Forever my go to place!! Love the combos there and I've been getting the tacos de bistec combo but…read moreI switched it to the lonches combo the past few months. The taste and flavor in the beans is great, I LOVE the potato that comes with the combo, plus the price and value is worth it! Never had an issue with this place and I've been going since high school to the Donna location. I usually take it to go but when I sit down they are very nice and attentive. Always clean

El ambiente familiar muy padre, y arreglando como un pedacito de México . Se los recomiendo.

I honestly did not like this place. There were a lot of things except for the service. Hostess was…read morenot at the entrance. I did not know what to do when I walked in. There were probably like 3 tables with people. So no reason for the employees not to be attending customers walking in. But the waiter was nice and tried his best to keep track of every table. 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.

El Plebe has become our new go-to for an evening of good food and drinks after our long drive from…read moreHouston. 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!

As a review update I have to give this place 5 stars now!! Last time I came here the wait was long…read morebut it was definitely an off day. I'm so happy to come back and finally meet the super nice owner who warmly welcomed us and wanted to give us an amazing experience. The service was very fast and accommodating :) We ordered the beef nihari, butter chicken, chicken biryani, and naan. The complimentary chips and salsas/chutneys were given complimentary in the beginning and we loved how spicy some of them were. The owner gave us some extra dip as well! All the main dishes tasted authentic, as if they were made at home with love. I've been craving nihari for a long time and this one was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! It was creamy and hearty with the most tender pieces of boneless beef. The butter chicken was very flavorful and rich. The gravy was addicting to eat and that bowl was completely empty at the end of the night. The chicken biryani was great too! Each of the curries came with a bowl of white rice. I'll be coming back again and again and can't recommend this place enough for the best desi food in the valley!
