    We ordreded the shrimp tacos with black beans and rice.

    We had a late dinner with friends at Primo's. It had come highly recommended so we gave it a try. It was quiet and slow while we were there. There were a few folks sitting and eating and a few more at the bar. It did not impress us. Our waitress was young and lackluster with her service. After we ate, we sat and talked for a bit; however, nobody came and cleared our table, so we had to ask. This is a pet peeve of mine. Now on to the food. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Some items came out colder than thay should have. I can't honestly recommend eating here; however, if you don't hopefully your experience will be much, much better!

    I remember coming to this building when it was Petro's, they made some nice updates but has the same great feel as it used to. We ordered the queso and chips, as well as two meals, it was more than enough food. I got the chicken flautas which you choose two sides, I went with the street corn and frijoles charros. The flautas were crispy filled with chicken and came covered with sour cream and guacamole, delicious! The street corn was yummy and creamy. My fiancé had the chimichanga, it was massive! If you're looking for great food and huge portions stop in.

    I just love the outdoor seating area. Plenty of space that you can reserve. Getting there is made easy by a dedicated parking lot and HC access. Special lunch menu available daily until 2 PM. Allows for a smaller portions that are probably sized for what we should be eating - all at a fantastic price. Service is great. If you sit outside in the middle of the afternoon, you may have to go and let them know when you need something but it's pretty laid-back. I've been here now, three times in the span of a month and see myself as a regular at this location Food is delicious and I just love their street corn side.

    Sunday funday right? For some reason just the thought of a patio with some chips, salsa and guacamole sounded right up our alley. Swung by Primo's and shared some, along with some kick-ass shrimp fajitas, tacos michoacán, watermelon candy shot, and Dos Equis (on tap!). ALL of it was superb! I usually tack on a chile relleno al la cart but I was committed to the fajitas. Looking for a great place to smash some chips and salsa with a great outdoor patio, I'd definitely give Primo's some thought before you head west. Service was fabulous and I'm telling you, you cannot beat their outdoor patio!

    Primo's was one of our favorites when we lived in Council Bluffs, and now having one in Omaha is great! This has been here for a while now but my first time dining in for a meal. We were super impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant and the speed of service over lunch, despite a big rush after we sat down. Everything came out fast, hot, and very large portions! I tried their chicken enchilada and taco lunch special. It's a great deal with 2 sides included. Highly recommend the fried taco shell! Super crunchy and flavorful with the beef. Their street corn side is also big on flavor and not super spicy. I'd recommend coming here anytime for great Mexican food and great service!

    Primo's is an open and comfortable space with a nice mix of Tex-mex and casual American food. The staff are polite and efficient. While the food and experience aren't super impressive, it's one of the better neighborhood restaurants.

    Enchilada and taco lunch special

    We waited too long to visit this relatively new restaurant in the neighborhood. Located in the former Petrow's building, we were glad to hear the geothermal heating/cooling system is still in use and working well. They've added a large circular bar to the back/north end of the space, with TVs which I'm guessing are usually tuned to sports. Fun fact: they serve both Coke AND Pepsi. But the food - it's amazing. We tried a lunch combo with enchilada and fried-shell taco and it was soooo good! We also had a torte with fries, and I feel awkward saying this about a Mexican restaurant but - the hand cut fries alone are worth a visit!! We took home have the sandwich and enchilada and are already dickering about how we plan to share them Next time I hope to get there for breakfast - it looks amazing!

It's super cute inside, with so many bright colors, neat Día de los Muertos murals along the walls, colorful pendants strung on top of the dining area, and a very cool bar with a patterned, arched shelves. Even the dishes and cups are fabulous, with earthenware mugs, blue Talavera style dishes and bowls, and even branded El Milagro margarita glasses. Now more importantly, the FOOD is just as good as the decor and the dishware. They use extra high quality ingredients, and everything is always served hot and fresh. We have had the birria, nachos, street tacos, flautas, and so many other things when we branch out and try something new. Their drink options are also great, with strong margaritas, crisp cervesas, and tasty cocktails. The service is always fantastic, and they are always hopping with customers, so you know you found a good spot. Best of all, you get pretty large portions, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some of the newer Mexican restaurants in town. Next time you're thinking about heading to the Texas Roadhouse area, skip the Roadhouse and try El Milagro instead! I guarantee you will not regret your decision.

However, unlike other Mexican restaurants you do have to pay for additional salsa. I went with a house margarita and the benveza beer, and both were good and cold. I went with the steak picaditas. I hadn't had them before but they were similar to a torta, except the base is a very thick corn tortilla. I like the flavor of the steak, tortilla, sour cream and veggies combined. My husband got the birria platter and liked it. It's very similar to Javi's birria. Overall everything was good.

This last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

The place is very large and open, so you don't feel like you're walking on top of others and can have conversations without feeling like you need to yell to be heard or whisper to not be overheard. Their chips and salsa were delicious. Salsa is house made and the chips are fried to order. You get a first basket for free, but the second we had to pay for- be aware. Their tacos are amazing. I had three street tacos and then two basic hard and soft tacos. I started with the basics, and was very impressed. The meat was nice and flavorful and somehow seemed....soft? I was initially bummed looking at them because I thought "just lettuce and meat?" But there's some fantastic cheese hidden under the lettuce. The shells were the perfect soft and a crunch. I would love to just have a few of these for the meal and be good! I had the three street tacos- steak, pastor, and carnitas. I was pleased with all three! They were flavorful, moist, and the shells were once again perfect. I very much enjoyed the steak and they had just the right amount of crisp with all of the flavor. You can tell that all of these were made fresh to order. Their house margs were wonderful. They weren't too sweet and you got more than you imagined. When we got the bill, it's noted that there's a discount if you pay with cash, but no added fee for paying with a card; so keep that in mind.
