    Very consistent, good Mexican food. Hot sauce is poppin! We have been going here since they were located at oak view mall and have tried most of the menu and have not been disappointed

    Queso taco with carne asada in corn shell
    Dee O.

    Six months ago, I discovered El Alambre and raved about their Carne Asada burritos. Those are still excellent ....but now I can't get enough of their tamales and queso tacos with carne asada! Their tamales and tacos are really moist and full of meat and flavor.

    Birria tacos, rice/beans, horchata
    Kelsey S.

    The best tacos in West O- hands down. Tonight I ordered the birria tacos, a side of rice/beans, and a horchata. My tacos were absolutely LOADED with meat- so juicy and flavorful. They also double the corn tortillas which helps keep them together when ordering takeout. The rice and beans are pretty standard and round out the meal well. Both salsas are incredible and the spice level on the red adds a nice level of heat. Cooled it down with a fresh, cold horchata at the end. Overall I spent ~$15 (with the $3 horchata) and felt like this was a good value for the quality of food. I always order takeout and have yet to dine in. Ordering online is quick and easy, and my order is always ready on time (typically faster than expected). The service is very friendly. I encourage you to try them out before some of the larger name Mexican restaurants in the area

    Five stars all around the food was amazing some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. I got the marinated chicken over chilaquiles and it was delicious and spicy. I personally love hot sauce and my dish was so spicy that I did not need extra sauce which is a rare thing for me. So if you like heat it is a must try. My husband had the marinated pork burrito and he ate the whole thing with a little bite for me!! We will definitely be back. The restaurant is very small with only two tables and a little bit of counter seating. We did opt to eat there which was fine for us since there were only two of us. The men working at the restaurant were very nice. We mentioned it was our first time and he really walked us through the options and made great suggestions!

    Another place I drive past weekly, if not daily. Decided to check it out and was not disappointed! Ordered the alambres, with side order of 1/2 arroz 1/2 frijoles. So much food! The alambres was amazing. Sauteed steak, bacon, chorizo, bell pepper, onion and cheese. Served with street taco sized corn tortillas. I prefer the frijoles over the arroz here (normally I prefer the rice over beans at most places), but the mix of the beans and rice was delicious.

    Pollo adobado tacos

    The Mexican food in West Omaha is bleh at best. The local not-to-be-named chain that everyone tells you you've got to try when moving to Omaha just doesn't cut it. It's average at best. There are a couple we enjoy (e.g., El Vallarta) but as far as authentic Mexican food, I'd not found it out here. So, I was excited to give El Alambre a try in this location at 168th and Harrison. And, let me tell you, it's good. I've only been a couple of times and can only speak to the options I've tried. I've had the chicken and chicken adobado tacos and they are both great, though I prefer the adobado. Plenty of meat, two fresh corn tortillas, cilantro, onion, and guac. So good. I had a tamale the other day and it was very good, too. I prefer a thicker masa with my tamale and this one fits that bill. I went back for more a few days later but they were sold out or didn't have them ready yet? So, it may be hit or miss with tamales on availability. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. The location itself is fairly small, a few tables, some counter seating and not much else. So, for me during COVID times takeout is the way to go. But, I definitely plan to add this to my rotation of lunch/dinner options when looking for Mexican food. It's great.

I loved the colorful paper banners and the paintings. We went at about 5 pm on a Saturday and were seated quickly. By 6:30 when we left, it was starting to fill in and there were a couple big parties so we left at the right time. The menu was pretty extensive, lots of different offerings. We were given complimentary chips and salsa, then our waitress offered more but didn't tell us it was $2 for a refill. Not a huge price, but we weren't told it was extra. I got a frozen classic margarita and my husband got a classic on the rocks. One and done! It was strong, your basic pre-mix flavor, and I loved the glasses! There was another drink on the menu called a cantarita (similar to a Paloma), which I can't wait to try sometime. I ordered the birria tacos and they were so good! The shell had a light crunch, the cheese was perfectly proportioned and melted, the meat was tender and flavorful, and the broth had the perfect amount of season, onion, and cilantro without being too overpowering. Everything was SO filling, between the drink, chips and salsa, I had to take one of the tacos to go. The salsa is made in house from fresh ingredients but the chips and tortillas aren't. She said they get the dough and it's cut up prior to making the tacos. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful, but the service was a little slow even though it wasn't too busy most of the time we were there. We didn't mind because we had time, but something to consider if you're in a hurry. Authenticity was 6/10 based on the overall vibes, music, taste of the food, but it was a bummer the tortillas weren't fresh made and the margarita was pre-mix.

The service was fantastic, and it felt like a true family restaurant. The chips were so good, and the salsa was spicy but not too much for people with sensitive palates. I love this style of chips, not a thin restaurant style but a thicker, more savory bite. We went through one portion before our food got to us and they brought more out when I asked. I highly recommend the tacos. I made a mistake and asked for birria not quesabirria tacos, so make sure to specify that if you want quesabirria (with cheese). But, the birria was good anyways! I also got the taco macho (see the pic for what's inside), and wish I would've ordered 2 of those! My husband got the huitlacoche and squash blossom tacos and they were both so good. I was so impressed they had huitlacoche as an option, I've never seen that before! The drinks were ordered and delivered from the server, but she said since they're working on a liquor license they have a bar next door that makes them. If you order a drink with your food, they charge for the drinks and food separate for that reason. I liked my jalapeño margarita! My husband got a cantarito and said it's the best one he's had from all the places we've tried to far!

The streetcar boondoggle is not affecting their block so parking is available. Decor is calming. I did not opt for an adult beverage as they were a bit pricey and I needed to retain focus.

Would definitely return if in the area, but for now I am generally avoiding streetcar construction chaos. If you are downtown anyway, go.
