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.

This place was a gem! I had ground beef tacos x 2, my kids had a chicken quesadilla, and my husband had the tamales (lunch special). Everything was really flavorful and well put together. The man who helped us was also very nice. We walked away feeling sufficiently full and ready for another 8 hours driving! The meal was super reasonably priced at $25 including drinks.

Great place. This isn't just "authentic" this is legit real Mexican food! I'm not from here and I'm so glad to have found this place. Reminds me of my mommas cooking. Very friendly staff. Thank you Super Taco!

I really don't like giving one-star reviews but my experience at Super Taco was anything but super. On our cross-country roadtrip we ended up in Lincoln around lunchtime and found this place via Yelp search. While the storefront turned me off, my boyfriend was determined to give them a fair shot. Not having any idea what to order, I went by pictures and selected a gordita. When asked for a meat choice, I was overwhelmed by the options (three different kinds of pork!) but settled on the seasoned pork. Unfortunately the first thing I noticed on my gordita was a small hair. Then a second one. I scooped them out of the sour cream and pushed forward. However, my first bite disappointed. The shell was like a fried pancake, but not as tasty. The meat was pretty flavorless, and the only other filling was cheese. I snacked on the guac that was served on the side but only made it through less than half of my meal. My boyfriend had much better luck, ordering three tacos, his favorite of which was the taco al pastor. I tasted it and it was a huge improvement from my meal. Other than the food, I was also unsatisfied with the cleanliness. The water glasses looked to be older than me (very chipped) and there was absolutely no soap or paper towels in the women's restroom. I just hope the men were cooking.

I asked an Hispanic friend to recommend a restaurant in Lincoln, I don't speak enough Spanish anymore to understand what transpired between my friend and the 2 or 3 other Spanish speaking folks in the group but the consensus was Super Taco. I tried it today and it was killer!!!!! I lived in Tucson for a few years so I was kind of thinking that it would be an American interpretation of what Mexican cuisine should be like. I was wrong, the Norteno cuisine I loved in Tucson is alive and well here! The "kick" doesn't come from the food, it comes from the salsa you choose to add to the food. This is a gem in a strip mall in the middle of Nebraska. Whoulda thought?
(5)Ted C.
Service was quick and courteous. Food was great an reasonably priced. Don't let the name or the strip mall location fool you: this is good Mexican food. The carne asada was Awesome.
(5)Chris E.
Amazing tacos, wide variety of fillings to choose from, both accessible (pollo, steak) and authentic (lengua). Also, their tortas are incredible and super-filling. LOVE this place, and I go back as often as I can! Also, their red sauce and green sauce are both other-worldly, no other restaurant in Lincoln can compete with these sauces!
(5)Dave H.
Very good, authentic Mexican food. Very friendly service. Would go again and again.
(3)Janet L.
Just moved to Lincoln and I was a little worried about finding my staple mom-and-pop type ethnic restaurants. Having lived in central Mexico for 2 years, this is the real stuff. My favorite are the Tlacoyos! I've never seen a place in the US (granted - I haven't lived in Texas, etc.) that served Tlacoyos!! So excited. I would say that their cuisine is central Mexico. I also called one day to ask to pick up 18 tacos for a work pot-luck, and people thought they were great. They also serve Nopales! What a GREAT find! It's now my go-to Mexican place in Lincoln.
(5)Luis M.
I'm half-Mexican. I'm from California. This place is truly authentic. I eat the chicken sope practically every single time I come here, and I wash it down with a Mexican Coke. What more need be said? I think a second location may have opened up down on Sun Valley Parkway -- at least, it's called Super Taco II -- but I haven't checked it out.
(4)Mike S.
Tacos are good. Steak meat is burrito tasted like roadkill. Margaritas were horrible with basically no tequila. When we complained she added two more shots and charged 7.00 for it. What a bummer. Charged me 2.50 for the burrito that I sent back. No itemized bill until I asked. No ice in my water. Probably wouldn't go back. 10.50 for one well margarita and not even a buzz.
(2)Jessa J.
Very good, authentic mexican food, especially for Lincoln! The guac was so fresh and very tasty! Loved the street tacos. The tortas also very good. Great service too! I'm a flan fan, and it was just not good so therefore giving the review a 4 instead of a 5 :) I'll be back!
(4)Lianna N.
Well...maybe I came at a time that was just too busy or something [they were packed], but we got tucked into the "overflow" part of the restaurant and were constantly forgotten. Forgot our waters, forgot to take our order (we had to go hunt her down), brought my food after a really long wait yet forgot my utensils...list goes on. I didnt try the tacos here which they are famous for...but eh, I'll continue to go to el ray. However, their menu is quite extensive and they serve specialties like menudo on weekends. I would like to go try that!
(3)Rebecca B.
They have the most amazing posole. Even on what might be a 100 degree day, it's worth it! About 2-3 times a month I'm down here (about a 20 min drive) for some posole after a night of drinking. I don't even have to order anymore. The gentleman working just looks at me and says, "posole and water?" Great service, great food!
(4)Sam K.
I wish this place was in a bigger location - not because I mind going to it but because it is so easily overlooked and not many people seem to know about it! This place is GOOD. I could talk for hours about the steak burrito I had. And you can see the staff making your food not too far way from you, and you can tell it's fresh, not frozen. Triple A-plus!
(4)Jill S.
I cannot believe I haven't been here earlier. Excellent, authentic and delicious food. I highly recommend the tamales. Friendly staff provide superb service and all at a reasonable price.
(5)Jonette W.
Okay, so I read that some dude was crapping on this place because of a friggin Margarita..... well, to be honest this is your typical "pappas and beer" kind of place like you find in Downtown LA, Tijuana, Ensenada...etc... If you want good, authentic Pappas and Beer, go here... if you want your hoity toity margarita, then I would go to Carlos O Kelly's or something, seriously because this isn't really a Margarita sort of place and anyone who walks through the front door would be able to figure that out. I grew up in the LA area and did my fair share of camping in Mexico on the bluffs in Ensenada....and I can tell you, this is pretty much the closest you will get to the real authentic Mexican street taco, here in Nebraska. I used to really miss these little gems and would pig out on them every visit to CA, but now I found Super Taco and now....I pig out on them a couple times a week! I'll admit, I haven't had anything else here but my fiance had the flautas and...well he was a little disappointed because they were taquitos (corn tortillas instead of the flour)...but I still say its a great place :)
(5)Brian K.
The chicken quesadillas are unreal they are so good.
(5)Gabby A.
I had written a review for the Sun Valley location, but I'm pretty sure this location has closed. I have tried to go several times and the place has been locked up. I have absolutely no problem making the trek to this one though, because Super Taco is amazing. It has become my favorite place to go for the real deal Mexican food I so often crave. Their meats here are so delicious. You can get all kinds of stuff you can't find at your typical Mexican restaurant (tongue, cheek, stomach) along with much of the usual stuff and it's all good. On my last visit I had Tlacoyo which had incredible beans, seasonings, crema, and queso fresco and I of course had to add one of their fantastic Mexican tacos on the side (my meat of choice being Adobada-a delicious marinated pork). My boyfriend got a burrito with steak that was huge and also incredibly delicious. All this wonderful food rang it at about $13, so you really can't beat the price. Their traditional Mexican tacos are $1.35 a piece so order a few and make a meal out of it or tack one or two on to one of their many other menu options. Either way, you gotta try these little babies. They also have liquor drinks and many Mexican beers to compliment your meal, and many desert options if you're in need of a bit of something sweet to finish it all off. They also take all major credit cards (with a $5 minimum I believe) and add to that their friendly, informative and fast service. This place is great. Give them a try and I'm pretty sure you'll feel the same.
(5)Charles G.
BOOM! I got 2 tacos al pastor and 2 carne asada, they were both awesome, plenty of onion and cilantro and lime, plus their hot sauce was great! This place is as good as my favorite taco place in Phoenix, and in my opinion nothing else needs to be said.
(5)Brian K.
The chicken quesadillas are unreal they are so good.
(5)Brett W.
I had a couple of buddies introduce me to this place and I am glad they did. The staff is wonderful and the food is great. We have stopped in few times towards the end of there shifts and they still go up over an beyond to do a great job. It is a great restaurant!

