    Fajita Taco Salad (beef)
    Renee S.

    I've been to this place quite a few times over the years when my son attended Western Carolina University. This family owned business is always bustling especially on weekends. Service is prompt and fast. It's a tiny place so the tables are quite close to each other but that has never seemed to bother me. This is the only place where I've eaten that has a Fajita Taco Salad. You have your choice of chicken or steak. It is full of green and red bell peppers, onion and the best part: classic Mexican cheese dip. This dip takes the salad to a whole new level. It's a different, yet delicious, take on your regular taco salad. I was able to swap out guacamole for extra sour cream. This is our family's go to spot for Mexican when we're in town. It never disappoints.

    Wow! What a wonderful little spot in the middle of a small mountain town. We were seated immediately which was a blessing on graduation weekend. The service was excellent. She greeted and got our drink orders off the bat and then brought chips and salsa. We ordered and within 10 minutes - bam! Our food arrived. I ordered the pollo chipotle. A chicken breast topped with onions and chipotle sauce. Paired with rice, beans and tortillas. It was SOOOOO good. I created two perfect little tacos and was completely satisfied. And the sangarita - don't get me started. So yummy. So glad we came to this place!

    Chicken flautas, chile poblano, hard beef taco. Amazing!

    Very good fast service. Alot of choices in Mexican, but this is where the locals/raft guides eat. Should tell you all you need to know!

    Enchiladas

    Went to Colima for a late lunch on Cinco De Mayo while vacationing in North Carolina. The waitress was very friendly and welcoming. The margarita was delish and the enchiladas were flavorful. Prices for drinks and food were reasonable. I will definitely return to Colima Mexican Restaurant if in the area again!

    Salsa in a syrup thingy??
    ToriAnn C.

    This place was very overcrowded. The salsa was dispensed from a syrup dispenser. The "salsa bar" they had was not very kept up either. When I was served my question for the chips it was on the cold side. My food ( I ordered a combo number 8) it was soggy. Like it had been sitting for a while. The chicken had good flavor and my friend liked her chicken tenders and fries.

    Easily my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Best margaritas by far! I've never had a bad experience here.

    While visiting Knoxville, TN, my friends were craving a seafood boil, so we ended up at Storming…read moreCrab--and I'm so glad we did! The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, and I believe there's also a bar area. We were seated right away, which was a great start. Their menu has a little bit of everything, from appetizers and gumbo to customizable seafood boils with different seasoning and spice options. Before our meal, they brought out their cheesy crab bread, and unfortunately I didn't snap a picture because we all devoured it within minutes. It was that good! I ordered a half pound of crawfish, a half pound of snow crab legs, and a lobster tail with the Cajun seasoning, "Make It Hot." Everything was delicious! The snow crab legs were packed with flavor, and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the lobster tail--it was incredibly meaty, buttery, and cooked perfectly. The boil also came with sausage, corn, and potatoes, making it a hearty meal. I also have to give a shoutout to our server, Amanda. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. She checked on us often, cleared the table as we finished, and gave great recommendations when we had questions about the menu. If I ever find myself back in Tennessee, I'd definitely come back to Storming Crab!

    Three stars pertain ONLY TO THE HOTEL part of our trip…read more Will we ever return to the philosophy that the customer makes everything possible? The hotel staff I encountered from the front desk to the valet exuded the feeling that I was there to serve them not vice versa. I asked for housekeeping to clean bathroom and let fresh towels and the front desk clerk told me to phone them from my room. I returned to my room (which was 700 steps away) and picked up the receiver on the 1980's style desk phone and punched the housekeeping button. I remained tethered to that 24" cord (no base speaker) for 30' and was then disconnected. I went back down and talked to a very nice young lady at the valet desk. She listened and then went to get me a housekeeping manager. Five minutes later the manager arrived and after hearing my requests, advised that the phone does not connect the dialer to housekeeping...it just rings and rings until it times out. This is not how I managed my business over my 50 year career. Now...the rest of the grounds including the casino were WONDERFUL and a treat to be there. We loved it. Just unfortunate for the one item described above. If you are going there, and, you need Housekeeping, ask to talk to them while standing at the front desk. Remember to tell them your needs and for how many days you want these needs to be addressed. You must not assume.

    Disclaimer: I was here for work. I was not here to gamble, although I did play some games. As I'm…read morenot a gambler, I don't have a strong frame of reference here to judge the casino. I thought the environment was fine. However, I do have opinions about food and hospitality. Overall, I thought that Harrah's was alright. The food was good (Although the market was overpriced), but the hotel room left a lot to be desired. I'm going to bring up the conference food as part of this evaluation, and I was overall, very happy with every meal I had while there. Zero complaints. Good quality, flavorful, good variety. If you're booking an event, the in house team at Harrah's does good work. My hotel room was on the west tower and felt a bit run down. It was quite warm when I came in, although turning the AC on full blast rectified that issue. What I couldn't rectify was the rubber seal on the desk falling off, and two handles on the chest of drawers having been removed by someone else. It just felt like there was a lack of attention to detail. More annoyingly, for a 3 night stay, at no point was my room ever cleaned or the bed ever made. I'm not saying it needs to be cleaned from top to bottom, but I'm very certain that no staff members were ever in my room during my stay. If they only clean the room on request, why bother having do not disturb signs? I had dinner twice, and breakfast once at Gordon Ramsay's market. I thought the items there were fine, but very overpriced. 4 dollars for a Chobani Yogurt that you'd pay 1.39 for normally, for instance. And that's before Tribal fees. My meals were pretty good though. Pizza, and fish and chips. Overall, this isn't a bad place to stay, and as someone who doesn't spend a lot of time gambling, the casino floor had a certain charm to it. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but if you don't mind a subpar hotel room, the rest of the stay will be perfectly nice.
