Cómo Se Taco

Friendly helpful staff and wide selection of flavor combos! Of the three I ordered, Lima’s Parade was the winner. Good sized tacos prepared fresh. Try this gem out Lincoln.

It’s ok. I have been here multiple times and tried many different tacos. They are unique and have good flavor. Their spicy meter on their menu is a little out of whack. Sometimes it’s blistering hot, sometimes it is barely hot. I don’t care for the breading they use for their tacos, it’s almost like a pita. Chips and their version of Guacamole are pretty good.

Updating my review to 5 stars, as with the other GUP restaurants, this place has become a local haunt. Below is the original review. Looovvvee this place and the changing menu
Since I’ve been in Lincoln I’ve just been continuously impressed with these restaurants, and the newest member of the family is no exception. As soon as I saw they were open I had to give it a try. It’s in the same location as Honest Abe’s used to be prior to their move this spring. The inside has had a little change of decoration. It is still a pretty small space with limited seating so I imagine there will be a lot of taco take outs.
The taco selections are as unique and
Inventive as you’ve come to expect from GUP restaurants. Each taco I had was different and had an unexpected twist. I had the GUP which was my favorite. The Thai peanut one was also delicious and the Jamaican had quite the kick to it. You can select your meat for each option. They have tofu for a vegetarian option and of course they thought of gluten intolerance in their menu design, I just love my options at GUP restaurants. Corn tortillas make any taco a option and the homemade corn chips and salsas are amazing.
Everyone is always very friendly at all of their restaurants and there’s a lot of crossover between them. Overall I was again really impressed with the quality of food, reasonable prices, unique flavor combinations, and overall friendliness of the restaurant. I’ll be back soon.

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this place so I decided to stop in while running errands on my lunch break. I’m torn on how to review this because it was good but not a place I would go over and over. Why? It’s too niche. It’s not a real taco. Ok, let me explain. You have your choice of about six or so taco flavors, you pick the ones you want, add your meat and any sides and you’re in business. The tacos are LOADED with food. LOADED. I ate three and it was plenty, probably too much, but not sure two would have done it for me. If you are craving an actual Mexican kind of taco, this is not the place. If you want something out of the box, a unique mix of flavors in a taco shell, give it a try.
So, that being said, here is my review of the tacos I had.
LIMA — added pork
Interesting mix of flavors. Cilantro, onions and the sweetness of sweet potatoes. The pork meat is quite tasty, probably my favorite of all the proteins I sampled.
HOT MAMACITA — added steak
rice /​cuban spiced onions /​chipotle mayo /​cilantro /​citrus sour cream /​romaine /​pickled jalapeños /​spicy peanuts
This one was amazing! Great smoky flavor. It is spicy but not hot enough I had to get a drink right away. The sprinkling of nuts very tasty.
ONE NIGHT — added chicken
Lots of coconut curry flavor.
Prices aren’t too bad (not a $.99 kind of taco place), especially for how stuffed the tacos are, and the atmosphere is just so fun! You get a try at making two baskets (basketball) and if you do, you get discounts on your next visit. The cashier was SUPER nice and helpful and the tacos didn’t take too awful long. Décor is hip, it’s right next door to Honest Abe’s (a sister company I believe). I’ll be back.

Just went here for lunch while on business in Lincoln.
Fantastic tacos and rice bowls. They have Mexican Coke. YES!!!
I heard same owner of Honest Abe’s.
Had the Seoul Food Steak rice bowl. AWESOME!!!
and the Lima Chicken Taco.
Very good flavor. Really nice sized portions. A little pricey but worth it.
Not a place I would eat often (if I lived here) due to price but definitely a place to go for a different take on tacos.

Wow!!! I just happen to be driving by leaving ace hardware around lunch time today & seen this place. I am in LOVE!!! Lincoln totally needs new and fabulous places like this. This is not your typical taco place. This is so much more. I seriously can’t race enough about how good these tacos are. Well, I only had two but I will be back to try the others for sure. I highly recommend the Seoul with steak and the Lima with chicken. Phenomenal!!!