This is simply the best Mexican food in the area! If you haven't been to Super Taco yet...do yourself a favor and come in. The Sope and Tacos are absolutely fantastic!
(5)Christina B.
This place is awesome! I love getting the mini tacos they are priced pretty cheap and great quality. I love that they have tripe it is rare because people are scared to try it but it is yummy and they cook it just right. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home and they seem very nice. Only problem was rice seemed to lack flavor but other than that great place I would recommend to anyone!!
(4)Mega S.
I tried the carne asada tacos and the horchata. It was drier than I expected but okay. I prefer the other Mexican restaurant El Chrappo or Chaparro.
(3)Mark F.
Packed and I know why! Hawaiian Torta was outstanding! Prices were unbelievable for the quality. It is a keeper for Lincoln!
(5)James S.
Not a bad place to eat. Drove past it the first time thinking it was a stand-alone restaurant, but its in a strip mall and parking can be almost non nonexistent at times. Service was fairly fast. Food was pretty good, a lot of it home made right on the spot. The green sauce is very much like a bell pepper sauce and the hot was good as well. The lettuce and tomato in the taco salad wasn't watery or soggy. Very crisp and fresh. My only complaint is that they do not have a soda fountain. Everything it out of bottles, which again isn't too bad, but the wait staff never came around to see if I wanted a refill. The wait for the check took a long time too. Other than that, very good.
(2)Jerry W.
I've been looking for quite sometime the taste of good Mexican food. I found it here. There food tastes great and for a good price. Carna asada that is so delicious topped perfectly with cilantro and onions. If you like good tacos this is the place to go.
(4)B P.
Seriously some great stuff. Best place between a cash advance store and ace rent to own that I have ever eaten at.
(4)Fazle H.
This was the best Mexican place i have been too, and i rarely give 5 stars. The carne asada was grilled just right and had the right amount of fat on it, the menudo was a new item so i had to try it, it was beef tripe in a spicy broth. It will great eats in the winter.
(5)Lori C.
Surprisingly good. I didn't expect to find anything I liked here but really enjoyed the quesadillas. The nachos are not that great as the cheese is really bland.
(3)Seth M.
My hero Super Taco allows me to sleep well at night knowing someone in Lincoln is producing delicious tacos.
(4)Shain W.
I just moved here from Arizona (the heart of Mexican food) and I was extremely happy with the food. The adobada and carne tacos were tender and flavorful. The sauces were fantastic as well! The only reason I didn't rate it five stars was because the service could've been a little better. I will definitely be back.
(4)Carmen E.
The best Mexican in Lincoln! Taco lovers rejoice! If you love beef try out the lengua taco or burrito, both are delicious and a great value. El pastor is also an excellent choice. The meals will definitely fill you up. Next door (but part of the same store) is a dessert shop with awesome Popsicles in fruit flavors I've never heard of, but if you ask for a certain flavor, sweet for example, they'll pick you out a flavor that will blow your mind.
(5)Abigael N.
This place is not very good. I ordered the carne aside burrito while my boyfriend ordered a carne aside taco. Overall, the quality of the meat was horrendous (but still edible) and did not taste like any other carne aside I have ever tried. They did not offer chips like many other mexican restaurants do. The price wasn't too bad, but the taste in general was not good. Would never come back. Staff was nice though.
(2)Meka A.
BEST LEGIT MEXICAN FOOD IN LINCOLN! The food is amazing and the prices always surprise me for the quality and quantity. I usually get specially made steak burrito and it's never made incorrectly, always on point! sometimes I'll splurge and get their ice cream which is pretty awesome, especially since it's just next door. the staff is just as good as there food. It's family owned, the owners and there daughters are usually there working WITH a smile! you can tell they love what they do. They always make me laugh and are always welcoming. I honestly can't recommend a better Mexican restaurant. Also I love how they have photos for their food.
(5)Mike D.
I had to come back to Yelp and write my first review just to boast about how good this place is. Being from Omaha, I am in no shortage of great taco places down on 24th Street. Fortunately for us, Ken B. and I were in town for a concert and decided to stop here before the show with a couple others. Let me say, this is a typical looking taco place in the Midwest, not run down but not somewhere your average person is going to decide to eat just to check it out. We were a little confused as the one side has ice cream/deserts but is actually part of Super Taco still. We sat down and were promptly addressed by our server. She was fantastic and for the most part understood what we were saying/ordering. She was slightly surprised when we ordered Lengua, Tripa, and Cabenza tacos. My order (at first) was of 2 tacos lengua and 2 tacos al pastor with a large horchata. The horchata was great, not overly sweet and had a great rice flavor to it. The lengua was cooked well, not the greatest I've ever had but still delicious. I always order with just cilantro and no onions and they didn't overdo it on the cilantro because of that. The tacos al pastor were by far the greatest tacos al pastor I have ever eaten. Out of the multitude of taquerias in Omaha no where came close to Super Taco. I ended up ordering 3 more by the time we left. It was cooked perfectly so it was crisp on the outside but the meat was soft and tender with an amazing flavor of the marinade they used as well as pineapple! I make it my goal to come here every time I visit Lincoln, if you love real tacos, you need to check this place out.
(5)Kenny N.
Ha! Clearly at Super Taco, you should only order the tacos. My girlfriend's gordita came replete with two hairs and funky pancakey taste. The womens restroom also didn't have paper towels. Anyway, I probably should have given her some advice. The tacos were really tasty especially the al pastor. The chicarrones were a little chewier than I'm used to. Just order the tacos here.
(3)Will N.
I love eating here for lunch, the days I have class on East Campus. Tacos and guacamole are my "go to." Clean restaurant and friendly staff.
(4)John I.
I enjoyed this place. The food was GREAT. The Owner was very nice and was fun to talk with. The super platter tasted great. The prices are good. And the food will FILL you up!
(5)Josh H.
This place is the best. The tacos are amazing. Al pastor is second to none, but the milanesa and cecina rock. I'm still working my way through the other tacos.
(5)Nate R.
True authentic Mexican! This place is the best in Lincoln and the staff are very nice. They remember how and what I ordered after a couple visits.
(5)Sarah G.
I had a dream about Super Taco the other night... probably caused me to drool a little on my pillow. Mmm, I'll have the Tacos Al Pastor... zzzzzzz. Food worth dreaming about, I surrendered myself to the taco bliss and let the friendly young lady who took our order pick out my lunch. Ended up with 2 chicken, 1 carne asada and 1 pork steak and pineapple masterpiece. Served with red and green hot sauce I couldn't get enough of, this was dining perfection. As I stuffed the last delicious morsels in my mouth I wondered out loud how many of these little beauties I could eat in a sitting. Four was definitely enough for a workday lunch, but even when we were done and comfortably full I still wanted more (which probably brought on the taco-inspired dream).
(5)Scott S.
Straight hot fire! I get there lengua tacos every time, I find myself craving these things throughout the week. The name of the restaurant kind of sounds cheesy and generic. It's located right down the street from my apartment and my brother finally got me to try it and I've been addicted ever since. Super Taco definitely delivers when it comes to authentic Mexican flavor.
(5)Cass A.
This is a great place to grab a quick bite. Though the place is not super fancy, it's not a dive either and was super clean. The service was super friendly and fast. The food was real good. Good sized portions with good flavors and nicely platted. The burritos are large and very tasty. Definitely worth stoppin in!!
(4)Christi R.
Super Taco is one of the best restaurants in Lincoln. The location is a little off-putting but it is right near my house, so I decided to check it out. It was great. It is a family-run business and all of the workers are extremely friendly (particularly the daughter and the male owner!). They remembered my order the second time I went in there.
(5)Katie F.
Extremely cheap and fast food. The customer service is excellent. I had both the grilled beef tacos and the al pastor tacos. I dig the la pastor tacos. Speaking of tacos, if you are looking for the American cheese filled, ground beef, crunchy tortilla taco, this is not the place for you. From what I understand, it's authentic Mexican, but I can't verify that because I have never had authentic Mexican. My boyfriend had the enchilada platter and he really liked it. It was topped in mozzarella and I can confirm that it was delicious. The place is divey, but definitely someplace I would go back to for lunch.
(4)Kendall R.
Wasn't impressed. Not enough flavor for me. Was surprised by the beans, was not expecting what looked and tasted like white beans mashed up. Very disappointed.
(1)steve h.
Fresh homemade tacos. Very yummy. I read one of the other reviewers complain that they don't have fountain drinks. That is because they import a lot of their drinks from Mexico. That means you can get real coke made with cane sugar and not corn syrup. Check it out.
(5)Andrea A.
Never even got the chance to eat here! We called because we were thinking about having a district dinner here for work. When I called I told them that I needed some information I was flabbergasted by the response from the employee "I don't have any information I'm just an employee" and then was HUNG UP ON! I called back in frustration to ask to speak to a manager, same employee answered the phone and when I asked to speak to a manager the response was even worse"I don't have a manger." and then was hung up on AGAIN! I now REFUSE to eat here, even if they have the best food on the planet. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
(1)Michael A.
its good, great service
(4)King B.
I cannot say enough good things about the place. Wonderful owners, affordable prices, friendly (and beautiful) waitresses, and their El Pastor tacos are amazing! Yes the place could use some new booths and on occasion the side orders are not hot enough, but I am hooked regardless.
(4)Brittany S.
I have never been disappointed eating here! The staff are fantastic bilingual for me and my husband. The asada (steak) is so good and never fatty I am very picky about that! Everything in the menu is better than the picture and completely filling. I recommend this place as often as possible!!!
(5)Angie W.
Super Taco is fabulous! My husband and I go at least once a week, and the steak tacos can't be beat. The meat is so unbelievably flavorful and, unlike other Mexican joints in town (aka D'Leon's), it is tender, not greasy, and not covered in slop (i.e. guac, cheese, and pico). Instead, there is just some cilantro, onions, and lime. I also recommend the salsa verde, which is really tasty. My mom has also had the chorizo burrito, which was excellent as well.
(5)Ms G.
Disgusting. From reading other yelp reviews, I suspect we were served other people's food scraps. Let me be fair and say we previously enjoyed good amount of amazing southern California mexican food from family businesses. Our carne asadas from here consisted of seasoned shredded fat. The "burrito" would also be a very loosely defined term here. One positive was nice staff, but one of them was eating a peach behind the counter and there were food scraps scattered on the floor. We were relieved the next day that we didn't get sick from this place.
(1)Spencer S.
Super Taco is rad. It has a dude in a giant sombrero and a Superman "S" on his freakin poncho painted on the window. It's worth coming here just to get a pile of tacos. As of this review they're $1.35 a piece and 4 of them is enough to get you through til dinner without threatening your co-workers with deadly colon bombs. You'll want more, though. You can tell this place is great because 1) despite the tacos being a simple affair of corn tortillas, onions, your choice of meat, and cilantro, they're delicious, and 2) the place fills up with Latinos at lunch time. Since there are only about 8 Latinos in all of Nebraska, that says something. I come here about once per week for tacos, have been for about 6 months, and I look forward to it every time. A little restaurant that can turn a simple taco into awesomeness is worth its weight in gold in ANY city, but especially in a city that has no idea how to do Mexican food. Taco John's, are you kidding me? Frying up a frozen tater-tot and calling it a "Mexi-fry" doesn't make it Mexican. But, I digress. Super Taco's service is friendly and JUST quick enough to be doable for lunch. They take cards, as long as you're buying over $5 worth of food. If you take my 4-taco lunch advice, you're good.
(4)Lisa I.
The best Mexican restaurant in Lincoln if you are looking for authentic Mexican food. It is wonderful. A super nice family runs the place and they are always working so hard. The atmosphere is not great, but the food makes up for it!

