El Muchacho Alegre

We went on a Friday at 5 thinking we would beat the dinner rush, oh no. Lines out the door and it was packed. We opted to not put our names in and sat at the bar where there was more open seating. Definitely a great option EXCEPT their barstools are the highest that are made. Very hard to get up and in at any age. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We ordered a chicken taco, which was yummy and steak fajitas. Huge serving but only gives 3 small tortillas. We didn’t order any drinks but the margaritas were flowing. Many staffers there.

They bring you chips & salsa when you are seated. The chips are so thin & crisp! Loved that! Salsa was not too spicy. (I don't do spicy). They have lots of drink choices: beer, margaritas, other mixed drinks. & of course soda (coke products). My hubby got the IRIS Burrito (chicken). It was HUGE! It had queso on one half & a red sauce on the other half. They did not skimp on the chicken. I got the (chicken) enchiladas (3) which came with rice, guacamole, Pico, & a little lettuce. This had red enchilada sauce on top. The waiter was very attentive & answered questions about menu items. Everything was very good & filling. We will go back.

We are on our vacation. Wife asked for some authentic Mexican food. I looked at the reviews for this place and thought she should like this place. When walking in I was greeted by very nice employees. I ordered take out. A California burrito 🌯. It was super big. Also very delicious. I oredered also the Birra tacos. They are supposed to be fried like crispy but they were not. Also had the churros. This would have been five stars but the tacos and churros were either not fried or the oil in the frier was old. They were not as good as burrito because of this . Atmosphere needs a little more comfortable inside. Needs some more authenticicity. Service was great. Thank you.

Ordered chimichanga, huevos el choro, horchata and fried ice cream. Absolutely one of the best tasting for mexican food in omaha hands down. Lots of food that was very delicious,fresh, and hot. Their Menu has lots of choices with explanations of what each one consists of, along with extremely reasonable pricing. Would definately come again and let others know!

Family owned and operated. Mom's recipe for the mole... Y U M! Hubby enjoyed the Watermelon 🍉 Margarita artfully created by our food server, Liz (see photo). Very family friendly. Generous portions. Ask for the spicy 🔥 salsa!
