“I have lived in the southwest; and Copals restaurant is "hands down" the best Mexican restaurant I have found in the Midwest!“

“My wife and I were in town for the "Beyond Van Gogh" exhibit at the Mid-America Center. Afterward, we looked up restaurants near us and chose La Sierra because several reviews mentioned authentic cuisine. We were not misled. The menu is small and straight forward. Pick your fillings and choose it in either a gordita, burrito, quesadilla or on a plate. We both got selections as gorditas. My wife ordered: Asado De Puerco, Picadillo Verde and Picadillo Rojo. I ordered: Papas Con Carne, Papas Con Chorizo and Deshabrada. I also wound up getting a burrito with Machaca. All the meats were seasoned nicely and delicious. Both the verde and rojo salsas they brought out enhanced the food. The rojo does have a kick (same sauce as in the Desshbrada) but the heat didn't linger so eating it was enjoyable. The margarita I ordered was delicious, made with real lime juice. Some people might complain because it is regular sized, served in a glass roughly the size of a martini glass. It isn't a gigantic gimmick you find in a lot of American-Mexican restaurants. It hit the spot! The fruit empanadas were lovely, the crust similar to a sugar cookie with strawberry or apricot. We tried both and thought the apricot won by a hair. Its sweet flavor was slightly stronger than the strawberry. The service was excellent, both our server and the gentleman from the kitchen (maybe owner) who brought out food to the table were extremely friendly and a pleasure to speak with. We've marked La Sierra in our "must do again" list and when we care back in Omaha, we will be stopping in.“

“The flavors are amazing. The service is top-notch. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Will return again and again. Javier - it’s simply wonderful!“

“Gotta give a shout out to the crew last night. This restaurant was amazing. 1st time trying it. They were so accommodating. We had a group of 16 people for graduation dinner. They worked so hard to seat us all together. They were such a friendly group. They let us all sit at the bar while we waited on our table. It was a wonderful experience dining here. We will be back.“

“Amazing food that’s affordable, great service, and a cozy atmosphere!“

“One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Omaha. Glad they have a Millard location. Always so good.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ El Churro is AMAZING! The food is made fresh and full of flavor. I had the asada street tacos and my husband got the asada torta—both were hands down the best authentic Mexican food we’ve had in Omaha! Don’t sleep on this little spot, it’s a hidden gem. Y’all really outdid yourselves! 🌮🥪🔥“

“Love it! The food was amazing!“

“Charly was our waiter and he was absolutely phenomenal! He talked to our 1 year old like she was his own family. My family loves this place!!“

“Excellent dining experience!“

“Me encantó recomendado 100%“

“I visited the Elkhorn location today, WOW! Everything was absolutely delicious! The staff was knowledgeable and helpful and the taco salad is the best I’ve ever had, and the queso is out of this world! Can’t wait to go back! Thanks Javi’s!“

“We will be back . Food was amazing“

“Amazing food that’s affordable, great service, and a cozy atmosphere!“

“It is a local hole in the wall, not flashy. They invest in the food and the staff. And you can tell the locals love this place.

The portions are large... i didn't finish my torta and that doesn't happen often. The meat selection is amazing. The staff is friendly.“

“A friend came across this restaurant from a YouTuber and I decided to give it a try and man was it worth it! I had the menudo and 1 taco de azada. The menudo was rich in flavor the tripe was perfectly cooked and not super rubbery it hit home for me , it also comes with home made tortillas on the side. The beef taco itself had great flavor with a good balance of spices and seasonings, the beef was perfectly cooked as well it is on the larger size. If you are in the Omaha area or on a road trip and happen to pass by give this place a try you won’t regret it! Worth the small detour!“

“Went and tried out the new El Milagro Mexican Bar & Grill 🤩 yesterday & it did NOT disappoint! Highly recommend! The atmosphere was amazing, relaxing, music perfect, service ON POINT👌! Food-perfection🤌 We hung out for hours & the server, Daniella, continued to help us throughout the evening! They make fresh guac in front of you & have amazing dessert! While I *love* Javi's, this was definitly a better place to relax and hang out for hours! Highly recommend you check them out!“

“We love the margaritas. All made with fresh ingredients. The chef understands Celiac disease and is able to make my meals gluten free. I haven't had good luck finding Mexican restaurants that can make food that is safe for Celiac. Have eaten here many times without a problem.“

“The best tamales in Omaha! Always a treat when I have to make a run for the border! AAA+“

