Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Best Mexican food in Lincoln!!! After living in California for 6 years it was a challenge finding a local authentic Mexican restaurant. Haven't eaten any where else since finding this place.

I spent serious $ going to see Prairie Home Companion at the Pinewood Bowl Amphitheatre, so I needed a cheap dinner before the show, and ended up at El Chaparro. Dang. Jamaica, horchata, and 5 tacos for 5 bucks. (Seriously, I did not need 5 tacos, but there they were...) The Mexican rice here is no friggin joke, either. So delicious. Some of the best Mexi rice I've had in a hot minute. Husband had enchiladas and was quite pleased, especially with the sauce. The place is unassuming and fast-food-looking, and while the service was okay, the bathrooms left something to be desired. But the food was good enough that I was still quite pleased with my experience. If you're in Lincoln and in need of some cheap grub, this is your place fo sho.

I used YELP when we were in Lincoln to find this Mexican restaurant This restaurant appears to be a family owned. I really like supporting local business owners. There are not a lot of tables in this restaurant but there were a few when we arrived that were open. Just waiting to be cleaned off. We ordered our meals and it took a while for the food to arrive but must say everything we ordered was really very tasty. They provided free chips and salsa and had a nice variety of meals on the menu. The kids loved their chicken strips and fries, my wife enjoyed her burrito and I enjoyed my chicken enchiladas. For four of us, including drinks, before tip was under 30 dollars. Really a great price for good food. This is one of those places you typically would drive past but must say the food is really good. The waitress and staff were really nice. As for atmosphere, this is really more of a hole in the wall experience. We will absolutely be back.

From the telenovelas to the great food, this is definitely as authentic as a Mexican food place can be. I got a tongue burrito (yes--you read that correctly). It was massive, and at only $6, a good deal. The meat choice may not be for everyone, but I loved the tenderness. For dessert, I got the sopaipillas. Oh my goodness. The greatest thing I have ever tasted. They were basically sugar nachos with a gallon of whipped cream on top. Let me tell you, I ate the entire thing with no regrets. Will be coming back!

BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT hands down! I am from Los Angeles and came to Lincoln because of my job. I was pleasantly surprised that this is here because everything is made from scratch. The five tacos carne asada is amazing, the enchiladas- you can't go wrong. The price is so affordable! A plate full is like $5. The horchata... YUM!

The steak fajitas are awesome. The salsa and chips that are free are also very good. Don't let the outside of the building or the location (next to Dead Man's Run) fool you. This is some good authentic Mexican food.

This is one of my favorite secret spots for Mexican food in Lincoln. The 48th street location is never really that busy, so you're guaranteed to get your food real quick and hot. The menu has very reasonable prices and an extensive amount of items to choose from. I would have to suggest ordering the shrimp tostadas, which are not on the menu, but they used to be and they will make them for you upon order. This is the secret item off the menu that I keep coming back for. Also the shrimp quesadilla is quite tasty as well. There's something about how they grill everything that gives it such a unique flavor. Sometimes food can be real spicy, especially on the weekends. They don't serve alcohol, but that's not always a bad thing.

So, I wouldn't really call this Fine Mexican Food or Fine Dining, but it's tasty. I ended up at this location after my mom read the sign "abierto" in the 13th st. location and thought it meant closed. The food is very reasonably priced and the complimentary chips and salsa were pretty decent. Our waitress was friendly and efficient and the restaurant was clean. It's not the Mexican restaurant I've ever been to but totally worth the money. (entrees ~$4.5-$6) It's better than the Mexican food I've had in Seattle.

Love this place :) Free chips and salsa--pretty spicy! Cheap meals. Fast friendly service. The parking lot and business itself isn't super "nice" but if you're just looking for a good, quick, cheap meal...this is your place. Not very "commercial" at all. Definitely a family run type of business. I frequent and love El Chaparro. Where else can you get a chimichanga dinner with rice and beans AND a soft drink for 8 bucks?? :)
