One of the bartenders threatened to call the cops on MY HUSBAND for calmly walking an extremely drunk college kid out the front door that was being obnoxious and bothering other patrons. They clearly should not have been serving him and were refusing to do anything about his intoxication level. He was grabbing peoples wallets, bothering women at the bar, etc, and all he did was tell him to call it a night and walked him out. Then he was told, not asked, told to leave or they would call the cops on him. The poor bartender was a nice enough guy but was scared to do anything. Nice enough place but piss poor management.

Don’t recommend, as a Mexican the food is not good,the chicken was moving and the chilaquiles were not spicy at all and made with the wrong kind of tortillas but the workers are very nice and not there fault

Food isn’t very good , very bland and salsa is mediocre for a mexican restaurant. Drinks are just ok, kinda pricy for food for what you get.

One of my 5 favorite Mexican restaurants in Nebraska. I usually get the el peubleto. Chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas. Get extra tortillas. It lasts me two or three meals. Very good, fast and easy pickup or dine in, unless it's game day, football or basketball, I try to go around game days. They also have a tequila bar second to none in the city if you take a cab or Uber. I think they have several types of shots of tequila over $100 or more, very nice place.

our server was on his first day, but he was so kind and willing to learn. when he didnt know something we asked he got help and made sure we were still able to get what we wanted. the food was great, my only dislike was the refried beans, just not quite to my taste. the salsa and chips taste amazing, unlike any chips I've had at a restaurant before. frozen strawberry margarona is DELICIOUS. we will be back to try more of the menu!

My husband and I went there and it was super busy. We waited over 20 minutes for a server to come to us, they did not come. I asked a other waiter to bring us drinks because I have not seen a waiter in 20 minutes, she told me she would bring then. She did not bring them. This is my favorite place to eat at. It was a very disappointing moment to know that they helped every table around me and my husband and they didn't help us. We got up and left.

Feels like an authentic Mexican food place. Great food with lots of traditional favorites. Live music on Saturdays, and Mariachis on Sunday.

Entrees was decent and the wait staff was excellent, however the chips, salsa, and guacamole were mediocre at best.

I was met some friends and ran late. They were already served. The waitress quickly took my order and the food was out quickly. Very tasty. Great experience!

I accidentally placed an order online and didn't put the correct location. When I tried to call and cancel the order they just hung up on me and then wouldn't answer the phone after that! 🤬🤬

Nice clean restaurant, and that’s about all I can say as a far as compliments go. Me and two others ordered. One friend said the seafood chimichangas was delicious but a smaller portion than he would have liked. My other friend said his fiesta enchiladas were plain but no other complaints. Me personally, I LOVE birria, but the Birria Burrito I ordered was sadly very disgusting. Completely ruined birria for me. Extremely salty. Consumé thick as gravy….just very unauthentic. Prolly won’t go back even though I’m a lifelong resident and plan to continue be a resident.

Stopped in early, 1030a, to grab a pregame meal and some adult beverages prior to the Husker game. The bartender was exceptionally friendly, letting us have a drink prior to actually being ready to serve. The bar had TVs to watch early games, the chips and salsa really hit the spot, and the entrees we had were delicious. Is this the best Mexican food I've ever had... Nope! Is this place worth visiting and having a well prepared meal with extra friendly service? 1000% yes!! We frequent this establishment nearly every time we come into town for a football game and have never been disappointed.
