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.

I want to drink the green salsa!

This restaurant has a special place in my heart. Wednesday and Thursday nights are cheap margarita nights, and yes, they pack a punch! The food is excellent and portion sizes are generous. The fajitas are served with a flaming tequila show, which is fun. I tend to order the shrimp fajitas or Eli's deluxe plate, which has steak, shrimp, and cheese. The salsa here is probably the best in Lincoln. The green salsa has an avocado base, which is unusual and delicious, but don't forget to try the red salsa too.

Visited on a very busy Friday night with my two children. The place was packed and there was only one server and she was drowning from the start. I saw a sign that they are looking for additional help and they needed it. I ordered a Shrimp dish with Diablo sauce which was very good, had a unique smokey Chipolte flavor infused with fresh lemon. This was complimented by fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and lovely large slices of avocado. It was impressive and what I imagine proper Mexican food tastes like. My wife had a Shrimp Burrito which had nothing but rice and beans on one end and all the shrimp stuffed in the other. You could tell the chef was run ragged. The tortilla chips with Salsa were very greasy but the actual Salsa was fresh and spicy. Something I appreciate but some people may not be able to handle. My son had a beef taco meal which was plentiful and looked good. So long story short we will go back when it's not so busy and they have help. I feel the place has great potential for a family owned little restaurant. It was hard to see people getting their own menus, watching chefs having to help take orders and waiting 45 minutes for our food.

We were here a year ago and enjoyed it even more. You have to get the guacamole based green sauce it's amazing! I hope I can get some to go. If I wasn't so full my plate would be empty. I ordered #24. Get it you'll love it. I don't know how someone could give this place A bad review.
(5)Heather B.
Hot. Fast. Fair prices. I think a lot of people drive right by and don't really realize it's in that sparsely filled strip mall thing. Check it out!
(5)Leo B.
Great staff, friendly service, and the food was delicious!The kids menu had options that you actually won't feel bad feeding to your child. I highly recommend the steak & shrimp chimichanga!

Worst restaurant EVER. Watch your bills people! My husband and I stopped in out of town. We ordered the guacamole and at 7 dollars were expecting a decent bowl of it. What came out was a half of an avocado mashed in a bowl the size of the small salsa bowl. They couldn't have used more than half of one avocado to make that order. Then they brought out red instead of green enchiladas, and what I received back was clearly re-doctored Red enchiladas covered in green sauce, it tasted awful. My husband ordered the chili Verde and it was mostly gristle with the occasional miracle of a piece of pork. Then we go to check out and all of a sudden our bill magically jumps several dollars. I was expecting to pay around 25 and she charged me 42. Claiming a mixup she then tells me that the guacamole I paid for was seven dollars. That barely covered the discrepancy in price and it was severely overpriced at that! After I disagreed with her and said that couldn't make up for the gap, she wouldn't show me the receipt itemized so I grabbed a menu and read the prices of what we ordered out loud. Only then did she relent and charge us less after comparing that to the total. It was my opinion that she was attempting to pad the bill. The place was silent and severely lacking. The food was slop at best. Stay far far away from this place!! I would give it zero stars if I could.
(1)Rob R.
The food was pretty good. The wife had margaritas, which looked excellent. I was not impressed by the location or the menu. The inside of the place seemed a bit underwhelming in my opinion as well. We went for lunch, so maybe it's better at dinner, I don't know. It was not a disappointment, but no real wow factor there for me at all.
(3)Jake M.
Fantastic food, friendly staff. My go-to is the Expresso burrito with steak. The green salsa is also fantastic. Don't let the location fool you--this is one of Lincoln's best.

Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had turned out to be in Nebraska. Go figure
(5)Lindsay H.
On a cross country drive and thought I'd risk getting Mexican food in NE, mostly due to its proximity to the freeway. SO glad I did!! The place is clean, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was great!! I had the veggie burrito and a house margarita. Loved how they put sauce over the burrito, but even if they hadn't, it still would have been great. Their guacamole was yummy and they didn't skimp putting it in my burrito--a huge plus for me! The two house salsas were delicious. Too bad I'm only passing though... Is gladly come back here again and again!
(5)Shannon C.
Amazing service, food and quality at a great price. As a California person I LOVE my Mexican and have high standards. This does not disappoint. Check it out and enjoy!
(5)Maddie L.
Since when do you have to pay extra for salsa refills? I have to say, that was my favorite part of coming here- we could ignore the bad service and inconsistent food (and in fairness, when it was good, it was really good, but equally bad when it was bad) for that delicious green salsa. But frankly, if you're going to charge $1.95 to eat it, we'd just rather support another restaurant. It's just really, really bad business if you ask me.
(3)Jacob H.
This place is awesome! Very good food very good flavor. Try the green sauce! Very friendly staff.
(5)Kendall R.
Service was horrible. Food was ok. But if you want great food, go to Hacienda Real.
(1)Mohan R.
Excellent burrito! This place is middle of nowhere and it was one of the best Mexican food I have had.
(5)Sadie S.
Great staff, clean dinning area and great menu selection. Free chips and salsa and the chips were nice and hot the salsa was perfect. The portions are good sized and they got it out quickly. My son devoured his quesadilla and my fried chimichanga was gigantic. Only four stars because I felt they used too much cheese and it was a bit salty but I would absolutely love to try other menu items! Will be coming back
(4)Susan B.
Grew up in Los Angeles and grew up with the best Mexican food i think...... and Pancho Villa is hands down one of the best ive had....
(5)Bob N.
A simple strip mall cafe has produced one of the most amazing Mexican dinners that I have had in more years than I can remember. The blended Margarita sparkled after 15 straight days of diving. I had the 3 item Revolution dinner and it was served on a plate so large that it could have been a turkey platter. An amazing abundance of some of the best Mexican food I have had. The only problem I have is that I live in Palm Desert California and can't come back every week.
(5)Chris L.
Great chips and salsa, good proportions. We had 5 in our party and everyone enjoyed there food and drinks. I had the Mango margarita blended and it was perfect. We will eat there again.
(4)Angela M.
Authentic, yummy, and recommend the expresso burrito. Delish! the owner is great and hard working too!
(5)Christen N.
I love eating at Pancho Villa. Their food is always freshly prepared and everything is made from scratch. The green salsa is amazing and I love the expresso burrito. They have really good lunch specials too.
(5)Toni A.
Yum! We stopped in on a Wednesday night for an impromptu dinner out. It was our first time visiting Pancho Villa's and I can confidently say that we will be back. Location: unless you know that this place is tucked in the corner of the strip mall, you could miss it. The open kitchen is nice and there is plenty of seating. Parking was easy. No TV! Yay! you can sit and chat without the background noise overwhelming your conversation. Menu: Being an AZ transplant, I have eaten a lot of Mexican food and this was probably some of the best in Lincoln. Appetizers were 1/2 off so we ordered a quesadilla to start. It was huge and when paired with the green Avocado based salsa, delicious. Both salsas that come with the complimentary chips and salsas were just spicy enough. We each ordered a super burrito with carne asada for $8.95. It came with a light red chile sauce on it NOT tomato sauce like other have eluded too. `These were so big at one point I just couldn't take one more bite. We were full all night. Like literally, for HOURS. The food came out quickly and was good. $2.50 Margarita? YES PLEASE. They are fooling around with the margies. You have the choice of sugar or salt and they pack a punch. Fountain pepsi products, lots of bottled beers and Mexican cokes. There are a number of burrito options (yes, some even with parmesan cheese in them so READ the descriptions), combo plates, and appetizers. They were in the middle range of price but considering the quantity, freshness of the food and quick service it was worth it. Service: service was nice and she was very quick. With one server it may get a little slow but imagine they staff more people on busier nights. Overall: definitely going again. You should try it too if you haven't already. Wishlist: White Menudo! with lots of hominy! They had to take it off the menu since no one ordered it.

I love Pancho Villa! The food is delicious. I especially love the Guadalajara tacos & my fiancé loves their super nachos. Their margaritas are totally yummy! I have liked everything I've eaten there.
(5)Lynn W.
I stopped in on my drive cross country. I don't know what other Mexican cuisine is available in Nebraska, so I can't compare. It was ok. The service was friendly and fast, the food was fresh, but it was just ok. I guess I was happy to find it instead of some fast food joint. The green salsa was very delicious. The Horchata was crunchy and not well mixed.
(2)W J.
Really good all around. Big margarita is great. Had tacos and chile relleno. Quick service. Will go back again.
(5)Greg S.
My wife and I love Mexican food so we thought we'd give PV a shot. Getting to it is not straight forward if you're coming from anywhere but east. However, the roundabout way was worth the effort. The atmosphere has a native flavor (i.e. music and decor) in a clean modern strip mall. The food that we had was flavorful, especially my wife's enchilada and taco. My chili verde was good but could have used more verde sauce. The chips and salsa was very good and you get a guacamole sauce with a hot salsa. Prices are about par for Lincoln's Mexican restaurants. All-in-all it was a good decent meal and we will be going back.

