I heard about a James Beard-awarded restaurant in Mission, so I added it to my list for an upcoming work trip. We arrived around 9:15, so the place was quiet, but the waitstaff greeted us and were friendly and attentive throughout our dinner.We started with the corn ribs, which were pretty good--I loved the variety of salsas they provided in cute little cups on the table! For the main dishes, I ordered the carnitas taco, chile relleno especial, copy especial, and fajita vampiro. My favorite was the copy--you can't go wrong with a classic fajita taco with onions and cilantro. The twist here was that it was made with half blue corn and half yellow corn tortillas. Very cute idea!The vampiro could have taken first place if it were a soft taco; while the flavor was fantastic with the fresh guacamole and cheese crust, the crunchiness made it a bit hard to eat. I have to say, I wasn't a fan of the carnitas, though. I'm not entirely sure what makes this place James Beard level, but it's definitely a solid taco spot!PS--I really appreciated the sink in the dining room to wash hands- especially with tacos getting messy!

I don't know what all the hipe is about. I found the food so so and lacking in variety, the atmosphere more of a lunch place (but the hours are not lunch hours) but the service good. I also do not like eating on a tray with plastic ware that I had to ask for and having tissue thin napkins for wiping my spills.

Ana Liz se descuido! We had not been in a while but loved the food previously so we were so disappointed this go around. The salsas no longer come with the tostadas they used to serve. We ordered guacamole and chips and the chips were dripping with grease. We asked for new ones but they weren't much better. The explanation was that they had just come out of the fryer and had not had time to drain-doubtful since they were not hot. The tacos were just mediocre. Hopefully it was just an off night because the quality is definitely not the same.

Loved it! So many haters saying it's not that good and talking about service. They are busy. Line out the door. It's going to take a few minutes to get your food. Proud of what they accomplished and will support this place because the food is worth it! My friend thought it was too expensive. I disagree. Worth every penny. There's a difference between tacos and great food. One makes a turd and one makes a memory. This is truly elevated tacos . I had the fajita vampiro. Added the orange salsa. The tortilla alone is worth the price of admission. I gave Tacos El Plebe a great review and not to take away from what they do, but this is the best taco in south TX. Well thought out flavor, but simple. Every component sings. Simple ingredients but executed to perfection in harmony. I'm a food snob and gladly give this my highest rating EVER.

James beard awarded restaurant? I don't think so.. super small location and AC wasn't working. Took a long time for the order. Had a variety of tacos and salsas, can't give it a rave review... tough to stand out as a taco stand. I will say the appetizer of corn ribs were AMAZING!!! Next time I'll only get the corn... a bit pricey as well

Amazing!!! We went with a group of 6 people. We all had a variety of items off the menu. No one at the table had an item that they would not recommend. Love the sauces they bring to the table at the start of the meal. Charro beans are excellent - order with meat & cheese. The day we went, Texas Country Reporter was doing an interview for their show prior to opening. The staff didn't miss a beat with service / opening with that added appointment. Highly recommend!

Have always loved coming here. However my recent visit wasn't great. Portion and quality went down. This is a discada taco with less than half its regular portion. Compared it to visits from last year and left so disappointed. Social media pictures are not matching their actual servings in person.
