Best birria tacos in Omaha. Go there all the time. Great service! Closed on Sundays though

Love this place. The food is always delicious and the queso tacos are the go to. They have amazing tamales as well. Haven't had a bad meal yet, definitely a must try. read more

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 read more

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. read more

El Alambre Mexican Restaurant - Millard - Queso taco with carne asada in corn shell - Mexican Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Service was great! The food, not so much. I ordered from here based off a quick glance at the rating of 4.8. The rice was bland, the lengua tacos were VERY questionable! The chicken tacos were dry and flavorless. I won't be ordering from here in the future. read more

Nice find for Mexican food takeout. They do have a few tables to eat in, but it encourages you to take home.

Wanted to try this place because I love Tex-Mex burritos. Was definitely okay but loaded with a lot of other things besides carne asada - and you only get two hot sauces. I'll probably just stick with the other burrito joints around here. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The food here is outstanding and the prices are very reasonable. Tonight we had tamales, carnitas quesadilla, and nachos asada. All were delicious! And they're very fast turning around to-go orders. Highly recommended. read more

I travel for work and eat a ton of Mexican food! This is by far the best steak taco I have ever had. Their burritos are also great and huge!

Meat was dry, rice was dry, beans were okay. The tortillas were kind of stale. The service was great.

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. read more

El Alambre Mexican Restaurant - Millard - Pollo adobado tacos - Mexican Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I'm rarely in this neighborhood, but stopped by today for chicken burrito takeout. Very tasty and good sized. Will try other things when the next opportunity arises. If you don't know where you are going it's not easy to find -- tucked away in the northeast corner of 168th and Harrison with no simple access. Exit to Harrison St. eastbound is problematic. read more

I've been meaning to go to this place for months and finally one night we just decided to go for it! So glad we did. Many people on the Omaha food lovers page were commenting that this was some of the most authentic Mexican food in West Omaha and the majority doesn't doesn't lie. The prices, even, were extremely affordable. We spent just a little under $50 for a family of six (2 adults and 4 kids) and I kid you not, we had enough leftovers for two more additional meals. We ordered carne asada nachos, carnitas burrito, Carne Asada burrito, chorizo platter, Birria bowl and Carne Asada platter. The nachos alone were shared by three of my kids. Everything was loaded and the meat was generous. Our only regret was waiting so long. We will definitely be back! read more

El Alambre Mexican Restaurant - Millard - Carne Asada Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is easily the best Mexican food we've had since moving here eight months ago. However, the plastic cutlery was so thin, using it was annoying, so I had to reduce my five stars to four. I'll take my Swiss Army knife with me next time. read more

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 read more

The burritos are so good! Everything we've gotten from here is delicious and authentic.

The street tacos and churros are so good. I always get the tongue ones with no guac. If you like guac I'm sure it would be good still. Quick service tasty food. Not much more you can ask read more

Best Mexican food I've ever eaten. Me and my family have been coming here since it opened and it's been the best food I've eaten. Prices are very cheap to for the amount of quality you get. Have to try and check out if you are a local or are coming to visit. read more

Meh. Searched Yelp for a good place to grab lunch. Stumbled across this place based on the reviews. Tried the Asada fries, grilled chicken nachos and three tacos with guacamole. The nachos were made with what I refer to as liquid cheese (like the kinda cheese that comes out of a tin can) minus one star for that. I prefer shredded cheese on my nachos it shows some effort. The nachos were okay. Nothing to write home about. You get a decent sized portion plenty of jalapeños and chips. Not so much when it comes to toppings (meat, salads, etc). Each meal comes with a green and red sauce. I tried both. Ted sauce has a nice spicy kick to it. And the green sauce has good flavor. The tacos were okay and the Asada fries were just okay as well. read more

