El Poncho in Kleve

The new chef is fantastic...... The best food in Kleve

Big portion and really good taste

We rediscovered the steakhouse after years and don't know why we haven't been here for so long. Great food and great service.

Delicious food, fantastic service! We can learn something from the quantities of drinking and especially eating in the Netherlands :-)

Pleasant. Tasty food, always good quality, nice and correct waiters

Delicious food, beautiful location, pleasant and friendly staff.

Cozy restaurant, where the customer is still king. Friendly staff. I had one of the tastiest steaks ever here. Dishes are beautifully served. Salad bar is extensive and fresh. Toilet was clean. The only downside was that the parking lot was full when we arrived. But you can park for free across the street, near the gas station. I will definitely come back here.

At El Poncho you can always enjoy a delicious meal. I think there is something on the menu for almost every taste. Meat dishes seem to be preferred in combination. The ambience has been familiar to you for years, the service is friendly, even in the mood for small chats, you are welcome. The price-performance ratio is good. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to whether there was enough space or accessibility for wheelchair-bound people. Thank you for the delicious food.☺👍

Well attended, attentive service, good selection of food, prices reasonable.

It was really bad. Don't know how the positive reviews come about. There was no question as to whether the steak should be medium rare or anything else. Unfortunately it came to an end and was already well done. Then the salad bar was full of little flies... My friend still had broccoli on her plate. When I asked why I didn't have any, she said "yes, women always eat so many greens" aha ok..... us don't go there anymore

Very nice there. We felt comfortable. Food was good. Gladly again

Excellent restaurant with very good offerings. The food tastes excellent.

Delicious food in a cozy restaurant

First time here. Great restaurant. Good service, a waiter with a sense of humor and a delicious meal. We will definitely eat here more often. Highly recommended.

We've been eating at El Poncho on certain occasions for years. The food is always very tasty and the service staff are very friendly and accommodating. You can tell that the team is very well coordinated. This means you don't have to wait long for your food, even if the restaurant is busy. There are various very tasty dishes for adults as well as children. Everything we have ordered so far has tasted excellent. Vegetarians probably won't be happy here, but that's less the target group here. We will be back many more times and can highly recommend a visit here.

Delicious food price/quality/quantity is TOP

Super delicious fillet steak from the grill, salad is available from the salad buffet, large selection. Fried potatoes as a side dish were very good, service was polite and very attentive...

Delicious food, friendly staff. Excellent service!

Very delicious meal here. However, it is very busy here on Saturday evenings, which makes it a bit too loud and the waiting times become quite long. All in all, it is definitely recommended, especially if you can go outside peak time.

Waiter Thomas and super guy, cozy and super nice and makes a lot of jokes with all customers, we will come back just for Thomas. And of course the food is super good.

Wir waren mit Freunden da.Der Service war sehr freundlich und lustig ...fast ein wenig Distanzlos...das Essen war gut. Die Weinauswahl könnte besser sein.

Very good food. However, it is served quickly one after the other, so it is not a matter of sitting quietly

The food was tasty, if only this (sorry) unbearable waiter wasn't with his "jokes". Well, at least today he was apparently so bad-tempered and rude that he didn't make any jokes.

Ate dinner here on a Friday evening. We had not made a reservation, but they found a table for us. I would advise anyone to make a reservation on a Friday or Saturday evening, as the place gets quite busy around 18.00h. We ate a schnitzel with fries and made use of the salad bar. The food was great and very reasonably priced. I can highly recommend Steakhouse El Poncho.

Steak quality is definitely up there 👌. Great service too. The server Thomas made our night! This place is going into my favorites

Tasty, cozy, we will come again

Another delicious meal with the whole family. Unfortunately, prices have risen recently, especially for drinks.

Always delicious and friendly service

Little room for improvement, meat great, side dishes tasty and the service manages to create a relaxed but also fun atmosphere. If we are in the area again, we will definitely stop by again.

