El Pobre Mexican - Waynesville

The food was quite good but as others have said, it is served in to-go containers with plastic silverware. It isn't a big deal but why can't they serve it on plates like every other Mexican restaurant? I also didn't understand the build your own, pick-2 choice which had 8 choices but 4 of the 8 had a upcharge. I found it a little high priced for the quantity. Again, it was good, but I wouldn't go unless I couldn't get in to Guaybitos.

Lovely place to eat. Family environment. Friendly. Family owned. Very great service. My family and I are planning on going back for we found a gem.

Today was my first visit. I ordered beef and cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. I was shocked at how good it was! The flavor of each individual item was way better than other Mexican restaurants in the area. It tasted like fresh, homemade ingredient with love. My only disappointment was the chips are fried in the same fryer as flour tortillas and I have celiac disease; however, my server knew what to sub in my meal to make it work. Perfect hole in the wall spot and I will be back. Service was great as well.

El Pobre has excellent food, fresh ingredients, friendly customer service are always willing to go the extra mile. Portions are huge they are so kind as to separate the tortillas from the meal to prevent them from being soggy after my hour drive home.

Steak burrito was great, Queso was even better. Would highly recommend.
