This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Food and service are both excellent. I love the pollo azteca and the margaritas are yummy and strong. Ask for Jose Roberto to wait on you and Milton the owner is amazing. I have been coming here for years along with my entire office and family. They make an awesome taco bar for our office meetings at work too! Check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

The service is fast, the chips are good salsa is decent. Cheese dip is good. Their refried beans aren't great, especially if you've ever had Mezcla's in Downtown Chattanooga you'll know the difference. Their quesa birria is really good here, same with their fiesta quesadilla it's good too. Their sweet tea is also pretty consistently good. Fajitas here are okay, doesn't stand out from others. The staff is nice too! read more

El Trio - Don't ask for sour cream on your tacos Lol - Mexican Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

This was our first time eating here and we definitely left impressed. It's got a nice ambience inside. Their homemade salsa is excellent, and so is there cheese sauce that they make for several other dishes. They serve generous proportions in my grilled chicken. Pollo dish was excellent. read more

El Trio - I think this is Pollo Asada. Whatever it was, it was delicious. There is also a homemade cheese sauce on the grilled chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

I eat here pretty often and this is a great spot for a good Mexican dish. We like the fajitas for 2 and usually have enough to take home for another meal. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. They also do a good job of keeping the drink glasses filled up and service overall is great. read more

El Trio - a restaurant with tables and chairs - Mexican Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

Traveling from Louisville to Kentucky, iExit recommended this restaurant. plates were hot hot hot! husband ordered a dish with tilapia, shrimp, California veggies, rice, and a cheese sauce. The Fish covered half the plate on top of veggies and rice, and was surrounded by shrimp. I ordered a quesadilla tropical, deliciously grilled chicken with onions, mushrooms and spinach, rice, guacamole, sour cream, and a mango pico de gallo. staff was friendly, restaurant was clean, chips and salsa as delicious as the dinner! read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. Very affordable food. Service is always good. My go-to is the Tapatio. Chicken, zucchini, onion, mushroom with rice and beans. Covered in queso read more

Whether you're passing through I-75 on your way down to the Southern States or you are a local: this place has hands down d best mexican dishes in the hr area. Today was no different.... Every dish i've so far I've had in this place sincerely last time I was here. Every single time I get to have something different and every single time I get to enjoy it twice as much and every single time they continue to out due themselves... this is one of our local favorites not just for the food but for the service (ask foR DIEGO!) He is fantastic and knows the dishes and flavors of thos joint! and the ambience not to mention the clean restroom. The bikini team that welcomes you at the door just joking that's not even needed since the food is so good. Actually this place is a family place so make sure you come with your entire family they will accommodate them all. If you're no cooking tonight and you're not here you are missing out. The Pollo Loco is a go-to favorite so you must try that fish at least once!!!! Peace out need to eat my food before he gets cold hope you read this review and come give them a try. read more

Over priced. Food was good, didn't get my rice. I need 85 characters apparently to finish this review so I will say the place was packed when I walked in. That's always a good sign. read more

Thanks for Great food and service!! Enjoyed the margaritas too.. ordering again soon .

Good food, prices and service. The ambiance could be improved, which is the only reason it got 4 stars.

White washed Mexican food. Asked for two bean and cheese burritos and a chile relleno/w bean. Got bean enchiladas with queso over them? Then the chile relleno was looking more like a poblano enchilada with red sauce? If you're actually Mexican you're not gonna get what you expect. Also paid $16 for three burritos? Three burritos along the border is less than $5 especially with no meat just an fyi. Nothing authentic about it. Better off trying los maguey which is also in the area. read more

El Trio - a burrito and a bowl of soup - Mexican Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

The manager is rude and has a bad attitude. I prefer to spend my money somewhere else

Best restaurant around ! We love their food and service ! 10/10 recommend!! Great family place !

I really haven't been to this part of Ringgold, but I really had been wanting to try El Trio. It's in a little strip mall area. It seems like it would be smallish inside, but it's actually spacious. It's very clean and polished. Love the redish color on the walls and the pictures. The booths look comfy and there is lots of seating. Our server, Melanie, was so helpful and attentive. She handled a big group of people and never seemed overwhelmed or flustered. I ordered the Pollo Picante and boy was it picante! I would suggest ordering the picante cheese sauce on the side and adding as you see fit. I could tell the beans are made fresh, though they were a tad too thinned out. I'd like them to be a bit thicker in consistency. The flavor was good though. I loved the grilled onions with the chicken. Such a great combination and taste that elevates the dish. Chips and salsa are plentiful. The salsa is not spicy at all. I'd like a little bit more kick in it, but I know most people in the area don't do well with spicy salsa. It was good, and definitely eatable. I also had a margarita and it was quite tasty. Tuesday nights are two-for-one, so that was a bonus. I tried a friend's mango margarita on the rocks and it was amazing. I'd go back just for that alone. I do need to go back and try some more dishes, like tacos and enchiladas. read more

all the reviews were from months ago, so i thought i might try it. as soon as i walked in the host was rude & didn't even listen to me when i tried to order. i can see why there's no cars outside.. read more

I have eaten here a couple of times and I love the atmosphere and the family that owns it! I got the picante chicken and it was extremely spicy but it had a good taste to it. I've also had their enchiladas and tacos for lunch. I'm very picky with my enchilada sauce and I actually like theirs a lot. The taco was full of meat and cheese and the chips and salsa were the norm, nothing too special. The people next to me had guacamole and it looked super yummy. I also saw an order of combo fajitas that looked big enough to feed four people and smelled amazing!! Will definitely go back when in Ringgold. read more

After complaining about our food (which was so salty it was inedible) the manager took offense to my comments and would not even offer any compromise in the way of a different entree or anything else. After telling him I was not going to spend my money on something that was inferior he simply took my cell phone from my table and refused to return it until I paid and tipped my server. I am a local business owner and pride myself in the fact that I will not accept anything less than perfection when it comes to the satisfaction of my patients. After finally agreeing to pay in order to get my phone back the manager followed me to my car and proceeded to dump a pitcher of what I will assume was a cola product on the roof of my car. I immediately filed a police report. read more

Delicious food and good service and friendly atmosphere great margaritas!!! Always go there on my birthday.

