I used to live in Omaha and then moved to Texas, where all the Tex-mex lives. I had lunch at Trini's and have to say that Trini's was a delicious Mexican food change. I had a cheese enchilada and a guacamole tostada. The enchilada was a good size, so lots of cheesy goodness. The tostada had plenty of guacamole. This was the best meal I've had in a while. Less Tex-mex and more Mexican is where it's at! Enjoy the beautiful location in the Old Market underground. The staff was friendly and very responsive. If you're in the Underground craving Mexican food, you won't want to miss this. read more

As always, just delicious! We make it a point to come here every time we visit from Des Moines. Food is flavorful and so fresh, everything is clearly made with fresh ingredients and it shows. Margaritas are excellent and service has always been great. Atmosphere in the Old Market Passageway is just an added bonus for a fantastic meal! read more

The atmosphere alone is a reason to come to Trini's! The perfect place for date night! We split the fajitas and they were great! We came 30 minutes before they closed and they seated us very promptly and our server was very nice and never left us hanging! Pretty good Marg! read more

Fast service and delicious food. The restaurant was a little small, but no issues getting seated right away. Had the chips and salsa and the chicken portobello enchiladas for dinner (very tasty!). read more

I LOVED this place! The service was excellent, the food was amazing and the ambiance was divine. I will be coming back here again and the food was priced just right for good quality Mexican with an awesome atmosphere. I don't know why this place had 3 stars, because my experience here was almost near perfect! Tips to remember: - Make a reservation because it is a small restaurant - ask to sit "outside" in the old market passageway. - Great spit for birthdays, they give a free dessert and the banana split....... O M G! - Closes at 8 so don't make a call late in the evening! read more

Food was great ! Service was excellent, we got our food quickly and at a reasonable price. The restaurant was cool inside and clean. I'll definitely go back * hidden gem !! read more

My friends and I went here for dinner tonight and the customer service was incredible! The food was delicious and affordable. The ambiance of both the inside and outside is beautiful and welcoming. Our waiter's name was Angel and he was very kind and bubbly, he made our night! We were also given free queso. Everyone there is just so nice!!! read more

This restaurant is SO cute and it's in a nice shopping area in Omaha. I'm traveling there for work now and I'm always searching for cool places. The food is just ok. The chips are fresh and homemade and they are delicious, but the salsa is sooooo bland....tastes like store bought. I just had a taco as I wasn't very hungry and it was ok. I'll likely go back and try a few more things but I sadly won't get chips and salsa (they charge for them) because the salsa is disappointing. Service was good. read more

Have been here a few times. Food is decent TexMex... nothing special. We walked in recently with a group of five people without a reservation & owner was rude & was in disbelief someone would show up without a reservation. #don'tbeadouche read more

Food was excellent! Big portions and yummy drinks! However, it was hard to get anyone's attention if we needed anything. Waited about 20 minutes before we could even get a box to go. read more

Super Americanized mexican. Cream mushroom sauce on an enchilada was good but just wasn't what I expected. Cheese dip was cheddar cheese based. Puffy shrimp taco had a great flavor. Guac was good but didn't have anything in it. Tamale had great flavor but was dry. read more

The BEST Mexican Restaurant in the Omaha metro. They have BEST chicken fajitas, they arrive from the Kitchen sizzling on cast iron skillet. The Big Jaun chicken chimichanga is the BEST Dave's way! I highly recommend the place as the service is by far the BEST in town. We have dining here more than 10 years. The staff Rich and Kelly are like family. Thank you Trini's for a wonderful place to eat for over a decade. read more

This place was a great "hole in the wall" in Old Market! Gave us some time to recover from the insane crowds and sensory stimulation. The service was prompt, and the host sat everyone as far apart from each other as he could -- which was awesome!! We tried four different items; the beef burrito was meh, but the tamale and chicken enchilda were quite good. The real winner, and what would absolutely bring me back, is the fish taco! Fish tacos sounded gross to me, but our waitress recommended it, and it blew me and my boyfriend away! Best taco I've ever had, period. read more