We brought a crew in town to work, three mexicans on our crew. They each said it was very good Mexican food from the Mexico City region of Mexico. The beans gave it away - very light colored - they were good. The owner was very friendly and even changed the TV to the football game for us so we did not have to watch telemundo! We travel all over the US working and the food here was as good as it gets. We ate there twice during our stay in Lincoln. I had the steak, the enchiladas, and my crew had the tacos each time. I espicially liked the pico de gallo. It's a little out of the way but worth the drive. This is the only location - the owner told us he shut down the other location.

Super silly name, but accurate. The tacos are super. 4" corn tortillas, doubled and piled high with the most delicious meats, sprinkled with cilantro, and served with a wedge of lime, some pickled onion, and a slice of nopalito (cactus). Do yourself a favor and try a cut you wouldn't ordinarily eat (cabeza, lengua). They are so much better than every boring chicken breast you've ever met. You could make a meal of three (although at $1.35 a piece you might as well spring for a fourth or fifth or...).
(5)Nikki B.
Dangerously craving-inducing. Lincolnites: This food does not taste like not Amigos, Chipotle, or Mazatlan. My friend took me here once for lunch & I keep coming back, because the tacos are delicioso! Friendly service too. Usually crowded with hungry Mexican-Nebraskans wearing work boots at lunch. TIPS: - The tacos are (rightfully) small, so you'll want at LEAST 2 for a lunch. After you taste them, you'll probably want at least 10, actually. - If you prefer to watch TV while you eat, you'll be watching Univision. - If you don't like onion, make it known when you order.

Yummy little tacos! We had two chicken tacos, two carne asada tacos, and a chicken burrito. The tacos come on two small corn tortillas, with meat, cilantro, and onion. Don't skip the salsas - the tomatillo is mild and the red salsa is hot. They are a perfect finish to the meal. The burrito was jam packed with shredded chicken, beans and rice. It was good, but the tacos made the meal. And we fed two people for about ten dollars - a great deal for good food.

my new favorite adobada burrito!
(5)Maggi B.
Excellent food. Variety of choices and wonderfully prepared meats. Had a tongue and pork skin burrito w a spicy peppery red sauce. Plus... Open till 10pm. Perfect for a late night dinner.
(5)Amanda G.
Yes, yes, yes, an authentic taco place in Lincoln! (You can tell because most of the meat choices are things the average American wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.) The chorizo, asada, and chicken tacos are simply sublime and come with strips of nopales (prickly pear) and a little roasted onion on the side--a perfect accompaniment. Perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, and (unlike lots of other places) Super Taco does not amplify flavor with excessive oil. As of today they're open 10-10 and take credit cards for orders over $5 which you will easily reach by scarfing down too many of their $1.35 tacos.

