El chaparro is some of the best Mexican in Lincoln and a great lunch stop. I have only stopped in and grabbed lunch to go or delivered it, but sometime I need to dine in and have the full experience. Regardless, they are extremely nice, fast, and efficient every time I come in and I don't call in advance. Prices are so reasonable, you get tons of food. You can tell it's family owned and they take pride in their restaurant. The parking lot is often disorganized and people kind of just pull in, but it's worth the challenge for this food. Some favorites: enchilada/tamale combo, burritos, and of course the cinco tacos are Amazing--served street taco style with cilantro, onions, and fresh lime. My preferred meat is the barbacoa, it's so flavorful but chicken and beef are also good. Don't forgot to ask for extra hot sauce! It's delish and packs a nice kick.

I haven't tried all the Mexican food in Lincoln, but this place is the best I've found. We've only gotten takeout so I can't speak to "service" but they're very quick and my order is always on-point and incredible value for cost... easily worth 15% more. We usually get two sets of the cinco tacos and two sides of beans and rice. That's enough for me, my wife and our 3-year-old son. It's in a rough part of Lincoln, with limited parking and seating, so I don't necessarily recommend dining in, but the food is premier!

El Chaparro has fantastic food, they serve everything very quickly, and it was very packed inside but it didn't feel too loud. They came out with complimentary chips and salsa, and water. After we ordered, the food came out within 5-10 minutes and GOOD LORD what food it was. So damn good. My friends got the torta and the burrito and they said it was some of the best Mexican food they have had in Lincoln. 10/10

If you lived around 13th & G at any point you know this place is the heart of this community. Foods always ready in 10 minutes, staff is truly so attentive and easy going, and I don't even really eat inside restaurants like that but I come here and I ALWAYS want to sit in a booth and just chat for 2hrs. I am reviewing today because I had the carnitas and rice & I was transported, I haven't had a meal that so reminded me of home in a long long time. Everything I've tried on the menu is incredible, but if you are questioning what to grab, try the carnitas, you will not be disappointed.

Had an excellent dinner here last night. The place was pretty busy despite all the snow on the roads, and I got served very quickly. Decided to go with the enchilada plate with mole sauce, as I'd seen it on somebody's plate coming out the kitchen as I walked in and thought it looked good. The comp salsa they gave me was fresh, properly seasoned and a bit spicy. Next time I'll definitely be asking if I can buy some to take home.My enchiladas came out just a couple minutes after I ordered them. I went with barbacoa for the meat, and the four enchiladas came with a big helping of rice and beans on the side. Everything tasted amazing, especially that mole sauce. I've only been here one other time years ago, but I should be making this a regular spot from now on.

The best carne Asada I have ever eaten! It was moist, but still charred on the outside. Often Carne Asada is very watery (maybe kept in a warming tray with liquid) and drips out through the bottom of your taco or burrito, this Carne Asada was not in a liquid, but the meat was not dried out. the flavor was exceptional. We are new to Lincoln, and this will be our go to Mexican!I went with a large group, and everyone agreed that it was some of the best Mexican food we have ever eaten. Two people in our group got the lengua (tongue.) burritos and mentioned that they are amazing. Don't let the idea of eating a cows tongue put you off. It is tender and flavorful.The staff was friendly, and quick, even though we were there at lunchtime, and they were quite busy . I look forward to eating there again real soon.
