Maximo's Cantina is a cute place in downtown Elkhorn that is comfortable, with kind service , and pretty dang good food based on two experiences several years apart. On this occasion, we stopped by because we happened to be in the area. Gotta say that the prices were shockingly high. I know restaurants are having a difficult time, but $16+ for guacamole and about $14 for 4 stuffed jalapeños? I don't know if they're good because we aren't paying that. We did pay $4.40 for chips and salsa to start. The chips were spot on. You get two salsas, one is a regular red salsa which was great. The other is a creamy, onion, avocado dip which was out of this world. I wanted more (and the recipe, please!). For an entree, we shared the Enchiladas de Res, with shredded beef and verde topping. You get two enchiladas with beans, rice, and a small handful of lettuce. Oh my. Very flavorful overall! The beef was moist, oh it was good. We left satisfied in the stomach and a little sore in the wallet.

What a breath of fresh air! We had an authentic Hacienda vibe...beautiful decor...cozy, with music to fit the vibe...delicious fish tacos topped with pico de gallo, lettuce piled high on a flour tortilla ...chips and salsa (green and red) Dean had crunchy carne asada tacos with a fried flour tortilla piled high served with 2 salsas (green and red) ..the margaritas are half price during happy hour...so we will return to try them! We loved the building and overall space embracing the Mexican culture.

We met my brother and sister-in-law here for a weekend lunch a few weeks ago. I don't get out to Elkhorn much so this was a nice treat. The inside was super cute and festive. I had a cheese and onion enchilada with a choice of red or green sauce. I chose red but the sauce was more like a mole sauce that I wasn't crazy about. I ate the whole thing, just not my favorite. I also had a carne asada taco a la carte. I had a choice of hard or soft tortilla and fried or not fried. I went for the hard fried but should have opted for the soft not fried like the taco trucks have. It was crispy and hard to eat and soon after my RA started to flare up possibly due to the oils used to fry. That was on me making a bad choice. Our server was attentive to our table and really fantastic. I ordered a flan for dessert and she brought extra spoons so everyone could have a bite if they wanted. The flan was to die for!!!! I would go there again just for that. Glad to have tried a new place for me.

I love the atmosphere. Beautiful patio setup . We were seated right away but it did take longer than expected for service. We had already decided what we wanted so drinks and dinner were one and done and easy on the waitress. The enchiladas were good but not really $24 worth. I'd have gotten queso but too expensive. The atmosphere was my favorite part

We had a great experience here! I visited with my mom and sister after a girl's afternoon. The flour tortilla chips are an absolute must order. The margaritas are tasty, but not the best you'll ever have. Each of our meals was delicious, especially my BBQ enchiladas, which were a surprising favorite. The outdoor atmosphere is fantastic, and I definitely would recommend sitting out here if you are able to.I will say, this is pricier than your average Mexican food spot. Each entree was $20+

Went for lunch with some coworkers during a training. It was absolutely excellent. We sat on the patio, our server was just so sweet and attentive. One of my coworkers kept saying "I like her a lot. She's so nice." Patio is/was beautiful. My only complaint was that I couldn't have a margarita in the patio. Will be back in with my family

Lives here for three years and have not taken the time to try this place out. Had a late night softball game and stopped in Friday night for some quality food and great reverse happy hour that was from 8 to close. The service was fantastic and we really enjoy this place. It will become my go to for Mexican food in Elkhorn.

Over priced for just everyday Mexican food. I won't be back unless they figure out their menu pricing.

The food is fantastic--certainly the best Mexican I have had and my favorite place to eat in Omaha whenever I am in town. The drinks are cheap and delicious--it is the perfect place to go for a date or night out. The service is fantastic, the waitresses are all so attentive. The food is authentic and of high quality and certainly worth the price. You can't find this level of food just anywhere.
