This is the second Voodoo taco location I have taken my appetite to. I was pleasantly surprised with the larger portions they gave in their tacos compared to the Aksarben location. Two tacos were more than enough for my apetite. I love the fried avocado in the vegetarian tacos I ordered. Tacos are a bit pricey, Yes...but you got to keep in mind there DOES come a price with quality ingredients. You're not sauntering into a Taco Bell people. With that being said, the tacos are probably the best tacos I have had in a long time. Very unique flavors. I just wish they didn't hand out teaspoon size salsa cups. I don't like having to walk all the way back to the counter to wait in line to ask for a decent proportion of sauces. I was disappointed they didn't have the quality tap beer selection they do in the Aksarben location. Not the end of the world though. This place is a bit crowded, and I have to agree with Dave B. The tables are shaky and hard to eat on. There was a line wrapping almost around half the restaurant and it is hard to hear your own conversation. There are too few tables for the amount of people that come here. I saw strangers sitting with strangers just to eat their food because there is hardly any space. 4 stars. Why? Smart location, artistic and creative interior, amazing food and nice servers. I love the spicy sauces..I wish I knew their secret recipes for these mind blowing salsas. :) Despite the hectic atmosphere, I will be back next time I do another outlet mall shopping trip. The food is too tasty to not want to return. read more

Voodoo Taco - Beautiful day to treat myself to quality spicy food. :) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

See all

This place is a disgusting excuse for a restaurant. The entire place was filthy. Kind of like what you would see at a run down theme park. Food was cold. Had the fried chicken burrito. Cold. Had the blackened chicken taco. Cold. The condiments are communal bottles that are not cleaned or policed. The service is robotic and cold. I have always seen this place and really wanted it to be good. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Eating at this place makes you understand just how ridiculous this country's concept of good food is when you see other reviews that give it 5 stars. Save yourself the absolute disgust and letdown and just go to McDonalds. At least the food will be warm. Maybe not hot but at least warm. OMG I cannot stress enough that this place is like typhoid and collets teamed to open a restaurant. read more

I had a jackfruit taco with the zombie tots delicious! If you're vegan grab some of the jackfruit tacos they are great

When this place opened I really thought it was something special. Now, it's really gone downhill. Took my out of town family here to eat after talking it up. I was embarrassed when we got there. Dirty tables, server who wasn't even sure what time zone he was in. Food seems to have become bland and assembly line. The men's room was like a truck stop bathroom in a crummy part of town. I'm a guy and I was disgusted. Obvious no one was coming in there regularly. Sad to give this review, and doubtful I will return. read more

Sooo yummy! I had some taco I really don't remember what kind. Pork carnitas? It was delish! I had guacamole and chips too! I will be going back! Best tacos ever! read more

Voodoo Taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

With long waits and expensive prices, you might expect this to be fine dining. Actually, it's just sob-par tacos that take forever, combined with bad service and frazzled over packed uncomfortable environment. I've given them way too many chances, you're better off getting authentic tacos in South Omaha at 1/3 this price. In fact, you could probably drive from Gretna to South Omaha in less time than it takes for these guys to crank out a taco. Even with the additional gas money, you would still be in the black. Edit: OK, I made that review before I actually ate the food on this occasion. Even though I have eaten their food before in the past, with disappointment. On this instance, it took a disappointment to a new level, horribly disgusting horribly unfresh stale chips nasty flavor just pure disgusting. read more

The food was okay. Nothing to rave about. I got a chicken fajita and a crispy chicken taco. No sauces were provided or offered other than what was on the item. My first impression is that they were understaffed and dirty. Floor was dirty. Bathrooms were not as clean as I would like. I did leave feeling full but not with the feeling I needed to come back. read more

My first time eating here I got the Ghost Pepper Bowl and I am not the best with hot food but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it and even crave it now. I would definitely recommend to anyone stopping by here because not only is their food great but so is the staff. This definitely has made my list of the few places I enjoy eating out at. read more

the food has no seasoning, very bland tasting. the portion for the rice bowl is very small for the praise of $15 dollars.

