Tacos El Plebe delivered on dynamic flavor and good energy!…read more 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.

WOOOOW! All I can say is - BEST taco spot in town…read more We normally go next door to Taqueria Mary BUT with their prices being so high and their wait so long we decided somewhere else. We saw THIS spot -Tacos Las Brasas and decided to try it. We're from out of town and don't know the area much, only in town when we visit family. They speak Spanish but also had someone come out who spoke English, cool dude. He helped us with the order and got half an order to try. Man, were we hooked!! We ended up choosing their to eat and ordering for the whole family. 6 taco orders of different kinds but each one had great flavor. Definitely recommend the one with avocado and cheese (sorry, don't remember name), but you won't go wrong with your choice. The frijoles (beans) were so good we had to get a large cup of it. Man! Will definitely be stopping here from now on when we come see our family and will tell them to EAT HERE! Definitely don't just take my word for it but if you're in town, try it out yourself!

Pro #1: Meat is sooooooo tender. I wish it had more seasoning ... even if it was salt nonetheless…read moreit was good! Con #1: This restaurant is not environmentally conscious. Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets. So I asked for a sweet teas. They charged me for three Aqua Frescas. Charged $15. Hell no. Meh. Pass on a second visit.

Another recent discovery here in Mission, TX. This small restaurant is off the main road in a strip…read moremall and seats maybe 40-50 people. The menu is simple but offers some variety. We were served a small plate with warm, crisp tortilla chips that were sprinkled with a seasoned powder (not Tajin) that was pretty salty. I shook off the powder as it made them too salty, even for my tastes. The greenish salsa was also a little salty but VERY TASTY and had a little kick. From where we were seated I observed the cook blackening the tomatillos on a grill in the kitchen. These were the backbone of this salsa. If it weren't quite so salty I'd be raving about them. I ordered a platter with three main items - Lonches, Sincronizada and Street tacos. All three items must be filled with the same protein, so I chose Birria. Other choices include pollo, bistek, trompo and fajita. The birria was nice and juicy and well seasoned. The Lonches were larger pieces of bread than I'm accustomed to finding, especially in Progresso, where they are quite popular. They were also toasted it seemed instead of being soft and pillowy. The street tacos were excellent with toppings of red onion and cilantro. The Sincronizada was something I'd never eaten before and was a smaller version of the one they serve as a main course. It was not the traditional dish which comes with slices of ham, but it was pretty good filled with birria. Charro beans were also served if I remember correctly. I ate one of the lonches, one of the tacos (the other I gave to my son) and the Sincronizada and was stuffed; leftovers for a later meal. The wife ordered the full version of a Sincronizada filled with pollo (chicken) and wasn't able to even finish half of it. It was huge! They brought us two bottles of salsa - a green salsa and a reddish/orange salsa. Both were pretty hot by my standards and the reddish one would absolutely hurt you if you added too much. So... a word to the wise... caution advised. They were quite tasty. All in all we will come back. I particularly want to try out some of their other proteins and their fajitas.

The other waitress was there and I'm glad she wasn't the one attending us. Service was the only issue last time I was there really because food was amazing. I ordered the Tacos de Trompo again, very tender and mixed with crispy bites, flavorful as always. It has that beautiful red hue, tastes better than it looks. The charro beans were very fresh, packed with great flavor really enjoyed it. The loaded baked potato was outstanding, chose fajita this time on it. If you want some authentic Mexican tacos de Trompo and others stop by here and indulge in what they have to offer, you will not be disappointed.

The tortillas are small and paper thin just like in Monterrey, they slice the pork thin off the tropo and finish it cooking on the griddle. The next day I came back for a burger sencilla. The beans are on point. The service is great, but there is a surcharge for using cards. I took my food to go both times, but they now have an eating area which they did not a year ago. I don't live in the area, but always get my food here when visiting family. The ambiance looks nice in the eating area, but there was no one around when I went by at around 5pm. Highly recommend this place. If you have not been by in a while, they have reversed the drive-thru area.

The lady working was very helpful, she told us the items and how much stuff cost. The vibe was interesting since it was completely empty when we came in, but they had just opened. I ordered the beef tacos that resembled birria although I forget the actual item name. It was a 10/10 perfect dish. The flavor was impactful and the texture was perfect. It came with plenty of toppings on the side to do with as you want. It was an amazing price for the food you get. I would love to come back here.

A few cilantro leaves, almost none, mixed with onion. I don't like the tip request when paying with card when ordering to go. Hard to park with big vehicles and very few parking spaces.