Trini's downtown Omaha never disappoints! Delicious Mexican food! Great ambiance! Highly recommend it the Blackened Tilapia Fish Tacos! They were incredibly flavorful and plentiful! My other half had the seafood combo with a shrimp puffy taco, 2 skewers of shrimp, and a Krab/shrimp enchilada with cream cheese! Please just let the pictures speak for themselves read more

This was really just eh. The female blonde server acted as if I was scum for simply eating in the restaurant. She never smiled at me or any other table once. I saw her repeatedly sitting down in a chair while I had to ask other servers there for assistance. I also get peeved when you charge for chips and salsa and then serve one of the worst salsas I've had in my life. The fajitas tasted like something you'd get at an Applebees. read more

This one is a 10 for the charming ambiance! I throughly enjoyed my meal as well! The chips and Salsa are above average with each appearing to be made fresh and in house. I had the vegetarian combo with a guac tostado and a cheese enchilada and since I am not a vegetarian I subbed the black beans for the refritos and boy am I glad I did! The best cheese enchilada ever and the beans and rice were excellent. The tostada was good but not superior as the other items. We weren't in the mood for alcohol so no idea how the margaritas are. We were very pleased with our check as well. So glad we tried it, we will be back when we are back in Omaha. read more

I love Trini's! Such a cute spot. I really enjoyed both the food & atmosphere. We ended up with several a la carte items, including a tostada, taco, and enchilada (all chicken). The enchilada was good, but had a white cheese sauce instead of a red sauce. Something to note if you're looking for a classic chicken enchilada. The Caldo Xochitl was my favorite part of the meal. The broth was rich and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Went back and tried this place again, phenomenal food and drinks and the service was great. Deft a good try if you're in Omaha. The guac is good including the blackened chicken. read more

We sat in the hallway area so we could enjoy the lights. The staff was amazing, good margaritas but I think we'll just get a pitcher next time. I had a chicken and portabella mushroom enchilada with a puffy shrimp taco. The enchilada was good but the taco was amazing! read more

Fun place to dine. My family of 5 ate an evening meal here. Staff was kind and inviting and food was great. Price was right on as well.

Something went wrong at Trini's last night. Something went very, saltily, cold and wrong. I'd been looking forward to fish tacos at Trini's all week (since they - used - to be my favorite and most highly recommended in town). Not so anymore, as I was pretty disappointed. The night started off well with a $2 house margarita special. Little did I know that the salt surrounding the rim of what appeared for all intensive purposes to be a milkshake glass would also make its presence known in a bold way during the main course. I ordered my tacos blackened shrimp instead of fish - per my earlier review - and enjoyed the first pretty handily. Unfortunately meanwhile Bill had to send his fish tacos back because the permeating flavor of salt was all either of us could taste. Meanwhile, the salt monster struck again on my second shrimp taco (those shrimp must have been touching the fish from earlier), but I ate it anyway. The second round of fish tacos were better, but nothing close to the amazingness we remembered. All in all, nobody was in a rush thankfully, because our dinner was something on the order of 2 hours long. Several dishes also came out to the table only lukewarm. Bummer... I will say, though, that under new ownership Trini's has flourished in terms of cleanliness and decor. Gone is the cave-like feeling of the inner-restaurant area, and you've got to love the passageway. Still, it'll be a while before I head back here to try again. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Definitely one of the worst tasting Mexican restaurants I've been to. Service was fast but brusque - the kind of place where they're too "busy" for basic verbal courtesy. Other than that ambiance was fun and festive. read more

I've been told you can't get good Tex-Mex food outside of Texas. Wrong!! Trini's fit the bill perfectly. Homemade salsa, crispy chips, delicious Strawberry Margaritas, a cheesy enchilada, and a tasty taco accompanied by rice, beans, and a tamale. I ate inside the restaurant, but eating outside in the passageway is a lovely option. My server was attentive and VERY personable!! Trini's was recommended on the TCU Horned Frog Nation Facebook page as a go-to restaurant during the College World Series, and I highly recommend it, too!! read more

Trini's is such a cute restaurant located in a hidden area. My husband and I LOVED everything about it, from the location to the food, and the music they were playing. Customer service was outstanding! read more