Stopped in during a shopping trip. Hoping to catch a quick bite of some loved tacos. Unfortunately it was nowhere near quick. From time of order until we received our 2 tacos, was 53 minutes. Also we ordered zombie tots we NEVER received. In their defense it was a weekend and only 3 staff, however not once until I inquired about wait time did they share how far behind they were. Had they been forthright upfront I'd have probably saved my time and theirs and not ordered. read more

I guess most have beat me to the punch on writing a bad review: Definitely changed since I've last been there. They took too long to make the order. Nobody was there except one other at the time. Food portions have definitely shrank. On top of that, pieces of burnt, caked oil bits were in the food. Customer Service: The cashier kid with the glasses never says anything. He's been working there a while. No "Hi", no "Thank you", nothing. Certainly adds to the overall impression. It's a shame it has become this way. I used to enjoy stopping there passing through. read more

Pretty good food! Only reason I've deducted a star is because I wish there was a bit more options. The options are still very wonderful and delicious. read more

2 1/2 stars. We're staying in Omaha and wanted to meet a friend halfway between here and Lincoln, so we decided to check out Voodoo Taco in Gretna. We read the reviews, and unfortunately, the bad ones were the most accurate. The tacos are way over priced, not too flavorful, and the inside of the restaurant & tables outside were both dirty and there was a lot of trash that needed to be taken care of. The service was just okay, but at least this restaurant is more original than McDonald's. Overall, would not recommend. read more

Voodoo Taco - Four tacos & a drink was $22 - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

I dropped in here last night and was excited to try the food once I saw the menu. The menu is limited to about 6 different kinds of tacos. It was the most I've ever paid for tacos. I had two tacos with chips and queso. Without a drink it was over $15. It was quite a bit of food, but still get it was overpriced. I asked about salsa and they were out of all of their house made options. The atmosphere cold be kind of cool, but it was dirty. Although it wasn't busy and the staff had plenty of time they're were dirty tables all around me and most surfaces could stand a good scrub. Food is just above average but not worthy of the price. read more

$6 a taco I'd expect something better. Not much balance of flavor. Lots of salt and not much freshness that you'd expect in a taco. Unimpressed. read more

Good food. The spicy sauce definitely is very very spicy. The service is horrible!!! They guy bringing the food was more concerned with sweeping the floor then bring out food. We were waiting for over 10 minutes and saw our food at the window. His co-worker told him there is food ready to be delivered and he didn't care. After waiting another 5 minutes we finally went up to the kitchen window ourselves and grabbed the now barely warm tacos. We will not be coming back here!!! read more

Stopped in for tacos and made the mistake of not going to the ordering line. Employee yelled across the store for us to go to the wall. You cannot see the menu from the wall so it takes a long time to order because no one knows what they want. Then we get to the front and we want to order nachos but are told they are out of chips. They said they could sell us chips and queso or salsa though. The queso was excellent, only reason for the 2 stars. Prices are high for a taco shop. read more

Lesson learned: be wary of joints with "Voodoo" in the name. This is the Voodoo Donuts of tacos: juvenile branding (#showyourtaco to VD's "The magic is in the hole") overpriced reinventions of the wheel, hip decor, etc. Service was polite. I'm sure they're exhausted with the holiday season, and I'm not the type to expect employees to pretend we're BFFS. My boyfriend said his carnitas were good, so I'll take his word. My ghost pepper pork taco was not as spicy as I'd expected, but still pretty decent with melty-but-not-mushy pork, and the fried avocado was okay. I personally prefer warm corn soft tortillas over lukewarm flour tortillas. My biggest gripe is the chips and guacamole. The chips were seasoned like Potato Oles. I only want Potato Oles to taste like Potato Oles. The seasoning on the chips is a bit much paired with the guacamole, which was pasty and gritty and made the stuff at Taco Bell seem gourmet. I think the taco fillings were pretty good, but there are so many other options around that I can't see myself returning any time soon. read more

A place called Voodoo Taco, with bold graphics, logo and decor needs to deliver some wow. Unfortunately, all we experienced at Nebraska Crossing was blah. Mahi taco, not enough fish. Shrimp taco, good shrimp, no flavor. Barbacoa taco, no pizazz. I judge restaurants that serve Mexican inspired food on their refrieds and these were bland and uninspiring. Salt would have added some flavor. Really disappointed in this restaurant. Expected more. Paid a lot, got very little. read more

The service is terrible, the place is filthy, the portions are insignificant and the prices are way overboard: $5 for a single, wet, cold tortilla taco, with a tiny load of meat and a mountain of cheese... better buy a Subway, its a few steps from there, or just cross the freeway, theres a Dennys or the food at the Flying J its by far superior. I was charged $30 for 3 tacos, 3 drinks and 2 chip orders... I could have 2 full meals for half the price at Hardees. I could say that, Taco bell, its more mexican than this place, given that, I'm mexican! read more