I am so happy that they opened up a restaurant outside of the mall . Now I won't have to deal with going in there just to eat at this establishment. Tiny place but they don't really need much room , very clean and decorated nicely . You order food at the counter and if you eat in they will bring it out to you . The gentlemen behind the counter was super nice and I have seen him working at the mall location also . Told him I was proud of them that they opened up a new place , he was appreciative. Orders the Alambre which is my favorite , Asada , bacon , chorizo with green peppers onions and cheese . Comes with tortillas . I always ask for one green and one hot for the sauce and mix them together. So very good ! Will be back ! read more

I went for the birria and got the Alambre which is close to a fajita but not on the sizzling hot skillet. It comes with a bunch of small corn tortillas and it's dynamite!! We also got a chicken burrito - huge and fantastic!! It's small and local. read more

I would eat my left arm if these guys cooked it for me. 100% legit Mexican. Pick anything it's all amazing read more

I'm gonna admit that since moving out west, I've had pretty low expectations when it comes to finding a good Mexican spot. So when we walked in I was ready to be unimpressed, hopeful that it wasn't going to be horrible but not expecting much. Man, was I ever wrong. This place is gonna be my go to spot. We ordered a Chilaquiles plate, a sope and a taco with a side of rice and beans, and 2 Churros. The first bite took me surprise, I thought "Am I just hungry, so everything taste good?" So I took another bite. Nope. It was that good. It was actually so good I didn't want to put any hot sauce on it because I didn't want to ruin the flavor. With every bite you could taste the flavor of the meat, the food was hot and fresh and delicious. The sope and taco followed suit with flavor. I could go on and on but the best word to describe it was flavorlishous. Go visit this place. It's worth it. I will be back, probably more than I should be because I'm suppose to be working on my summer bod. read more

The carne asada burrito is SO good! Also love the green salsa! Call in is simple and pick up is quick!

My husband orders from here 2-3 times a week. Glad he has found the restaurant built for his lunch time read more

Only did takeout one time, but my meal was fantastic and the order was ready when promised. I got some chlliquilles and will be back. They were top shelf. read more

How wonderful to have authentic street tacos in West Omaha! I enjoyed the tongue, carnita and steak tacos. I'm not even sure which was my favorite because I enjoyed all of them. I didn't care for the queso unfortunately. I'll stick to the tacos next time!! read more

This place is a local goldmine! Fantastic Food!!! I have never been disappointed in anything that I have ever ordered! I get take out from here at least twice a week and being on Keto based nutrition, they have a plate called Alambres that is fantastic (I don't get the tortillas)!! Locally owned and always friendly! read more

Great prices and fabulous food. Food was hot and delicious. Service was good. I would go there again!

Stopped in here on Boxing Day, as a little change of pace from holiday mealtime seemed like a good idea. Throwing out out usual "try things" method, we both ordered the Alambres. They were very good, and kind of made me think of a south-of-the-border version of a Philly cheesesteak, where you construct the dish in the small flour tortillas served warm alongside the dish. The restaurant interior is small and has very limited dine-in options, but it's apparent that takeaway is the bulk of their business. I hope to come back soon and try some of the other menu offerings. read more

Great Authentic Mexican Food! I love Mexican food, basically my favorite food, this place nails it, I search and search Omaha for the best spot and this place was a pleasant surprise. The service was great, the food was flavorful and of good quality. Only reason for the 4/5 was because Taco's El Gordo is what I consider 5/5 and that was in San Diego's.. No disrespect to El Alambre! Loved it will be back! Best in West O by FAR! read more

If you are looking for Authentic Mexican Food this is not the place. Fast and sloppy !!! It would've been a different experience if the the place was clean and friend but that was not the case. They were short and unwilling to provide service almost to the point were you feel disrespected. read more

As a Texan, I'd say there Mexican food is just ok. But for Omaha it's really very good.

Great food! Welcoming staff when we walked in. Very clean tables. Bathroom was clean. I loved the nachos.

We have had El Alambre's food at the mall before, but didn't realize they operated another location. Fantastic, reasonably priced, made-with-love food. If you are in SW Omaha, you cannot find better Mexican food. read more