I've eaten at Pancho Villa twice now and it has definitely given my other favorite sit down type mexican restaurants a run for their money. This place is tasty. First the chips and salsa. WOW. They have two different kinds of salsa that you get complimentary with your meal. One is a red salsa that has a nice kick to it and wonderful flavors. The other is (for me at least) the star of the salsa show. It's a green salsa with tomatillos and avocado. YUM. I love avocado, so a salsa verde that also boasts mushed up avocados is about the best thing to happen to my taste buds in quite some time. The atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, but it's clean and very bright. There isn't a lot of decor on the walls and it's a bit bland. Not a huge deal at all, because the food is awesome. I just think a bit more character would help give it an extra punch. The top shelf margaritas: AWESOME. Don't even waste your time with the cheaper marg. These are more expensive and worth every single penny. They make them from scratch. No high fructose corn syrup laden mix in this drink. Just the good stuff like you'd get in mexico. Top shelf tequila, cointreau, fresh squeezed lime, salt on the rim and ice. So simple, so delicious and so much better than a mix. The food: Very good. The first time I went I got the chili relleno burrito. It was HUGE. for 7.95 I got a burrito that was the size of my forearm. The chili relleno was so good, with yummy cheese and a light batter. It had more cheese, rice, beans and then a fantastic sauce on top. The burrito sauce was seriously good stuff. The second time i got a combo plate that came with an enchilada and a Guadalajara style taco. I love the traditional tacos. I got al pastor for the meat on my taco (you have your choice of meat for any of their dishes here) and chili verde in my enchilada. Both of these were knock out. The chili verde sauce was fantastic and the stewed pork in it was tender and flavorful. The al pastor was also wonderful. The marinade on the pork was flavorful and made the pork very juicy. I really like the rice here and I'm pretty picky about my Mexican rice. This stuff is very good. The service is pretty good. The first time our waitress was very friendly and helpful, the second time it was a little less so. Over all, I think they really care about customer service and keeping their patrons happy. If you haven't been, check this place out. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Were you disappointed when Lucy's restaurant closed? Luckily there's a nice replacement. On the end of a strip mall behind a strip mall on the North side of Cornhusker. The Santanas remodeled the interior for a cleaner look. Totally different menu. Start with complimentary chips and red and green salsa's. The green salsa is from bits of avacodo not tomatillas. This is not quacamole but it is good and a nice change from standard salsa. We tried the regular burrito for $5.95. A behemoth stuffed with you choice of meat. Combination platters range from $8 to $14 and include seafood and vegetarian offerings. Standard mexcan food items and some new twists like Tortas & Milanesa with emphasis on fresh food. I haven't had a chance to eat through the menu yet but so far it would make Pancho Villa proud.
(5)Jim S.
Wonderful Mexican Food. It seems very authentic style yet quite tasty to a gringo. The green sauce is some of the best i have ever had. The people are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. I scheduled a club meeting at this restaurant and everyone loved it! Guess you can tell this is one of my favorites!
(5)Lisa B.
We hungry travelers stopped at PV while passing through Lincoln. The nachos and two side order enchiladas fed my friend and I for THREE FULL MEALS; and we certainly don't eat like birds! The enchiladas and nachos were made of the same ingredients so there wasn't much variety for our buds, but all around very tasty! Stop in!
(4)Anita B.
Excellent! Seems a small menu restaurant but will surprise you! Homemade dishes that will please the palate!
(4)Ben L.
A solid Mexican restaurant tucked away in a little strip mall. It could be easy to miss but it's definitely worth it check this place out. They have an extensive menu and the food is quite good, featuring things you're unlikely to find in more "Americanized" Tex-Mex style restaurants like menudo and meat selections like lengua (beef tongue) and cabeza (beef cheek). I ordered the super burrito, which is absolutely massive. It's enough food for at least 2 or more meals and a great deal for only $6.95. Most of the entrees range in the $6-$12 price range. I look forward to coming back and trying something else off the menu.