The worst food ever! Asked to speak to mgr n the girl at counter said she was mgr. I showed her the food and she said there was nothing wrong with it. My daughter's food was supposed to be a grilled ckn with pineapple on top and she got cut up dried ckn with cut veggies n pineapple. Son got chicken pollo with steak and got sick, n I ordered tour of Mexico. She said she checked the food and packed it up and said she didn't see anything wrong with it. I asked to speak to her supervisor n she said she could not give me his name n he was on vacation. If I could give a negative review I would. Look ate the pics read more

New favorite spot! Visited this afternoon & really enjoyed it. They were swamped, overwhelmed even and people had to wait a while for call in orders. Remember folks, these are crazy times. Please be patient & friendly, everyone is doing the best they can & we are all in this together!! read more

Food was terrible, service not good. Place was good for few times we ate there. Now not good chips are not fresh cold . Ground beef was yuck taste rotten. read more

This place definitely isn't my first choice for a good mexican restaurant. Usually every time I go here they get something wrong about my order; and the food is not as good as other Mexican cuisines in the area. Would recommend somewhere else first. read more

Wow! Just, WOW!!! These people who run this restaurant are by far the RUDEST, most IGNORANT people I've EVER had the displeasure of being in the vicinity of. This place does NOT belong here in Ringgold, Ga. This community deserves so much better than this. Ate here a few months ago and thought maybe they changed their attitudes. I was so very, VERY wrong. Never coming to this place again. read more

First time here and lived it! Plan to visit again:) great service and great food. Loved the atmosphere as well!

Can't say enough good things about this place! My family and I have visited several times over the past few months. The service is always friendly and quick. The food is excellent! We are never disappointed in what we order even when we try something new. Going back to service, my daughter and I ate there earlier this week, it was great as usual. However, my daughter discovered that she left her retainer there by accident. I called the restaurant knowing it was a long shot. In a matter of a few minutes, waiting on the phone, they found the retainer! I have no idea of the amount of trash they had to dig through, but it could not have been pleasant! I didn't even ask them to do any of it. All I asked was if they had found one at the table we were sitting at. I can't imagine getting service like this from many places at all. Make sure you check this place out, the service is stellar! read more

Very bad business!!! I called & ordered over the phone & went to pick it up, my order was wrong. It was $14 for FOUR tacos the prices were not the same on the menu. The workers were rude & trying to arguing with me & my boyfriend. When I went to pick up my order two people were walking out upset. I do NOT recommend this place!!!' read more

Trying out this new place that isn't far from home. The atmosphere is casual and open. For a Wednesday night at 7 pm, it was relatively busy. I ordered the Mexican Street Tacos, which comes with three tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro and onions with your choice of chicken or beef. I got two chicken and one beef, and they were amazing! The meat was tender on both versions, and they gave quite a bit of meat on each one. The green chili sauce that came with it, but it was a bit watery for my taste (same with the salsa that came with the chips). The staff was very friendly and every one of them paid attention to the table. UPDATED November 2018: we have gone back a couple of times and have been disappointed. The quantity of food you get is good, even overwhelming if you order the fajitas for two (we could have easily fed 6 from it), but the food is bland and the meat has been more over cooked than the first time I was there. Still think the salsa is too runny, too. Downgrading the stars to a 2 now. read more

El Trio - Mexican street tacos -- two chicken and one beef - Mexican Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

This was the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I ordered and paid online waited 30 minutes to go pickup the food. When I got there waited another 30 minutes and told them I wanted a refund. I was told I would have to wait for the owner to get back it would be 20 minutes. Finally another manager refunded my money and said let me see if your food is ready I said no thanks and took my receipt and left. No apologies from anyone just rude and inconsiderate. I have eaten there probably 10 or 12 times. read more

Clean & neat little restaurant. Good food every time. Quick & easy service. Friendly folks.

The place was busy when I came. However, that does not excuse the condition of the table it was filthy, also there is no authentic food here what so ever. The salsa is bland and the chips stale. The booths are unbalanced and they jacked up my order forgetting half of what I ordered. The staff is nice but don't have a clue as to what they are doing. read more

This is the best Mexican food I have eaten in a long time. Everything was juicy and tender. We will defiantly be going back again.

Ate here twice and both times my food was super salty but edible. No different than the other numerous mexican style restaurants in area.

Great food and fast service. They are taking good precautions for COVID and look out for everyone as a whole. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a late dinner while traveling, what a find! Great service and the food was absolutely delicious! The homemade chili sauce was the best I have ever tasted! You really must try if ever in the area. read more

We stopped to eat here on our way to Florida & liked it so much we made a point to eat here on our way home. This was excellent Mexican food. The fajitas are great, & portions are generous. My husband & son had the Pollo Picante & said it was also delicious. I also tried the Chicken Azteca, Very good & I loved the mushrooms & cheese sauce. We will definitely come here again when we are in the area. read more

Let me start off by saying my favorite Mexican restaurant is amigos in Eastridge Tennessee. We recently moved to Ringgold so we tried this place. Ordered a chicken burrito Togo. I couldn't cut it with a fork so I opened it up to take a look and omg just dried out rice and very little dried out over cooked chicken. I gave them a shot and will not ever be back..I wanted a shredded chicken burrito with onions and peppers but it wasn't on the menu. It is on every other Mexican restaurant menu. read more
