    Fajitas Mixtas
    Jana J.

    This is my first time in here, and it was amazing! The chips and salsa were very fresh, and the fajitas I had were served, smoking, hot, with excellent flavor! These also came with plenty of food-- a side of rice, beans, and several tortillas. I came in with a group who is used to frequent in other local Mexican shops. We all agreed that this was more authentic, and higher scale than what we are used to! The interior as well as all the food we tried seemed much more authentic. The price point is a little higher to reflect this, but I love the quality here! Our server did a great job as well, we had a group of six and he got everyone's orders correct and was very timely. I would definitely return here, and bring a group again!

    I called ahead to check for tables and was welcomed quickly. It's a quaint space with a casual setting. This is authentic Mexican cuisine. I was serviced by Luis who was kind and gave good recommendations. The tortilla chips and tortillas were fresh and guacamole was made to order. I felt like I was eating at a restaurant in Mexico City. We ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce and the chicken and cheese enchiladas with green sauce. Perfect flavor, and fresh ingredients. Order the jamaica and try not to drink it all before your food comes!

    Corn mushroom tacos
    Barbi B.

    Incredible service! The guy running the place was so kind and helpful. I loved the cucumber lime water, it had tajin on the rim which made it so tangy. I got the corn mushroom tacos, which didn't have a ton of flavor other than being spicy. I feel I picked the wrong food item and will maybe choose a meat for the tacos next time. But I'm glad I got to try huitlacoche, as very few places offer that. The decor in the restaurant was colorful and festive. Very cute place, I'll be back!

    Carne Asada Taco
    Ricardo S.

    The carne asada tacos tasted so delicious. I liked the sweet cucumber lime water--it's especially great to drink during a warm day (this day was cool though, since it was back in February!) The waiter was also super kind and accommodating to us, as we has a few questions here and there about the drinks and menu! The ambiance was inviting since the restaurant played Spanish music, so it gave a great vibe that complemented the lunch and conversations! Parking is limited to metered street spots.

    The food was really good. I'm from Los Angeles and I think it was super good Mexican food. I added some beans to the torta so it wouldn't be dry which made it 10x better imo. The decor and setup of the restaurant was really cute and was definitely giving the Aztec, Mexican. Music was great too. Service was alright. We weren't welcomed in but the service wasn't too terrible that it'd make me not want to go again.

    House margaritas
    Garth P.

    A very inviting, clean interior. Staff was very attentive although they seemed short staffed for a Saturday evening with both St Patrick's day revelers and a Broadway show across the street. House margarita was overpriced and the drink menu did not list any prices. Due to the light staffing out meal was delayed. Although the food was excellent the drink issue ($54 for 4 house drinks) and slow service knocked them down from a solid 5 performance.

    Chicken enchilada with salsa verde
    Cassidy J.

    The food and horchata at Mexitili was so good! I tried the chicken enchiladas with the green salsa and I was very impressed! Also some of the better horchata I've had! They give chips and salsa for the table and the salsa has good flavor but it was very thin and the chips were a little stale. I wish they served margaritas!! Service was great and quick. Food also came out very fast! Ambiance was lacking a little but overall good place!

    Amanda R.

    Amazing Mexican food in downtown! If you want a true authentic Mexican food and don't want to go south, this is your place!! The guacamole is sooo good, and I am still thinking about it. The service was super fast and the waitress was very nice. The tacos were delicious, however, if you don't like spice, be aware, they are spicy! Will be coming back here soon!

    Margarita
    Holly P.

    Didn't expect excellent Mexican food in Omaha, but wow this place is 10/10. It came recommended from the staff at Magnolia Hotel. Walked two blocks and had one of the best meals of our whole vacation! Delicious food, margaritas, chips and salsa. Highly recommend!

