There's a green salsa too but the red was better IMO
This salsa is delish, especially the spicy red one.

This authentic Mexican restaurant is one of our favorites in Omaha! Any chance we get to South Omaha, we're stopping here for some good eats, drinks & a friendly atmosphere! We're waited on by the same nice, polite older lady who always has a smile! She is quick to greet us & get our table chips, salsa, & waters. We're only aware of one margarita to order & lucky for us it's worth the drive to get it!!!!We've tried several different meals here & satisfied with everything, from beans, rice, beef, chicken & pork. It's definitely a place to enjoy your meal with family or friends. No rush here. Enjoy the experience! No complaints here.Recommend!

Good authentic restaurant with that Ma and Pa feeling. MARG AMAZING not sweet at all just that good silver tequila with some lime taste. Their house salsa and chips were also amazing (not a huge fan of the verde) but the red i literally chugged very yum. I got the chile relleno which was decent, lukewarm when i got it but i'm just the type of person that wants to feel the gates of hell when i eat or drink hot beverages. I enjoyed the experience and it was average food at best (lacking just a little flavor), but that doesn't negate the fact they had a lot to offer and it was still some good authentic grub in the heart of south O.

I ordered the Deluxe Beef Enchilada with a taco. It wasn't the best it was very bland to my likings. The waitress was very nice and friendly. But the food did upset my tummy after we ate it

Amazing authentic food. Loved my waitress, gave a 38% tip, then sent a $5 tip to the bus boy & cook. Cause the staff were just as awesome as the food.

Where should I start! After everyone mentioned they had really good grilled chicken we decided to go on a Sunday we got there maybe around 1:30pm there was only 1 couple in there. The buss boy took our drink order and said the waitress was coming to get the food order when we asked her if they had chicken she said no we should've called in before because they don't sell grilled chicken on Wednesday and Sundays then my mom asked what they had ready and with a sarcastic remark she answered well look at the menu! Definitely not the way to get business with that funky attitude overall poor service, poor attitude why work there if you don't want to be there not a friendly place to go.

I hadn't been here in years and that was a mistake. Excellent and authentic Mexican food. Very flavorful. I also liked the funky interior design. I will be back!

Today I learned there's a whole 24th corridor in South Omaha full of historic buildings and Mexican food. Pure heaven!El Alamo has a colorful interior, recently redone according to the conversations I overheard. The space is massive, though quiet during covid. I always judge a Mexican restaurant on their salsas. Both were more of the watery style. The green was tasty but the red was astonishingly good, full of peppery leftovers and hot as hades. I used every one of my chips to clean it up. For my lunch, I ordered the pollo a la naranja, which is a family recipe. It was quite tasty, but my plate came out in a virtual soup: the beans and the sauce had run together, like the whole thing had been microwaved too long. Refried beans should have some texture, not be soupy.In short, exactly what I wanted for a classic Mexican lunch, but I'll keep searching for my perfect Mexican place in Omaha.

We came here pre-covid so our experience is a little different than current times but none the less it was still a great service. Recommended by a close friend who works in the area we took our date night "on the road" as this is about 40 minutes from our house in NW Omaha. Located near 24th and Harrison, which oddly was the cross streets of my apartment in San Francisco, this was just like being in The Mission. I'm on a quest to try all the quesos in Omaha and this one is pretty good. Not my favorite but I enjoyed the extra kinds of salsas and they have a hot one for my husband. He ordered tacos and enchilada and I had the fajitas. We cheers over margaritas and by the end of the night we could barely walk out...because we were so full! The food was phenom and the drinks were just right, I really don't like super syrupy margaritas and these were great!The service was typical for a Mexican restaurant, with a few checks here and there a drop of the bill as the drinks ended. No complaints here. If you're in south Omaha definitely try El Alamo first!

We ordered through a delivery app but they couldn't get to the restaurant because the street was closed for Cinco de Mayo. One of the people at the restaurant called me and said he would bring the order himself since nobody picked it up. He got to our house faster than the delivery app probably would have. An outstanding place--definitely go there! The mole chicken is amazing and they are the nicest people! Oh, the beef nachos are worth the trip even if that's all you get.
