Epoca Cantina

I wish I could review the food. I decided to go here with my partner tonight and despite there being empty tables, we waited about 5 minutes to be seated. We were given water and menus and waited. And waited. And waited. There were still open tables! And multiple staff members bustling around. After 20 minutes I flagged one down and asked for service, clearly stating we were there 20 minutes. They said ok I'll send someone to take your order. We waited. And waited. They avoided eye contact and just kept milling around helping tables that had already been helped. After 10 additional minutes we got up and left. We paid for parking to get a small cup of water each.I am not sure what the situation was. I feel disrespected and discriminated against. I don't recommend this place.

Epoca ended up opening for lunch with the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament March 21-24th. We stopped in for lunch March 22nd! Menu was very different then it use to be, when they were open for lunch before COVID, after asking, our waitress then told us it was a limited menu. Seemed weird to be there on a Friday, during Lent, with 0 fish street taco options, and 0 streetvegetarian taco options. All of them had meat. Service was great and quick, 6 people in and out in under an hour. I asked how much an individual taco was and our waitress said "about 2.50" and they ended up being 3.75, just a little off, eek, especially when there was no prices on the menu. Just not the same as it use to be.

stumbled upon this spot on a humbug didn't know I would have such a great time. Ladies get in free and the music will have you dancing all night long so wear comfortable shoes lol The bartenders were friendly and made us aware of the drink specials. this location is intimate and with bouncers at the door I felt safe while being inside. The DJ did a good job with combining different cultures of music. we didn't eat any food but make sure you try the shots with the tajin around the rim.

I was having dinner with my family at the igloo and wanted to give Epoca a try. I didn't go inside so I can't comment on the interior. The person I spoke to on the phone was helpful. I ordered the house margarita and street tacos. While I enjoyed the margarita, the tacos were ok. I was expecting more flavor from the meat and it was a little dry.

Had lunch with my work colleagues here today. I had no idea this place was in walking distance from my office until someone said we were going for street tacos. Outstanding! One of the few places I've been to in Omaha with excellent street tacos and rice. I tried the Al Pastor tacos and they did not disappoint. I'm funny about rice. Just know that they do it the right way!Service was great, too. There was only one person serving everyone and he stayed on top of everything. All while smiling. Just awesome.Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu.Check this place out!

Came here to eat with a friend who is a regular and enjoyed the patio seating (really nice to have this option for both being a dog owner and during COVID). The food was pleasantly good. It's different from the street tacos in South Omaha but in a good way, more Trendy and hip, but still tasty. I would compare it locally to Hook and Lime or Cantina Laredo (now closed). The chips can come mixed with flour and corn. I liked the different salsas and also the guacamole. The cocktails were delicious! I came for lunch, but I hear the night scene here is fun, with a live DJ creating more of a lounge/club vibe. I will def check it out post COVID!

Went last night and tried it out, everything tasted great (especially the street tacos). The owner ended up being our main server and he was a great guy to talk with and he did a great job making sure to check on our group and ask if we needed anything. The vibe was super cool and we didn't end up making back for the event after 10, but it sounds like those might be worth checking out. Definitely recommend, and if you haven't tried chorizo street tacos, you have to.

Went pre-dinner and was not packed. I think it was me and two other parties (four people). Basically ignored at the door by waitrons passing and the manager (?) counting a till behind the bar for about four minutes. The manager finally acknowledged me and said I could sit anywhere. Five stars otherwise. My waitron was quiet and quick. The food was pretty good. Without Yelp you might not know this place was there. You should give it a try if you're searching for standard Mexican fare.

Service is good and a nice atmosphere. I will say I met some friends here for dinner. I was expecting real Mexican but this is not it. Small selection for a menu. Got the strawberry margarita and it was not that good either.

My sister went with some coworkers here and while standing in line waiting to use the bathroom, she asked if someone that was preoccupying the stall could please stop talking and be considerate of the fact that people were waiting to use it(they had been in there a while and were just talking and No she wasn't rude about it). This person along with a friend didn't like being asked that so they busted the door in on my sister while she was in there and physically attacked her breaking her arm and giving her a concussion. The restaurant proceeded to protect the 2 people that did that. I would like to know what is being done about my sister being attacked last night in your establishment. Because she feels like she's getting the run around as if the people responsible is of importance to somebody there or to someone in law enforcement. Regardless, if that is the case, the people responsible NEED to and WILL face the consequences of their disgusting actions. And we won't stop pursuing this until they are in jail.