Best and funniest waiter in a long time!! And the food was bombastic too. The two of us had the steak platter. It felt like I was in a feeding coma for 2 days.

Unfortunately I wasn't completely satisfied. With the baked potato there was quark with herbs instead of the promised sour cream. Champions from the jar and briefly fried, sorry, an expensive sirloin steak requires fresh champions and the green salad from the salad bar was already slightly browned. I was here 20 years ago ... not much has changed in terms of food. It was definitely my last time.

Had a nice evening. The food is delicious, the service is good and it radiates tranquility. You can enjoy a relaxing meal there.

Very tasty and nice ambience, you should reserve a table in advance.

The salad bar is good and so is the food. Is worth a visit!

Delicious food, mega portions. Very friendly help from Thomas. Will definitely come here again from the Netherlands!

Very pleasant and good food very friendly staff very helpful

Nice restaurant, great food, friendly service. The restaurant has a very cozy interior, with a partially open kitchen. The outdoor terrace, located at a busy intersection, was expanded to include an extension, similar to a winter garden. In both areas you feel comfortable and friendly. The food is good. You can put together your own salad at the open and extensive salad bar. Unfortunately, the restaurant does not offer any alternatives for vegetarians. Even if it is a steakhouse, it would be desirable in this day and age. The service is very attentive and friendly.

Super tasty, service friendly and attentive

Meat palace of the finest kind. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is unique.

Fantastic food and service, the waiter was very friendly, and very delicious food

We visited the restaurant with a larger group and everyone in the group was very satisfied. The grill dishes were well prepared and the meat was consistently juicy. The pork fillets we ordered were still delicately pink and the steaks were cooked to the requested degree of doneness. All dishes included salads from a salad buffet. I always find this very convenient because I'm picky when it comes to salads and it gives me the opportunity to only take what I want. The restaurant is very large and very busy on weekends. I therefore recommend making a reservation in good time, especially if there are more than 2 guests. The cellars are friendly and we were served quickly throughout. Even with 9 meals ordered, everything arrived hot at the same time. I only deducted one star for the service because after we had finished eating, we realized that the restaurant needed the table and so they packaged it in a joking but understandable way that you didn't have to sit around.

Tasty and very good food..nice service.... Always eat there when we are in the area

Delicious food! We will definitely go back here

As always, top food and super friendly service!

Voor de beste biefstukken moet je hier zijn ook andere vleesgerechten zijn heerlijk. Salade bar is ook erg lekker en dit met een heerlijk biertje. Klasse plek.

Well eaten in a nice atmosphere

Very nice service, good food. In the conservatory, windows and roof can be operated if the weather changes Recommended

We were curious whether El Poncho would be better than El Toro. After all, on behalf of corpses, and in Kranenburg it was becoming increasingly busy. The food was fine. Don't expect culinary delights, but for the price you pay you can't really say anything about it. We had a dish with a lot of meat, but the ratio of meat to mushrooms was a bit off. "Obert, there is mold on my meat." Service, on the other hand, was great. The gentlemen were very friendly and having two dogs, one of which still needs to learn how to eat out, was no problem. Don't expect idyllic scenes and a terrace with a beautiful view: peace and quiet is sometimes hard to find along the main road to Emmerich near a traffic light. All in all, our experiment to leave El Toro in Kranenburg for what it was and drive towards Kleve was not a negative one, but the extra travel time is too much for us to make this our new permanent spot.

Ik ben al 10~tallen malen hier met mijn vriendin geweest. Het is ALTIJD goed hier. Nooit meegemaakt dat we wat te klagen hadden. Wel reserveren vooraf. In de zomer buitenterras nemen.

Staff great food very good would be back again

Very tasty and and and We recommend.

Very tasty food and friendly service.

Very nice and cozy restaurant, delicious food, we will definitely come back here 👍 10

Nice place, unfortunately my special request couldn't be implemented but food It was still very tasty.

