“First timer and definitely will return. The place is very welcoming, lots of color, friendly staff, it had a good vibe.

I was in the hunt for tacos and they did not let me down. Corn tortillas piled high with steak, cilantro, and onions, full of flavor, and not greasy.

Tostadas were good as well. Topped with ground beef, lettuce, cream cheese, and avocado. The tostado held up and didn’t break. The ground beef was a bit greasy but really good flavor.

Tamale filled with well flavored chicken was also delicious. I was told the chicken was a little spicy by my wife, she doesn’t like heat. **speaking of heat** the green was surprisingly hot (I like hot) the orange sauce was even hotter. But both are great sauces.

Lots of fruit cups, elote, chips, cake, and ice cream.

Parking: Limited number of spaces and tight quarters, I parked at the church to the east.

Kid-friendliness: There were two families inside and the kids looked happy.“

“Drinks and food was amazing. Definitely take pride in how the food is cooked and presentation. The server was so nice and funny. I really liked it here and it will be our new go to. I had the chili releno and husband had ememadas. Chips were fresh salsa good. No complaints the place is adorable and clean.“

“Dominic and Courtney provided amazing customer service and the food was great as always. I will always drive out of my way to this location because of the excellent customer service. I wanted to try something new and Dominic described the items and was very helpful and I ended up getting some thing new and spent about double what I would normally spend. I bought too much food, good thing I like left overs! At another location the staff didn't have Dominic's great attitude and they came off sounding bothered by answering my questions when ordering in the Drive Thru.“

“I ordered take out, very quick delivery, The food was amazing!! My husband will not quit talking about how wonderful and authentic it was. Definitely ordering again and again!!“

“Went through the drive thru tonight at about 9pm and the lady(wish I would have paid attention to her name tag)who took our order and worked the window had the most amazing customer service and gave the most friendly, genuinely happy smile!!! Too many people are quick to write a negative review and too few don’t take the take out to give a warm fuzzy and comment excellent customer service! This beautiful soul deserves the recognition and a pat on the back for being a ray of sunshine!!!“

“Great food all the time. I have never been disappointed at any of their locations“

“Taqueria El Rey is a great mom and pop Mexican restaurant. The food seems authentic, tastes delicious, and it was plentiful at a good price. I'm a nerdy caucasian guy but I felt welcomed and well served by the staff. The restaurant itself is small and basic but it's clean and well maintained. 4.5/5 stars, highly recommend!“

“Absolute diamond in the rough. Been there a few times and it's always so good. The people serving are always friendly and have great recommendations. I get their chilaquiles and they are always on par. It's a hidden gem located in the gateway mall“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! I had the combination plate and it was some of the best Mexican I've had in Lincoln. Highly recommend.“

“One of the worst Mexican restaurants I have ever been to Drinks where really small and the food was worse then Taco Bell wouldn’t go back if I had free meal tickets“

“Doordashed me some food. They didn't screw my order up at all, they didn't jip me on food, they gave me exactly what i paid for. I respect you for this and the food was amazing. If you're afraid of how big the BURRITO GRANDA or California burrito is don't worry it's huge. I'm a big guy and could only finish the grande. They send 2 cups of green salsa and 2 cups of orange spicier salsa for your burritos. 100% recommend this restaurant and kudos to the cook you're excellent at what you do.“

“If you lucky enough to jave ms kelbee make your food, you are gonna love it!! She makes your meals extra special

Kid-friendliness: All kids love the place. Who dont? Its tacos!!“

“Love the crisp meat burritos! The staff is super nice and helpful here. Price is pretty reasonable! I like how clean the restaurant was! We had a lady come out and check on us when we were eating and she asked us if we wanted any crispitos and we said yes! She brought some fresh ones out to us! Will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family! Will be returning myself when I come back home to Nebraska to visit!“

