Amazing service, great food. No complaints at all. They are super friendly and the staff are very nice and welcoming.

Tacos El Plebe delivered on dynamic flavor and good energy! Located in McAllen, I recently visited and experienced one of the best quesadillas I've ever had. 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. read more

This is place was gold! The environment is for every occasion, big family gatherings, friends, and/or connect with loved ones with an important theme--TACOS! With not wanting to miss out on any specific specialty taco, I decided to go with their Sampler Plus and boy was I happy to do that. Decided to do two Tacos El Plebe, Taco el Rojo, El de Asada, and Taco El Compa. If I had to choose, the Taco El Plebe had the edge but none of these disappointed. The sauces were on point and for the first time in a while, I felt that great kick but not over bearing. The grilled onions was just the cherry on top of tacos. And Tuesdays seems to be free cup of Frijoles Mamalones I was happy to be trying this place on a Tuesday, it did not disappoint but I was feeling it. I had to opt out of trying any desserts, but that just means I'll have to be back. They have a DJ and/or play music but it's not so loud you can't have intimate conversations or not hear your friends and family. The waiter said the weekends is jammed pack but I wouldn't let that deter me from trying to be here, there is plenty of parking and seating, just may come earlier rather than later. read more

We had been here a few years ago and when we knew we were going to be in town we decided we had to stop back to see if they were still as good as before. They are!!! They have two locations, but this is THE location - the original - the one with the great atmosphere and the one that has the food truck vibe that they started with even though it's a full-blown restaurant. We opted to sit outside because the atmosphere is just great. Our server was Jacob and he was great - appropriately helpful and attentive without being too attentive. Now - I should say that I'm not a street taco fan. In fact, this is the only place I've ever had a street taco that I liked - so that's saying a LOT. We started with the chips and queso which had some type of meat in it with cabbage on top - oh - sooo tasty! They'll bring you as many chips as you need to get every bit of queso! Very good flavor! The charro beans had meat and cheese and were phenomenal - the flavors and textures - I could make a meal of just the beans, but fortunately we didn't do that. We had the taco sampler which has 5 different tacos. I opted to do the 'step up' and made one of mine shrimp. The presentation was top notch. They came with cilantro and sautéed onion slices. Now, you may say 'they're onions - big deal' but those onions had an amazing flavor to them! I put some on my tacos, and I had several forkfuls just like that! The salsas all had really good flavor - each was different but great and each had some heat. I am totally a salsa snob - I admit it. These were on par with the rest of the meal - great! The tacos - an El Rojo Quesadilla; El de Asada Quesidilla; shrimp; El Plebe; and chicken with sautéed pineapple. The corn tortillas were perfect - not too dry and not too moist. Now - I'm not a corn tortilla fan, but these were perfect! Each of the meats was perfectly prepared and flavored. Every bite was a treat. I have never had a shrimp taco stuffed with so many shrimp - seriously! I was skeptical about the chicken and pineapple because, I don't like pineapple on food but I was pleasantly surprised that the flavors really worked! Our dinner was great. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food. Not too often that all three are found in one place. The only down side - El Plebe is 3 hours from where I live so I can't come back on a regular basis. But if you live nearby or are passing through - you are REALLY missing out if you don't try this place! read more

My sister and I came here for dinner. I tried the taco sampler and it was amazing! It's double layered taco. Some has cheese in between. My favorite was the chicken with pineapples. The onions on the side was a great addition too. They were really filling. I could only finish 4 of the 5. I also had a cucumber lemonade drink which was a great pair with these tacos and so much limes! I love it! We were also given small cups of a type of bean soup and some chips while we wanted for our tacos. Our water was kind and quick. Our table and chair is clean and stable. There's also a huge outdoor area. There is free parking out front and on the street. read more

Reasonable prices. Food cooked to your liking. Been a while since I've been there. I need to go back.

Everything we had was amazing! We got 2 of the $5 margaritas, the corn dip, and tried all 4 of the different tacos they had. They do 5 tacos for $11.99 so we had one of each and then 2 of the taco el compa's, our favorites were the Taco el compa and the el de asada tacos, it was hard to choose since we loved them all! Our server was very friendly & attentive, and the restaurant itself was very cool. They have a huge outdoor space that would be great for large groups! Overall we loved everything! read more

Everything about Tacos El Plebe didn't disappoint, coming from Houston where I have plenty of tacos on each street. The service the waitress helped me with was pretty quick and communicated all along letting me know how much longer (15 mins) for my Togo order to be ready. Make sure you spray yourself down with some repellent because I def got eaten alive lol. Ambiance is very relaxed and had plenty of TV's!! read more