We went here on a Saturday so it was very busy so we had to wait longer for our food. However, the wait was worth it. The steak was excellent and we really liked the service too. What I find a bit of a shame is that there are no dishes with salad. E.g. Caesar salad or salad with strips of beef fillet.

Service was great, it deserved 8 stars, the steak was great

Food was good, service was good and funny. I will definitely go there again. Thank you for that.

For the first time in our lives, we waited 2 hours from ordering to serving dishes!!!!! We were shocked. First and last time here...

When we are in Bocholt we always eat in Kleve. Really great. Delicious schnitzels.

Delicious food and very entertaining, funny waiter

Nice restaurant. Roomy. Friendly staff. Very funny even. Cheers with two oos 🤣

Very tasty food. Very friendly staff who speak all languages, which is definitely a plus. The steak was delicious. And certainly value for money. Highly recommended if you ask me.

Great food, nice staff, it wasn't the last time we were there 👌

The outside looks old and run down, but once inside it's a different story. The service is friendly, fun and pleasant. The decoration also feels Mediterranean. The food is not really a tour de force, but simply tasty and perfectly prepared. We sat outside on the terrace near the advertising board and it could use cleaning because the dust and cobwebs were hanging on it and that is not nice food and in general it could be cleaned a little better. Everything else is great

Thanks to Thomas for the great service and the fun evening!!!

Ate tasty, but it wasn't exceptional. Nevertheless, I can recommend the restaurant. Nice entertainment from the staff, attentive host.

We eat here often. And for good reason. Food is good, service is helpful and funny and the people around you are happy guests. The only thing I miss is that they ask how you want your steak. But yes, for the rest great restaurant.

Great food and nice service. Prices are reasonable

I ordered a grill pan, it was too soggy for me, no bite left

Hello everyone, once again on the way to dinner today I was at El Ponco and ordered medaillons Hawaii with fried potatoes. The meat was quite good, not too tough and not too dry, the homemade hollondaise was delicious. Fried potatoes could be crispier for my personal taste. The service is super funny, cool sayings you have to get along with but I like it a lot. Overall I give it a 7.8/10

Very good meat. Impeccable service and a pleasant setting. Excellent address.

We found a very good steak house on the outskirts of Kleve. We also ate a delicious starter dish (salmon on toast). The main course was very good. The selection is large. The entire team is in a good mood. Highly recommended.

Super cozy, super sweet service, delicious food and drinks..👌🥰

Always great food and very great service...We have been coming regularly for years and have been more than satisfied so far ;)

My visit to El Poncho Steakhouse was an overall pleasant experience. I opted for the gourmet plate, which had an impressive selection of different meats. Each portion was deliciously prepared and reflected the quality of the ingredients. The salad from the buffet was also fresh and varied, so there was something for every taste. Although there was a small incident with an incorrectly taken order, this was resolved quickly and professionally. The staff were friendly and sincerely apologized for the mistake, which only added to the positive impression of the restaurant overall. The atmosphere at El Poncho was cozy and welcoming, and I would definitely recommend this steakhouse for a relaxed evening with good food and friendly service to visit.

Good food, great service, thoroughly enjoyed it

You can go here for good food with confidence. We will definitely come back.

Would recommend- found this place after trying 4 other restaurants in the area which were all rubbish! The German waiter was very helpful and fun, helping to create a nice atmosphere, and in general the service was very quick. There is a large selection of food at reasonable prices. Both our meals were delicious and large quantities but remember - you must only visit the salad bar once 😉

Highly recommended, worth driving to. The 5-star reviews are really true! Incomprehensible that a few people give 2 stars.

Recommended, cheerful waiter who makes a lot of jokes and also speaks fluent Dutch. Good food too! Definitely worth it.

Very nice service and very quick, plentiful and delicious food 😉

Simply good, no fuss, prices represent quality. If they were to raise 10 euros, we would still come and eat. Do what they promise.

