What’s Munchin, Muncie?! The other day for dinner we tried Los Plebes Mexican Seafood & grill #2! A newer Mexican and seafood restaurant here in Muncie! Here’s all of what we tried:
Sides/ appetizers: crab sushi rolls (I forgot the actual name for these on the menu I am so sorry 😭) elote, and chips and queso.
Entrees: Enchilada supremas, tacos de birria, Tacos El Pastor, Giant Taco.
Service: 10/10 our server was friendly, very attentive, happily recommended menu items to us and brought us refills and to go containers promptly without us having to ask.
Cleanliness of restaurant: 10/10 very clean and vibrant looking when you first walk in, dining room appeared to be clean. Our table was clean and not at all sticky. Also no fishy smell (always something you want to be mindful of when you are going to a seafood restaurant, especially if they serve sushi).
Appetizer rating: Our server did let us know they have both imitation and real crab meat for their sushi. We ordered real crab. It’s a crab roll, breaded tempura style with minced crab and avocado on top, drizzled in eel sauce and served with green onion and shredded carrot for garnish. I’ll give this a 8/10 crab was very fresh tasting and did not at all taste fishy. The avocado was nice and fresh as well. I didn’t care for the eel sauce and the breading was not as crispy as I would have liked it to be.
The elote was very good! 10/10 fresh corn with that cheesy and creamy flavor you know and love from elote! 🌽 ❤️
The chips + queso was good, but nothing special. The same that you can from puerta or any other Mexican place in Muncie. 8/10
Entrée rating: Tacos El Pastor was absolutely delicious! 10/10 These are pork tacos with grilled pineapple, fresh cilantro, and fresh onion. The pork was seasoned perfectly and the pineapple paired very nicely with it. I never had pineapple with tacos before, it definitely complimented the pork well and made for a uniquely and delicious tasting taco. if you’re worried about it being too sweet from the pineapple, don’t. The onion and cilantro balance it out perfectly. Tacos de birria 10/10. The tacos themselves were not too greasy, the tortillas were perfectly crispy, super cheesy on the inside! Yes the dipping sauce was greasy but it’s literally the fat from the meat so, there’s really no way for birria to be non greasy. If you’re not a fan of grease just don’t order these. Enchilada Supremas: 8/10 these are four enchiladas: bean, cheese, chicken, and beef. Amazing flavor and texture, didn’t care for the mountain of lettuce served with it. Next time I will order these no lettuce. Giant taco : 10/10. Best taco I’ve ever tasted and it was graciously packed with ground beef, sour cream, and wonderfully tasting cheese.
Skip the chain restaurant this week and give this local a try instead! Cheers, Muncie! 🍻