This place is an absolute vibe! Cutest taco place that has a both inside and outdoor seating. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the outside patio and atmosphere. We went on a Tuesday evening after a baseball game. They had heat warmers and TVs playing basketball, and even had a live DJ! Outstanding ambience and the prices were pretty reasonable for the amount of food that you get. We will definitely be coming back. Honey got himself the taco sampler of 1 of each, and I myself got the shrimp tacos. ( shrimp tacos were phenomenal ) Oh! And I almost forgot, on Tuesdays they give out free cups of loaded cheese ground beef beans! Delicious! read more

Atmosphere was cool. They have fans everywhere outside - we sat under a fan, and it kept us cool. Also fans to keep the bugs off the food. I got the 5 taco dish. It was pretty good. The beans they serve complimentary with each meal were really good. Our party also got the nacho platter and that was delicious. Our waitress was great - but it was busy and sometimes it took a while to get her attention (not really her fault - they were slammed). We were in town for a wedding, but I would come back - might try their giant quesadilla next time. read more

We have had our share of tacos from all over. That said, we weren't too impressed with these. We had a papa asada and the taco sampler. If you're coming because you want great tasting street tacos? Keep driving. If you're coming for a nice evening with friends and a few adult beverages on the side, then this may be your place. They offer some seating indoors. Outside is where the fun is! They have plenty of picnic style benches on artificial turf. They have a small enclosed bar for your beer. A stage for live music. Overall, nice place. read more

Tacos El Plebe will always hit the spot! For an early dinner or a midnight snack after dt, this is your place to go! They have the best tacos!! Don't underestimate their steamed pork tacos, they're the best thing on the menu. I recommend the michelada, cheap & will get you going with a couple sips. The outdoor space is perfect and nicely decorated with shaded space. The live music was great and fits the vibe of the outdoor scene. As per the waiters, they are extremely attentive! Doesn't matter if they were assigned to your table or not if they see you have a question, they will help! Their service is extremely quick! P.S., every-time we've gone it's english pop music which doesn't match the vibe. You'll be listening to hozier while eating a "dip belicon" and "el compa" taco and a michelada. The menu and the music do not match the he vibe. This should probs change lol read more

This place is good. I love the birria tacos with the cheesey torillas mmmmmm they so good. The beans are not that great truth be told, and I really don't like the plastic tables.. the service is good they have clean bathrooms. the place is nicely decorated the outside is cool with a nice tv. Overall this place is good but just the beans are kind of gross.. read more

The food was amazing. I had the specialty plate. Each taco had its own unique taste. If I didn't live out of state, I'd definitely be back!

No one was around to seat. Two other gentlemen showed up and we both ended up leaving after 20 minutes. Can't say how the food was but pictures looked good. Smelled good. Was hungry. Taco Bell sufficed. read more

I randomly chose this place to grab some quick dinner. Best decision I made, the atmosphere, service and food (taco sampler) were all amazing. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Tacos El Plebe - Taco Taco el de Asada (Single Taco) - Tacos Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Food - I got the 5 taco sampler (Sampler Plus) which turned out to be a good amount of food. I was pretty stuffed after. Taco-wise, I started on the right and made my way left. Loved the first 3 that I tried - I think it was their El Plebe Taco, Barbacoa, and Al Pastor. The other 2 were a bit too peppery for me. All the salsas were good. Fair warning, the red creamy one has some fire to it. Service - The servers were attentive. I had one spoke in English and another only in Spanish. They made sure to check on me from time to time. Ambiance - I sat outside right in front of the food truck. It was nice and casual. It's a plus that they have clean restrooms. Location - I'm not from the area but I was in central McAllen and this place seem to be in the general vicinity. Parking was good but I was also there on a weekday. I think I read somewhere it can get pretty packed on a weekend so plan accordingly. Overall good. It got me curious enough to want to try other things on their menu and bring my husband back to try too. I'm in between a 4 and 5. Rounding up. read more

Great service and a really nice atmosphere. Was in town for work and it was great to sit outside and enjoy a cold beer and tacos while everyone back home was shoveling snow! Michelada was very good and they had a big variety of beer available. Staff was very helpful. I chose the 5 taco sampler. Some of the best tacos I have ever had. I would highly recommend. Only problem was Uber couldn't find it on the app, but we figured it out. read more