Went there for dinner with my elderly mother. Ober was very nice to her, with a dry, dark sense of humor, which I really appreciate! Life is serious enough! Food was TOP in terms of price and quality! We will definitely come back!

Update from 2024: even after several years, we still enjoy coming here to eat. Above all, the gentleman with the red suspenders is always a highlight for us, friendly, quick and absolutely service-oriented. Our children especially love the salad buffet - we especially love the charming service, the quick service and the delicious steaks. 2020: We are always very satisfied here. Quick drinks, good food and super friendly and funny staff. You are also always welcome here with children. Special requests are no problem. It's better to make a reservation, as it is often full, especially in the evenings.

Tasty fresh food, very sweet and nice service, very pleasant and good and a lot of food for your money and certainly not expensive ❤️

Had a lovely meal with our children last night

Delicious food, the restaurant was full, had a lot of atmosphere and even though we had not made a reservation and it was busy, the staff provided us with a table. The waiter spoke Dutch and had a nice sense of humor.

Great food, great steaks, great service.👍

Ate there for the first time and I have to say, it is absolutely delicious 😋 always happy.

- Very good food with fast, good and funny service. I went to dinner with my girlfriend and had a very delicious meal. Good price for what you get, and the service was very good. The toilets were clean and tidy. Nothing to complain about. - Very good food with fast, good and fun service. I went to dinner with my girlfriend and had a very delicious meal.

I got the seeds with my friend when they were eaten and heeled. Good price for what you buy, and the operation was good. The toilets were nice and clean. Niks te complain. highly recommended!

Next time I've been there, I can really recommend it! Food was great! Lunch was perfect, delicious soup, second course also perfect, dessert just like that. Very friendly atmosphere and conditions. We would be happy to come back.

As always, we received friendly service...I can only recommend the funny Bosniak...stay like that...

We were actually regulars. Food great as always. BUT Since the waiters were "always trying hard" on the last visits and you almost had to beg for drinks several times, you should consider bringing the drinks with you in advance at the gas station opposite. Unfortunately, it's no longer the service you're used to from a steakhouse.

We hebben hier zaterdagavond gegeten. Het was erg vol, maar toch maakten ze een tafeltje vrij. Het eten was prima, ook de saladebar was lekker. Ik vond het echter wel vrij prijzige, we waren € 80 kwijt met z'n 2-en, en hadden geen hoofd of nagerecht. 2 drankjes tijdens het eten, en koffie/thee na het eten. Voor Duitse begrippen vond ik dat vrij prijzig, normaliter eten we ergens en zijn we tussen de 50-60 kwijt voor een vergelijkbaar restaurant. Het ging wel erg snel, en de bediening was prima.

We had lunch at El Poncho and ate a mushroom rump steak and a fillet steak with various side dishes. The steaks were great, the side dishes were tasty and fresh, only the hollandaise sauce was unfortunately canned. The service may be on the casual side but extremely attentive and quick. Only the ambience wasn't very appealing, rather outdated and didn't seem valuable either.

At around 5 p.m. we got a place for two without a reservation, very friendly service that took care of the guests, everything was great, we'd be happy to come back.

We have been eating at Milo's for years and are as enthusiastic as we were on the first day. Everything was super fresh and deliciously prepared. Price performance simply unbeatable. Service/operation perfect. Thank you and see you again tonight!!!

Very tasty food and friendly staff! I can only recommend.

Went here for dinner on recommendation. Unfortunately, but not for us anymore. Unfriendly staff. meat tasted like burnt meat. Beef kebab was overcooked. Cold plates, which means food cools down quickly. Pre-baked calambert, tasted of nothing. So no, we won't be coming anymore.

Fantastisches Essen. Dieses wurde allerdings noch getoppt von unserer Bedienung. Das hatte was von Stand-Up Comedy. Vielen Dank!
