El Poncho in Kleve

Delicious piece of meat. Recommended for meat lovers

In the Netherlands, Loetje may be known for its good steak, but La Poncho is no less. Yes, the menu is similar to other Balkan restaurants (which I like, the grill counters are always excellent and I love Djuvecz rice), the difference here is the super good steak.

Delicious food, definitely worth repeating.

Good food for a good price. The atmosphere is good. The gentlemen at the counter work hard and are friendly. There was a slight smell of smoke in the restaurant.

Delicious food for a great price

Later in the evening, most tables had food, it took more than 1 hour before we got our food, the neighbors had to wait 1 1/2 hours. When the neighbors paid, there were extra drinks on it. We didn't have mayonnaise and ketchup on our table. We waited fifteen minutes to pay and then they went to pay themselves and we had to go back to our table. Checkout also took half an hour. The food was excellent.

Very satisfied and recommended.

The food is great and the salad bar is very good.

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

Very tasty, the meat was cooked perfectly.

Very tasty meal with mixed grill for 2 people. Was super price quality perfect service friendly and attentive We will definitely come back

The food was very good and the staff was very nice.

I highly recommend very good food and not expensive

The restaurant was fully booked and guests without reservations had to be turned away. Nevertheless, the food and service were excellent.

Again the service and reception were excellent. The service is simply good and the food is delicious!! Until next time.

Recommended and definitely worth repeating. Delicious food, hospitable, friendly waiters with a sense of humor. Make a reservation otherwise there is a good chance that you will not be able to attend.

We were there for lunch because there was soup and a dessert for free, the food was very good and the service would be happy again

Food top Service as always in a good mood and friendly

Baked potatoes with quark instead of sour cream as described on the menu, rancid herb butter, turkey steak was good. The food there is not consistently good. Sometimes it tastes delicious and sometimes it's just okay. Everything is okay in terms of price and quantity as well.

Good value for money, friendly service

Today we had a last minute meal with the two of us on the advice of someone. We both ordered some kind of mixed grill, after I asked which dish was on the menu and was rejected with a dish number that I could barely understand. The meat was extremely salty, a piece of pork that was impossible to get through was so dry - this was pointed out to the waiter who waved it away with: yes, that is pork, yes, sorry. (I also indicated that I did not want a new one because I had enough) the other meat was also nothing to write home about in my opinion. Staff didn't seem to be interested in it, so quickly paid and left. Unfortunately

Delicious food. Classic steakhouse. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly and clever service. Prices are good. Quality of the food too. Good parking options.

You can also order options that are not on the menu. Good quality meat

Good vibes. Food service is quick and very high quality. Waiters very friendly and kind. Definitely a go-to in Kleve/Emmerich!

Had an excellent meal, rump steak very delicious

Huge portions. Also extremely tasty.

Best Schnitzel we had in a long time!!

Disgraceful store. Despite an early reservation, there was no space available and no insight from the boss. In the end, I was even accused of lying. Unbelievable!

Delicious food again. The service is good. Smooth and Dutch is spoken in addition to German. Truly a restaurant for carnivores

The food is ok but the staff is not nice and smart. For example: They told the customers that "it's great that you send it, but it's better to go with heat", which in my opinion is not appropriate in the alley restaurant, of course I strive for it, E l make a poncho with it.

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.

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.☺👍

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.

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

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

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

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

Delicious food in a cozy restaurant

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Staff great food very good would be back again

Very tasty and and and We recommend.

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

Very tasty food and friendly service.

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

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

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

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.
