Pretty decent Mexican food for the price. Smells really great in there and I'm tempted to try some middle eastern food. I wish they delivered.

This used to be one of my favorite spots in town for a quick, tasty and affordable lunch. I haven't been in for a while, but wish I would have consulted Yelp before I did. As others have noted, there is a new owner. He seems to have purchased the place and then kept everything the same, except the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the establishment. I think they serve Mexican and Middle Eastern food, but I don't recall seeing any Middle Eastern food on the menu. (There is a picture of falafel on the door.) I ordered chicken verde enchiladas. They were fine. My boyfriend got a chicken burrito. He said it was good. The guac was okay. The chips tasted stale. Everything was at least $2-$3 more expensive than it would be at El Chapparo. The restaurant itself was disorganized and the bathrooms were disgustingly filthy. I will not come here again. The owner was nice, if completely flabbergasted to have customers. I think he needs to figure out what he's doing (Mexican or Middle Eastern) and then go with it. I'll continue to eat at other, better Mexican restaurants in Lincoln.

After a friend raved about the lacation at 1st & O, I decided to try this closer spot at 16th & Q. It was very disappointing. The chips with the chips and salsa were cold and stale, the entrees were extremely bland and tasteless (we tried the fajitas and the grande burrito), and despite the huge margarita painted on the window, they don't serve alcohol. A total waste of time and money.

NEW OWNER, avoid this place at all costs! The new owner, while a nice guy, has purchased a Mexican restaurant and for religious reasons does not offer PORK or alcohol. So this Mexican restaurant has no carnitas, chorizo, Al Pastor, margaritas etc. The "refried beans" were lukewarm and clearly came out of a can - they were the brown slop kind with no actual beans. Bland and flavorless overall and frankly our entire group felt sick to our stomachs the entire evening wondering what it was we had just eaten.

We're from the East but have traveled extensively around the country. We have our favorite spots for Mexican food, particularly those that have some aura of authenticity. Cielito Lindo is at the top of the list! I come to Lincoln a couple of times a year and always eat there at least once a trip or more. I love it! I get either the tilapia or a shrimp dish. My husband gets meat. We're both pleased. Can't wait to go again tomorrow even though we were there last week!

The good reviews are either old or fake. Worst meal I've ever had. No pork, no alcohol, no margaritas. The beans had a sour taste and were cold. The shredded beef was gelatinous. I couldn't eat the meal. Was so looking forward to great Mexican food. Now I'll be grateful if I don't get sick. PS we were three of us with a small child. They forgot the child's order. And we were the only ones in the restaurant. He had one job to do...

My husband and I have eaten in many Mexican restaurants including ones in Mexico. This is the best I've ever had. You start with the normal chips but the entrees are fantastic. We both darn near licked our plates clean. LOL. We were there for lunch and all the tables were full but for one which we took. People come and go as most were there for lunch break. We both loved it. If you try it I hope you like it as much as we did. Friendly staff and great food.
