Burrito Envy & Tequila Bar

This a place I visit whenever I go back to Omaha was one of my regular places back when I was at Creighton the burritos are good and the drinks are inexpensive.Got a beer and a Barbacoa burrito was good nice flavor and was cooked pretty well. It needs a little spice up to give a five maybe so jack cheese or spicy salsa to balance things out. Because it's one note. Otherwise I enjoyed my visit service was nice and it's as I remembered divey but nice.

My husband and I absolutely love going to Burrito Envy! Our love affair for the loaded tots and burritos began in our 20's when we needed a little post-bar fuel. We now really enjoy bringing our toddler here for a meal that always hits the spot! This may seem silly, but this is the only restaurant I have ever been in the has a high-top highchair. BRAVO BURRITO ENVY! Sometimes toting a toddler around to restaurants is a little daunting, but I find it very easy to come here with ours. I really enjoy the extensive variety of margaritas you can get here. My favorites include, but are not limited to the watermelon and blueberry! When I get a meal, I love to get the California burrito while my husband prefers the Surf and Turf. Additional tots are a must, as they are our toddlers favorite!

Turned out we visited on First Friday so the place was PACKED. But we got a spot at the bar and the bartenders immediately let us know they were slammed and it would be a bit of a wait but that they would get to us ASAP. That's really all I need, just acknowledgement that I'm there and communication about the wait. No big deal! We probably only waited 10 minutes and were able to order drinks and food and it all came super fast. Got the California nachos and they were pretty good! Not a ton of diverse toppings but tasty. The bartender made me the Thursday special, cucumber jalapeño margarita and it was DELICIOUS.

I just tried this place last night and it was so good! I can't complain - they were quick to serve us and the food was so good! The full plate of breakfast nachos was enough for me and my boyfriend!

This visit was very relaxing and satisfying! Had a very pleasant time sitting enjoying my chips & salsa along side a very nicely made Margarita

Amaya was the best bartender and made a bomb margarita best in benson for sure! Amazing food and salsa and great selection for all types of liquor 10/10 will be back!!

When one wanders down into Benson, generally it's expected you'll spend a little time drinking at some grungy and hip bars, fend off the errant hipster trying to get you to take their selfie, and spend way too much money if you wander into Yoshitomo and get sushi. What you don't expect, is to have some of the best nachos you've ever tasted, from a place named after burritos. Well, I'm here to tell you that you're in for a surprise. Burrito Envy is exactly what you'd expect a Benson bar to look like. It's not extravagant or posh, the floor might be sticky from some idiot spilling his drink, and depending on the time of day there might not be anywhere to sit. Their location is clever, for it has one entrance and register for take-out, and a second for dining in. Obviously they specialize in tequila based drinks, and whichever one I ordered was actually pretty good. The cool thing about their menu is most of the dishes can be ordered as a burrito, taco, or nachos. Me, being a huge nacho fan, elected to get the California Nachos on my visit. My first things when ordering is that I'd be getting a second-rate plate of chips, with overcooked carne asada, and for some reason tater tots....?? What I got was actually incredible. The carne asada was tender, cooked perfectly, and not the dollar store chunk of meat I was expecting. The cheese sauce was flavorful, plentiful, and not overly spicy, and those weird little tater tot morsels actually added an extra layer of taste, salt, and texture to my nachos I never thought I'd enjoy. In all, they're my favorite cheesy chips I've had in Omaha to date. Do yourself a favor and try them.

This is the second time I've been there and this time I brought my wife and son. Granted, it's not exactly a "kid friendly" spot because it's mainly high tops and a bar, but the food is totally worth it. I had the California Burrito bowl, my wife got the Surf and Turf (forgot a picture of hers), and my son had a cheese quesadilla. We also tried the Chips and Queso since it was happy hour today. Both times the food has really wowed us!The biggest thing that sets them apart from other places is their tator tots instead of rice. Such a unique flavor with their other ingredients. Their carne asada (steak) is fresh and tender and their guacamole tastes homemade. Even without the rice, their portions are very filling. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Burrito Envy became a favorite takeout spot for us during the pandemic. We have yet to dine in house, but the burritos and margaritas we have carried back home with us or enjoyed in a park have all been very good. I particularly enjoy the passion fruit margarita, and being an herbivore, I tend to get the mixed veggies burrito unless the current special is veggie friendly. I guess one drawback wpuld be that they have lots of options on the menu, but not a ton for vegetarians. Good thing I enjoy the one main offering. Definitely check out BE if you're in the neighborhood.

Burrito menu had a lot of various options. Parking here was a bit tough on a Friday night. Food was good and tasted fresh, just not fantastic. Service was great and variety of salsas and hot sauces was above average for sure. If I could give a half star I would definitely move this up to 3 1/2.
