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 ordered one of their yummy sounding sandwiches, but wasn't sure I'd like it so I also ordered three tacos, just in case the sandwich didn't measure up to my liking. Well it turned out I liked the sandwich much, much more than the tacos, which I shared with my dinning companion. I would never order the tacos again, but I will be back again and again for the delicious beef and cheese sandwich, with it's yummy sauce. Sandwich ++++ Service ++++ Décor and atmosphere, not so great --

Taqueria Paisa was first on my list of my taco truck tasting review. The taco truck is usually located Friday and Saturday nights at 42nd and L sts. They are parked in the front corner of a parking lot of a tire business. Initial smells coming from the truck were mouthwatering, a good sign. Quick visual of inside the truck, I looked in to check as much as I could and it looked clean. ( I try always to do this in restaurants and food trucks.) Items ordered 1 burrito de carne asada 1 taco al pastor 1 taco de chorizo con carne asada 2 tacos de lengua 1 medium agua de horchata Along with two different salsas Salsa verde and salsa de chipotle Cost was about $13 for everything. Lime slices were provided along with radish slices. The tacos were fairly tasty except for the chorizo and asada taco meat was very dry. The tacos de lengua were actually very moist and tasty. The burrito, which included black beans, some mexican cheese and the meat was rather good except for a few chewy meat parts. The salsas were alright kind of weak in the flavor department. The best out of the two was the salsa verde. The agua de horchata was ok Customer service was great! On a scale of 1 to 10 With 1 being yuk and a 10 being pretty damn close to what mi abuela makes( my grandmother) I give this place a 6 1/2 Would I go to this TT again, yes.

Apparently I really missed out by not trying the chorizo tacos... so that'll definitely be on my 'to do' list next time we dine here. Also for next time, they apparently have a cactus taco that's to die for. So many tacos, so little time. This was the third stop on our taco tour (fourth total if you count the stop at International Bakery), and I'm really waffling about whether this was my #1 or #2 of the day (and probably Omaha taquerÃas in general). But lucky for me, I don't need to make that decision right now because I can just give both of them 5 stars. I had one al pastor taco and one suadero (rose meat), which is a thin cut of beef from the brisket noted for having a 'smooth texture rather than a muscle grain'. While I normally like to disassociate my food descriptions from the animals they once were, it seemed important here because 'rose meat' isn't something you see everyday. I will also say it was delicious. For someone looking into a first foray into 24th street taco action, I would think this is a good first stop.

Finally made it in here a few days ago. I was driving down 24th Street doing a little "research" for the upcoming Taco Tour and I decided I should finally try this place. The service was very friendly (and good english if that kind of thing matters to you). I went with three Tacos El Pastor - it was the perfect amount and they were delicious. Served as the normally are, the only thing missing was the chunk of grilled onion and the grilled jalapeno that you get at some places. However the meat was so good here that it made up for it. I just don't see how anybody can drive by those rotating piles of pork and not stop!

We were welcomed by a guy who was really nice, given a menu in Spanish and one in English. Menu is not extensive by no means. What was cultural (maybe or something) was that our served spoke zero English so the guy who seated us had to translate. It kind of made us feel weird, like we were invading or something. It was a nice place.

As a born-and-bred Mexican (from Monterrey, NL), I can vouch for the authentic taste of this establishment's Tacos Al Pastor (otherwise known as tacos del trompo). The flavor is preeeeety darn close to what I grew up with; the portions are spot-on as are the garnishings (cilantro, lime, diced onions, hot sauce, and pineapple chunks; order your tacos "con todo"/"with everything"). Tacos Al Pastor are this taqueria's specialty, so when we invite people to dine with us here, we do not let them stray (although, I'm sure everything else on the menu is also quite tasty). This taqueria would've received a 5-star rating from me had the staff been a little bit friendlier, and the tables not so dingy and greasy. The booster seat was disgusting, too, unfortunately (and they only seem to have one??? Crazy, considering how many families we see eating here). Overall though, it's worth the trip from West O to get our taco fix.

Not sure my fellow diners from the afternoon would agree with me, since there were one or two other really good stops on our trip, but in my humble opinion this was the best of the taquerias we visited for one simple reason: the chorizo tacos. Holy mother of wow, talk about delicious! The chorizo is made on-site, which is evidently something that many other places in the area cannot boast. They were also one of the few places (if not the only one) to offer suadero (rose meat) tacos, which are made with the top portion of the beef, right below the skin. Very good eats. The dining room is more like a dining hallway, which is to say space is limited at best. But the place is clean, the windows let a lot of light in and the air conditioning works wonders. The next time my friends or family want tacos, this place will be my first recommendation.

