    Chips & Cheese
    Chad B.

    I have a lot of nostalgia for Romeos. Where else can you get nachos and pizza? After a long day out we decided to stop in for a quick meal. Of course, we started off with chips and cheese. The cheese sauce here is super addictive and honestly the reason I stop in a few times a year. It was just as I remember and an excellent start. I wasn't feeling Tex-Mex so I got pizza. While it's not the best pizza in town, it's still respectable The cheese is quality and the pepperoni is served crispy. My fiancé got the fajita taco salad. The steak was in large chunks and hard to eat in the salad. She had to take it out and cut it on the plate. It was more hassle than it was worth. Next time she will get ground beef instead. Overall, while the atmosphere is a bit dated, the food is decent to good and your bill is never high.

    Chili relleno
    Tracy H.

    For some reason enthuse establishments love seating the folks eating alone in the back corner next to the restroom and this was no acceptation. After looking over the menu I choose the chili rellenos with green chili . I asked for a side of corn tortillas and the gentleman said they don't have corn tortillas! What kind of Mexican restaurant is this??? Already lead to a disappointing start of my lunch. No free chips with your food which is also a let down. The chili relleno itself was ok but it had a cheddar cheese sauce in it instead. Definitely not real Mexican food . Sorry what's wrong I don't know it's not what is it normally like well not cheddar cheese it's Mexican cheese or chili in it well the white queso and a key so I can oh definitely not traditional . Will never be back again

    Came in at lunch time. Chips and cheese dip is really good. Could have made the appetizer my meals. Service was friendly and fast. The tables felt a little too close to one another. My taco salad was tasty. All in all a good experience. Will come back for sure

    #3 lunch combo
    Will S.

    I hadn't been to a Romeo's in probably 20+ years, but I ended up here and have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. For one, my expectations were admittedly pretty low. I still remember 12-year-old me not being impressed by Romeo's. But when you take it for what it is--a family-friendly spot for greasy food--I can see the appeal. I ordered #3 lunch combo with one beef, one carnitas, and one chicken taco. The fried flour shells were pretty excellent. The meat had minimal seasoning and the salsa had very little spice. So everything was, you know, a bit bland, but that's what I was planning on. Honestly, the tacos were pretty good. Also tried the chips and cheese dip. They tasted exactly how they sound. Now I wouldn't go out of my way to return to Romeo's, whether this location or another. But if I had an invite to dine with some friends here, I'd be on board.

    "Mexican" menu

    Ok, I'm Mexican American from California. Somehow i ended up in Omaha and was super hungry and googled Mexican restaurant. This one was nearby so I gave it a try. NO. This is the most disappointing fake mexican restaurants ive ever visited. I get asked by my waitress what I would like to drink and I said Horchata which is the #1 drink of Mexicans or at least well known and she had no clue what I was asking. At that moment I wanted to leave but we had a long trip ahead so I didn't. Went along to order a carne asada burrito but it was a "beef burrito". A carne asada burrito has rice, beans, cheese, and the meat. As you see in the picture that is not it. I really wanted to speak to the manager but my cousin didn't let me. I didn't want to argue but as someone who belongs to the Mexican culture, this is disappointing and appropriating our food. There are so many white people that I saw come in and I hate having to think that they go home really thinking this is Mexican food. The owner needs to clarify or up their game and add real authentic food if they are going to label it as "mexican food"

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.

    I want to start out by saying the food was very good! We came for an early dinner on a Thursday so…read moreI'm assuming that's why our service wasn't the best. When we walked in it seemed like our server was the only one there working - drinks took a while to arrive and didn't come as pictured on the passport but were still good. I got the Barria taco meal and never received my rice that went along with it, ended up being fine I was full but could have taken for leftovers. Plenty of tables and cute decor. Overall, the food was the star of the show and our waiter got the job done with our large party it was just slower service than I was hoping for an early off peak meal. Worth it to come in expecting slow service to get a good meal imo!

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! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

The tacos I had were very warm and very filling, I was able to take some home for lunch the next day. The Cantarita was ok, seemed like it wasn't something that is usually made and it seemed more like it came in a bowl than the typical dish ware. The servers were very friendly and was able to help out when we had questions. The place itself was very well decorated and didn't seem cluttered. They have a lot of metallic art so that was pretty cool.

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are the absolute best and the ambiance is very welcoming and comfortable. We started with some chips and dips, and the queso was delicious. It was the perfect amount of spice but still creamy and cheesy. The salsas were also very flavorful and a great start to our meal. I chose to get the carne asada for dinner and it was absolutely AMAZING. The steak was so juicy and tender, and seasoned to perfection. I was so impressed, and it was perfectly paired with some tortillas de maiz, the guacamole, and rice and beans. I would absolutely get this meal again.

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. Settled on chicken enchiladas. Very tasty with some kick. The cheese was drizzled on top rather than baked through. Service was exceptionally friendly, I suspect from the bartender/proprietor. Would definitely return if in the area, but for now I am generally avoiding streetcar construction chaos. If you are downtown anyway, go.
