Very good hole-in-the-wall with Honduran and Mexican food. I wish I had tried more Honduran stuff,…read moreor I wish I had gone with more people to try some of the dishes clearly meant for more people. I was just there for a simple lunch. Had some very tasty shrimp enchiladas; chips and salsa (especially salsa) were a notch above the usual. Also they have a good selection of bottled beers from Mexico. I do wish their menu had a bit more info on many items. For example they had a whole page of pictures of breakfast dishes, but no description (in English or Spanish) what they were...and the pics weren't clear enough to make out what all was there).

Found this place after missing two places traveling through Knoxville. So happy we did…read more It's a small rustic place, very casual. It actually has a small grocery store in the back. The service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Gives you a family owned feeling. We started with the Papusa's. So fresh and tasty. The masa was delicious and they were very cheesy. I could've ate this for the entire meal. I had the fried chicken on top of plantains covered in cabbage and tomatoes with salsa and drenched in a fantastic tangy crema. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Jacob had the same as I, but with beef. The ground beef was so tasty. I could eat here every week. I have never had Honduran food before, so I don't know if I can say the following statement. But, I felt like grandma was in the back making a real authentic family meal.

This place is a mix between a sparse convenience store and a hole in the wall restaurant. But, if…read moreone looks past the informality, one would see a place where workers and families stop on for some tasty, home style South American food. I picked up a burritas hondureñas, which was like a corn tortillas sandwich filled with meat, eggs, beans, cheese, and avocado. It was good but the hot sauce on the table kicked it up a notch. The papusas were everything one could want and more. Cheesy, thick, and topped with a tangy curtido. I left feeling pleasantly plump and happy to see a place like this on my quick trip through Knoxville.

I was close to leaving a 1-star review due to the long wait, but I'm giving 3 stars because the…read morefood was good. I waited a little over an hour for my order 2 empanadas 2 arepas and 1 cachapa and the main issue was communication. When I arrived, there was only one person ahead of me, so I expected a quicker service. 30 min Later I was told there were many phone orders before mine. A heads-up about longer wait times would really help customers plan better and decide to wait or not. The food has good flavor, but better organization and communication would improve the overall experience.

It was cheesier than I expected and just too much. The cheese overshadowed the taste of the meat which was the main reason I ordered the Cachapa that had meat. One good thing though is that it wasn't heavy and did not give me indigestion unlike other heavier, cheesy foods. I should have just ordered an empanada instead. Maybe I'll give them another try if I'm the area to see how the empanadas are. Perhaps that's what people have enjoyed from this business.

First, note that this indeed is a "full service" restaurant-- many similar places in grocery…read more stores are not. They have a full menu, serve beer, etc. just like any regular restaurant. Very plain in setting (tables, chairs etc.) but the food is the real deal. I just had some tacos and a horchata (delicious and very big). All were very tasty; however I would say that the meat quality was just rather average, not 5-star worthy. Also, when I get these traditional soft tacos, I prefer when they bring out a bowl of onions and a bowl of cilantro and let me load them up as I like, rather than it being pre-mixed. Oh-- the grocery store is probably the largest Latin grocer in the Knox area, of one of them. So it's great to go for any Mexican/Latin food items too. I would be going back SOON if I lived nearer or was there around time to eat. Very delicious!

First, I thought I had reviewed them already-- so if I do two, that's why…read more I'm giving this 5 stars relating it to other SIMILAR places-- that is, Mexican restaurants within a grocery store--- i.e. more limited menu (although their's is pretty broad), not full bar-service (but they have beer), and not fancy. For what it is-- it is really scrumptious. I had a few tacos, a ceviche tostada and a beer. BIG lunch-- I took one taco home. All the items were really chock-ful of meat. The carnitas on that taco was way too much to be able to pick up the taco with it all inside. They had a good mix of onions and cilantro on them, although I'd have preferred to add my own (I LOVE cilantro). I wish it was nearer; I'd go back often.

The salsa and chips--- First bite tasted like tomato paste to me, very tangy and had a kick of spice. Chips were warm. No Guacamole!!!! What Mexican place has no guac? Chimichanga de pollo-- Shredded chicken with some onions, peppers and covered in cheese sauce. Fajitas mixta-- Steak was a little tough and chicken was very thin slices. Lacked some spices. More onions, green peppers and tomatoes than meat. It wasn't bad, but for our taste we have had better. The whole meal lacked spices. Would we recommend? Yes, give it a try, you might like it. Salsa is good but it's too tomato pastey for us.

The salsa was a bit too watery and the cheese sauce was very thin, but I was glad they brought it with the chips. I ordered Roberto's Special, basically arroz con pollo with a side of rice and beans. The chicken was grilled well and being smothered in cheese sauce, chorizo, and onions didn't hurt. The Al pastor street taco was fine but lacking in some flavor. You can pancho (punch your) ticket to this place when craving Mexican food. Not my best pun I know!
