Tried this restaurant again. Horrible experience! They seem…read moreapathetic. Peach margarita tasted nothing like a margarita. Returned it. The woman I told was unresponsive and didn't care. Food was bland and guacamole was just blended green tomatillo but couldn't detect any avocado. Service was slow and they were sitting in the back of the restaurant talking to each other. Salsa was too sweet and we had to add salt to doctor it up. The salt shaker was dirty with caked on food. Gross Beef fajitas were served barely warm. Glass windows are dirty with children's finger prints, chair legs are splattered with dried food on them. Will never return!

We will not be back to this place.... My bf ordered beef…read morenachos and a order of cheese sauce with chips. I ordered a burrito with shrimp, octopus, a whole poblano, avocado, shredded cheese all inside the burrito. I also asked for a lot of limes on the side. They came out after we took our order to go so he could check on it because he asked me numerous times about the cheese I wanted. I had said I do not want anything on top of my burrito and hate the liquid cheese. The person who made my burrito used the liquid cheese, similar to nacho cheese consistency on top. No shredded cheese inside. So they didn't give my bf his cheese sauce he paid for. My burrito was nasty. They didn't put a whole poblano, the first half of the burrito had a few small pieces of poblano, barely any octopus, no shredded cheese inside, they didn't give me any limes. I HATE this crap cheese sauce that "mexican" food places use in Tennessee. Legit Mexican food places don't use this fake liquid cheese. My bf said his nachos were good. Problem is.. I was on the toilet all night because of this cheese. I say this because it was the same cheese they put on his nachos and... he was sick to his stomach for the rest of the night and then he had his turn on the toilet.

As we wend our way to Florida, we spend the night in Bristol for one main reason. This restaurant!…read more (The Hilton Garden Inn hits all the marks too, but as I have nothing to add I'm not updating that review.) My husband ordered five enchiladas each with a different stuffing. While delicious, unless you haven't eaten since last Thursday, who can consume so many enchiladas?! I shouldn't talk. The house special quesadilla -- always excellent -- is a lot of food. Ever resourceful, I took half back, put the chicken and peppers on a bagel and ate it for breakfast! (Note to self AND my husband: next time let's split one and maybe forego the steak and chicken. Chorizo and shrimp?!) Moving on, the salsa bar is great with smooth, chunky, mild and spicy salsas. That's not counting the warm bean spread brought to the table with their thin and crisp chips. Our margaritas -- $6 each -- are not only good but pretty, topped with berries and a flower. Here it is, Monday night -- not a typical going-out day of the week -- and the place is busy with locals. Pretty good testimony to what's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

**April 2025: Wednesday Late Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I were driving from Charleston, West Virginia to Pigeon Forge, Tenneesee and needed to rest and eat before heading to our destination. We're both from southern California so we have high expectations for Mexican food. When we entered we were plesantly surprised by the warm and colorful atmosphere. The chairs and tables had beautiful carvings and it just put a smile across my face. My friend and I each ordered a dish and honestly we probably could have shared one entree since the portion was enormous. Flavors tasted authentic and it was very filling. We had a ton of leftovers. Overall, a solid spot to enjoy some ethnic noms.

What really annoys me is all the upcharges and "service" fees and card fees. They add them to your bill before even knowing if you are using a card. And most of the time I use cash. Also it is against the CC laws to charge fees on a debit card, but they get by with it. I have had $5-6 extra fees on meals, so I quit going.

This the worst service I've ever had in my life. The person was with both ordered at the same time…read moreand their food came out before mine which was just 3 simple tacos with beef and cheese only. When my food finally got to me it was lukewarm. Never could get the waitress attention to fix the problem. Had to sit for 5 minutes for the waitress to refill my drink. The whole time the waitress is giving off an attitude vibe. She acted like she had somewhere else she wanted to be other than there. I will not be back and would not recommend to anyone else. Would have given negative Stars if I could have gotten away with it.

My husband is making me put 3* but personally I am more one or two star max. Very flavorless. The…read moresalsa was tasty best part of the experience, the choriqueso was nothing but bland cheese dip and a whole bunch of chorizo grease. Not good at all. The sausage tasted like burnt beef with chorizo grease to me. The tacos de carne asada were completely flavorless. The meat was browned and it tasted like that's it, not even browned in its own fat. It reminded of eating at your dreaded aunts house who don't even know what salt and pepper is. Then they tossed some onions and cilantro on it and called it a taco. I wasn't a fan, husband said it was tolerable when you added the red salsa they served it with. However the rice and beans again flavorless, so much so my husband didn't finish the side dish and that NEVER happens. For a small town with not much else to offer they had food and it was semi edible. Personally I wouldn't return but husband said he would give it another chance. That's why we are at three stars.
