El Bee's is a long-standing staple for Tex-Mex food in the Omaha area. Their portions are large, the place is always busy, the food is hot, and the service is friendly and relatively quick. Margaritas are a bit on the strong side which was fine for me. The Macho Chimichanga is a generous portion and I would definitely order this again. If you have never been here, it is definitely a place to check off on your list.

Popped in for a quick appetizer. Our waitress was great and the food was quick and good!

Apparently this ‘use to be’ the place to go for Mexican food, using ‘use to’. I don’t understand how it is so good? We arrived toward closing time (late October 2024), several people at bar, one other table eating. Several staff available. No free chips & salsa (means not authentic Mexican), so we went ahead and ordered bean dip to get chips while we waited for the fajita’s. The bean dip wasn’t all that bad - open can, dump, place a lot of cheese and put in oven. Nothing authentic about. Fajita’s - wasn’t sizzling, barely room temp. No seasoning. Chicken tasted like it was out of a frozen bag, microwaved and thrown with cold veggies. Worst fajita’s ever. Reasonably priced. Good service. Unfortunately, will not be making a stop to try again. Cannot recommend despite a lot of others say

I never fail to be amazed at how well oiled of a machine this restaurant is. I was there tonight and would say that they have attained near perfection, I only say "near" because there's no such thing as an absolutely perfect restaurant right? It starts as you approach the restaurant to see a nice new very large parking lot, and a very nice looking building. At peak times there can very often be a line which they seem to move through pretty quick. You are generally greeted by the owner who also seats you. Most of the time the waitress is there, before he is out of sight, to get your drink order. Tonight we got chips and cheese, which was at the table in under 5 minutes. I got my usual favorite, the taco salad, that I have been ordering for probably 35 years, since they were down on Main S

The food is piping hot and so delicious! Best sour cream ever! I'm always full and always have some to take home! I'm never disappointed! Thanks so much
