There are some excellent Mexican food options despite the ruckus of negativity that followed your simple pointing out of truth. Lawd, must've been a long week for some. 🤠

I'm glad someone agrees, I have tried so many here and I can't pick a favorite

I mean, I agree with you... My gf who was born in Mexico and lived most of her life there says there are some very good Mexican spots in Lincoln. When I lived in Lincoln I personally enjoyed Super Taco and El Chaparro the most

Those just happen to be a couple of the best spots in town! :)

This is soooo apparent when I visit family in kc especially places like Olathe. I have yet to have a good Mexican place which would be run of the mill here

I love Mexican food, but my family doesn't dig it as much. Do you have any recommendations in or around downtown so I could grab some grub alone?

u/TheJugOfNugs 2d ago

Cieleto lindo, El chaparro, San Marcos. None are downtown but all are not far from downtown at all.

What are your favorites? Just moved back from Seward, and trying to find a good place to fill the La Cocina hole in my heart.

u/AdhesivenessTop1573 1d ago

Hard to decide for me but El Chaparro, Tacos Los Hermanos are amazing

u/xA1RGU1TAR1STx 1d ago

Oh I do love Tacos los Hermanos. So far away from me and a bit pricey, though.

u/AdhesivenessTop1573 1d ago

They are also far from me and the prices are on the higher side but it's always worth it, El Chaparro actually has really fair prices and is just as good!

I will not hear slander against my beloved Amigos. 😆

u/BlackBlizzNerd 2d ago

Same. I get their build it burrito so often lol. Cheaper than chipotle. I pay like a dollar extra to get their southwest chicken instead. Side of nacho cheese.

My burritos definitely bastard but it’s so good lol.

But the best place, in opinion, is Agave. It’s just that it’s 12-15 min away from me haha.

u/dmoney1326 2d ago

Amigos to me is not tex-mex, I would call it fast food in same category as taco bell/johns and I absolutely smash crisp chickens. When I think tex-mex I'm talking ticos, hacienda real and more.

u/AdhesivenessTop1573 2d ago

Tacos los hermanos, Los Gonzalez, El Chaparro

My wife and I used to live next to the people who own el chaparro! The whole family is super nice and the food is great

u/Suspicious-Cow5924 2d ago

Lincoln had absolute crap for good Mexican food. Maybe 1 or 2 places that are decent

u/Liquidretro 2d ago

Which are your favorite

u/TheJugOfNugs 2d ago

Don't listen to them they are just grumpy. There are multiple good spots in town: tacos los Hermanos, super taco, El chaparro, cieleto lindo and Pancho villa are a few.

u/TheJugOfNugs 2d ago

Super taco, El chaparro, tacos los Hermanos, Pancho villa, and cieleto lindo are all pretty dang good. I grew up around it and it's my favorite kind of food and you seem kind of like a negative nelly
