We were excited to try this new fast food option in Omaha. We ordered two 3 taquito meals with one each of the taquitos being chicken, beef and potato. The meals came with refried beans and spanish rice as sides. The meals included a medium drink. First, they did not have a brewed ice tea option, instead it was dispensed through the Pepsi machine. I gave the ice tea button a push, gave it a taste and it did not taste like ice tea, at all. I emptied my cup and went with Barqs Root Beer instead. The meals arrived in styrofoam containers despite the fact that we were eating in, ugh. We had to go to the counter ourselves to get forks. The refried beans were loose and lukewarm. No sprinkle of cheddar on top to dress it up, nothing. The spanish rice was tasty but was just slightly warmer than the refried beans. A food safety concern for me. We had asked for corn shell taquitos and the taquitos we got were not corn shells at all. I think mine was a flour shell. Mine were deep fried to a very dark overcooked brown. The edges looked burnt. When I bit into them, the shells just flaked and fell apart, and not in a good way. The chicken filling was adequate, the beef was hiding about an inch and a half into the shell and the potato filling was almost non existant. The topping descriptions for both orders included a guac sauce but only my companion got anything green on her taquitos. In fact, the sauces looked to be applied using those squeeze chef bottles in a zig zag pattern. I chose the OG topping on my taquitos which looked like a little shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of crumbled white cheese and a drizzle of a hot sauce similar to tabasco. It WAS spicy. The meals cost just over $14 each. My companion gave a rating of 7 out of 10 because she enjoyed her taquitos more than I did. I gave them a 4 out of 10 mostly because the guy behind the counter was friendly. Neither of us would recommend to a friend or return for another meal. Much needs to be improved at this establishment to ensure it's...
Read moreWas really excited to check this new place out. They are open until 10 pm so we went Friday night at 900pm. They were already putting the patio equipment inside. It was right by the register so it made it crowded. The booths were pushed together and out from the wall. Made it not able to sit in them. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. The cook was very angry. He came in from picking up the rug and went to making food without washing his hands. He did have plastic gloves on but still not nice to see. He slammed food around while he made it. Seeming angry that he couldn’t clean up. There were four other people that came in after us so he had lots of orders. He slammed the fries into the oil. It was uncomfortable to be inside. Since it’s an open kitchen it was impossible to not see it. The taquitos we got were flour ones. They were burnt. They come in a combo with beans and rice. The sides were cold. I got the corn with Cheeto powder but in a bowl. It was not good at all. Mushy. The corn on the cob was better. The fries with queso were good. Crispy. I would say the whole meal was underwhelming. I don’t know if it would be better eating it there but it wasn’t an environment I would want to eat in.
The tea was great. Lots of flavors. Pop machine has the good ice!
They have horchata but it was left open without a lid and I didn’t...
Read moreMy husband was so excited to try this new restaurant, we had family in town so we thought perfect opportunity to go try it. When we walked in there were a handful of other customers who look frustrated but, didn't think anything about it. We ordered our food and waited 40 minutes to get our food. No apology or anything after waiting that long, which is why we got why the other customers looked annoyed when we initially walked it. When we finally got our food we were hoping that the taste of it would make up for the long wait. We were sadly mistaken. Our food was overly sauced and the taquitos were cooked too long. I didn't even finish all my food from the lack of flavor and not being cooked right. Later on that night I ended up getting sick from my dinner I was the only one who ordered the taquitos out of our group. Please just save your money, it was not worth all the hype and feeling...
