Although I'm not an expert, or a transplant of any kind, I feel like I can tell the difference between authentic and not so authentic Mexican food.  For my money, Restaurant San Luis is the best in Omaha.  There are many other places I've yet to try, but as of this moment, it's the best I've had.  

I had a Pina Jarritos to drink, they have all kinds of Mexican sodas or juices to choose from.  As well as a full bar serving Pina Coladas or Margaritas plus your standard Corona or Dos Equis among other Mexican beers.

We started with nachos, which were very good.  The steak was brilliant, along with the homemade chips, and just a sprinkling of cheese.  They had a nice selection of appetizers besides nachos, and the complimentary chips and salsa were excellent.

They had loads of dinner choices, I had the green chile, and my wife had the steak tacos.  Both were out of this world.  The green chile sauce was the best I've ever had, and the pork was just right.  The steak on the tacos was just like on the nachos, so again, brilliant.  Homemade corn tortillas and beans and rice also came along with the green chile pork.  

The restaurant is decent inside, not fancy but not dirty or dingy at all.  Just nice.  Overall, I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for what I'd consider an authentic Mexican dining experience.

I first came here in 1996 when I first moved to Omaha.  My roommate spoke Spanish and was anxious to find the "barrio" in Omaha.  We headed down to South O and became regulars here.  

I speak NO spanish.  it was always humourous when I tried to order and said "No frijoles" and they had no idea what I was saying.  I used to come here alot, alone and with groups.  One friend claimed they had the best menudo he had ever had.

Fast forward to 2007:  we stopped in this spring.  Gabys had changed some, but it was still the same.  Luckily for me, there were english speakers.  When we were there, there was an elderly woman in the front window making tortillas---very fresh!  I had a wonderful cactus sandwich.   We will definately be back
