South Omaha’s dining scene is preparing for a new addition. Building permits filed on September 12, 2025, show that Tacorito Restaurant is making improvements to the commercial kitchen at 2809 Q Street, Omaha, NE 68107.
The location was previously home to Jalapeño Mexican Restaurant, which appears to have closed in recent months, according to recent Yelp and Google reviews. Now, this high-visibility corner in South Omaha is set for a fresh start as Tacorito prepares to open.
While little is known about Tacorito’s full concept, early signs suggest a continuation of Mexican and Latin-inspired fare, with the potential for tacos, burritos, and other casual favorites. The upgrades to the kitchen indicate the restaurant will be outfitted to handle a steady stream of diners in one of Omaha’s most food-rich neighborhoods.
South Omaha has long been a hub for authentic Mexican and Latin cuisine, and the opening of Tacorito reflects the ongoing demand for new dining experiences in the area. More details, including an official opening date and menu, are expected to be announced soon.
