El Alteño Taqueria is a hidden gem in Omaha! 🌮 I visited with a coworker for lunch and was impressed by the clean atmosphere and friendly staff. I tried the quesabirria special, which was a standout - savory and filled to the brim.

The chips were crispy, but the salsa felt a bit on the thinner side. My only drawback was discovering a small chicken bone in my burrito, but hey, mistakes happen!

Overall, it’s a great spot for affordable, tasty Mexican food. I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu next time! 😊