Pineapple Torta is one of the best sandwiches I have had. Super Taco is currently my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lincoln. I just keep going back. I have ventured into the menu several times and come away with a new favorite dish every time.

If you are in the mood for authentic Mexican food, this place in the strip mall at 56th and Holdrege is it. Don't let the name or the location fool you, this place is the real deal.
(5)Chris E.
Amazing tacos, wide variety of fillings to choose from, both accessible (pollo, steak) and authentic (lengua). Also, their tortas are incredible and super-filling. LOVE this place, and I go back as often as I can! Also, their red sauce and green sauce are both other-worldly, no other restaurant in Lincoln can compete with these sauces!
(5)Dave H.
Very good, authentic Mexican food. Very friendly service. Would go again and again.
(3)Janet L.
Just moved to Lincoln and I was a little worried about finding my staple mom-and-pop type ethnic restaurants. Having lived in central Mexico for 2 years, this is the real stuff. My favorite are the Tlacoyos! I've never seen a place in the US (granted - I haven't lived in Texas, etc.) that served Tlacoyos!! So excited. I would say that their cuisine is central Mexico. I also called one day to ask to pick up 18 tacos for a work pot-luck, and people thought they were great. They also serve Nopales! What a GREAT find! It's now my go-to Mexican place in Lincoln.
(5)Luis M.
I'm half-Mexican. I'm from California. This place is truly authentic. I eat the chicken sope practically every single time I come here, and I wash it down with a Mexican Coke. What more need be said? I think a second location may have opened up down on Sun Valley Parkway -- at least, it's called Super Taco II -- but I haven't checked it out.
(4)Mike S.
Tacos are good. Steak meat is burrito tasted like roadkill. Margaritas were horrible with basically no tequila. When we complained she added two more shots and charged 7.00 for it. What a bummer. Charged me 2.50 for the burrito that I sent back. No itemized bill until I asked. No ice in my water. Probably wouldn't go back. 10.50 for one well margarita and not even a buzz.
(2)Jessa J.
Very good, authentic mexican food, especially for Lincoln! The guac was so fresh and very tasty! Loved the street tacos. The tortas also very good. Great service too! I'm a flan fan, and it was just not good so therefore giving the review a 4 instead of a 5 :) I'll be back!
(4)S a.
Super silly name, but accurate. The tacos are super. 4" corn tortillas, doubled and piled high with the most delicious meats, sprinkled with cilantro, and served with a wedge of lime, some pickled onion, and a slice of nopalito (cactus). Do yourself a favor and try a cut you wouldn't ordinarily eat (cabeza, lengua). They are so much better than every boring chicken breast you've ever met. You could make a meal of three (although at $1.35 a piece you might as well spring for a fourth or fifth or...).
(5)Nikki B.
Dangerously craving-inducing. Lincolnites: This food does not taste like not Amigos, Chipotle, or Mazatlan. My friend took me here once for lunch & I keep coming back, because the tacos are delicioso! Friendly service too. Usually crowded with hungry Mexican-Nebraskans wearing work boots at lunch. TIPS: - The tacos are (rightfully) small, so you'll want at LEAST 2 for a lunch. After you taste them, you'll probably want at least 10, actually. - If you prefer to watch TV while you eat, you'll be watching Univision. - If you don't like onion, make it known when you order. They use a lot.

This place was a gem! I had ground beef tacos x 2, my kids had a chicken quesadilla, and my husband had the tamales (lunch special). Everything was really flavorful and well put together. The man who helped us was also very nice. We walked away feeling sufficiently full and ready for another 8 hours driving! The meal was super reasonably priced at $25 including drinks.

