I would also recommend agua de horchata, it's really good and goes perfectly with the tacos. The food and flavor are consistent, and it is one of those spots I know I can count on. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Went here for taco Tuesday and it happened to be Cinco De Mayo! Was super packed inside considering…read moreit being a holiday and Taco Tuesday. Luckily I was able to get seated and a waiter took my order shortly after. I ordered a birria quesataco, 3 tacos, and a horchata. Overall, everything was super delicious! The birria taco was well seasoned as well my 3 other tacos. I'll definitely be coming back here!

This might be my favorite Mexican restaurant in Omaha at the moment. I've been in a couple of times…read morenow and I look forward to going back to try more. I have to be honest, I've only had tacos. I always start with tacos anywhere I go to see if they do those well. My general thought is that if they can't do tacos well, they probably aren't doing other things well. Unreliable and unscientific, to be sure, but it's my process. I can safely report that El Alteño does tacos right. The chorizo tacos were excellent, as were the chicken tacos. Seasoned to perfection and the chicken is so juicy and tender. The tacos come with onions and cilantro. And if you like your tacos with a dollop of guacamole, you won't get it here. But don't worry, they bring you an avocado salsa that will knock your socks off. All their salsas are solid. The service is good and it's been pretty efficient in my visits. They have an extensive menu that I hope to start exploring next time. Then again, the tacos are so good, why get anything else?

Incredible birria here! I heard they had amazing birria so this had to be my next spot to try. I…read morecame for a pick up order on cinco de mayo, I ordered birria tacos and my husband got 3 street tacos (carne asada, cachete-cheek, and chicken). The ordering process was super simple from instagram! Their ordering page is linked to their IG page. A few clicks and I was set! They had the order ready in less than 15 minutes and the text alert system was great. I walked in and they had the order ready to go. It seemed like a smooth system, efficient and accurate. There were a ton of to go orders ready and the woman working was on the phone and still helped me. Super great service! Good price too, $25 for 3 birria and 3 street tacos seems like value in this economy! Flavor wise, some of the best birria I've tried! The consommé was savory, had tons of onion and cilantro, and came with a side of radish and lime. The meat was rich and moist without much fat, and the cheese was melty and there was plenty of it! We'll be back for sure. They don't have alcoholic drinks but there's plenty of aguas frescas and horchata. The desserts looked really good and I wish I would've picked up some fresas con crema or choco flan.

The food is still delicious, and we recommend anything with chicken for your first visit, as it is the house specialty. Also of note: the horchata, which is made from scratch in the kitchen. Delicious!

The menu is full of classic and traditional Mexican cuisine. I tried the pollo Puebla and it was pretty good! Thick, juicy chicken covered in fresh veggies. The beans were good, the rice was decent. They have a good selection of drinks too, for a very reasonable price. They have a good happy hour too (Tues-thurs, 3-7PM). The margaritas looked really good. I liked the wide open seating and the beautiful bar. They had a sweet stage and DJ booth too

The flautas were so crispy and not covered in sauce (I don't understand why places do that) and the rice and beans were just how I like them. The little salsas they gave me were vastly different from each other. I devoured the one with the radish. Everything was packaged well and hot. I'm pumped to try this place again.

I had a hard friendly chicken enchilada, and they took chicken tortilla, wrapped it up. Put some cheese on it and nuke it to the point where the cheese was just crust embedded in the plate. There was no flavor no lettuce, no tomato no sauce nothing it was just awful. Another person in our group had a face heater salad which looked pretty good but she said it was horrible. She didn't even eat it. It was just sad and it's expensive for one plain chicken enchilada. It was 12 bucks and that's ridiculous. I mean there's no rice no beans no nothing.

Abelardo's forgot that customers are a gift. I can't recommend anyone eat there anymore. The reason…read morefor that is I pulled up in drive-through and ordered a #3 with no beans and no lettuce and 4 fried beef tacos with no lettuce and extra cheese. I paid over $30.00 and the order was completely wrong. I got home and took the time to call, and at first I was told if you come back I will refund you and remake your food. That was a bait and switch. I had to waste another 20 minutes of my time driving back expecting to be refunded due to their error and have my order made correctly. They did remake my food but the enchiladas were small and skinny and the tacos the beef was burnt and I was not refunded. So I wasted an hour of my time and 30 dollars of my hard-earned money. It's one thing to mess up someone's order and promise to fix it but when they get there you don't honor what you say on the phone. Again save your money and time, don't eat there. There are other Mexican restaurants who will be glad to serve you.

I can't help but roll my eyes when people talk about "authentic" Mexican food or lack thereof in…read moreOmaha. Family-run taquerias are owned and operated by folks who often feature family recipes passed on by grandparents and other relatives who came from Mexico and beyond. You'll find familia in the kitchen. If that doesn't make it authentic, I guess I don't know what authentic means. That being said, Big Bro and I tried Los Portales recently. We were underwhelmed by the flavors until we put on the sauces. Sauces are a perfect example of differences in preference, not authenticity. The ones at Los Portales were thinner than what I prefer, but the flavors were just what was needed. What one person likes, another doesn't. The presentations were beautiful and the portions were large. I had a gordita which I expected to love but didn't. The thick house made tortilla was tasty, but I discovered I like crispy better. We devoured the guac and chips, delicious. Big Bro ordered his go-to for Mexican restaurants, chimichanga but it was just ok. Adding sauce made it more flavorful. Many people prefer the food at Los Portales and call it authentic. I also call it authentic, but prefer other recipes.
