Excellent salsa bar. Great menu and server. Our food was served hot and it was delicious. Highly recommended!
I love the food here!! the food was so fresh and testy! I tried the soup call Menudo for the first time and it was amazing if you are the big fan of cow meat I would say this is the best soup ever definitely recommend and the waiter was so nice and good service and go back.
They had karaoke mexican style. My new favorite Mexican restaurant. There are a lot in Knoxville. Do far I'm the only American lol.
Good food with plenty to eat. Only issue is we sat with chips only for 5 to 10 minutes and I saw someone walking by with a cup of salsa, about that time the server came by and said "oh yeah, there is a salsa bar around the corner". This would have been good information to know.
Oh my God, what can I say about a 10 star Mexican restaurant in? Knoxville, Tennessee! We have tried many restaurants in East Tennessee. This by far is THE best!!! the fish enchilada was to die for! We ordered a pictcher of margaritas and it was to die for! No premix here…!
The food here is always so good! The Pollo con queso was delicious and my husband enjoyed the chicken burritos.