(5)Lianna N.
Well...maybe I came at a time that was just too busy or something [they were packed], but we got tucked into the "overflow" part of the restaurant and were constantly forgotten. Forgot our waters, forgot to take our order (we had to go hunt her down), brought my food after a really long wait yet forgot my utensils...list goes on. I didnt try the tacos here which they are famous for...but eh, I'll continue to go to el ray. However, their menu is quite extensive and they serve specialties like menudo on weekends. I would like to go try that!
(3)Rebecca B.
They have the most amazing posole. Even on what might be a 100 degree day, it's worth it! About 2-3 times a month I'm down here (about a 20 min drive) for some posole after a night of drinking. I don't even have to order anymore. The gentleman working just looks at me and says, "posole and water?" Great service, great food!
(4)Jesse H.
I really don't like giving one-star reviews but my experience at Super Taco was anything but super. On our cross-country roadtrip we ended up in Lincoln around lunchtime and found this place via Yelp search. While the storefront turned me off, my boyfriend was determined to give them a fair shot. Not having any idea what to order, I went by pictures and selected a gordita. When asked for a meat choice, I was overwhelmed by the options (three different kinds of pork!) but settled on the seasoned pork. Unfortunately the first thing I noticed on my gordita was a small hair. Then a second one. I scooped them out of the sour cream and pushed forward. However, my first bite disappointed. The shell was like a fried pancake, but not as tasty. The meat was pretty flavorless, and the only other filling was cheese. I snacked on the guac that was served on the side but only made it through less than half of my meal. My boyfriend had much better luck, ordering three tacos, his favorite of which was the taco al pastor. I tasted it and it was a huge improvement from my meal. Other than the food, I was also unsatisfied with the cleanliness. The water glasses looked to be older than me (very chipped) and there was absolutely no soap or paper towels in the women's restroom. I just hope the men were cooking.
(1)Sam K.
I wish this place was in a bigger location - not because I mind going to it but because it is so easily overlooked and not many people seem to know about it! This place is GOOD. I could talk for hours about the steak burrito I had. And you can see the staff making your food not too far way from you, and you can tell it's fresh, not frozen. Triple A-plus!
(4)Jill S.
I cannot believe I haven't been here earlier. Excellent, authentic and delicious food. I highly recommend the tamales. Friendly staff provide superb service and all at a reasonable price.
(5)Jeff G.
This is simply the best Mexican food in the area! If you haven't been to Super Taco yet...do yourself a favor and come in. The Sope and Tacos are absolutely fantastic!
(5)Christina B.
This place is awesome! I love getting the mini tacos they are priced pretty cheap and great quality. I love that they have tripe it is rare because people are scared to try it but it is yummy and they cook it just right. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home and they seem very nice. Only problem was rice seemed to lack flavor but other than that great place I would recommend to anyone!!
(4)Mega S.
I tried the carne asada tacos and the horchata. It was drier than I expected but okay. I prefer the other Mexican restaurant El Chrappo or Chaparro.
(3)Mark F.
Packed and I know why! Hawaiian Torta was outstanding! Prices were unbelievable for the quality. It is a keeper for Lincoln!
(5)James S.
Not a bad place to eat. Drove past it the first time thinking it was a stand-alone restaurant, but its in a strip mall and parking can be almost non nonexistent at times. Service was fairly fast. Food was pretty good, a lot of it home made right on the spot. The green sauce is very much like a bell pepper sauce and the hot was good as well. The lettuce and tomato in the taco salad wasn't watery or soggy. Very crisp and fresh. My only complaint is that they do not have a soda fountain. Everything it out of bottles, which again isn't too bad, but the wait staff never came around to see if I wanted a refill. The wait for the check took a long time too. Other than that, very good.
(2)Jerry W.
I've been looking for quite sometime the taste of good Mexican food. I found it here. There food tastes great and for a good price. Carna asada that is so delicious topped perfectly with cilantro and onions. If you like good tacos this is the place to go.
(4)B P.
Seriously some great stuff. Best place between a cash advance store and ace rent to own that I have ever eaten at.
(4)Fazle H.
This was the best Mexican place i have been too, and i rarely give 5 stars. The carne asada was grilled just right and had the right amount of fat on it, the menudo was a new item so i had to try it, it was beef tripe in a spicy broth. It will great eats in the winter.
(5)Lori C.
Surprisingly good. I didn't expect to find anything I liked here but really enjoyed the quesadillas. The nachos are not that great as the cheese is really bland.
(3)Seth M.
My hero Super Taco allows me to sleep well at night knowing someone in Lincoln is producing delicious tacos.
(4)Shain W.
I just moved here from Arizona (the heart of Mexican food) and I was extremely happy with the food. The adobada and carne tacos were tender and flavorful. The sauces were fantastic as well! The only reason I didn't rate it five stars was because the service could've been a little better. I will definitely be back.
(4)Carmen E.
The best Mexican in Lincoln! Taco lovers rejoice! If you love beef try out the lengua taco or burrito, both are delicious and a great value. El pastor is also an excellent choice. The meals will definitely fill you up. Next door (but part of the same store) is a dessert shop with awesome Popsicles in fruit flavors I've never heard of, but if you ask for a certain flavor, sweet for example, they'll pick you out a flavor that will blow your mind.
(5)Abigael N.
This place is not very good. I ordered the carne aside burrito while my boyfriend ordered a carne aside taco. Overall, the quality of the meat was horrendous (but still edible) and did not taste like any other carne aside I have ever tried. They did not offer chips like many other mexican restaurants do. The price wasn't too bad, but the taste in general was not good. Would never come back. Staff was nice though.
(2)Mike D.
I had to come back to Yelp and write my first review just to boast about how good this place is. Being from Omaha, I am in no shortage of great taco places down on 24th Street. Fortunately for us, Ken B. and I were in town for a concert and decided to stop here before the show with a couple others. Let me say, this is a typical looking taco place in the Midwest, not run down but not somewhere your average person is going to decide to eat just to check it out. We were a little confused as the one side has ice cream/deserts but is actually part of Super Taco still. We sat down and were promptly addressed by our server. She was fantastic and for the most part understood what we were saying/ordering. She was slightly surprised when we ordered Lengua, Tripa, and Cabenza tacos. My order (at first) was of 2 tacos lengua and 2 tacos al pastor with a large horchata. The horchata was great, not overly sweet and had a great rice flavor to it. The lengua was cooked well, not the greatest I've ever had but still delicious. I always order with just cilantro and no onions and they didn't overdo it on the cilantro because of that. The tacos al pastor were by far the greatest tacos al pastor I have ever eaten. Out of the multitude of taquerias in Omaha no where came close to Super Taco. I ended up ordering 3 more by the time we left. It was cooked perfectly so it was crisp on the outside but the meat was soft and tender with an amazing flavor of the marinade they used as well as pineapple! I make it my goal to come here every time I visit Lincoln, if you love real tacos, you need to check this place out.
(5)Kenny N.
Ha! Clearly at Super Taco, you should only order the tacos. My girlfriend's gordita came replete with two hairs and funky pancakey taste. The womens restroom also didn't have paper towels. Anyway, I probably should have given her some advice. The tacos were really tasty especially the al pastor. The chicarrones were a little chewier than I'm used to. Just order the tacos here.
(3)Will N.
I love eating here for lunch, the days I have class on East Campus. Tacos and guacamole are my "go to." Clean restaurant and friendly staff.
(4)John I.
I enjoyed this place. The food was GREAT. The Owner was very nice and was fun to talk with. The super platter tasted great. The prices are good. And the food will FILL you up!
(5)Josh H.
This place is the best. The tacos are amazing. Al pastor is second to none, but the milanesa and cecina rock. I'm still working my way through the other tacos.
(5)Nate R.
True authentic Mexican! This place is the best in Lincoln and the staff are very nice. They remember how and what I ordered after a couple visits.
(5)Sarah G.
I had a dream about Super Taco the other night... probably caused me to drool a little on my pillow. Mmm, I'll have the Tacos Al Pastor... zzzzzzz. Food worth dreaming about, I surrendered myself to the taco bliss and let the friendly young lady who took our order pick out my lunch. Ended up with 2 chicken, 1 carne asada and 1 pork steak and pineapple masterpiece. Served with red and green hot sauce I couldn't get enough of, this was dining perfection. As I stuffed the last delicious morsels in my mouth I wondered out loud how many of these little beauties I could eat in a sitting. Four was definitely enough for a workday lunch, but even when we were done and comfortably full I still wanted more (which probably brought on the taco-inspired dream).
(5)Scott S.
Straight hot fire! I get there lengua tacos every time, I find myself craving these things throughout the week. The name of the restaurant kind of sounds cheesy and generic. It's located right down the street from my apartment and my brother finally got me to try it and I've been addicted ever since. Super Taco definitely delivers when it comes to authentic Mexican flavor.
(5)Cass A.
This is a great place to grab a quick bite. Though the place is not super fancy, it's not a dive either and was super clean. The service was super friendly and fast. The food was real good. Good sized portions with good flavors and nicely platted. The burritos are large and very tasty. Definitely worth stoppin in!!
(4)Christi R.
Super Taco is one of the best restaurants in Lincoln. The location is a little off-putting but it is right near my house, so I decided to check it out. It was great. It is a family-run business and all of the workers are extremely friendly (particularly the daughter and the male owner!). They remembered my order the second time I went in there.
(5)Katie F.
Extremely cheap and fast food. The customer service is excellent. I had both the grilled beef tacos and the al pastor tacos. I dig the la pastor tacos. Speaking of tacos, if you are looking for the American cheese filled, ground beef, crunchy tortilla taco, this is not the place for you. From what I understand, it's authentic Mexican, but I can't verify that because I have never had authentic Mexican. My boyfriend had the enchilada platter and he really liked it. It was topped in mozzarella and I can confirm that it was delicious. The place is divey, but definitely someplace I would go back to for lunch.
(4)Kendall R.
Wasn't impressed. Not enough flavor for me. Was surprised by the beans, was not expecting what looked and tasted like white beans mashed up. Very disappointed.
(1)steve h.
Fresh homemade tacos. Very yummy. I read one of the other reviewers complain that they don't have fountain drinks. That is because they import a lot of their drinks from Mexico. That means you can get real coke made with cane sugar and not corn syrup. Check it out.
(5)Meka A.
BEST LEGIT MEXICAN FOOD IN LINCOLN! The food is amazing and the prices always surprise me for the quality and quantity. I usually get specially made steak burrito and it's never made incorrectly, always on point! sometimes I'll splurge and get their ice cream which is pretty awesome, especially since it's just next door. the staff is just as good as there food. It's family owned, the owners and there daughters are usually there working WITH a smile! you can tell they love what they do. They always make me laugh and are always welcoming. I honestly can't recommend a better Mexican restaurant. Also I love how they have photos for their food.
(5)Andrea A.
Never even got the chance to eat here! We called because we were thinking about having a district dinner here for work. When I called I told them that I needed some information I was flabbergasted by the response from the employee "I don't have any information I'm just an employee" and then was HUNG UP ON! I called back in frustration to ask to speak to a manager, same employee answered the phone and when I asked to speak to a manager the response was even worse"I don't have a manger." and then was hung up on AGAIN! I now REFUSE to eat here, even if they have the best food on the planet. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
(1)Michael A.
its good, great service
(4)King B.
I cannot say enough good things about the place. Wonderful owners, affordable prices, friendly (and beautiful) waitresses, and their El Pastor tacos are amazing! Yes the place could use some new booths and on occasion the side orders are not hot enough, but I am hooked regardless.
(4)Brittany S.
I have never been disappointed eating here! The staff are fantastic bilingual for me and my husband. The asada (steak) is so good and never fatty I am very picky about that! Everything in the menu is better than the picture and completely filling. I recommend this place as often as possible!!!
(5)Spencer S.
Super Taco is rad. It has a dude in a giant sombrero and a Superman "S" on his freakin poncho painted on the window. It's worth coming here just to get a pile of tacos. As of this review they're $1.35 a piece and 4 of them is enough to get you through til dinner without threatening your co-workers with deadly colon bombs. You'll want more, though. You can tell this place is great because 1) despite the tacos being a simple affair of corn tortillas, onions, your choice of meat, and cilantro, they're delicious, and 2) the place fills up with Latinos at lunch time. Since there are only about 8 Latinos in all of Nebraska, that says something. I come here about once per week for tacos, have been for about 6 months, and I look forward to it every time. A little restaurant that can turn a simple taco into awesomeness is worth its weight in gold in ANY city, but especially in a city that has no idea how to do Mexican food. Taco John's, are you kidding me? Frying up a frozen tater-tot and calling it a "Mexi-fry" doesn't make it Mexican. But, I digress. Super Taco's service is friendly and JUST quick enough to be doable for lunch. They take cards, as long as you're buying over $5 worth of food. If you take my 4-taco lunch advice, you're good.
(4)Lisa I.
The best Mexican restaurant in Lincoln if you are looking for authentic Mexican food. It is wonderful. A super nice family runs the place and they are always working so hard. The atmosphere is not great, but the food makes up for it!
(5)Roy H.
We brought a crew in town to work, three mexicans on our crew. They each said it was very good Mexican food from the Mexico City region of Mexico. The beans gave it away - very light colored - they were good. The owner was very friendly and even changed the TV to the football game for us so we did not have to watch telemundo! We travel all over the US working and the food here was as good as it gets. We ate there twice during our stay in Lincoln. I had the steak, the enchiladas, and my crew had the tacos each time. I espicially liked the pico de gallo. It's a little out of the way but worth the drive. This is the only location - the owner told us he shut down the other location.
(5)Angie W.
Super Taco is fabulous! My husband and I go at least once a week, and the steak tacos can't be beat. The meat is so unbelievably flavorful and, unlike other Mexican joints in town (aka D'Leon's), it is tender, not greasy, and not covered in slop (i.e. guac, cheese, and pico). Instead, there is just some cilantro, onions, and lime. I also recommend the salsa verde, which is really tasty. My mom has also had the chorizo burrito, which was excellent as well.
(5)Ms G.
Disgusting. From reading other yelp reviews, I suspect we were served other people's food scraps. Let me be fair and say we previously enjoyed good amount of amazing southern California mexican food from family businesses. Our carne asadas from here consisted of seasoned shredded fat. The "burrito" would also be a very loosely defined term here. One positive was nice staff, but one of them was eating a peach behind the counter and there were food scraps scattered on the floor. We were relieved the next day that we didn't get sick from this place.
(1)Amanda G.
Yes, yes, yes, an authentic taco place in Lincoln! (You can tell because most of the meat choices are things the average American wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.) The chorizo, asada, and chicken tacos are simply sublime and come with strips of nopales (prickly pear) and a little roasted onion on the side--a perfect accompaniment. Perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, and (unlike lots of other places) Super Taco does not amplify flavor with excessive oil. As of today they're open 10-10 and take credit cards for orders over $5 which you will easily reach by scarfing down too many of their $1.35 tacos.

