Best KPortal Reviews
We visited on Mother's Day and, overall, had a positive experience. We sat outside on the covered patio which is fairly large and has a nice atmosphere.
The margaritas and appetizers were especially good. You do get free chips and house salsa, which is not spicy.
The street tacos were okay, the sauces made the tortillas soggy so they were difficult to eat.
The inside seating area is quite large so it shouldn't be hard to get seated, but they do take reservations, which is nice for a larger party.
We stopped in for a quick lunch just my daughter and I. The look of this place is great. Huge patio and since it was perfect weather we took advantage. Inside looks amazing and was very clean as well.
We ordered the trio salsas to give a few a try. Although delivered with our meal (would have been better before the food), all of the salsas we had were delicious. We also order the queso blanco and it was a bit sweet and watery for us.
My daughter got the tortilla soup. Very large portion and lots of items in it. It still was bland flavor but nothing a little hot sauce and some salt didn't clear up.
I ordered the street tacos and all three of them were great. I would recommend saving some of your salsa for your food.
The wait staff seemed like they did not want to be bothered but overall did an ok job on refills etc.
I would recommend giving this place a shot and looking forward to trying some more of the menu items soon.
PS the house margarita was perfectly made!
Ancho & Agava may be the best Mexican restaurant in town. The drinks are delicious, and the food is amazing!!!
The house chips and salsa are a perfect started and their chips are super crispy and warm. The Traditional Queso is probably my favorite in town.
My wife had the March Special - Cubano Torta, and it was full of flavor. I had 3 different tacos, Fried Fish, Nashville Chicken and Porkbelly. Each had its own unique flavor profile, and there wasn’t a single crumb left in my plate.
The restaurant has a great vibe, great patio area and has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Omaha. Would highly recommend!!!
*New Place* atmosphere was Sharp, unique, & spectacular lighting! I'm not one for dim lit restaurants where I can't see my food or read the menu without turning my phone light on! All the different lights were really cool! I also don't ever order fajitas at Mexican restaurants, but I got the steak with housemade corn tortillas and they were absolutely scrumptious ????! We also got shrimp (spouse got flour tortillas) and shared the meats, was very tasty! We ordered an appetizer queso and we got complimentary homemade chips & salsa! Our server, Madeline was attentive and always confirmed my dishes were gluten-free with their chief. Restaurant has only been open a bit over a month, very clean, tidy, and welcoming! We will be back to try different items as so many looked good! Highly recommend this place!
Liked the salsa, loved the White bean chicken soup & loved the ground beef taco with queso, I'd get 2 next time.
Neither of us liked the esquite.
TDLR: Fantastic flavors, poor execution of food, understaffed, inconsistent service.
Very frustrating to walk into a restaurant and see numerous tables with no settings and no intention of using (presumably due to staffing) and be told it's a 50 min wait for a table. Asked about up at the bar, told it was fcfs...I see an opening...then only to have the bartender appear with "reserved" signs at that spot. Not a good start.
Apps: Salsa trio and chips were wonderful. Salsas were extremely flavorful and unique with good hearty, crispy chips.
-Also tried the "ceviche", good flavors but the shrimp were very poorly cleaned and we were picking off legs and shells on every single shrimp.
Drinks: had the jalapeno and the raspberry -lime margarita. Both were overly sweet. We were originally considering diy to-go margs, but that quickly changed.
Mains:
- Steak and chicken bowl was a big miss. Nowhere in the menu does it state the bowl comes with lettuce and it looked more like a salad than a bowl with just a scoop of rice buried under poorly picked lettuce with cores still attached. Steak and chicken both seasoned wonderfully, but both were very overcooked and dry.
-Ahi Taco: HUGE hit, 100% would order 5 more, well executed and flavorful.
- seafood enchiladas: delicious tomato sauce, but shrimp overcooked and rice was dry inside.
Server was great, but as expected, overworked. Might have been an off night, but lots of execution errors that make me think the kitchen has been getting too lax on their expectations.
This place was fantastic. I had the steak asada enchilada and it was so tasty. My husband had the shrimp taco, the avocado, and Baja fish. He enjoyed all three. Get the churros, you won't regret it.
The only complaints I have are don't sit next to the window when it's cold out, it's drafty. Also the chips need salted while they're fresh out of the fryer, there wasn't enough salt on them.
The ambiance is amazing! We opted for the Cadillac margaritas which tasted delicious but gave us headaches. The service is friendly but so slow. The food is decent. The cauliflower taco was the best tasting out of the bunch we tried