“My wife and I ate st Ticos on Saturday in the middle of the afternoon. A fair number of cars were in the parking lot when we arrived. Not surprising as Ticos is by far our favorite Mexican restaurant. My wife ordered a deluxe burrito and I the 4 item combination plate. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious, as always! But, the main reason I am writing this review, is because of our waitress named Donna. She was outstanding and was taking care of our table but 5 or 6 others as well. She checked on us several times throughout our meal and refilled our drinks as needed. In addition to serving and checking on the customers at her assigned tables, she grabbed a tub and started bussing tables as well. I know that today help is hard to find, but good help is even tougher. Donna did an outstanding job and certainly deserves to be recognized for her going above and beyond. Thank you Ticos for delicious food, but especially thank you Donna, for providing excellent service!“

“The best! Where to begin… the staff!! They are the best, friendliest ever! The food is second to none! And the margaritas, are the best in, not only Lincoln, but anywhere close to here! We have been going for years and will continue!!“

“A few times a week I take a smoothy up to my 88 year old mom to the care home. They make sure it's thick and fresh for her as it has a ways to go. She loves them and sometimes that's the only thing she will eat all day. Thanks, Amigos!

Parking: I usually just drive thru.

Kid-friendliness: My kids like the cheesy burritos“

“Great food all the time. I have never been disappointed at any of their locations“

“This place has gotten old yet still has really good staple Mexican food. Meaning that I can eat this s*** every day no problem. The price is not that bad, and the food is that good. If you enjoy good tacos this is the place for you. They also have a pretty decent breakfast menu, served all day I believe.“

“Love my Shrimp and Crab burrito! love my D'Leon's!!“

“Great time with my daughter and grandchildren.“

“All the employees I saw or encountered were fantastic. And this was all while they were almost certainly under their biggest stress load of the week, as this visit was during lunch hour, on Taco Tuesday.
They were all working very hard and diligently, doing their best to keep up with big rush, and still were pleasant and had friendly smiles on their faces when eye contact was made.

Also, everything was clean and in order, while the space, as a whole, was spacious and comfortable.

This location very generously provides free chips for customers who dine in.“

“With such a huge array of menu options I picked the two burrito meal on my first visit and I was definitely surprised. The two burritos were freaking big and delicious. I took a burrito and half of the rice and beans back to my hotel for dinner. That's $14 well spent. That's $7 a meal and that's unheard of unless you order from a value menu somewhere. But I guarantee that you won't get this much food and flavor for $14 anywhere.
I might also add that they have a little salsa bar. The avocado salsa has fantastic flavor and a nice heat.
My second visit was through the drive through and got the steak and shrimp Diablo burrito. ($12 and worth every penny) Freaking delicious!!!! I still added the avocado salsa to it for the extra heat kick.
Great food, great prices, great customer service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“The best food truck in town! Absolutely lovely owner, fantastic and flavorful food. There’s a wide variety, and the prices are beyond reasonable. My mom and I eat here all the time, definitely one of the best places in all of Lincoln, and again, the owner is just the kindest man! I recommend the chicken, kufta kabob, or gyro.“

“Great food all the time. I have never been disappointed at any of their locations“

“This Amigos is my neighborhood drive-thru coffee shop. I come here for breakfast and coffee before work. Maria and Abraham are always friendly and they remember their customers. I get a latte that doesn't cost a fortune and a breakfast sandwich that's fresh and cooked perfectly. Five stars for sure.“

“we had ordered sw chicken salad an new employee messed it up. manager went right to correcting it!! Great manager!!! next food perfect. thank you so much for your quick fix!!! Love Amigos!!! Love AirPark!!!! We are native Lincolnites who retired in Ozarks. Always eat at Amigos when we are here. David Reed.“

“Ngl the chicken and steak from the downtown one taste like absolute rubber it dont even taste like real food but the one on o st by the mall kinda good I think it’s because of the old guy in the back that cooks for them in the morning I’d lowkey give him a “
