    Carnitas and chorizo tacos
    Jordan R.

    Authentic Mexican food. Fantastic tacos and burritos. I had chorizo and carnitas tacos. Highly recommend

    three tacos on a plate

    Amazing food! The service was amazing and the Tacos were phenomenal. If you're getting tacos, shredded beef is the way to go!

    As authentic as Mexican food gets. This is the real deal. Sopes, tortas, real Mexican tacos, everything here is good. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Refrieds are excellent smoky flavor, real Mexican cheese, flautas were really crispy. Good red salsa, green salsa and thick tasty chips. Small but family run and busy.

    Five stars for Mexican food in Lincoln and taco Tuesdays! I have only been there once so I cant speak for the rest of the menu yet, but the tacos are quite delicious. I definitely recommend giving this "hole in the wall" a try-I especially enjoyed the cheek meat taco. Fatty and oh so good. Great service and they also have Mexican bottled sodas and other Mexican drinks. Oh and Mexican candy by the register! I'll definitely be back. Eating tacos here will make you never want to return to your local fast food joint.

    Great food but they act like they don't know what their Thursday special is for nachos! They also act like they don't understand English. Very dirty as well.

    damb tasty meal

    Authentic Mexican cuisine and great service. Good stop as I traveled cross country. Parking is not great - but the food is worth it.

    This place is great, I had the birria tacos and it really took me home. Most authentic tacos I've had since moving to Nebraska.

    Walked in and were greeted right away by stagf with a great attitude. Seated us in a nice table…read moreand took our drink order. I had a Julian marg (Cadillac marg, different name) yummy. I ordered the carne asada. Had a small fopa on original plate but the staff made an amazing recovery. Needless it was amazing. I ate wayyyyy to much. Overall we parked right in front and the restaurant was warm, clean with a great Hispanic feel. Best mecixan we have had so far in lincoln.

    Parking is shared parking. We were early for Sunday lunch…read more There are a mixture of booths and tables and we were attended to by our server Julio. We were seated immediately. And tended to. We were served chips and salsa. Those were made in the restaurant. Piping hot and delicious salsa. I got a mangonada margarita and a malcojete seafood. Mixture of seafood ( shrimp octopus and scallops in a hot spicy sauce with mixed vegetables- cauliflower, brocoli pepper, onions and mushrooms). My hubby got a margarita that was similar to a cadillac margarita. And carne asada. It was very chill and family friendly ; when we were there, some college kids were there in a group and they basically placed tables together to form a row for them. Highlu adaptable. Our food came delicious and piping hot. I loved my order of malcojete seafood. Flavour was fantastic. Shrimp octopus and scallops were very nicely done- succulent and juicy. Considering we are in the midwest- the seafood they cooked was fantastic. I would urge them to cut the pieces of octopus just a little larger. The scallops were small but delicious. It was a fantastic meal and Julio's service was wonderful. Hubby's carne asada was a little dry initially but Julio took notice and had the kitchen serve up a better piece. Wonderful service recovery. We will be back. This is truly one of the best mexican places we have been to here in Lincoln.