I thought this was a great place to eat. Regional spins on tacos. Foodies will love it here. Very flavorful. Do not dine if you want American-​ized «Mexican» food.

I am a picky eater, and I fully recognize that. That being said, I have many friends and family members who do not have that problem. I thought I would just order the kids meal to go. My husband ordered two tacos, a drink, and the chips and queso. I figured no one would care. Boy was I wrong. I was informed that the kids meal was only for those under 12. That’s cool, I wasn’t trying to rip anyone off, I just didn’t want the unique tacos they were offering. I went around with the cashier and finally said that was fine I didn’t want anything. I ended up getting the kids meal after she called someone else to the front. I just think it would be awesome if there were some more traditional options. My hubs only liked one of the tacos and picked the steak out of the other.

Horrible experience, spent $ 25.4 tacos for myself and 2 for my wife. We both left hungry, because the tacos were very small! Very disappointing — Lincoln seems to have excellent food but this is not Mexican and not worth your money. Flavor wasn’t horrible, just not what we expected, especially for the price. I have never wrote a review on food in my life. but this one left us upset and we came home to eat afterwards.

I probably would have enjoyed this place a lot more if I didn’t come so hungry. The guy behind the counter told me that two tacos should be enough for one person, so I took him up on that and ordered the special (slumdog millionaire I think) and the Jamaican sensation plus a side of the chips and guac. After my two infant-​sized tacos came out, I realized I would need at least 5 tacos to approach satisfaction. They were indeed delicious, and I would definitely come back now that I know what I am in for. but given my hunger, I regret not going elsewhere.

So this place has gotten better each time I’ve eaten here. And trust me, because I eat here a lot.
Unfortunately they got rid of their queso – they said it was just hard to maintain the consistency. Hopefully they bring it back. The lemonade is a little too tart for me, but I’m not a big lemonade person so maybe try it if you’re into sour stuff.
The horchata is pretty good, I haven’t had it many times before this place so I can’t say how it compares to other places. But I believe it’s made with almond milk. The Thai tea is delicious too. Tastes somewhere halfway between Phở Factory and Banhwich. They’ve also added rice bowls and salads, so you can get your choice on one of those instead of the typical tortilla.
Each employee is also really friendly and helpful with recommendations/​explanations. I wouldn’t expect anything less.

I found out about this place a few weeks ago & was pretty darn excited to try it. Based on all of the pictures & Unilocal reviews I saw, I knew I’d like it.
I ordered the Seoul Food (I think that’s what it was called) with beef. Being a BIG foodie, especially Asian fusion food, I HAD to get that.
I don’t want to say «salty» but that’s the only word I can think of right now for the sauce. But thank God for Sriracha! But overall, I liked it.
My bf & I also ordered the chips with guacamole. THIS IS MY FAVORITE. We devoured that thing in minutes. Guac tasted very fresh. The chips were crispy & flavorful. Definitely not oily like another Unilocaler recently stated.
As for the drink? I was actually pretty disappointed. Urgh, I LOVE LOVE LOVE boba, so my standards for it is pretty high. So I decided to play it safe & not get their Thai tea. I saw that they also had CUCUMBER LEMONADE. If you’ve ever been to Southern California & been to to Lemonade, then you know how AMAZING their famous cucumber lemonade is. Again, my standards for that is also pretty high. So, horchata it is!
I don’t know if it’s me or what, but my horchata was very sour. I could not take more than a few sips.
Sigh*
Overall, I liked this place. The service was quick and the staff was nice. Especially the tall friendly guy who took our order & recommended some items off the menu for us.
It’s a small establishment with enough sittings for everyone. AND, you can choose what kind of meat you want in your tacos as well! Plus ~
This is definitely a place I’d come back to whenever I’m in town visiting if I’m craving something more than traditional street tacos.

