Just a PSA for everyone that is eating here. Not sure what goes on in the kitchen, but was about to bite into my quesadilla and there was a huge chunk of raw chicken stuck to the bottom. Server really didn’t care, told us she was going to get the manager, manager never came, all she did was keep asking if I wanted another quesadilla & I had to tell her no 3 times, definitely didn’t want anything else there, then brought us the bill and comped the $8 quesadilla and told us to have a good night. So insanely disgusted. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

We're new to the are so have been trying out the local restaurants. So far, this is the best Mexican restaurant we've tried in Omaha/Council Bluffs. We completely enjoyed our visit. The service was prompt and friendly and the restaurant was very clean and pleasant. We will definitely be back.

Comfortable ambiance and very nice servers. The portions are huge. My grandson ordered the kids meal nachos and the plate was full sized. I got the chicken burrito. The chicken was a little bland but served in good portions with rice and beans. Their chips and salsa are fresh made. We enjoyed ourselves.

Yikes I’ve had better experiences here before. Do not order dessert here. The “donut” sat in cold grease before frying. It was saturated in oil and inedible. The “sopapillas” we’re flat, dry, plain tortillas sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Also inedible because they were harder than burnt chips. “Birria” tacos had lack luster pot roast with no flavor. Came with consome/sauce that was literally cayenne water. No flavor, no seasoning, just heat for the sake of heat. If you can’t make these dishes why are they even offered? The margaritas are good, but not enough to make up for the other horrible dishes. Our waitress was ok until the end. She was MIA and couldn’t be tracked down for an hour. The hostess/waitress that was up front was helpful in retrieving our bill. I understand the service industry is difficult. I go out of my way to be super kind and too generous, but this was such a terrible experience it needs to be addressed. Please do better.

So, I’ve dined here quite a bit. Staple even during COVID! Margaritas are quite good, food is quite amazing. Only a very small complaint that one time (in all of my 30 plus times ordering La Mesa) they forgot to give me extra corn tortillas and accidentally gave me extra flour. NBD! But that is why I couldn’t necessarily say 5 stars. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

This place was really great. The food was incredible. Most of my life in Texas and this was the best chicken fajita quesadilla I have ever had, and the taste was real and like you would expect homemade. The cheese used was incredible and tasty. Loaded with chicken and the veggies. The decor matched the theme and the bar area was stocked and looked really nice. Will definitely be coming back.

This really hit the spot. I was so surprised by the delicious flavor and vegetable variety on the vegetable fajita. My wife had a super flavorful potato enchilada combo. The service was spot on, especially considering they were closing in 25 minutes when we arrived. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good vegan Mexican meal in the area.
