The service was pretty good. I really liked the salsa. it was very chill. there was a wait time though. my food was pretty good. I was happy they had ketchup. read more

Started with a mixed drink it was so watered down it was horrible. Had hope for the meal. The roll ups were pretty good. I had a steak bowl, the cilantro rice was under cooked and cold! They forgot my sauce on top, then charged for a small cup of sour cream. Hubby had tacos, the Mexican rice was not very good, they also forgot his beans with his meal. Absolutely the worst meal we have had in town! read more

Waited 10 minutes after being seated and nobody came by to take our drink order. I asked the girls at the podium if we had a server. Went back to the table and waited a few more minutes. Still, nobody came by our table. Monday afternoon...not terribly busy. We got up & left. Took our business down the road to Azul's where we always get great service. Had water brought to our table within 2 minutes of sitting down. read more

This was our first visit and we enjoyed the food and atmosphere very much. We got tacos, nachos and a taco salad and they were all very tasty. Great service as our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had what we needed. Look forward to our next time. read more

This is a mixed review. The place is fun and cool. Some really need features, funny tees and decor. The food is different and very tasty and we planned to buy merch but we were so annoyed when done eating that we didnt and the restaurant lost money. Reasons are a horrible neglectful waiter that barely paid us any attention, did not refill drinks or chips and just did not match the vibe of the place at all and very, very slow service in a practically empty restaurant, which made no sense. You do not go to a Mexican place expecting slow service, its usually very quick so this was super annoying to be this slow when no one was in there plus get no apologies, no one checking on us during the long wait or any real friendliness. Given the very fun decor, we felt slighted. So we could not force the merch purchases we were excited about when we first walked in. Unfortunately, the food and atmosphere can be great but bad service can wreck an experience. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. We started with chips & queso and I had the house margarita. The dip was thick and creamy and my drink was made with fresh ingredients. Husband had the burrito and I had a taco salad, both with ground beef/charizo. It was honestly one of the best taco salads I've had, so fresh and the cheese covers the salad, not drowning it. The bowl/shell was good, but had it been fresh/hot that would have nailed it. My husband probably would have finished his meal if it wasn't for the chips. He said he would order it again. I forgot to mention that we even ate the guacamole and that's not typical. Again, fresh!! Top it all off we had a great server, ask for Jake. read more

So glad this place opened up! The decor is hilarious - you could spend forever looking at everything. Food and drinks are spectacular - free chips and salsa (as it should be!), awesome margarita towers, and we really enjoyed the chicken tacos, mango habenero quesadilla, taco salad, and the burrito. Will definitely be back - can see this becoming one of our favs read more

I ordered the American Tacos, and they were delicious. The accompanying rice and beans were good, too. I ordered 2 tacos, but I could only eat one. I also ordered the churros, and they were excellent...hot and fresh served with dipping sauce. My friend ordered the croissant cheesecake, and it was outstanding. Our server was attentive, and the atmosphere, even though it was a little "Planet of the Apes " weird, was pleasant. read more

This place is awesome! I can't get enough of the Mango Habanero quesadilla and that Tres Leches cake! We will be coming back soon!

Denied service at 8:45.. Why a restaurant would close at 9 in pigeon forge during spring break will never make any sense.

I wouldn't eat here again if it was free! Enchiladas were tiny and all you could taste was heat. The Mexican Rice was watery and crunchy. The cheesecake tasted like the top and bottom was made of a thick tortilla, it wouldn't cut with the spoon, the filling gushed out the sides was very warm and the inside cold (very weird), my grand daughters nachos were literally chips with a glob of queso it looked like my 5 year old grand daughter self served it. My coke zero hit the Dr Pepper dispenser first. We are local and I'm convinced that every 5 star review giver hit the bar first. I wouldn't eat that poor quality stuff with someone else's mouth...so disappointed. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. 100/10. Even on a packed night, we got in pretty quick. Food has been fantastic the last few times we've came. The atmosphere is fantastic and the workers are phenomenal! read more

Hard pass on this place. Tacos below average, burrito bland, beans not re-fried or fully cooked, rice undercooked....and worst of all the Margarita was absolutely disgusting. I've never left half a Margarita before until today. The marg was too sweet and with super cheap tequila--tasted like a bad/off brand store mix. Terrible tourist trap. Don't waste your money. read more

Best Mexican in Pigeon Forge. the menu is reasonably priced and the food is fantastic. very casual and fun atmosphere. Definitely a place for the locals. read more

Atmosphere is nice change of pace, but the quality of the food is not up to par in my opinion. My son ordered the Arroz Con Pollo because it looked great on the table next to us, his came out and it was the size of a small cereal bowl plopped on the plate, we asked the waitress and she just said "yeah it's probably normal" and walked off. The nachos reminded me of the old Wendy's commercials "where's the beef" read more

The food is amazing but the service is very subpar. Wait staff is very absentee and the bar is extremely slow.