Don't skip the salsas - the tomatillo is mild and the red salsa is hot. They are a perfect finish to the meal. The burrito was jam packed with shredded chicken, beans and rice. It was good, but the tacos made the meal. And we fed two people for about ten dollars - a great deal for good food.

Not having any idea what to order, I went by pictures and selected a gordita. When asked for a meat choice, I was overwhelmed by the options (three different kinds of pork!) but settled on the seasoned pork. Unfortunately the first thing I noticed on my gordita was a small hair. Then a second one. I scooped them out of the sour cream and pushed forward. However, my first bite disappointed. The shell was like a fried pancake, but not as tasty. The meat was pretty flavorless, and the only other filling was cheese. I snacked on the guac that was served on the side but only made it through less than half of my meal. My boyfriend had much better luck, ordering three tacos, his favorite of which was the taco al pastor. I tasted it and it was a huge improvement from my meal. Other than the food, I was also unsatisfied with the cleanliness. The water glasses looked to be older than me (very chipped) and there was absolutely no soap or paper towels in the women's restroom. I just hope the men were cooking.

I wish this place was in a bigger location - not because I mind going to it but because it is so easily overlooked and not many people seem to know about it! This place is GOOD. I could talk for hours about the steak burrito I had. And you can see the staff making your food not too far way from you, and you can tell it's fresh, not frozen. Triple A-plus!

I cannot believe I haven't been here earlier. Excellent, authentic and delicious food. I highly recommend the tamales. Friendly staff provide superb service and all at a reasonable price.

This is simply the best Mexican food in the area! If you haven't been to Super Taco yet...do yourself a favor and come in. The Sope and Tacos are absolutely fantastic!
(5)Christina B.
This place is awesome! I love getting the mini tacos they are priced pretty cheap and great quality. I love that they have tripe it is rare because people are scared to try it but it is yummy and they cook it just right. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home and they seem very nice. Only problem was rice seemed to lack flavor but other than that great place I would recommend to anyone!!

I tried the carne asada tacos and the horchata. It was drier than I expected but okay. I prefer the other Mexican restaurant El Chrappo or Chaparro.
(3)James S.
Not a bad place to eat. Drove past it the first time thinking it was a stand-alone restaurant, but its in a strip mall and parking can be almost non nonexistent at times. Service was fairly fast. Food was pretty good, a lot of it home made right on the spot. The green sauce is very much like a bell pepper sauce and the hot was good as well. The lettuce and tomato in the taco salad wasn't watery or soggy. Very crisp and fresh. My only complaint is that they do not have a soda fountain. Everything it out of bottles, which again isn't too bad, but the wait staff never came around to see if I wanted a refill. The wait for the check took a long time too. Other than that, very good.

