a man standing in front of a food truck
Lauren H.

Of course, when in South Omaha, one must try at least one of the many food trucks. Most of the ones north of L St were 15 people long, so we headed south on 24th, south of L to see what would be available. All I really wanted was elote. Found this gem a few blocks south on the West side, and fingers crossed with only 8 people deep; stood in line. Requested three steak tacos and one pork, hold the cilantro. Unfortunately, only walked out with three steak tacos and a lot of onion. Plus, no elote on the menu sadly. Taste wise, a little salty but true street tacos! Bite sized, little, and juicy. Was half tempted to go back and snag a tongue taco, but decided against it. Maybe next time. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Stop #3 on the Yelp taco tour 2015! ---[Behind a gas station and cash only] This joint was not "officially" on the list of places we were going to try, but we walked past it between stops and decided to pop in. With 2 more stops to go, I ordered a Horchata only and declined tacos, deciding to save my appetite for the next couple taco stops. The horchata here was ok, a little watery. I ended up eating here anyway- part of Matt's steak quesadilla, and that thing was no joke. If I were to come back here, I would order that. It was greasy, cheesy, and awesome--plus the steak actually had a lot of flavor and was grilled/minced to perfection. It looked a lot better than the tacos my compadres ordered, I have to admit. The dining area is quite large and able to fit more people than your average Mexican shop on 24th St. Also, they have a help yourself salsa and garnish bar (peppers, radishes, limes etc), which I liked since that way you can just take what you need with no waste. I rarely eat the grilled peppers they serve standard with the taco (most restaurants do this), yet I love radishes. Oh, and no free chips here. I know that could be a deal breaker for some people. Overall I dont think I would return for tacos, but I know if I have a steak quesadilla craving-this is where I would head.

We stumbled upon El Milagro while heading to Texas Roadhouse, and noticing that El Milagro looked a…read morelot better! 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.

Stopped in for my first visit last week and it was nice. We…read morewent mid-day so it was not busy and we had great service. I like they serve salsa and bean dip at the beginning. 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 the third time we've had dinner at this location. Every time we drive-by it always seems to be…read morebusy. The atmosphere inside is always very well decorated for the season/occasion. 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 tacos I had were very warm and very filling, I was able to take some home for lunch the next day. The Cantarita was ok, seemed like it wasn't something that is usually made and it seemed more like it came in a bowl than the typical dish ware. The servers were very friendly and was able to help out when we had questions. The place itself was very well decorated and didn't seem cluttered. They have a lot of metallic art so that was pretty cool.

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are the absolute best and the ambiance is very welcoming and comfortable. We started with some chips and dips, and the queso was delicious. It was the perfect amount of spice but still creamy and cheesy. The salsas were also very flavorful and a great start to our meal. I chose to get the carne asada for dinner and it was absolutely AMAZING. The steak was so juicy and tender, and seasoned to perfection. I was so impressed, and it was perfectly paired with some tortillas de maiz, the guacamole, and rice and beans. I would absolutely get this meal again. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were incredibly sweet, helpful, and provided great recommendations. I will absolutely be returning here again!

The tacos were very good! And the enchiladas were fantastic. We both had margaritas and they were very tasty and the tequila sneaks up on you quick! The place used to be an Old Chicago, so it's a little funny being in there but it was clean and well taken care of.