This place is so awesome! Situated in the Old Passageway in Old Market, the building itself is somewhere that everyone should visit while in Omaha! As for Trinis, the best fish tacos I have ever had. Blacked Tilapia with black beans, veggies, all in a puffed taco shell! Chips and Salsa are an extra charge but worth it! The margaritas are a little underwhelming but still good! Services are always fast and friendly! The place is located in the lower level of the building, all brick, kindve dark but it sets the ambiance of the places as a whole! For sure check this place out! read more

The outside of the building was the best aspect of this experience. This was not authentic Mexican. It was poor quality would never go back.

food and service was excellent. griffin was a great waiter. will be back.the puffy taco was great! my friend who never been there was impressed with food and griffin. read more

Absolutely loved this place. The food was good, Margaritas were excellent only complaint was that you don't get chips and salsa before hand like your normally would at a Mexican restaurant. Other than that the prices were great and it's such a cute little atmosphere! Will likely be back! read more

Usually enjoy trinis. Steak fajitas are the best. Went today and they were tasteless. There was nothing good about them. My husband ordered The Big Juan and that tasted old. Probably won't go back for a while. The lady working the front rushed us when ordering and wasn't anywhere around when we were ready. Only nice thing about the visit was younger fella working. He was nice. read more

Kelly was our server! She rocked our night. She was knowledgeable and friendly and man was she prompt. When we got there they said 20 minutes but turned to be only 10. The host or Manager was awesome. I enjoyed the chicken portobello mushroom enchiladas and my wife has a taco salad she really enjoyed. Go there you won't be disappointed. read more

Food and service have always been just ok. Last night the host was so rude I won't be going back. After waiting for 20 minutes past our reservation time and watching him help the third newly arrived party with no reservation, I asked if he could seat us. There were many open tables and we were waiting in a cramped walkway. He told me to go somewhere else. So we had a lovely dinner at Stokes. Go there or anywhere but not Trini's! read more

I absolutely love the location and ambience. It's not exactly authentic Mexican food, more Tex-Mex. I like Mexican restaurants that serve the chips and salsa without asking. The chips and salsa are good, but it's disappointing that they charge extra for them. The margaritas are not as good/strong as they used to be, in my case, maybe that's a good thing. The prices are very reasonable. read more

I went to Trini's about a month ago with my GF and it was a good experience. We came here because it is my GF's favorite mexican restaurant in Omaha so I had to see what it was all about. We sat at a table that was right next to a party of about 20, with kids, so that was a tad loud, which kind of took a bit away from the experience. I ordered the Chimichanga. The weird thing, was that I had to ask for the sides of lettuce, tomato's, etc. That generally comes with most entree's by default. Either way, the chimi was pretty dang good. They had specials on margarita's as well so we both indulged on some alcoholic beverages, which were super tasty. All in all, I would love to go back to Trini's to try some of their other dishes; hopefully without a wedding party sitting next to me..... read more

Little Mexican restaurant tucked away in the old market, specifically in the Old Market Passageway. Here you can get a reservation or give it a shot to do walk-in. You also have the choice of sitting inside or right out front if the restaurant. What makes this place special is its in the Passageway, which is an alleyway that's weather controlled, so no fear of the cold or rain here! Came here with a couple of friends to catch up and the vibes were cozy and intimate. Definitely a good place for a date night with the mood lighting and the feeling of being hidden from the bustle of downtown omaha. Started with chips and queso which was a solid choice. Then for the entree the chicken and steak fajitas, which came as a big serving and good flavor. Little disappointed there was no sauce, but did have other toppings to put in the tortilla (pico, cheese, lettuce). We also of course got a couple pitchers of their lime margarita, which was definitely a solid choice. Overall this place was fun and different because of the location, however the meal was alright, nothing special. Would probably come again for the vibe :) read more

This restaurant is situated in the old market area. I thought I wouldn't find this antique alley way view after looking for it so long. It turned out to be a surprise when we decided on this restaurant, so that's a bonus. It has such a good view to dine with. We got #1 in combination and chimichanga. In fact the food was a general type mexican food. compared to others places, it was not as authentic because the some ingredients were not provided for the same dish. Service was nice. I guess the view was a great compensation to the slight disappointment. Recommend to take pix here though haha. read more