Packed and I know why! Hawaiian Torta was outstanding! Prices were unbelievable for the quality. It is a keeper for Lincoln!
(5)B P.
Seriously some great stuff. Best place between a cash advance store and ace rent to own that I have ever eaten at.
(4)Jerry W.
I've been looking for quite sometime the taste of good Mexican food. I found it here. There food tastes great and for a good price. Carna asada that is so delicious topped perfectly with cilantro and onions. If you like good tacos this is the place to go.
(4)Fazle H.
This was the best Mexican place i have been too, and i rarely give 5 stars. The carne asada was grilled just right and had the right amount of fat on it, the menudo was a new item so i had to try it, it was beef tripe in a spicy broth. It will great eats in the winter.
(5)Lori C.
Surprisingly good. I didn't expect to find anything I liked here but really enjoyed the quesadillas. The nachos are not that great as the cheese is really bland.
(3)Seth M.
My hero Super Taco allows me to sleep well at night knowing someone in Lincoln is producing delicious tacos.
(4)Shain W.
I just moved here from Arizona (the heart of Mexican food) and I was extremely happy with the food. The adobada and carne tacos were tender and flavorful. The sauces were fantastic as well! The only reason I didn't rate it five stars was because the service could've been a little better. I will definitely be back.
(4)Carmen E.
The best Mexican in Lincoln! Taco lovers rejoice! If you love beef try out the lengua taco or burrito, both are delicious and a great value. El pastor is also an excellent choice. The meals will definitely fill you up. Next door (but part of the same store) is a dessert shop with awesome Popsicles in fruit flavors I've never heard of, but if you ask for a certain flavor, sweet for example, they'll pick you out a flavor that will blow your mind.
(5)Abigael N.
This place is not very good. I ordered the carne aside burrito while my boyfriend ordered a carne aside taco. Overall, the quality of the meat was horrendous (but still edible) and did not taste like any other carne aside I have ever tried. They did not offer chips like many other mexican restaurants do. The price wasn't too bad, but the taste in general was not good. Would never come back. Staff was nice though.

I had to come back to Yelp and write my first review just to boast about how good this place is. Being from Omaha, I am in no shortage of great taco places down on 24th Street. Fortunately for us, Ken B. and I were in town for a concert and decided to stop here before the show with a couple others. Let me say, this is a typical looking taco place in the Midwest, not run down but not somewhere your average person is going to decide to eat just to check it out. We were a little confused as the one side has ice cream/deserts but is actually part of Super Taco still. We sat down and were promptly addressed by our server. She was fantastic and for the most part understood what we were saying/ordering. She was slightly surprised when we ordered Lengua, Tripa, and Cabenza tacos. My order (at first) was of 2 tacos lengua and 2 tacos al pastor with a large horchata. The horchata was great, not overly sweet and had a great rice flavor to it. The lengua was cooked well, not the greatest I've ever had but still delicious. I always order with just cilantro and no onions and they didn't overdo it on the cilantro because of that. The tacos al pastor were by far the greatest tacos al pastor I have ever eaten. Out of the multitude of taquerias in Omaha no where came close to Super Taco. I ended up ordering 3 more by the time we left. It was cooked perfectly so it was crisp on the outside but the meat was soft and tender with an amazing flavor of the marinade they used as well as pineapple! I make it my goal to come here every time I visit Lincoln, if you love real tacos, you need to check this place out.
(5)Kenny N.
Ha! Clearly at Super Taco, you should only order the tacos. My girlfriend's gordita came replete with two hairs and funky pancakey taste. The womens restroom also didn't have paper towels. Anyway, I probably should have given her some advice. The tacos were really tasty especially the al pastor. The chicarrones were a little chewier than I'm used to. Just order the tacos here.
(3)Will N.
I love eating here for lunch, the days I have class on East Campus. Tacos and guacamole are my "go to." Clean restaurant and friendly staff.
(4)John I.
I enjoyed this place. The food was GREAT. The Owner was very nice and was fun to talk with. The super platter tasted great. The prices are good. And the food will FILL you up!
(5)Josh H.
This place is the best. The tacos are amazing. Al pastor is second to none, but the milanesa and cecina rock. I'm still working my way through the other tacos.
(5)Nate R.
True authentic Mexican! This place is the best in Lincoln and the staff are very nice. They remember how and what I ordered after a couple visits.
(5)Sarah G.
I had a dream about Super Taco the other night... probably caused me to drool a little on my pillow. Mmm, I'll have the Tacos Al Pastor... zzzzzzz. Food worth dreaming about, I surrendered myself to the taco bliss and let the friendly young lady who took our order pick out my lunch. Ended up with 2 chicken, 1 carne asada and 1 pork steak and pineapple masterpiece. Served with red and green hot sauce I couldn't get enough of, this was dining perfection. As I stuffed the last delicious morsels in my mouth I wondered out loud how many of these little beauties I could eat in a sitting. Four was definitely enough for a workday lunch, but even when we were done and comfortably full I still wanted more (which probably brought on the taco-inspired dream).
(5)Scott S.
Straight hot fire! I get there lengua tacos every time, I find myself craving these things throughout the week. The name of the restaurant kind of sounds cheesy and generic. It's located right down the street from my apartment and my brother finally got me to try it and I've been addicted ever since. Super Taco definitely delivers when it comes to authentic Mexican flavor.
(5)Cass A.
This is a great place to grab a quick bite. Though the place is not super fancy, it's not a dive either and was super clean. The service was super friendly and fast. The food was real good. Good sized portions with good flavors and nicely platted. The burritos are large and very tasty. Definitely worth stoppin in!!
(4)Christi R.
Super Taco is one of the best restaurants in Lincoln. The location is a little off-putting but it is right near my house, so I decided to check it out. It was great. It is a family-run business and all of the workers are extremely friendly (particularly the daughter and the male owner!). They remembered my order the second time I went in there.
(5)Katie F.
Extremely cheap and fast food. The customer service is excellent. I had both the grilled beef tacos and the al pastor tacos. I dig the la pastor tacos. Speaking of tacos, if you are looking for the American cheese filled, ground beef, crunchy tortilla taco, this is not the place for you. From what I understand, it's authentic Mexican, but I can't verify that because I have never had authentic Mexican. My boyfriend had the enchilada platter and he really liked it. It was topped in mozzarella and I can confirm that it was delicious. The place is divey, but definitely someplace I would go back to for lunch.
(4)Kendall R.
Wasn't impressed. Not enough flavor for me. Was surprised by the beans, was not expecting what looked and tasted like white beans mashed up. Very disappointed.
(1)steve h.
Fresh homemade tacos. Very yummy. I read one of the other reviewers complain that they don't have fountain drinks. That is because they import a lot of their drinks from Mexico. That means you can get real coke made with cane sugar and not corn syrup. Check it out.
(5)Meka A.
BEST LEGIT MEXICAN FOOD IN LINCOLN! The food is amazing and the prices always surprise me for the quality and quantity. I usually get specially made steak burrito and it's never made incorrectly, always on point! sometimes I'll splurge and get their ice cream which is pretty awesome, especially since it's just next door. the staff is just as good as there food. It's family owned, the owners and there daughters are usually there working WITH a smile! you can tell they love what they do. They always make me laugh and are always welcoming. I honestly can't recommend a better Mexican restaurant. Also I love how they have photos for their food.
(5)Andrea A.
Never even got the chance to eat here! We called because we were thinking about having a district dinner here for work. When I called I told them that I needed some information I was flabbergasted by the response from the employee "I don't have any information I'm just an employee" and then was HUNG UP ON! I called back in frustration to ask to speak to a manager, same employee answered the phone and when I asked to speak to a manager the response was even worse"I don't have a manger." and then was hung up on AGAIN! I now REFUSE to eat here, even if they have the best food on the planet. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
(1)Michael A.
its good, great service
(4)King B.
I cannot say enough good things about the place. Wonderful owners, affordable prices, friendly (and beautiful) waitresses, and their El Pastor tacos are amazing! Yes the place could use some new booths and on occasion the side orders are not hot enough, but I am hooked regardless.
(4)Brittany S.
I have never been disappointed eating here! The staff are fantastic bilingual for me and my husband. The asada (steak) is so good and never fatty I am very picky about that! Everything in the menu is better than the picture and completely filling. I recommend this place as often as possible!!!
(5)Angie W.
Super Taco is fabulous! My husband and I go at least once a week, and the steak tacos can't be beat. The meat is so unbelievably flavorful and, unlike other Mexican joints in town (aka D'Leon's), it is tender, not greasy, and not covered in slop (i.e. guac, cheese, and pico). Instead, there is just some cilantro, onions, and lime. I also recommend the salsa verde, which is really tasty. My mom has also had the chorizo burrito, which was excellent as well.
(5)Ms G.
Disgusting. From reading other yelp reviews, I suspect we were served other people's food scraps. Let me be fair and say we previously enjoyed good amount of amazing southern California mexican food from family businesses. Our carne asadas from here consisted of seasoned shredded fat. The "burrito" would also be a very loosely defined term here. One positive was nice staff, but one of them was eating a peach behind the counter and there were food scraps scattered on the floor. We were relieved the next day that we didn't get sick from this place.