The food was not my issue...although I found it to be slop in a paper boat. The price was not my issue...as it is what it is. No doubt they pay big rent. I found the $4.95 taco to be very UNDERWHELMING. The service was ok for a fast food 'delivered to your table' mall presentation. THE ISSUE I HAD WAS THE FILTH OF THE PLACE. I FELT LIKE I WAS EATING IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. I can't imagine the Health Department of Gretna knows what the area looks like...as it was disgusting. I guess if you wanted to upscale your fast food Mexican food experience, you could go to Taco Bell. Taco Bell is a Michelin Five Star compared to THIS location for Voodoo Taco. But...then again...it was at a regional mall filled with clients who stood in line for the food. What do I know? read more

The food was pretty over priced. We paid $114.00 to feed 4 adults and 2 small kids. When it arrived there was extra food we didn't order and the food was t exactly hot. By 4 am that very next morning I was so sick with symptoms of food poisoning that I missed 2 days of work. Very disappointed in this place and will never go back. read more

Shopping at the Nebraska Crossing outlets means shopping in an otherwise low-commercial area. Right off the highway between Omaha and Lincoln, your food choices are McDonald's, Denny's and the food court (which I can never find). Today, we found Voodoo Taco. Today, our outlet shopping experience entered, happily, voodoo territory. Walking into VT, (I was raised Catholic. I think there's something written somewhere about using voodoo. Since I can't be sure if that applies to tacos, I'll call it VT.) we were greeted with music that says "you have entered a place with great music." The music was great, not too loud but audible. In a weird confluence, we heard Muse playing while Winnie the Pooh ran on the TV. Certainly, this is a place with seating in and outside where those two can finally get along. But, I digress. Walking in, you are immediately greeted with a big menu board describing 14 (not counting the menu for kiddos) different kinds of tacos, carnitas and fajitas, each with a name that begs further inquiry. The Barbacoa taco is made with shredded beef with avocados, Cajun fried onions, Cotija cheese and BBQ sauce. The Norteno has fajita steak, BBQ, poblano peppers and pickled jalapeños. The Alligator is, wait for it, grilled and smoked alligator sausage, corn, asadero cheese and pico. It takes more than a minute to order because who can believe that an outlet mall restaurant in rural Nebraska would have a taco made with alligator. (Think Muse and Winnie the Pooh...you get it now, don't you?) In all, these eats are not your chihuahua's tacos. The menu offers anything but your run-of-the-mill tacos, all of these costing about $4 each. The menu rounds out with chips and salsa, queso, guacamole and beans, rice and corn. In addition to the standard, un-voodoo-esque sodas, VT has a beer selection of about 6-8 beers. I'll be honest, I didn't look that closely at the beer because I was still processing the whole alligator thing. We neophytes ordered fried chicken tacos, beef fajitas, chips and queso. All of these were delicious. The fried chicken tacos had bite-sized pieces of a chicken tender with the ordinary taco toppings of lettuce, tomato and cheese on a white corn shell. Sounds ordinary but wait, I haven't told you the best part yet. The taco came with a chipotle ranch dressing. And this chipotle ranch dressing was awesome. It was a creamy, fresh ranch that boasted the smoky heat of a chipotle. Without it, this taco would have been a disappointment. But with it, it made these tacos noteworthy. The steak fajitas were served with tender slices of skirt steak with grilled poblano peppers and onions, asadero cheese and pico. My favorite husband choose the mild fire-roasted tomato salsa. It had some heat but was not completely void of spiciness that so many salsas miss. The chips and queso were also right on the mark. The paper boat was over-flowing with crispy corn chips that carried just enough salt. The queso came in a 12-15 liquid ounce bowl. It was creamy and, again, right on the mark for spiciness. Not mild to the point of bland but not so spicy that your eyeballs sweat. The menu describes seven different kinds of salsas, from the one-flame fire-roasted tomato to the four-flame raspberry scorpion which is described as salsa made from the hottest pepper on Earth with a hint of raspberry. Our first time in, no one in our group felt courageous enough to try it but it definitely registered on the curiosity scale. Two tacos and two fajitas, chips and queso rang in at $20. Two tacos were the right size for me. My husband could have handled a third fajitas. All in all, good food with shopping money left over. Driving away with full shopping bags and tummies, I felt a little sad that it wasn't closer to the city so we could put it in the restaurant rotation. I was elated to learn from their website that they do have a location in Omaha (90 & Fort) AND a food truck! All of this leads to the coveted five stars. Try it! Love it! And then go to confession because, again, I don't know how this whole voodoo/Catholic thing can work out. If it's anything like the food and the atmosphere, I think these two can commingle with no problem at all! read more

