First time checking this place out - was super good! They are plenty of gluten-free options (corn shells in place of wheat). I had chicken quesadillas and some kind of a birria tacos. The additional sauces were really good. You get chips and sauce as an appetizer automatically.
Service was really great, options for indoor and outdoor seating, alcoholic drinks if you choose, and the place was nice and clean.
It's a little weird to find the door to get in, but pretty good parking. My friend and I averaged $43 for each of our meals plus a split appetizer, but we were also starved and got more food than a sane person.
A clean and spacious spot with an impressive seafood selection and a robust menu that caters to various preferences, perfect for casual dining.

They have many gluten free options listed on their robust menu. Food is good, staff is great. However if you are gluten sensitive or intolerant be mindful that margaritas are not going to be for you. I wasn't aware that margaritas could possobly contain gluten, a rookie GF person mistake.
Authentic flavors, diverse options, and a cool vibe make this spot a must-visit for a delicious meal on the go!

Picked up food to go on our way out of Lincoln and it did not disappoint. We came here because we wanted something safe for my wife who has Celiac disease and something that actually tasted good too. Well check and check! So many options for people who need gf food and even the chips and other fried things are safe! I got the Manadero burrito and a tamale and they were both delicious. She got the enchiladas mi Tierra and she really liked it, it’s nice to have another option than red or green sauce or mole. The rice and beans were really authentic and delicious, and the staff who helped us were extremely nice and helpful. Inside the restaurant was super cool looking and if we didn’t have the dogs in the car we would’ve loved to sit inside. We’ll definitely be returning!
A vibrant spot for celebrations with a lively atmosphere, tasty specialty drinks, and a menu that caters to diverse preferences.

The ten of us enjoyed an amazing dining experience, as we celebrated my wife’s birthday last night, at The Oven, downtown. Our server, Tory, set the tone for a relaxing, enjoyable evening. She was calm and helpful, answering each of our questions with confidence and direction as we explored the menu. Our age range was from one to 88 years. Tory assisted in our various dietary needs; including gluten-free, diabetic, and vegetarian requests. She even broke into Spanish when speaking with my mother-in-law, showing her much respect.
The food was fresh, flavorful and served hot from the kitchen. I especially enjoyed the eggplant appetizers, and the house favorite Shrimp meal. Their naan is always awesome, but their rice was especially delicious last night. All the food was seasoned well for flavor, yet never too salty.
We enjoyed various specialty drinks, my favorite was the gin drink, that Tory recommended, because it went so well with my meal.
The place was hopping. So many different groups of people all enjoying themselves. And we never felt rushed.
I know that our server didn’t do it all herself, the host, bartenders, cooks and wait staff support were all on point last night.
Thanks again, Rob Benton
A lively spot with a clean vibe, where the fun atmosphere and tasty dishes keep everyone coming back for more.

It was awesome! The staff was fun and friendly! They even cared if I was gluten free because I didn't get a bun and the jalapeños coins were breaded! The inside was clean and the smoke house burger was delicious!
Flipped a coin for lunch and Muchachos won. Glad it did! The staff was very friendly (we called twice beforehand with questions about their menu). My friend loved her gluten free lunch and I got the 3 meat platter. Good portion of meat and the sides were good, as well...my son loved the leftovers. We didn’t realize they have breakfast (coffee-really good) and adult beverages. I don’t eat out much but will definitely put Muchachos on my, “go to”, list. I can’t wait to try their breakfast menu.
Perfect for a quick takeout fix with delicious brisket nachos and tacos, plus awesome salsa that keeps everyone coming back for more!

Great place for takeout. I love the brisket nachos and bbq brisket tacos. Plus their salsa is awesome. We always get a large chips and salsa. Plus they have gluten free and dairy free options that make it easy to get dinner quick. The staff is always very helpful. Highly suggest checking this place out if you haven't.