The service, food and ambiance did not disappoint. We started with a nice cold Michelada and it was huge and refreshing. We started with the complimentary beans and they were phenomenal. I actually would have been fine with a bean refill but I convinced myself to move onto another menu item. I had carne asada tacos and my friend had shrimp tacos. We also shared a small potato and it was all delish. Our server Jair was very pleasant and very attentive. We look forward to returning the next time that we are in town. read more

I went here visiting from San antonio and immediately felt the dirtiness of the place. The cooks kept walking outside taking out trash, etc. using the same gloves they were cooking with and doing other activities (I really hope they changed their gloves after). There are an extraordinary amount of flies outside which I understand, it is outside, but it's an incredibly weird amount. It's hard to enjoy your food. I ordered a quesadilla and unsurprisingly, found a nice black hair in it after eating a good amount of it. I would've taken a picture of the hair but had to stop myself from throwing up. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Gramma, who's been living in the Philippines for the last 10 years, visited the 956 for vacation & wanted some tacos. We took her to El Plebe because we felt like it was THE perfect taco place to go to if you've been deprived of 956 Mexican food for a decade. Atmosphere is great, they've added misters for the hot summers, little water fountains, and they keep the stray cats fed which is very sweet. Service is fast and friendly, and they have indoor seating as well. The parking lot is always packed on weekends, especially at night since people like to go for the drinks and live music. I always get the beef birria tacos with the cucumber lemonade and they never ever disappoint. It's definitely a unique vibe compared to the other restaurants here. read more

Tacos El Plebe - Tacos Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Great service, nice place to have a beer outside. The food is ok but I'd choose to come here for a few drinks over having a whole meal.

I went there as a new customer. The ambiance of the restaurant is really what had gravitated me to go. Since it was really hot we stick to being inside. The ramp to go into the building is a little steep and the platform at the top doesn't leave any room for error as a wheelchair user. To top it off fitting through the door with my wheel chair was very very tight. Asked the workers to open the second door so it would be easier but it is permanently closed. As far as being ADA accessible I wouldn't count on it. The food was really good and filling but they do charge for everything the water is a water bottle so you're paying for refills. Customer service was great they were very attentive. read more

Looks like this backyard taqueria is doing well and will likely continue to grow in popularity. Tacos el Plebe is so popular that there are not enough parking spaces in their small lot that many people must find a spot to park on the surrounding streets. Despite the fact that this taqueria is run from a food truck, there is indoor seating with clean restrooms. But most of the seating is out back under an open sky and strings of lanterns with some tables under a shelter. They recently expanded their backyard and laid down some artificial grass to create a cozy, relaxed environment. There is also a screened-in sports bar section out back. When we were there there was a nice band singing 80's songs in English and Spanish at just the right volume so we could still carry on a conversation. Pet-friendly too. And if some flies come around, you can ask for a fly fan to scare them away. Service was a little on the slow side, but that may have had something to do with every table being occupied and the fact that they had to cook a fresh batch of shrimp. I had the taco Sampler Plus. I'm not sure which taco was which, but I think my favorite was El de Asada Quesadilla and I was tickled by the grilled chicken with caramelized pineapple one. And like other people have mentioned, you can upgrade your charro beans with carne asada and mozzarella for a small upcharge. read more

Love the tacos from this place , I enjoy the torta de suadero, my wife likes the nacho combo

First time visiting Tacos el Plebe. Went around noon and at the time found seating quickly. It was hot out so dined indoors. The staff were quick and proceeded to explain some of the menu items. We tried the taco sampler and found the barbacoa taco to be the best. Had the lonche plate as well. I had it with chicken. It was good, but it was a bit messy for me because of the crema. Lol, maybe I'm just a messy eater. Had the cucumber lemonade and that was great. We also really enjoyed the chips with queso that came with the lonche plate. They were really good. Over all the food was great, staff were friendly, and would definitely recommend. read more

I'm writing this review, still sitting here in the restaurant, as I have ordered seconds. It's that good. I also have two simple things to say : 1 - This would be a place that would go above other 5 star reviews I've wrote. The pure taste of the tacos takes it to that level. It's in the running for best thing I've ever put on here 2 - if this place continues to get 5 star reviews it's gonna get so famous that there will be lines to get in, so maybe I shouldn't give it 5 stars and come back next time For realz tho - the tacos. I got the sampler and I can't find one that's not close to perfect. There are two that are next level though. Barbacoa and Steak Asada. But for reals it's just the Barbacoa that is the single best thing here. The salsa selection that comes with it too is fyre!!! Supposedly they just opened this outside seating and it is such a great vibe out here. This place is a must stop and it won't be long before it becomes even more than Texas Famous read more