Super Taco is rad. It has a dude in a giant sombrero and a Superman "S" on his freakin poncho painted on the window. It's worth coming here just to get a pile of tacos. As of this review they're $1.35 a piece and 4 of them is enough to get you through til dinner without threatening your co-workers with deadly colon bombs. You'll want more, though. You can tell this place is great because 1) despite the tacos being a simple affair of corn tortillas, onions, your choice of meat, and cilantro, they're delicious, and 2) the place fills up with Latinos at lunch time. Since there are only about 8 Latinos in all of Nebraska, that says something. I come here about once per week for tacos, have been for about 6 months, and I look forward to it every time. A little restaurant that can turn a simple taco into awesomeness is worth its weight in gold in ANY city, but especially in a city that has no idea how to do Mexican food. Taco John's, are you kidding me? Frying up a frozen tater-tot and calling it a "Mexi-fry" doesn't make it Mexican. But, I digress. Super Taco's service is friendly and JUST quick enough to be doable for lunch. They take cards, as long as you're buying over $5 worth of food. If you take my 4-taco lunch advice, you're good.
(4)Lisa I.
The best Mexican restaurant in Lincoln if you are looking for authentic Mexican food. It is wonderful. A super nice family runs the place and they are always working so hard. The atmosphere is not great, but the food makes up for it!
(5)Brett W.
I had a couple of buddies introduce me to this place and I am glad they did. The staff is wonderful and the food is great. We have stopped in few times towards the end of there shifts and they still go up over an beyond to do a great job. It is a great restaurant!
(5)Jonette W.
Okay, so I read that some dude was crapping on this place because of a friggin Margarita..... well, to be honest this is your typical "pappas and beer" kind of place like you find in Downtown LA, Tijuana, Ensenada...etc... If you want good, authentic Pappas and Beer, go here... if you want your hoity toity margarita, then I would go to Carlos O Kelly's or something, seriously because this isn't really a Margarita sort of place and anyone who walks through the front door would be able to figure that out. I grew up in the LA area and did my fair share of camping in Mexico on the bluffs in Ensenada....and I can tell you, this is pretty much the closest you will get to the real authentic Mexican street taco, here in Nebraska. I used to really miss these little gems and would pig out on them every visit to CA, but now I found Super Taco and now....I pig out on them a couple times a week! I'll admit, I haven't had anything else here but my fiance had the flautas and...well he was a little disappointed because they were taquitos (corn tortillas instead of the flour)...but I still say its a great place :)

We brought a crew in town to work, three mexicans on our crew. They each said it was very good Mexican food from the Mexico City region of Mexico. The beans gave it away - very light colored - they were good. The owner was very friendly and even changed the TV to the football game for us so we did not have to watch telemundo! We travel all over the US working and the food here was as good as it gets. We ate there twice during our stay in Lincoln. I had the steak, the enchiladas, and my crew had the tacos each time. I espicially liked the pico de gallo. It's a little out of the way but worth the drive. This is the only location - the owner told us he shut down the other location.

I had written a review for the Sun Valley location, but I'm pretty sure this location has closed. I have tried to go several times and the place has been locked up. I have absolutely no problem making the trek to this one though, because Super Taco is amazing. It has become my favorite place to go for the real deal Mexican food I so often crave. Their meats here are so delicious. You can get all kinds of stuff you can't find at your typical Mexican restaurant (tongue, cheek, stomach) along with much of the usual stuff and it's all good. On my last visit I had Tlacoyo which had incredible beans, seasonings, crema, and queso fresco and I of course had to add one of their fantastic Mexican tacos on the side (my meat of choice being Adobada-a delicious marinated pork). My boyfriend got a burrito with steak that was huge and also incredibly delicious. All this wonderful food rang it at about $13, so you really can't beat the price. Their traditional Mexican tacos are $1.35 a piece so order a few and make a meal out of it or tack one or two on to one of their many other menu options. Either way, you gotta try these little babies. They also have liquor drinks and many Mexican beers to compliment your meal, and many desert options if you're in need of a bit of something sweet to finish it all off. They also take all major credit cards (with a $5 minimum I believe) and add to that their friendly, informative and fast service. This place is great. Give them a try and I'm pretty sure you'll feel the same.
(5)Charles G.
BOOM! I got 2 tacos al pastor and 2 carne asada, they were both awesome, plenty of onion and cilantro and lime, plus their hot sauce was great! This place is as good as my favorite taco place in Phoenix, and in my opinion nothing else needs to be said.
(5)Dan C.
I asked an Hispanic friend to recommend a restaurant in Lincoln, I don't speak enough Spanish anymore to understand what transpired between my friend and the 2 or 3 other Spanish speaking folks in the group but the consensus was Super Taco. I tried it today and it was killer!!!!! I lived in Tucson for a few years so I was kind of thinking that it would be an American interpretation of what Mexican cuisine should be like. I was wrong, the Norteno cuisine I loved in Tucson is alive and well here! The "kick" doesn't come from the food, it comes from the salsa you choose to add to the food. This is a gem in a strip mall in the middle of Nebraska. Whoulda thought?
(5)Ted C.
Service was quick and courteous. Food was great an reasonably priced. Don't let the name or the strip mall location fool you: this is good Mexican food. The carne asada was Awesome.
(5)Alyssia H.
This place was a gem! I had ground beef tacos x 2, my kids had a chicken quesadilla, and my husband had the tamales (lunch special). Everything was really flavorful and well put together. The man who helped us was also very nice. We walked away feeling sufficiently full and ready for another 8 hours driving! The meal was super reasonably priced at $25 including drinks.
(5)Daryl T.
We found another little Mexican restaurant tucked away in a small strip mall and gas station. I knew this place was going to be good when I saw a number of hispanics at the same restaurant. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the staff. The restaurant lacks ambience but makes up for it in friendly service and tasty food. The decoration is very nondescript. I had the chicken taco salad. A deep fried flour tortilla bowl with a generous amount of chicken. They brought out their own concoction of hot sauce which had some heat and was tasty, My wife had the enchiladas platter with rice and beans and all was good. My son (the human vacuum) had a burrito which he devoured in like 4 bites. Our girls had kids meals which they both finished. My three year old did not get her meal until about 7-10 minutes after we got ours. You know how tough that is on a 3 year old. That was my only complaint. If anything would like th kids served first as it takes them longer to eat and they get upset thinking they are not getting a meal like everyone else. I liked it, food was really good, the owners were very friendly and it wasn't too pricey.
