Tucked into an average shopping center is a place called Porton, a Mexican restaurant that is a…read moretotal gem! I honestly hate supporting door dash because I hate what it stands for, taking money from local places that already suffer from increasing prices but I did discover them originally by ordering DoorDash and I was blown away. Since then I have been a dine in or takeout customer. The owner is very friendly and they have a variety of things on their menu. I love their taco salad with the cilantro ranch, the crispy beef tacos (which they use quality beef, and you can taste the difference), street tacos, the tortilla soup, birria dilla (their take on birria tacos), flautas, the changa, etc. Honestly it's one of my favorites in town! They are always busy! They have a small dining area inside and outside and offer beer and margaritas, and they have my favorite beverage Jarritos Mandarin. If you are in the area, check them out, I guarantee you will love this place too. Is it taco Tuesday yet? Cheers & Enjoy!

Been here twice and we really enjoyed it! First time we ordered 2 barbacoa tacos and 2 pastor tacos…read moreto try. The pastor was kinda dry. The barbacoa was delicious! The second time we went, we ordering the birria pizza. I asked for cilantro and onions on the side and asked if it would cost extra; cashier didn't answer my question. I don't think she understood much English. Anyway, I see on the receipt it cost an extra $0.50. The birria pizza was amazing. Definitely enough to feed 3 people. Came with 3 sauces to dip in, in addition to the birria juice, and pickled carrots. Meat was flavorful and lots of cheese! It cost $23.99 in July 2026. We would definitely order this again!

Portions are good size for lunch.

I got the shrimp burrito, and the shrimp tasted fresh as if you got them at the beach. Nothing was over spiced or overdone.

Not enough to lose a star but enough to mention.

We arrived and the wait was short so we were seated pretty quickly. We wait at the table while all the servers sat at a table adjacent to us counting and splitting what appeared to be their tips. This took about 15min and then one of them came over to our table and wasn't very friendly which is strange for a new restaurant. We ordered our drinks and a few minutes later the server came back to ask if we wanted a different drink because they were going to have to make more unsweetened tea if we didn't want something else. WOW cheapest drink in the world other than water. We waited for a while with no other service it appeared all the servers were more interested in looking at a digital advertisement screen that they had installed at the bar so we just left. And no one even noticed us leaving or said a word to us. A note to anyone who cares. There are at least 6 Mexican Restaurants in a two mile radius of you continue like this there will be a new building for rent at this location. We drove across the street to a New Mexican restaurant that just opened and it was a super great experience. We probably won't try this location again!

I went to pull it out of the box and it was way heftier than I was expecting. Probably the bet hot dog I've ever had. I also ordered cheese fries. The fries were fresh and homemade, the cheese sauce was okay- not the most amazing cheese sauce I've ever had, but still good. Portion was decent as well. The wait was a bit longer than I expected for a food truck, the food line (after orders) was about 5 people waiting. I would love to see some type of daily special.

Years ago the price, quality and service couldn't be beat for town. Years ago. Whatever. Quality went down but portions, pricing and service remained better than the rest around four years back. Two years ago quality/flavor continued to tank, but service was okay and prices still okay. This past year? Gross. They're charging almost as much or the same as places in town that are much better in all fields: taste, quality, service, pricing, ambiance. Price creep came first. Then quality and flavor. Then came service and ambiance. Honestly, I hesitate to even brush it off as ambiance, it's closer to a health issue now and has been for at least six months. The area near the rest room absolutely reeks of sewage and human waste. I went to use the rest room and I genuinely vomited. When the smell hit me I was going to just...not use the bathroom, but my body had other plans and I was forced to use it because I had to vomit. I held my breath but then I tasted it in my mouth and vomited again, and then one last time. It was that bad. I don't know why I went back to this place, honestly. Dumb old me assumed twice now they would have this disgusting issue under control. "Surely by now" I said. It's not even that good, the only thing I can think of that possessed me to give this place a try the past two times and now this final time is that I have memories of this place. My family is close to the (previous) owners and waitstaff, we had my mother's wake here when she passed, things like that, and the make my margaritas strong because of that relationship. But that staff has been leaving over the past year, and the service shows the loss. Last time we were here we stood there for ten minutes to be seated. It wasn't anywhere near close, four hours to go actually, a weekend, and pretty dead. I understand why now. The guy in the kitchen just kept looking at us. Some other guy was in the office/kitchen just talking in the phone. The poor BOH kept ringing their little bell and couldn't even get any of the staff to come run food, it was ridiculous honestly. The mod food isn't even consistent anymore, it's like they can't even keep a cook so you order something and it comes out complete different every time, down to the salsa. One day spicy no cilantro, next day not spicy at all heaps of cilantro, one day no spice no cilantro etc. Avocado salad is the same way. So are other items. At this point, and it really hurts me to say it due to nostalgia, there is no point at all in visiting this place unless you like poor to mid food priced the same as better places in town, awful service, and the literal smell of human feces. RIP Gallo Loco.

This is quite possibly the friendliest fast food restaurant in Knoxville. I have probably eaten…read morehere 25 to 30 times over the last few years (I live close by) and the staff are always incredibly kind and outgoing. During the meal, someone comes around to ask if everything is ok, and then will come around later and offer to take my tray while I'm finishing up. Last fall and winter I was walking with a cane, anticipating a hip replacement surgery and, every time, someone would come from behind the register and carry my tray to my table; even going so far as to go and get my drink and my utensils so I wouldn't have to deal with it. The food is consistently fantastic as well. I can't recommend this location (Hardin Valley) highly enough!