This is a really different take on tacos, so if you’re expecting traditional «mexican» tacos you’re wrong. That being said, it’s really refreshing to have a different take on tacos which bring some really unique and interesting flavors. We started off with the Guasacaca and spicy Chipotle salsa which were both very good. Not the best I’ve had, but still good. For tacos I had the One Night and the Peanut Gallery. I was very impressed with the Peanut Gallery (I’m a huge fan of Thai peanut sauce). Both tacos were very good. The tacos are very small but also pretty inexpensive. I loved the bread/​tortilla they’re served on. The restaurant is really tiny so it’s difficult to sit down, this will likely be a spot they outgrow like Honest Abes although I don’t think they will attract the same following. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the mood for something different!

The first time I had the Seoul Korean with steak and Thai gallery with chicken. I thought the Korean taco was a tad bit salty to which I couldn’t finish it. The Thai chicken was good. I didn’t like the cucumber lemonade which tasted weird to me. The guac was good but didn’t like the chips. They were too oily.
Second time around I tried the Thai tea which was good.
Overall it’s decent. A little pricey side but that’s because they’re not a typical taco.

A rare miss from the GUP restaurants. Maybe my expectations were too high.
I had the One Night and Seoul Food. The flavor was less than exciting and the portion size left a lot to be desired. For a $ 3 taco I expect a lot more. Hopefully they make some changes to bring it up to the level of their other restaurants.

Quick Tips:
— Tacos are a little pricey but you get what you paid for in good flavor
— Dining area is small, but HEY, they’re tacos. Sit outside and eat them on the curb if you need to.
— You pick your own taco to meat combinations
— Not your typical tacos, but ask the cashier for meat to taco suggestions
— 2 to 3 tacos should fill you up
— Really fast service, had tacos in my hand at around 5 minutes
— Good service, they asked how I liked my meal. Friendly.
This place is pretty good. It’s not your standard taco fair but that’s what makes Como Se Taco stand out. They have 7 well thought out taco combinations that work for specific «worldly» variants of tacos. Your price depends on the meat you choose for whichever taco you choose to order. I really wish that they didn’t let you pick the meat, you know they specifically choose the flavor combinations to pair with certain types of meats so why complicate the menu? I see why they did it, to please customers into having more options, but I personally trust their gut. They could at least have on the menu next to the names «Suggest choice of meat: Chicken. To help lead the customer into making the right decision because I firmly think that choosing the wrong (or incorrect) meat can change your look on how the tacos taste. For example, I had the One Night taco and thought that chicken would be the best choice. The One Night was very good, almost a kick in the mouth of flavor but there was something missing which was the correct meat choice. I thought it would have tasted a lot better with the pork. I guess that’s also another reason why they give you a choice, so next time I can try the same taco with a different meat. I also tried the Seoul Food (with steak), Lima’s Parade (with pork), and The Peanut Gallery (with chicken). My least favorite was probably The Seoul Food taco with steak. I thought the steak itself didn’t have very much flavor and the sauce over powered the taco and adding cilantro would have helped. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good taco but it didn’t stand out as much among the others. The Lima’s Parade (with Pork) was probably the most well balanced in terms of flavors. I felt the ingredients complimented the meat instead of trying to mask it. The pork itself was tasty and could stand on it’s own. If it made sense, I would probably order every taco with pork as the meat. The Peanut Gallery (with chicken) was also very good, a thai themed taco with a sweet thai peanut sauce. I really like the peanut sauce because I’m a sucker for sweet food but again it was a little empowering over the meat and other ingredients. The amount of sauce is pretty much a personal preference and small gripe but some of the sauces had just a little too much of a big kick. If they could find a balance in the sauce to ingredients ratio I think the tacos would taste even better. All of the tacos had rice, which I thought was a little unnecessary for tacos. Maybe the only taco it worked for was the Seoul Food taco because it had kimchi fried rice and added some depth to the overall taco flavor. For the other tacos, the rice didn’t really make a difference. They should just add more meat. I also had the chips and salsa which was pretty good. The chips were home made and had the perfect amount of salt on them. The salsa was a tomato based pasty salsa. It was good but it was almost like an italian salsa haha, if that makes sense. As opposed to chunky salsa with fresh cut tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime, and whatever. Their horchata was alright, it had a little too much cinnamon for my liking but I did appreciate the sweetness it had. Sometimes a lot of Horchata can get watered down and it becomes tasteless. There was a hint of Jasmine or something different in the horchata but I couldn’t pin point what it was. Overall the place was good and I would definitely go back and try it again. Possibly try some different taco combinations and see what’s good. It’s a little pricey for tacos but the tacos are good for what you paid for. If they made Himica I would probably eat there all the time. Place is definitely better than Honest Abe’s.