I'm not sure what I've heard before or the draw for this place is, but I have little desire to go back. I've been here twice and on both occasions the meal and customer service wasn't worth the price. First, while it may seem like the prices are great here, that's because it's per taco. The average 'Murican is gonna eat at least two themselves so you can basically double the price of everything. We went hungry and paid the price of a high end restaurant which Voodoo Taco is not. Second, the customer service is seriously lacking. This last time we went in, surprised at the few number of people on a Sunday night, we had to wait for the girl taking orders to count out her tips (mind you it was an hour before closing time), then once she'd figured out how much cash she had coming to her, she pawned us off on someone else to take our order. Once we sat down it took ten minutes (reminder: it wasn't busy) for people, who came in after us, to get their chips and queso when we'd ordered the same thing too. We had to hunt down someone else who acted like we were trying to pull a fast one on them until we produced a receipt. So much for "customer is always right". When the tacos finally did come, they were nothing special and felt like they'd been waiting for a while and not warm anymore. Third, the place was a wreck. Rows of lights not turned on (not necessary to have a romantic setting), soda area was trashed, there was food diaspora all over the floor, and the restroom was dirty. So, am I or my family going back...smeh, I doubt it very much. I think there's cheaper, better chain fast food nearby... read more

Came in to try voodoo taco while shopping at Nebraska crossing outlets. A little on the expensive side for tacos but the interesting combinations make it worth it. My mother and I ordered a lobster taco, barbacoa taco, alligator taco and steak fajita tacos. Everything was perfectly crafted and unique. I would recommend the lobster taco because of its combination of pineapple and spices blended perfectly with the lobster. I would personally stay away from the alligator taco because of its similar profile to a cut up brat. read more

Voodoo Taco - Combination of chips and queso with: alligator taco, lobster taco, and steak fajita taco - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

The food looks great but it definitely needed salt or other spices. The staff is very nice. Salsa was flavorless. Wanted a margarita but they weren't ready to serve them at noon. Could be much better. Pricing is a bit high. Won't do pay less than $5 for a taco read more

Unique menu with some great options. The food itself I give a 4. The service was horrible. Not something I would complain about at a fast food taco place. However, paid over $25 for our lunch and it doesn't appear they just want to be a fast food taco place. The manager appears to hate her job and customers appear to be an inconvenience. The customers in front asked for chips and salsa and at 11:05 she said "we're out". Ok - weird but ok. I have a diet restriction and cannot eat dairy or soy. I asked the clerk what options i had and she said I don't know. So I asked her to ask. The manager came up and why pointing out two options on the menu while she held onto her cell phone. She clearly was more interested in finishing her text than selling her products to us. I would have gone somewhere else but not many options at the mall. Place could be great with better service and leadership. read more

I've tried the other Voodoo taco in Omaha, and this one has the identical menu. I appreciate that there is one non-chain restaurant At the NEX outlets. We visited on a very busy and hit weekend. It was difficult to find a place to sit and the line was very long. Also their ice machine was broken and they were out of guacamole. The kitchen staff was running crazy trying to keep up, and I have to give them Kudos for that. I would like to suggest that they add more 2-seater tables instead of four-seater because almost everyone in the place was in a couple. Now on to the food... We ordered two tacos each plus cheese dip, and it was plenty of food! My Barbacoa taco was delicious, and the fried onions added a nice crunch. My dining companion ordered the green chile and carnitas taco, and she said they were delicious. My only complaint about the food is hat the chips are not evenly seasoned and some become very salty. I spoke to the owner at the other voodoo location about this same issue a few months ago, and he said he is working on it. This is a good choice for gluten free because the tacos can be ordered with corn tortillas. read more

I went to this place for the first time... the service was bad. It took me 15 minutes to get one taco to go. The staff acted like I was the invisible guy the entire time. Bullshitting with the cooks. It was really unreal! Avoid this place like the plague! read more

The blackened chicken nachos were bomb but I'm pretty sure they gave me food poisoning.

I've been to voodoo taco before and there chips and queso has always been very good. Except today at this location at NEX the queso was cold and has no toppings, I asked the cashier to get me another. She brought another one out and it was cold, I am very disappointed in the NEX location Voodoo tacos because they don't live up to the aksarben location standards. read more

Voodoo Taco - Cold queso no topping - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

I really wanted to like Voodoo Taco but I am sorely unimpressed. 1) The wait. Came here around 3 PM on a Saturday and there was not a single table open. We awkwardly stood around until people began clearing from the dining area. A restaurant being this packed on rather unusual dining hours must mean they're serving up great food, right? ... wrong. 2) Ordered the "Cajun Chicken Salad". It was a couple of pieces of bland chicken and grilled peppers (?) on some wilted lettuce. Their guacamole was just okay as well. Maybe I will give Voodoo Taco another shot and order something else on the menu. The prices and quality of their food didn't seem to match up for me this time around. read more

An off duty officer walks in and the cook yells "hey y'all the fuzz is here". Never coming back! Update.. I was contacted by the owner, who advised they may have a joking relationship w the officer. Not in this case, but very impressive the owner took the time to address the issue. It makes officers uncomfortable when ordering food that the whole place knows who they are. You never know what someone (who doesn't like police) will do to it. With that said the food here is excellent! read more

Delicious, very friendly and fast. Impressed that they were doing so well with just 2 people during dinner rush!

