OLD MARKET. With flavorful, inexpensive food and great margaritas, this casual Mexican restaurant is a must. Julio's is located next to the Omaha History Center and provides an intimate ambience accented with neon lights, Tex-Mex accents, and tiered tables and booths. The food is filling and includes fajitas, burritos, enchiladas, and even the classic burger for those wanting something less adventurous. And if there's a Nebraska ball game to be seen, the owners are fans and will have it on in the bar television.

OLD MARKET. This Mexican cuisine restaurant may create an intimate ambience (there are candle-lit tables and low lighting), but its hearty and filling cuisine is what keeps locals and tourists coming back. Trini's serves favorites like tacos, enchiladas, and burritos as well as a number of appetizers and desserts. Soups are a great starter here and include classics like menudo and caldo xochitl. There are also vegetarian choices available. The restaurant has margarita specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. Prices are relatively inexpensive, and the staff is very friendly.
