A former colleague recommended Tacos El Plebe and I'm so happy I took his recommendation. It was a…read morefabulous meal on my trip to the RGV. The inside is really simple, picnic tables and turf. They have a beautiful outdoor patio, but it was a bit warm for a Midwest girl on my visit. I had the El Plebe and Taco el Campo as well as a classic margarita. They also brought each of a small cup of beans when we sat down. That was comfort food in styrofoam. Service started out strong but as it got busier, our server was a little less attentive. No worries though--we enjoyed the crowd and chatting.

The foot-long quesadilla blended tender carne asada, two cheeses, onions, spices and other flavors into a buttery, crispy tortilla. Absolutely delicious! The frijoles were also fantastic- great blend of lime and broth. The service was impeccable. My waitress was knowledgeable of the menu, kind and attentive. I also loved the atmosphere, they had the World Cup playing and it added to the good vibes.

With the very cute decor, I had a 10/10 lunch experience today. Very good reminder there are good honest people in this world that serve really really good food. Will be back every time I am in the area.

I was told that the restaurant gets packed on the evenings and weekends. The staff was very friendly and I appreciated both the Spanish and English they spoke to me in! I ordered the Lonche lunch special (8/10). I had never had Lonches before and it was a nice little treat. The ground beef was placed in small bread and they provided some accompaniments to dress the lonches to your liking. I really enjoyed them and hope to come back and try out more entrees in the future! Go check them out, you won't be disappointed!

However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!

She brought a cup of beans as a complimentary appetizer, which by the way was flavorful, unlike many places I've had them. I ordered the bistec tacos on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. I'm not from Texas and forget the onions they serve down here are grilled and not raw like most other places. The tacos were small, street style tacos and the meat was cooked and actually charred a bit more than most places I've been to around here. In other words, the tacos were good! I will definitely be back!

When I needed assistance he was not available. I only saw two people working. The food took long. The kids meals was disappointing. The tacos were greasy and the tortillas were stale. The meat was flavorful. Plus really over cooked. It was my first time at this establishment. I definitely will not go again.

The service has been good the times we have visited and our orders come out in a timely manner. The vibe is pretty cool, they do have loud music playing and this past weekend they had someone singing live music. We tried the nachos (half order)- I would rate them a 5/10. They serve a good portion however our chips were stale. We have also tried the papa with the meat- 7/10 pretty good, great portions. My fiancé really liked it. This would be a repeat order for him, for me personally, I would try something else. Lastly, 9/10 is the giant quesadilla. This is what you go to El Plebe for! It is delicious and definitely a shareable. You can share it between 2-3 persons. The flavor is fantastic and unmatched. You cannot go wrong with this order. We add crushed takis to the taco. It's sooo good!

I found a fly in my food and this fly was a horsefly! It was huge and gross, like any normal person I brought it to my waitress attention. Thought I would at least get a new salsa & tacos for the inconvenience since I didn't want to touch my food anymore. They just took my plate and left me there for a long while. Nobody came to my table to check up on my or apologize for the inconvenience. When it came time to check out they only took $2 off of my check?!?!? But they took my whole plate of food that I didn't touch after I saw the fly and told them.

We got sat but it didn't take a long time for us to get greeted and taken care of. But once she did come, we got things rolling. Hubby and I once again got a handful of tacos and he decided to try one with "sweet bread." Didn't enjoy that one, the texture was too mushy and not pleasant. But the rest tasted good. The beans/pork cup they gave us had a good flavor but there were just big chunks of pork fat in them so we didn't really eat those. My friend got something popular in the area called "sincronizada" and it was like this giant burrito. We all helped each other eat it and devoured the rest of the tacos. Very reasonably priced and a good end to our trip!