This spot is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and it shows. Keep that in mind when looking at the reviews. The front of house was attentive and the back of house executed everything perfectly. The chicken was moist and crispy, the shrimp was crispy and plump and a very generous helping! Everything is fresh and you can tell. Give this place another chance, they're making moves. read more

Probably the slowest causal dining place I've ever been to, especially considering the huge number of employees on staff at 330 in the afternoon. We waited for over 30 minutes to place our order and a few people had to get refunded because they had ordered and waited over 45 minutes to get any food. Flies were buzzing all over the place, even the person taking the orders commented on it. Overall cleanliness, as others have commented, leaves a lot to be desired. Trash was everywhere, tables were not clean, and there were crushed chips everywhere outside. The food was good, but a tad overpriced considering the portions sizing. Excellent options on sauces for those who enjoy heat and we liked the voodoo dust on the tortilla chips. At the price point I wish the chips would have been closer to tasting more homemade. Overall the food was good; service was so-so and cleanliness was deplorable. We won't go back considering other options in the Omaha area that compete at this price point with better sevice and atmosphere. read more

I have been to the original location in Omaha and was not impressed with the service there. The Gretna location is by far superior!! I had the queso and chips which were very good. It is a huge portion which I will be taking home for left overs. I had the queso in Omaha and the chips were soggy and very oily. I had to ask for more chips also. I choose the norteno taco and put some of my queso on it. It was a huge taco and was very good. I will be back to try more things with my brother. This location is much closer to our home anyways. Good job Gretna Voodoo taco!! read more

Voodoo Taco - Alligator tacos! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

Almost as good as the original location! Something was missing but I'm not sure what.... So this has an entirely different atmosphere than the original, obviously. It's in a very upscale feeling shopping mall. I mean come on, how many of us can afford to shop at the stores here? Anyways, it's a real small building located in the middle of one of the corridors of the mall. There's maybe 10 tables inside and about 20 outside. I really enjoy the outside seating. Understaffed when I came, I expected it for a small location, but they had one cook who was obviously doing a pretty good job handling everything, one server, and the counter guy. A little wait, which I'm willing to put up with for Voodoo. I ordered my usual green chili and bacon breakfast tacos. They tasted slightly.....different....than I am used to. The breakfast taco's eggs were a little runny and the bacon was cooked too long and didn't have a lot of flavor. The green chile taco was packed with meat which is awesome, and overflowing with cheese (I'm fine with this, I love cheese). But...it wasn't hot. My breakfast taco was hotter. When I had the green chile taco at the 90th street location, it kicked my butt with that ghost chili powder. I know I made it sounds like it wasn't great, but it was. I still love Voodoo Taco's tacos as much as I did my first time there. This location may be lacking some ,but it's to be expected. I just hope the new Aksarben Village location works out some of the kinks. read more

I wanted to love it, but I just don't. I've now tried both locations and they haven't left me wanting more. I am not really a Taco Bell kind of girl, I would rather eat real food with flavor and I was hoping Voodoo would be it. I live in Gretna so it's close and it's not terribly expensive. People have complained about the price per taco. First of all, they use classy ingredients, these aren't dog meat TB tacos. And they're loaded. I ordered three because everything on the menu SOUNDED good and I couldn't decide. And it was tough to finish those three. I've gotten the fried chicken twice now and that seems to be the best one, but I don't think it contains anything that can really be screwed up. I also tried the barbacoa beef and the avocado and they were just okay. They LOOKED amazing but they didn't taste great and the textures were off. I wish there was more of the fried avocado in each bite but they barely put any on there and then load up too much of the cold stuff on top. More avocado, less cold topping. The barbacoa was somehow both soggy and dry in different places and it wasn't the best barbecue sauce I've ever had. Only the last bite or so where I could actually taste the cheese and the other toppings was any good. Their chips are pretty good, the queso is nothing to write home about, but it is a good-size portion. I really wish we could get more amazing taco places out west but I guess I'll have to keep traveling east of 90th for decent tacos! read more
