Through some travesty of justice, Taco Bell is consistently voted “Best Mexican” in Omaha. I personally choose to believe this has more to do with people’s lack of experience than their true belief that a Doritos Locos Taco is really the ultimate ethnic experience. Spaghetti Works always walks away with an award for “Best Italian,” and while we can all appreciate a hearty struggle meal, Emeril Lagasse would grimace at it being called anything more than Fast Casual American Fare.
However, the tide is slowly turning for some of Omaha’s most intrepid restaurateurs. Truly authentic establishments are finding their place at the table as diners expand their understanding.
