I've been to El Muchacho multiple times and each time I was not disappointed. The food is full of flavor and hot when it comes to the table. (I'm lowkey afraid for the waiters because they run with hot plates in their hands.)The decor is typically what you see at Mexican restaurants; bright, bold colors with some tropical elements.My usual order is chicken flautas with house margarita.

Pretty solid Mexican place. Huge margaritas, fajitas, the works! You know, chips and salsa. Can't go wrong!I had the meat and potato burrito. It was huge. I think it might've been a foot long burrito stuffed with crispy potatoes (think diced breakfast potatoes) your choice of meat, lettuce, rice, and topped with melted cheese sauce. I think I got through 1/4 of it and had to take the rest home. Fast service. Polite. Friendly. Can't ask for more. Would go back

New to Omaha, we are on the lookout for good locally owned restaurants. El Muchacho Alegre was recommended to us by friends and we had the chance to eat a late lunch there recently. Service was efficient and friendly! The room decorations were nice. The menu was diverse. Most importantly, the food was delicious! I ordered the Seafood Chimichanga, but I guess I was served the Seafood Burrito... Not a problem! It was delicious! It was chock-full of shrimp and other fish -- actually stuffed (not like some places who serve a limp offering with just a bit of fish)! And now, I have a good reason to return to check out the Chimichanga.

My siblings and I had lunch together on a slow Monday afternoon in December. We have been to many Mexican restaurants in Omaha, and this location wins the award for the worst Mexican food in the Big O. The taco was filled with mystery meat. The chile relleno was filled with spinach and cheese which lacked any flavor. It didn't taste like a Mexican dish at all. The service was mediocre, at best. The ambiance is predictable and boring, almost Mexican lite. There are so many better Mexican restaurants in Omaha. I would recommend avoiding this one.

My girlfriend and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon/evening hoping to find a Happy Hour. Our previous visit was quite enjoyable and need I say, neither did this one. She had the vegetarian quesadilla and I tried the Guadalajara Special pictured. Food and service were excellent.

We came here for Mothers Day and enjoyed a lunch on the patio!It was mildly busy but our server was attentive. I went for the fajita bowl. I really like the veggies included. It is packed with thinly sliced steak and well cooked veggies, beans, and rice. Washed it down with a margarita and all in all nice meal. The complimentary rose was a nice touch as well.I do not think charing $8.99 for kraft macaroni and cheese is fair, the fries for the kids meal were warm but not cooked all the way. Finally the ice cream bar in the in worst possible location for servers and patrons clashing into each other.

I have gone here to lunch with my dad and daughter three times now. The service is always great but my food has been a little hit and miss. While I do think the value is definitely there for the money (the have $9 lunch specials) sometimes the food is a little soso. I have gotten the chimichangas twice and they were pretty good but I also had the chile relleno and it was unfortunately cold in the middle and not great flavor-wise.Hopefully next time it will be a little better.

The food was very good. I'm not into very spicy tastes -- so I ordered the Steak Tacos with mild flavor in keeping with my taste buds. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The decor was pleasing. It was a great experience.
