Meet Our Chef

At the heart of Muchachos, is family. It’s what inspired Nick Maestas to dream up the concept of Muchachos.

Yo!

I'm Nick Maestas

I took the New Mexican flavors I grew up watching my grandparents prepare and mixed it with my own love of smoking bbq.

Do yourself a favor and just let loose, order whatever sounds delicious (everything) and don't think about healthy diets because that's definitely not why you come here. Brisket and hatch Chile Mac and cheese burritos?! Yes, it's amazing. This Place is so good it's full of downtown suits at lunch hour even though the atmosphere is definitely more of a dive/permanently parked burrito truck. Owner was hanging out at the bar while I visited, seemed like he matches the personality and vibe of the joint completely. Come support a great local business and get fed some of the most mouthwatering food in the city.

I effing love this place. The hatch mac quesadilla is delicious as are their street tacos. Bonus that they serve coffee drinks and a good alcohol variety. The staff is kick-A too.

Excellent vibes, better tacos. I ordered two tacos and said fill em up with whatever you think I have to try. (Because I’m annoying.)She did not disappoint!One chicken & one brisket. Couldn’t tell you which is better cuz they were both awesome. I now understand why everyone has been talking about this place. My only regret is not listening sooner!

Very tasty food. The place was clean and the staff friendly. I had the brisket nachos (pictured). The balance of ingredients was about right. My wife had the hatch-mac with brisket. It was also very tasty. Portion sizes were respectable. At plan to return.

Staffs pretty nice food is of good quality but everything on my plate was cold. Drinks were very good but no hot sauce for the bloody Marys, though still very good.

Nick and his crew delivered on catering our rehearsal dinner for our son and his bride to be! Tender and delicious meats, a bucket load of chips and tasty queso (in the best way!), their famous mac, and all the fixins needed to fill up over 30 of us! Leftovers were enjoyed by many families!! Everyone complimented the chef! Highly recommend! Mucho thanks Muchachos!

If I could merge Beer, Tacos and Coffee everywhere I go, I would. That’s what Muchachos did. And we aren’t talking sub-par, mediocre anything, it’s all GOOD. We tried a lot of things on the menu, but the Giverito was the bomb. The meat wasn’t fatty at all and it was cooked very well. It’s a college town so if you’re taking your kids, be reading for some cultural indoctrination, but it’s not in your face like a lot of places. This will be a definitive stop for us every time we come to Lincoln. Do it.

You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu, but the hatch mac with pork and the works is my go to.

Dang good street tacos. The place is New Mexican, not Mexican so expect a different flavor. Smoked meats, use of green chile, slaw, lots of good stuff. Everything I've had here is pretty awesome. Seriously comfort food.

This place is why 'eating local' is important. They're doing it right here. The burrito that has macaroni and cheese and brisket in it! The nachos! So good. They have cool drink options too and there is such an emphasis on local appreciation here, from the artwork to the craft beers. If you're a Lincoln resident, get in here. If you're visiting, it's worth the stop!

We were thrilled to discovered this place on a Saturday afternoon. The concept is brilliant! You start with 3 varieties of smoked meat and you take it from there! We tried the nachos, hatch mac, and tacos, and we left impressed! Generous portion sizes, fair prices, and quality food make this a must try in Lincoln! Thank you for the great meal, cold brew, and making us feel welcome 550 miles from home.

Nice small place. The food has a "food truck feel" which is nice. Prices are ok. Staff was friendly. I believe parts of the proceeds help the foster system, so that's great!

I ordered takeout here. I got an iced caramel latte with oat milk and a mac hatch burrito with chicken and green salsa. It was all soooo delicious, especially the latte. The inside looked cute and I am definitely going back here with friends to try more on their menu. If your looking for a fun dinner or lunch spot, Muchachos seems to be the perfect place.

Delicious meat options. The brisket is my favorite. The Hatch Mac is just incredible. Red and green salsas are great too. I just wish there were more veggies on the menu. Not a fan of the slaw.

The best of the best! Great concept that has grown and the food is beyond delicious. Hand crafted food that is beyond compare to anything Lincoln has to offer. The staff are friendly and always make sure you are taken care of regarding your meal, drinks or convo. The owner is a one of a kind human who puts his customers and employees first. Let’s not forget his desire to improve the lives of others. Yo Muchachos is one of the best in the area for multiple reasons.
