“ This is a nice restaurant we have eaten here before and everything is always been good, so I figured tonight I will do a review.. They have an extensive menu, some people like that but I've always subscribed to less is more, have maybe 20 or so offerings and make sure they are perfection, but then again some people do enjoy having a large selection, if that's you, then you'll love it.. The restaurant is layed out nice, everything looks clean and fresh.. Steak burrito dinner was very good, excellent flavor, everything cooked perfectly.. Tamale was good. Chicken enchilada was good. For an appetizer we had queso with flour chips, this is something we frequently have here and it's always excellent. ”
“ Great food and experience! My wife got the grilled chicken quesadilla (which was massive), and I ordered the birria tacos -- both were delicious with more than enough food (including a whole other plate of rice and beans with mine) to share with our kiddos! Our waiter was excellent as well -- highly recommend! ”
“ Family gathering for my adult daughter’s birthday which El Vallarta has been her choice of places to eat on her special day for many years, so this is not our first time here; but I can not say that we are regulars to the establishment. Another thumbs up for good food and the restaurant gave off a cheerful/homey atmosphere. Servers were polite and prompt and seem to know when drinks were needed refilled. Total of 7 people were at our table and everyone really seemed to enjoy their food except for the Arroz con Mariscos, scallops were a bit too salty. Other than that, food was good and would recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves Tex-mex food. ”
“ We've been here about a half dozen times and always loved it. Tonight was super special, we came here for a quiet evening and it delivered. Now only was the food amazing and the service was fast but this was the first time we've tried margaritas. When we tried their blended strawberry margarita we found out that my wife doesn't like tequila, rather than just taking it away our server offered to make her their house margaritas and it has become her new favorite drink! Service alone will always get our business but the food, from the chips and made in house salsa to the main dishes everything was above and beyond our expectations. 10/10 will always be our go to spot for mexican in the Omaha metro. ”
“ Great place for Mexican food. First, the atmosphere is energetic. Credit goes to the welcoming staff and the wait staff. Second, the food is absolutely delicious. I had the beef burrito and two tacos with their hot sauces to add kick. Finally, they have great house margaritas, which will help you make a smart decision to stick around for more. I had Dos Equis green on tap for my delicious drink. I will return. ”
“ One of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Great atmosphere and friendly service. I especially love their pork dishes. Their chips are nice and warm when they come out, which excellent. ”
