The place was packed and we still got good food at good time at a better price than other places in Knoxville. The only thing is the waiter that was a bit mad probably because of how much people were there but it’s understandable. Good experience overall ??.

We go often with entire family. We were there Tuesday and our waiter never came to check on us. When we needed refills or order something else, we went looking yet again.I will go back bur will need a different server

The food has no seasoning. The salsa was basically tomato sauce with NO seasoning. I had a fajita chicken chimichanga. The chicken, and it was exceedingly overcooked. The margaritas were basically lime-aid with no detectable tequila.

You come here, and they treat you like family. The taquitos were amazing, but the mojarra frita is OUTSTANDING! Not to mention the margaritas ! But our most favorite part of the visit, was LUIS the bartender. 10 stars ⭐️

We enjoyed our time here until it came to get silverware. We were brought two rolled napkins, with dirty forks and knives inside. I asked about getting another set(I've worked in the food industry and know this accident happens, so I was not irked by this at this time). Once she went to get the new sets, I overheard the host talking disrespectfully about us in Spanish to the man who was rolling the silverware. I guess she assumed that caucasian people don't know any Spanish, and was openly verbal to him about her complaints of us, along with a few disrespectful names she happened to have dropped while angrily walking to the back to get the new sets of silverware. I would totally recommend this place, but sadly, the host ruined it for us. For us wanting to get reasonable service, to get talked down to within ear shot was not enjoyable, and we left upset. If it were not for the good food, I would have gave this place only 2 stars. Heed this warning. If you need ANYTHING done while here, you will get an attitude and a bunch of rambling from the host to the other employees.
