I'm a native San Diegoan, and getting some legit street tacos in Tennessee is a dream come true. If you're not used to "authentic" street tacos, know that they are supposed to be "simple". Tortilla, meet, cilantro & onion, and maybe some salsa. Al Pastor should have pineapple too. My favorite thing to order is the "Mexi-can not Mexi-can't" which is three street tacos. I get the Al Pastor, and a side of queso and chips. Their queso is amazing and the chips are the best I have ever had. If you're used to "cheese" and things on your tacos, then I'd recommend ordering the gringo style. You should know that the beans aren't "refried", but seasoned black beans which are delicious but may surprise some people.

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!

Had a great lunch here. I had not been in a long time, and now regret that. Their lunch menu is…read morevery lengthy, with lots of items well beyond the usual "mix of taco enchilada or tamale plus R&B," such as fish entrees and smaller sizes of traditional entrees. I went with a simple arroz con pollo, but it was SO tasty. I did not drink this day, but they have lots of beer and drink selections. Some very interesting-sounding mixes were advertised. I just thought it was a great lunch. Quick service and pay with QR code made it ultra-fast.

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!

Found them due to the Knoxville Vegan Chef Challenge, so this review is a bit delinquent…read more We ordered the roasted sweet potato tacos as a bowl to make it gluten free. We also got the corn salsa and the habernaro salsa, which were both delicious. They were at the South Side garage when we found them, so we got some kombucha and an old fashioned that did not disappoint. Cody was manning the truck that day and he was so friendly, helpful and knew all about how to veganize their food and made any necessary adjustments. He even came into the garage to double check on preparation for us. He gave us service that was exceptional. The food was delicious and we need to find CM again stat! Loved the location and the ambiance of the Garage as well. The one downside is that the "location" calendar was a little hard to use since I wasn't familiar with some of the places listed on it and didn't know where those places were since there weren't address on many of the listings. But, I'm sure that's a software issue they have no control over. If you see the truck, stop! It's worth a visit.

Unfamiliar with area, I was disappointed to learn there wasn't a bunch of highly rated options near my hotel. I'd have to go downtown. That was EXCEPT for Habaneros. And who doesn't like Mexican food ? This hidden gem tucked in an area off the side of the road that you might otherwise notice (at least for me) while driving by. And WHAT A SHAME as this place is EXCELLENT. I went to eat at Habaneros on a Saturday night. When I visited it was busy but not packed, the walls inside were well decorated and I didn't have to wait for seating. The menu essentially said "Try my fajitas" they are best, so I ordered them. While waiting they brought me chips and salsa. The salsa they had was delicious. They serve domestic beers (plus Coronas) there if you want an alcoholic beverage but that's about it. That's okay for me though, a Corona was all I needed. Local IPAs don't pair well with Fajitas IMO. FAJITAS COME OUT. Exactly what the menu said. Sizzling, delicious, seasoning was flavorful and the portions for all the condiments/ingredients were exactly what I needed to fill each of the tortillas. Service was fast and they never forgot about me, consistently checking in on me to ensure I had everything I needed. If you live in or around the Knoxville area and you haven't had Habaneros, please do so. You won't regret the trip.