    Hot Dog

    I'd rather not come back to this spot. I've been here a few times because I live in the area, and everytime it's so underwhelming. The chips that come out with the salsa are so damn hard, and could be considered lethal weapons. The food has been alright, and so has the service in the past, but today was just a big hell no. I came in, and the two at the front (lady probably in her 30s and an older gentleman that was bald and in his 50s maybe) stood behind the counter, and awkwardly stared at me without saying a word. I waved and said hello and got nothing in return. Strike 1. I told them table for 1, and I was told to sit anywhere. I picked a table, and the gentleman came to bring a menu, but looked at me as if I had no business being there before handing me the menu (description of said look: menu behind the back, walked up behind me and looked at me for 3 seconds before handing the menu over and walking off without a word). Strike 2 This may sound crazy, but I was craving a hot dog, and there's an epidemic in Omaha of not being able to go to a place and get a cheap hot dog besides a DQ or Sonic. Well, this one isn't cheap, but screw it, let's see what it's about. It was supposed to be bacon wrapped, but there's no bacon. When I got the food, I walked up to the counter to tell them that it wasn't bacon wrapped, and they said it's IN THE HOTDOG. It did not taste like it at all. I got to the middle of the hotdog, and noticed there was a tiny sliver of bacon wrapped only in the middle, about 1 inch wide of bacon. STRIKE 3. I paid right at the counter so I could get the fuck out as soon as I was done eating and writing this review. I will come back with Meta glasses and make a proper review of this place so you can all see what I'm talking about across multiple platforms. I haven't felt so unwelcomed in a restaurant in so long (more like 6 months).

    Birria tacos and Macho taco.

    Authentic atmosphere and great service. The food was also great. Birria broth was outstanding. Highly recommend the macho taco as it was unique and flavorful. Second time I went they had a fun promo for free tamales and I was given a free slice of dessert bread to try. Conveniently located just outside Old Market.

    I went to dinner with a work colleague. Food - 4 Stars Service - 5 Stars Atmosphere - 3 Stars Over all a good experience. I had the enchiladas and horchata. I ordered my enchiladas with chicken. They were good, but the best part was the horchata. It was very good. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant was busy when we walked in but we didn't have to wait. This is a solid choice if you want Mexican while in downtown Omaha.

    Tacos carne asada and chorizo on homemade tortillas

    **5 stars - Amazing authentic Mexican food!** Stopped here while in town for the World Series game and I'm so glad we did. The food was incredible - so authentic it felt like being at a restaurant in Mexico. I'm picky with Mexican food and this tasted just like my mom's cooking. The staff was great and there was even live music while we ate. The margaritas were delicious too! Honestly surprised it wasn't packed because you can't get more authentic than this. Felt more like eating in someone's home kitchen than a restaurant. Will definitely be back next time we're in town if I don't make it to their brunch before heading back to Texas.

It's super cute inside, with so many bright colors, neat Día de los Muertos murals along the walls, colorful pendants strung on top of the dining area, and a very cool bar with a patterned, arched shelves. Even the dishes and cups are fabulous, with earthenware mugs, blue Talavera style dishes and bowls, and even branded El Milagro margarita glasses. Now more importantly, the FOOD is just as good as the decor and the dishware. They use extra high quality ingredients, and everything is always served hot and fresh. We have had the birria, nachos, street tacos, flautas, and so many other things when we branch out and try something new. Their drink options are also great, with strong margaritas, crisp cervesas, and tasty cocktails. The service is always fantastic, and they are always hopping with customers, so you know you found a good spot. Best of all, you get pretty large portions, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some of the newer Mexican restaurants in town. Next time you're thinking about heading to the Texas Roadhouse area, skip the Roadhouse and try El Milagro instead! I guarantee you will not regret your decision.

However, unlike other Mexican restaurants you do have to pay for additional salsa. I went with a house margarita and the benveza beer, and both were good and cold. I went with the steak picaditas. I hadn't had them before but they were similar to a torta, except the base is a very thick corn tortilla. I like the flavor of the steak, tortilla, sour cream and veggies combined. My husband got the birria platter and liked it. It's very similar to Javi's birria. Overall everything was good.

This last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me!

They have a lot of metallic art so that was pretty cool.

I also got a side of refried beans which I liked a lot because it also seemed to be cooked to perfection. Located at Q & 24, there is a small parking lot behind the restaurant. Pro Tip, you order with your wait staff at the table, and they give you a check number. When you are ready to leave, take your check number to the front desk. This is really efficient, so you can settle your bill on your own time, and not have to wait for the wait staff to bring your bill, run your cash or card, wait some more ... I like this business model for fast casual dining. I've started my 24 Ave S food tour starting at Q and ending up at Cuming. I am looking at non-chain places to eat. I am convinced 24 Ave S is one of the most delicious streets in all of Omaha.
