“the burrito is nasty I've ate dog meat in Mexico that is better than this“

“We stopped in here with a party bus and they did and amazing job serving us all! The two guys they had play outside on the patio was seriously awesome! Their food looks so yummy and they are served out of cute "dog bowls" but didn't get the chance to eat there but we will be returning!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great food every time and friendly customer service.“

“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!“

“Excellent service! I was so impressed with the decor inside but the plating was exceptional! My tostada looked like a giant taco! I got some great pics of your place on my Facebook and Instagram @gretchenlynn #gigidoll_79“

“Very friendly service and Max takes pride in everything that comes from his kitchen. Ask Deb for the Julie Skinny margarita and you will not be disappointed.“

“Best location and service! I eat here no less then once a week. 14, 7, and 17 are the best. and chick tocas also delicious!“

“Jen Ryan, the manager, works very hard and I notice this every time I eat there. She has a lot of personality and is very kind to her customers and the associates that Jen works with. It's a joy to dine at Amigo's, especially when Jenn is there. She works her butt off. ( I'm no relatives of Jenns or personal friend. Only know her by dining @ Amigos. Thank you.“

“Food was awesome, per usual, as was service! We got nachos, taquitos, and margaritas and they were delicious. We are from AZ so we are picky on mexican food and we love their food. Jay J. was our server and was the best server we've had in years. We had our two littles with us and they tend to make things chaotic, but he was so patient and over the top kind. He also was so attentive, it felt like we had our own personal server. He made our night and we are so appreciative. We just had the best time, and we will be back! Thank you, Jay!“

“all was good for us tonight“

“Best Qdoba! The food and staff is Amazing! This Qdoba is so clean and is such a great location.“

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

“Doordashed 2 Carne asada burritos meal and 2 beef tacos. Burritos have a good amount of steak, no rice or French fries as a filler and flavor is excellent. The tacos beef is softer than ground beef you'd make at home, easy to easy flavorful and comes with a fair amount cheese sprinkled on top, and lettuce on the side. 2 packets of red sauce for tacos and 2 packets of green sauce for Burritos. Plenty of sauce. 10/10 I'd recommend this place and I'd order again every time I come by.“

“I always get the steak and egg burrito from here. I'm usually pretty satisfied with this chain as a whole but the last two times that I've been there, it wasn't up to par. I had some undercooked potatoes and my girlfriend had some bacon that was very chewy. That's not usually my experience with abelardo's so they still get 4 stars.“

“We had La Cabanita food truck for our daughter and her friends college graduation from Creighton! We had a “street party” on her street with almost 200 people being served. Jesus’ and his family and co-workers were AMAZING! Treated the guest’s fantastically and served the food which was delish and fresh quickly, arrived early, and stayed until everyone had eaten. It was such a fun celebratory day and Jesus’ made it even more special by bringing great food and a great party atmosphere! Can’t say enough great things about this experience. Pricing was fair. Options were plenty. Communication was great. We even had to coordinate with a neighbor to save a spot on the street for the truck so he had to work with them as well to coordinate that move while we were all at graduation and the whole thing went off without a hitch! Whether it’s 20 people or 200 people…. la Cabanita is an amazing option and I would hire them again in a second!!“

“The margaritas were quite tasty.“
