    We stopped in for dinner tonight. Overall, it was very good. The plus: service was very fast. Many, many vegetarian options! I had the shrimp quesadilla that had shrimp, cheese, green peppers and onions that tasted great. The two others that I was with enjoyed their meals. Chips were thin and crispy with a nice taste. It's very colorful through the restaurant, the chairs, tables and on the walls The minus: The salsa was very thin almost link tomato sauce. However, it had a bit of heat that was nice. Two of the plates were served with refried beans and minute rice. I've been all over Mexico, I've never even once been served a plate with refried beans and minute rice. I'd come back, it's a good place.

    Love this place! Made me a hangover tamale! Best resturaunt in town!

    What a gem of a Mexican restaurant in the middle of Oak Ridge! They were super busy on a Friday night but despite the place being packed, the service was super quick and efficient. Everything was so fresh and tasted amazing as well! Anthony was our server and he was super attentive with the perfect timing on drink refills, to go boxes and the check. Great value for the amount of food and they have a cute outdoor seating area! We will definitely be back!

    Chicken fajitas

    Best Mexican! They have everything for everyone. Excellent service and family oriented. Never had anything bad-queso and fajitas are amazing! Bright and colourful decor!

    Fajitas

    Ordered the fajitas with shrimp, chicken, and beef. Maybe they ran out of peppers and onions because my plate was loaded with zucchini, squash, and carrots. Never have I ever experienced this with fajitas. The peppers and onions give it flavor. Thus, this was basically a disgusting stir fry minus the soy sauce. No flavor whatsoever

    Fajitas for two.

I clearly stated that I wanted certain add ons to my sandwich for example: green bell peppers, yellow mustard, and banana peppers. And I also clearly stated that I DID NOT wanted mayonnaise and tomato. Guess what I got. Mayonnaise and Tomato. ALSO guess what add ons I got. NONE. Not my green bell peppers, banana peppers or yellow mustard. Really?? How hard is it to make a sandwich. When I called down to the place to explain what the problem was. Keep in mind. I kept my temper and I did not engage in any rude behavior. I kindly explained the situation and the person who was on the other end began to tell me that it wasn't his fault and that he made all the sandwiches correct. Well that's funny. Cause you clearly didn't. Seriously this place needs to step up their game. This place always has me writing complaints. And yes. This isn't the first time... Mind you I spent 40 dollars for all my food together. Just to get the polar opposite of what I asked for, when I could have just made the damn sandwich myself at home but I needed the connivence.. see how that turned out. Safe to say, I'm tired of given this place 2nd chances. I will never be returning. -Fuck off Firehouse

    I'm thrilled that FW has made its way to Oak Ridge--finally, a true sit‑down breakfast spot in…read moretown! Walking in, you'll immediately notice the open, airy layout. There are tables, booths, bar/counter seats, plus outdoor seating, and windows galore that flood the room with natural light. It's bright, cheerful, and instantly welcoming. Every visit I've made, the place has been spotless--dining room, restrooms, everything. Plus the WiFi is solid, making this a great weekday spot to work from when I want to linger; they've always seemed fine with me setting up at the bar counter in the corner and staying until closing. Service has always been great. Contrary to some negative reviews I've seen, I've not had a bad experience here. Every server has been courteous, attentive, and hustling--nothing sloppy, no waiting around. As for the food--nothing but hits so far. Every dish I've ordered has been delicious, the temperature spot‑on, and the presentation pleasing. Some of my favorite go‑tos: Morning Meditation Fresh Juice -- crisp and refreshing Market Hash -- two cage‑free eggs any style, atop fresh seasoned potatoes, with house‑roasted Crimini mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted Mozzarella, and herbed Goat cheese; served with whole grain artisan toast Bacado Omelet -- bacon, avocado, Monterey Jack, topped with sour cream, served with house‑made Pico de Gallo, lemon‑dressed organic mixed greens, and artisan toast They even rotate seasonal menu items, so there's always something new to try. Portions are generous--you're getting your money's worth and likely won't be hungry again until dinner. Bottom line: I'm a big fan. FW has raised the bar for breakfast in Oak Ridge, and I'm so glad they're here. Highly recommended.

However, we were seated right away. Our server immediately brought us coffee and got our 8 year old some hot chocolate (loaded with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, which he loved). It took a little bit for us to figure out what we wanted because there were so many good options. I went with their Italian inspired omelet with sausage, cheese, roasted peppers and tomatoes. My husband got the pick two from the lunch side with the super food kale salad and ham and Gruyère melt. While our son got the kids bacon and eggs with fruit and toast. The food came out at a good pace and was hot when it arrived. I loved my omelette. It tasted fresh and light and I loved the pop of the roasted tomatoes in it. The toast and jam they served with it were great. The grain bread was so good. I ended up getting potatoes instead of the salad (no extra charge) and they made them crispy which was just how I wanted them. The surprise for both my husband and I was the salad he got. Normally, neither of us are fond of kale but in that salad it was delicious. It wasn't super tough or butter which can sometimes be an issue. The melt was also good. Our son devoured his entire plate and was super happy with everything. Which is always a huge plus. This was a perfect place to come with everyone. It was inviting, fast and with good food. There are so many options that there is something for everyone and no one left still hungry or disappointed.

    What a nostalgic experience! Dan and I are visiting family in Knoxville. Today, we drove to Oak…read moreRidge where we used to live and had lunch at our favorite restaurant when Oak Ridge was home. I would love to move back to our Oak Ridge house. If we could move back, we would once again be regulars at El Cantarito and I will tell you why. I'm the frugal yelper. I love a good deal and I recognize value. That doesn't mean I like cheap food or don't enjoy fine dining. I just like value. That's what you get at El Cantarito. Their prices are fabulous and their food must be good quality because it tastes great. Dan and I each got a tostada lunch for just under $5. Dan got the tostaquac which included ground beef and sour cream. I got one with everything besides the ground beef and sour cream. Both had refried beans, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. Delicious. That came with rice and beans. The salsa was delicious, just the right amount of kick. I made the mistake of ordering the large beer without asking how large it was. It was 32 Oz. Dan got one, too. That was way too much for either of us, so we left much of it. The large draft beer was $4.99. During happy hour domestics are $1.99 for a small and $3.99 large. Modelo is a dollar more. It has a Mexican diner feel to it. It looks authentic and very much is authentic. During lunch hour it is very busy and a little noisy. We recognized our server but she didn't remember us. The check just said she's #2. She didn't recognize us. #2 gave us excellent service. We couldn't have asked for any better service. Oak Ridge is so lucky to have this wonderful Mexican restaurant. I hope they appreciate it.