I visited here the other day based on news from the recent taco tour I couldn't attend. And honestly, the tacos were basic taco truck fare. Sure, it's good, but Taqueria Tijuana and Jalapeno bury the place on tacos. Even San Luis serves a better taco. But to me, this place is really all about the sandwiches. The torta menu is large and varied, and the tortas themselves are big, sloppy and delicious. I'll be back for sure, but I'm gettin' me one o' them sandwiches!

Four words: yummy tummy taco coma. My husband went here yesterday as a part of Taco Walk and he couldn't stop talking about it. So we decided to go back today, just so he could share in the wonder that is Taqueria el Paisa. It was pretty freaking good. I had tacos of the Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Asada variety and also tried the Chuceta (???) Beef's cheek tacos. For those of you that are more adventurous they also offer tripe and tongue. The tacos all came with tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. No cheese, but you didn't even miss it. The tortillas were warm and soft, the meat ubber tender and flavorful, and at a a buck or so a piece- a great deal. Be warned, they look TINY, like the size of your palm and you think that a couple won't fill you up but you would be wrong. I had 4 and was stuffed. So unless you are just a huge eater or have a hollow leg, stick to 3 or 4. There are a variety (I mean 3) different sauces to top your taco with (red, yellow, and green). The yellow is quite hot I am told (didn't try it myself) but the green and red add nice flavor with a bit of kick. The restaraunt is small but the service is good. The one girl they had working today did a great job with all the customers (dine in and take out) and even got us a 2nd round of tacos half way thru our meal. They also bring out chips and salsa (so good). The menu has other 'non-taco' offerings but I can't comment on those.

The only thing that could have made this experience better would have been outdoor seating and a few margaritas! Thanks to Sarah G. we had a good list of recommended Taquerias to choose from...but this was one of her favorites! We loved the quaint size of this place. There was no one to greet us at first, but we found a table and menus. Oh, the menu choices...tortillas soup, tortas, tacos, oh my! I had a list of recommended tacos and they all were wonderful! I would recommend the tacos pastor, cactus + cheese + meat tacos. , lengua (tongue). The sauces and lime to accompany them were spot on. The chips serves first were a little stale, but the salsa was great! My co worker had the Cubana Torta, and I thought he might die of happiness at the table. I knew he was sold when the guy mentioned deep fried hot dog... The owner/cook came out to chat with us, He was super friendly and helpful, explaining the process in Mexico City they use to cook beef tongue :) seriously, it was super tender! Don't knock it til you try it. We headed over to check out the Mexican Pottery place next door, then discussed WHY in the hell Omaha keeps voting La mesa for best Mexican food in town, when it clearly sucks compared to the delicious fare in South Omaha.

I've had food from here three times and have not be impressed any of the times. This last time was the worst by far though. I got a chorizo burrito and it was awful. The chorizo was so over cooked, it was hard dry little pebbles. And there was no flavor to it at all, I think they maybe make the chorizo there or something cuz it wasn't like any chorizo I've ever had before. Actually, the burrito didn't really taste like anything except for the pound of cilantro in it. I like cilantro but I don't like having it be the only thing I can taste.

Overall (8/10) Atmosphere (9/10) - inside is like a home bar, somewhere you'd be comfortable in. Food (8/10) Price (7/10) Location (7/10) - South O, where all the other good food is. I like this place. Not love, but like. Taco selection is limited, but I did sample the cachete (cheek), lengua (tongue) and the cactus + cheese + meat tacos. My friend got a cuban tostada which looked like great hangover food (greasy, on bread, with a fried egg). Overall, the food here was good, location nice, and service friendly. If you really want to start visiting south O, this is a safe bet, and their menu is in english too for ya'll. Not the best value, or taste, but pretty darn good. Will I be back? Probably, try a tostada.

This has been the most authentic mexican eatery in Omaha I have found. There tacos are small but full of flavor. I had the tacos al pastor and a steak taco. very friendly cook and waitress. the father and son cooked and the wife was our waitress. The cook brought us a special tomatillo sauce to our table, which was had some great flavor and spice. I recommend ordering at least three tacos.
