    "Famous" Grande quesadilla
    Teresa M.

    Ambiance, great. Small down feel, nice servers and staff. Watched the bartender make the margaritas and it was pure booze. The flour chips and salsa were bad. The cheese dip tasted like thick burnt cheese. I am guessing everything is smothered here. I ordered a grande quesadilla and you couldn't tell that's what it was. Same for the burrito. Everything is just a soggy mess. The shredded beef inside the "quesadilla" was good but I would never come back here. I think people go here just because they have been going for years and years, not for the food.

    If you want a strongggggg margarita, El Bee's is the place to go. Most of the food is some combination of meat, tortilla, and a crap ton of cheese and sauce on top, but they still get five stars for the margs. Also, I know it's a Mexican restaurant, but they do have the BEST chicken strips, waffles fries, and ranch.

    Service and atmosphere, and margaritas were awesome! ..however we haven't been in awhile, and it totally was a disappointment! The tacos were so greasy, couldn't eat them ( they didn't offer me anything else, or apologize when I left them either) .. meat was so blah, it wasn't Mexican at all .. plain ground beef .... Taco Bell has more spice ! ? won't be back, and if you go.. stick to the margs, and chips ( they were good !)

    Beef tacos.  No flavor and just sad.

    Trash. I went after work because of reviews and tbh this is white ppl Mexican food. Waterloo folks need to go to south Omaha for real Mexican food. If you are desperate and really really hungry I guess you can go here. Idk how this place gets good reviews, I was totally disappointed. After taking a couple bites, I then made myself 2 scrambled eggs. Well there goes 89 dollars I'll never see again. El bees you suck and your cook should be ashamed

    This nasty mess was made by elby's said it was a burrito don't waste your money or just go pick up some roadkill

    The prices have gotten out of hand here plus, they charge $9.95 for salsa and chips!!! The food however, is pretty good.

    El Bee's is the best! I love their Huevos rancheros. It's my comfort food. We go at least once a week!