This place is fantastic. It’s in the old Honest Abe’s space in Meadowlane, run by the same owners. Tonight we had the guasacaca, which is a Venezuelan take on guacamole. It was excellent and went well with their homemade horchata. We also had Gup, Seoul Food, and One Night tacos. All of them were unique and tasty. Think Sebastian’s Table in terms of quality and creativity, but Honest Abe’s or a food truck in terms of being casual and fun. Definitely looking at trying the rest of the menu.
It’s not the fanciest restaurant in town, but we had a great time and had plenty of space to settle in and have a very good meal and nice conversation.

The new venture from Ground Up restaurants is another success. All of the tacos are definitely worth trying and it is fun switching up the different protein options. A couple that really stuck with me however were the Jamaican and The Peanut Gallery. The drinks are great to go along with the tacos. The Thai tea is killer and ridiculously good and the Horchata doesn’t disappoint either. The Guasacaca is a smooth, creamy guacamole with a kick of lime that is an awesome addition to the tacos. The next time I am intending to try the other salsas, but one thing that completes the dish is the chips. I am assuming they are made in house and are nice and thick perfect for scooping up every last part of the salsas and sauces. The interior: Awesome. I am such a fan of this smaller space that Abe’s used to be located within. It houses a lot of excitement, especially when this place blows up and has lines coming out the door too. It is all part of the experience and part of the fun. I’m a fan of the mostly white color scheme that they used as well as the fun graphics within the restaurant. All in all, if you like Honest Abe’s, you will like Como Se. The fun and functioning flavors within the tacos, awesome and super nice staff, and generally pushing boundaries within Lincoln, NE confines of food, Como Se is a must stop for anyone who likes food in Lincoln, NE.

We tried out Como Se Taco tonight for the first time. My (not so adventurous) husband had two pork Plain Janes. He said they were okay, but he left hungry. My son had a Plain Jane and a Korean taco. He LOVED the Korean taco and said the Plain Jane was good too, but not as good as the Korean. I had (at the suggestion of the people at the counter) a Korean Taco and the Lima. I really liked them both, but I liked the Lima by far the best. We also had chips and salsa. We weren’t crazy about the salsa. It just wasn’t the kind we prefer. Not bad though. The kiddo and I will be back again, as we loved it.

First time trying this place. Always have loved the Honest Abe’s chain, but not a fan of the tapas at Sebastian’s.
Wanted to give this place a try, and is was a pleasant experience. I’m a big fan of Korean food, so I went with the Seoul Food. It was saucy, meaty, and full of flavor. I enjoyed the experience.
Taco prices were slightly high, but that’s how the food prices are for this local company restaurants. I would certainly go back if I had a quiver for non-​traditional tacos.

Be forewarned: there is no «normal» taco. And, a «normal» taco is what I was expecting when my buddy decided that’s where we’re eating. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Here’s how ordering there works: there are currently 5 different tacos you can choose from: The One Night, the Seoul, and the Lima Parade seem to be pretty popular. Then, you choose what kind of meat you’d like on it: steak, chicken, pork, or tofu. If you’re really hungry I would order 3 tacos.
I had 3 Seouls and mixed and matched the meats. Whatever meat you choose, it’s topped with Asian-​themed fried rice, cilantro, daikon and carrot slaw, crispy wontons, and the meat is marinated in a teriyaki-​like sauce. The tacos were pretty darn good, I just wish they were bigger. We also got chips and regular salsa, which was pretty bland. I’m sure the specialty salsas have more flavor but I would give an 8 out of 10 to our meal overall. I definitely recommend that everyone gives it a try!
