This was our first visit to the restaurant. One of our friends suggested it as he'd been here a few…read moreyears back and enjoyed the food. So off we went with six of our friends. First off, let me say it's just a small place. A true "hole in the wall" as far as inside dining but they do have a nice space outside; a beer garden. The menu is pretty limited with a few appetizers, a total of maybe 6-8 entrees and a couple desserts. Our friends did appreciate the various beers and wines. We started with a freshly baked pretzel, served with either chocolate or Nutella to dip into or a nice spicy mustard. The pretzel wasn't heavily salted which was nice and had a really nice flavor. For my entree I chose the Jagersnitzel, a thin pork cutlet pounded thin, breaded, fried in what I perceived to be butter and then covered with a delicious creamed mushroom gravy. It was OUTSTANDING! I've had the same dish before at several German restaurants and this was superior to all of them. The crust, fried in butter? And the cream gravy? Oh wow.... Oh and the sides... red cabbage and fried potatoes with onions. All great German comfort food and very tasty. Several of our friends ordered the same entree with different sides. My wife had a very nicely presented salad as one of her side dishes. Another friend had spetzle which she said was really good, maybe a touch salty but good nonetheless. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and said we'd definitely return next season at least once or twice. The service was timely, not hovering and we had plenty of time to chat, definitely not rushed. Waters were refilled promptly, drinks reordered, etc. We appreciated that they did not automatically add in the tip of 18% for our party of eight as is customary at so many restaurants. In the end I'm certain she received a far greater amount than the 18%. Be aware this place is small and out of the way. Difficult to find even. It is on the west side of Ware Rd, which is a divided roadway at that point and you can only make a right hand turn into what appears to be a narrow roadway back past another business before seeing the building that houses the restaurant. But rest assured... it is there. There is signage on the west side of Ware. Follow your GPS. It is well worth the drive out to this restaurant. Prices aren't too high, the food is great and you'll enjoy a nice leisurely meal.

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.

This is place was gold!…read more 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.

Great atmosphere and the music was great too a mix of everything. Customer service was good over all. To begin with this place is pretty big its more of outdoor place, but they do have 2 little indoor rooms which is pretty cute. Which they have a table and some chairs. The Bar is in the middle of the place surround by several food trucks and tables and high tables also. Totally different from any place in Downtown night life. The food and drinks are a little exorbitant but its kind of worth it. Not gonna lie the food is delicious , though the only thing I've tasted are the Gorditas de pollo. Moreover they also have games which my friends and I played. One is Bag Toss and Jenga those are the only games we saw maybe they had other ones inside the indoor rooms. we'll have to go again to check. Furthermore if y'all are looking for a great time and chill place come try this place out its worth y'alls time.

It looks like they have two food vendors outside but only one was open. It was a small taquero man making tacos. I had an order of ref tacos and they were really good. The brewery itself has a huge outdoor area. Inside is very military themed. Patches, medals, bullets in the bartop under the glass the whole nine yards. The beer is excellent. They have a lot of styles on tap and not just 7 IPA's. Theres stout, porter, IPA, Hefeweizen, etc. They probably have what you're looking for. Definitely stop in and sample some brews!
