El Muchacho Alegre (168th & Harrison)
The southwest Omaha location of a local Mexican favorite, with huge plates, house salsa and a full margarita list.
El Muchacho Alegre is a Mexican restaurant with several Omaha-area locations, and this page covers the one at 10177 S. 168th Avenue. Visit Omaha's listing describes the restaurant as serving authentic, bold flavors where the food is always warm and the drinks are ice-cold. It highlights award-winning chimichangas and boba margaritas as features, which is the clearest official description of the concept that we could find.
The restaurant's owners and history are not documented in any official source we could reach, so this page sticks to what is established. Local press covered a new El Muchacho Alegre opening on North 72nd Street in 2022, which indicates the brand has been expanding across the metro in recent years. A dedicated website with hours and a phone number could not be verified.
Menu details are limited to what Visit Omaha publishes. Chimichangas are the standout dish, and the boba margaritas are an unusual twist on a standard Mexican restaurant drink. Our own listing also mentions house salsa with chips, seafood fajitas and a full margarita list, but those could not be confirmed from an official menu during this research pass.
Treat this as a casual, drinks-friendly Mexican stop for groups. Because hours, phone and menu could not be verified from an official source, call ahead or check the restaurant's social pages before you go, particularly for the 168th and Harrison location, to confirm that it is open and what time it closes.
