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.

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 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.

Plenty of parking outside with modern signage. Now has outdoor seating. It has grown up into a standard mature but still solid Mexican place. Clean setting . The salsa bar is still here an excellent feature. Fresh ingredients and made salsa. Plenty on limes and cilantro. The service is great and responsive. Vibe is Mexican music playing in background and loud enough to dominate but not drown out table conversation. Full bar (pool table now gone). Plenty of TVs in bar area. Plenty of tables for seating through out this place with booths and tables. Can accommodate large parties with the central tables. Now to the food. Comes out warm and hot. I got the steak burrito and a couple of tacos carne asada and Al pastor. Chips came in advance. Chips were solid and fresh. Burrito not well wrapped and very hot with the butter grilled cooking of the tortilla. Basic with steak cut into small bite size pieces and rice and beans. Not evenly distributed and quickly fell apart when handling after a few bites. Tacos with single corn tortilla and respective meats and you dress yourself with onions and cilantro and limes from the salsa bar. Food better than OK. Final assessment, if you are in the neighborhood this is a solid place. Very reasonably priced. Family and large group friendly or just for a single or couple at the bar. Would not go out of my way for this place but in my case left my downtown hotel with a $12 uber to reminisce and happy to have done it. 4 stars because very solid. Not 5 stars because wouldn't travel and go out of my way to go here.

VEGAN REVIEW I've…read moregot a new favorite, and it's right in my backyard. No more traveling to Knoxville for great Mexican food. I ordered my usual, vegan fajitas, and they were excellent. Unlike many restaurants, the fajita portion was not just a big pile of onions and whatever cheap vegetables they had on hand. This had a great assortment of green peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots. The flavors were great. The side plate came with refried beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce, and onions. The serving was very generous, and I'll easily get a few meals out of it. It also reheats really well. For the quality, portion size, and leftovers, this is a real bargain.
