QS Grill Steak — Restaurant in Gretna

Tucked right next to the Mega Saver on 168th and Harrison is a charming little mom-and-pop spot that’s an absolute hidden gem. The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming you with warm smiles and happily answering any questions you have. Their passion and attentiveness truly set the tone for the whole experience.

If you think Latin food in Omaha starts and ends with Mexican cuisine, this place will open your eyes. Nicaraguan food is one of the most underrated cuisines out there—and this place does it right. Every dish is packed with flavor, especially the meats, which are tenderized with citrus (you can actually taste the orange!). It’s a level of care and attention you rarely find these days.

One standout is the Gallo Pinto—a traditional blend of black beans and rice, cooked in a banana leaf with a hint of coconut. It’s served with a tangy pickled cabbage that mixes beautifully into the rice for a balanced, savory bite. I ordered the grilled pork, which was bursting with flavor. You can choose between sweet plantains or plantain chips; I went with the chips, and they were perfectly crispy and crunchy.

The fried cheese on the side? Always a win.

For $17–$20 a plate, you’re getting something truly special—homemade food made fresh every day with real ingredients and real love. Compare that to a $13 fast food combo, and it’s a no-brainer. This place isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of culture and craftsmanship.

I had heard a friend of mine from South Omaha talk about eating papusas all the time but I had never tried one. This place opened next to the gas station on the corner and their menu showed papusas so I thought I would give them a try. My wife isn't as enthusiastic about trying new foods so she had the steak which was served with rice and plantain chips. We were given the choice of sweet plantains in kind of a syrup or the plantain chips which tasted like a thick tortilla chip. Her food was very good and cooked perfectly. Also, the staff is so friendly and they were very helpful when it came to letting us know what they had to offer. We also added a piece of fried cheese which was outstanding. The papusas are good but you have to top it with a side of vinegar slaw they give you which brings out all of the flavors. For some reason, I just felt like this was a place that I want to see do well. The people were very humble and the food was good and not over priced at all. They kept trying to get us to try the Tres Leche cake. Maybe next time and there will definitely be...

The place is clean and nicely put together. The food was ok, I expected more quantity on the plate, but, only one piece of carne asada. Carne asad should be served as a long piece maybe even two but here, we got only one. The gallo pinto was not at it’s best. Plantains were fried well, and repollo came with its own onions chopped which was nice. Had to ask for their picante, and it was worth it it’s green and tastes like chimichurri, took that baby home. Fried cheese should be cut think for the frying process, but here we got a thin slice.., so not a fan of what they provide here for the buck! Sodas are from the fountain so be prepared to have a Clorox drink 🥤 with your food. Overall it’s ok but prolly won’t be back as there is nothing wonderful that will bring...