“Love their food and service is always fast.“

“So good. Cannot celebrate this place enough! Delicious food at a reasonable price, friendly staff, and a cute interior! They have a salsa tray they bring to your table before the food with so many different types that are so tasty and the food itself is hot and fresh! Plenty of vegetarian options, which I was really happy about! One of the main reasons I go to Omaha!“

“Great food every time and friendly customer service.“

“We got the pizza birria and it didn't disappoint. The flavor is outstanding and with the birria sauce it was amazing! We also got a burrito which to no surprise was also phenomenal. The ladies were very nice and took a short amount of time to make our food. To anyone considering this place, definitely check out this hidden gem.“

“Amazing food, hearty Mexican street tacos, burritos and enchiladas“

“This spot is amazing from food to cocktails!! Best homemade spicy salsa I've ever had... Definitely a must try“

“Really great place to eat, the food is really good, there was quite awhile for a wait but as soon as we got a table they waited on us very quickly. If it's 4 or less on a group, the wait won't be as long, but we had 6. Definitely will go again!“

“Pretty good nice little spot. Authentic as far as I can tell and they have American food selection if you're not feeling adventurous.
For me, I think the food was average but not bad. Though the chips and salsa I really liked, I could tell the cilantro was fresh and it had a more earthy flavor that other salsas don't. Note: I was a bit sick from allergies so my taste buds could be off on this visit.
It's not something that blew my mind but good Authentic Mexican.
I'd come here again to try some more, especially since it's in a convenient location.“

“Love their food and service is always fast.“

“super delicioso auténtica comida mexicana“

“I had the brisket, pork, fish and steak tacos… they were all amazing!“

“I moved to Tennessee 24 years ago and the GI forum is my first stop every time I come back. I have been eating there for almost 50 years and I crave it. For those who consider this”Tex-Mex”!or not authentic Mexican food, I invite you to Tennessee where every “Mexican” restaurant is the same. Different names, but same tasting food. I guess what I am saying is you don’t know what you’ve got until you can’t get it. So, for this loyal customer, I consider this the best Mexican food ever. I try to recreate it at home and always take back frozen enchiladas, burritos, and even tacos, which I think would be part of my last meal!! Thanks, GI Forum for all the great food and memories during the last half century. Please stay open! And, if possible, I would really like to know what you season your ground beef with and how to make your hot sauce. Please????“

“Delicious food! Fast service and friendly people!“

“Delicious, authentic Salvadoran and Mexican food. So worth the visit!“

“I am Originally from Omaha,,,, back then we did not have taco trucks not many Hispanics,,, this place has great food, highlyrecommended,,, I now live in Southwest Kansas and I've been back to Omaha a handful of time and always stop here.“

“Love this place! Great service and food!“

“5 stars for no other reason than they don’t “surcharge” their customers for paying via CC. They have transparent menu pricing, and if you want to pay with cash they will give you a 4% discount. This is how it should be done. Kudos to you, Hectors!“

“I had the honor of winning free lunch this last week and let me tell you, I’ll definitely be back! The staff was delightful. The food was so good and super fast service! AND THE MARGS! 🤤🤤 ALMOST too pretty to drink.. almost. 10/10!“

“Fernando’s 2022 Best of Omaha Chimichanga and margaritas are just that-The best! Their chips are also the best in my book. Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. The tacos, tamales, guacamole and pico are top notch as well! Love this place!“

“This is a nice addition to the Southwest Omaha restaurant scene. Not fancy, but good authentic Mexican food. The menu is bilingual.“

“The food was fantastic -- outstanding grilled fish, shrimp and tacos. Well worth a visit. And ask for Maggie -- a terrific server who made dinner even more enjoyable!“

“Yes I'd recommend 1000000000000x on this place, wonderful atmosphere and great customer service! Shrimp tacos are out of world literally I mean it and plus some of delicious margarita to try with tacos. I'll be right back for another one!“

“Great service, food and atmosphere!“

“I have been going to Howard’s since I was a child and it was on 24th street. Food has always been good, however their prices have gotten out of control!!! I always have the enchiladas and bean tostada. The last time I had dinner there they are charging $4.99 for a BEAN tostada, and sadly this time the beans were very bland. The small enchilada is now up to $4.99 as well!! I was very sad to see such high prices for a place that use to be reasonably priced.“

“Great atmosphere with delicious food!“

“This place has the BEST food I have ever had. It’s so flavorful and delicious!!!!! Definitely recommend checking out their facebook page to view pictures of the items they offer and specials. The owners are so kind and hardworking. They really put a lot of love in their meals. If you don’t know what to get, stop by and ask. They take the time to tell you what each item has.“

“Been coming to Romeos almost 20 years. Never been disappointed. It's a family ordeal. We love it
