There is plenty of seating, with usb ports and ac plugs next to some seating areas. We ordered from a very friendly gentleman. Missy ordered the Ultimate quesadilla and we ordered small bowls. Husband's bowl was the potatoes, pork, bacon, corn and mixed shredded cheese. I got lettuce, ground beef, corn, bacon and mixed shredded cheese with the cilantro sauce on the side. When Missy got hers, and she had to wait longer for it, she got salsa and cilantro on the side. Mine was mild, which was good for my temperamental, sensitive stomach. I ate every bite. It was so good for Missy, too. Husband enjoyed his immensely, but had a tough time finishing it. It was spicier than anticipated. It was the pork, more than the potatoes. That was confirmed by the pleasant woman who put our bowls together for us. It was all good - fresh, hot, & spicy and mild. We'd definitely look for another CJ's, or come here when we're in Knoxville. Maybe we should have gotten those CJ's cards - buy five meals to get one free!!

Never seen omelettes by day, tacos by night, but these guys should franchise this concept! Ordered 3 of their specialty tacos for $11. The taco shells were fried up in front of me before being filled by a culinary artist. I mean to tell you, this guy made a masterpiece out of whatever it was I ordered. And, as a bonus, they were delicious, too! Also got a side of chips and salsa, both were exquisite! Both guys working the taco joint were really friendly and the grub came up fast. Only negative is they don't sell drinks. Had to go back to the front desk and pick up two Dos Equis from the hotel convenience fridge. Really wasn't a negative at all, but would have preferred to have it all on one check. Guess the Company gets to pick up the beers! And by the way, Illinois kicked the snot out of MSU and moved to first place in the Big 10!

The staff was pleasant and made an effort to take care of us, but the overall execution could have been better. The food was average at best. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really impressed us or stood out as something we would be excited to come back for. We expected a little more based on the overall experience and left feeling underwhelmed. The ambiance had some positives -- the atmosphere had a nice feel and the setting had potential -- but it didn't fully match the experience we were hoping for. There were some good elements, but it didn't create the kind of memorable dining experience we were looking for. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, but it also wasn't one that left us wanting to return. We appreciate the effort from the staff, but considering the average food and overall experience, we don't plan on returning.

I like the atmosphere, with the inside feeling more like a sports bar and a nice patio outside. Service was also good, but I didn't love the food. Chips were cold and the salsa was watery. I ordered the Coyote Burrito, which contains a trifecta of steak, chicken, and shrimp and a white sauce on top. The turf meats were fine if needing more seasoning but the shrimp definitely tasted a few days past its freshness. It was an okay Mexican place.