Server took insanely long. Food was wrong Very slow staff. 1 star! The food was ok when it did arrive correctly. Nothing to write home about. read more

So good!! The restaurant is fun and has great views of the mountains. Food was delicious and came out in a very timely manner. Our waiter was amazing and was very attentive. Great restaurant! read more

Food was not good at all. We were a party of four. I had the tacos, which I did not care for it was ground beef mixed with chorizo and the taste was just not what I would consider Mexican. The beans were not refried and they were also not very tasty. He tells me My husband had a taco salad which had hardly any meat. Our friends had the quesadillas, which were very bland, and her husband had the enchilada which he did not like either. The service was excellent and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very good. I think if they just improve on the food, they'd have a winner we didn't have any alcohol so I can't comment on that. read more

The food is not authentic Mexican. The tacos are to glammed up. The burrito my daughter had was like they took a steak fajita and just wrapped it in a tortilla and put spices on top. They were both good but not great. I would not buy again I'm a taco snob!! That being said for the money we spent we recommend. The Mexican rice was to over cooked it was not good. It should have been more the same consistency as the cilantro lime rice we had. Which that rice was not flavorful enough. But it was ok. I am a Mexican food snob when it comes to tacos guys!!Now for the great stuff the salsa was really good. Flavorful but not so hot children can't eat. So I do give it a plus for that. But have some spicy for the people who like it hot!! That's a tip!! The margaritas we had were amazing you can't go wrong we really enjoyed them. We got two different ones( tip be careful with the 22oz if you don't eat enough you can get tipsy ). The atmosphere was amazing! Great Mexican atmosphere. The tables were even in on it! Now for the favs and will go back just for them the churro with the leche sauce!!! This is where it's at, my fav!!! The chocolate was really good but I really preferred it alone on a spoon and would do it again. It has a really good flavor!! The cheesecake sopapia was really good. The tres leche cake go for it it's amazing good!!!! The appetizer we had and the sauce was amazing we loved it!!! As far as service Jhon was amazing!!!! He let me practice my Spanish which is not that great! When he spoke to fast he slowed down when I asked!! He was really busy but stopped to listen when I was telling him my opinion!!! That's key!!! That means he cares!!! He is a keeper!!! Ok we had 2 margarita 1 a 16oz & 1 a 22oz, 1 appetizer, 2 main dishes, and all 3 desserts we spent $104 plus tip it's truly fairly priced!!!! It's good food not authentic but good and the drinks, appetizers, desserts and the atmosphere are worth your money!!! Jhon was amazing!!! So we give it 4 stars!!!! Not 5 because it's not authentic food. read more

See all

We tried this place and loved it. I refuse to go to Mexican restaurants that make you pay for chips and salsa, so I'm glad it is free here. The food was great, especially the ACP. Big portions and pretty affordable. The decor is really cool and I got a picture with the giant gorilla out front. I'm glad that there is a cool new local place. read more

Best tacos ever. Everything made from house loved our food will definitely be going back best Mexican restaurant in the area

The theme and atmosphere here is so much fun! Really enjoy the food and service. The smash burger melts in your mouth and the sopapilla cheesecake is to die for! read more

Excellent new restaurant!! Such a unique atmosphere with incredible tacos. I tend to order dishes and remove ingredients that I think I wouldn't like, but for this visit I ordered just as it was listed. The pork carnitas taco was a perfect blend of flavors and the Americano taco was exactly what you would want in a beef taco. No substitutions needed!! I highly recommend the Sopapilla Cheesecake for dessert.... so delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

Have eaten at every restaurant in PF and Gatlinburg, this is place is fun and the food is fantastic! Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

We we highly disappointed with this place. We had been looking forward to try Gorilla Taco since they opened in February. We will not be going back. My tacos were delicious, however my husband ordered the fajita combo. When our food was served to us, the fajita plate was not sizzling or smoking. There were 2 slices of chewy steak cut in half, and half of a chicken breast. And not many veggies. The plate had a huge mound of clumpy, bland rice and no beans. The waiter sent the manager over, who had the dish remade. It was much better, and a more appropriately proportioned. The onion that time was red onion instead of white, but my husband said it did taste good. The manager comped churros for us. I give them 2 stars because the service was good, my food was good, and the ambiance was different and fun. But I highly doubt we will ever be back. This was our first experience here, and they did not gain our trust. There are many more Mexican restaurants nearby. read more
