    I will say Taco Ranch hit the spot, when my little requested tacos for dinner after our long ride, Taco Ranch was high on the option list. The establishment was clean, they were constantly cleaning the tables as patrons left making sure everyone had somewhere to sit. The staff was nice at checkout and they offer a military discount. The food was ok, not bad but nothing fantastic. Hit the spot so I'd say worth a try. Everything was made from scratch, including the tortillas, which we watch be made. The CARNE ASADA CHIMICHURRI tortillas had a grainy texture so I wasn't a huge fan of that but the rest was good. The buffalo boneless chicken wings were good, the fries were meh. Even though they were seasoned they were either cooked too long or were sitting there too long because they were tough. Did not like. Their Elote was AMAZING, I ate two myself. The nachos were just basic nachos, I did feel like the meat was watered down but my little was happy and ate half the serving they gave, and that was HUGE. She did ask for it to be customized to what she wanted and they were super accommodating. Overall we were satisfied with our meals.

    This place has got to have the most vague menu I have ever seen in my entire life. You almost have no clue what you're ordering. I also can't believe the prices. $6-$8 for a single tiny taco on a 6-8 inch tortilla, not including the price of your drink or fries. Want chips and salsa? Forget about it! They don't have chips and salsa. At a taco place? Weird. And to top it off, the food was 6/10 at best. Just another generic food joint with mediocre options spiced up with a "trendy" vibe. Overall, I will never be coming back. Very unsatisfied. Should have went to firehouse subs next door.

    Onion rings were amazing. My mom loved her taco and her margarita, but I didn't love mine, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. It was flavorful though! Loved the longhorn!!!!

    We had a party of ten, so experiences were mixed--some loved it, some not so much. Popular picks at the table were the chips and queso, elote, and the #1 taco. I don't eat gluten or dairy, which turned out to be an issue. Taco spots are usually a safe bet, but not here. The staff understood the dairy restriction and clearly marked the ticket; I even heard the kitchen call it out. That said, most of the sauces appear to be dairy-based, so I ended up with dry tacos. Gluten was more problematic. Despite explaining multiple times that this is not a preference, one taco still arrived with pita pieces on it. If cross-contamination matters to you, I'd recommend skipping this place. We visited on a Saturday night. The restaurant was steady with a live band, but it was loud enough that conversation at the table was difficult.

    I haven't written a review in a while, but this place deserved it. We stopped here for lunch today and I took one bite of my taco and immediately said "this is the best taco I've ever had in my entire life!" I had the Avocado Taco and we also ordered two more. Lunch was so good we ended up also door-dashing the Loaded Nachos, Boneless Chicken Wings and Pepperjack and Chive Tots for dinner instead of eating our hotel restaurant food. I only remembered to take photos after we started eating it was that good. If you LOVE tacos, I 100% recommend.

    Super cute place on the strip. I love tacos, and these were not bad. At $6 plus each, my expectations were high. There is a good portion of protein, which I appreciated, but the snapper taco was fishy. I couldn't finish it. The Pig and Fig had a lot of promise, but in the end, too much going on. The flavors were muddled. The churro donut holes were a great finish. Service was efficient and friendly.

    Taco Ranch.... What are yall doing in the back this is fire!!! Note: 2 tacos will fill you up. We picked 3 different kinds of tacos and the Kids Chicken Quesadillas. 1. Frikka Tikka chicken - this is a chicken taco with an Indian curry vibe this one was by far one of the best! 5 out of 5 2. Snapper taco - not that good 3 and 1/2 out of 5 3. Soul Sister Chicken Tacos - it is a Korean fried chicken tender quite spicy but well worth it. Has a ton of sauce. 4 out of 5 4. Kids Chicken Quesadillas - heavy on the pulled chicken and has fries but very good! 4 out of 5 5. Pink Lemonade - was like the pink starburst but lemonade! 5 out of 5 Service: this is our first time going here and the person at the register was super nice and helped us pick good options and making sure we didn't over order. The tacos are big! And the lady that brought us our food was so friendly and welcoming. Would be happy to come back! 5 out of 5 Bathrooms: I was quite happy and shocked at how clean the restrooms were! 5 out of 5 Over all this is traditional tacos remade but better and not in the to much area but was well done and opened a new window of Mexican food and how it can be mixed in so many unique ways! 5 out of 5 over ALL!

    This was our first time eating here, and we'll definitely be back! We tried two different tacos, nachos, waffle fries, and wings--all were delicious. My personal favorite was the nachos with chimichurri sauce--so good! Vanessa was so sweet and attentive, making sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed! The atmosphere was relaxed, clean, and they were playing fantastic music!! Highly recommend checking this place out!

    We wanted to like this place... but gosh it was not good. If we hadn't gotten the loaded waffle fries, we would have left hungry. Seoul Sister Chicken tasted nothing like Korean bbq and there was no kimchi on it. Was really looking forward to it. Bummer. The carne asada chimichurri was tough to eat. The meat was chewy. Going off looks, it's a 5. Going off taste.... It's a 1 for the tacos and a 2 for the fries ‍

    The service was great! We have never been here before and the customer service was really good! The ambiance was not too bad. It was pretty crowded but still have some space for more people. The food was AMAZING! The only thing we didn't like was the beet taco!

    Chicken nachos

    Came here for the unique tacos! I ordered the chimichuri steak taco, the buffalo, and the pork taco. We also got chicken nachos and elote. The elote (corn) was my favorite. The tacos were just ok lacked some flavor on the pork one, didn't like the tortilla and the steak one I didn't like the tortilla at all had weird flavor and was too dry. The buffalo one was ok and the nachos were also just ok. Overpriced for the nachos. Wouldn't come again.

    NEW Restaurant Alert! Nestled on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge between Firehouse Subs and Handbag Store. Taco Ranch is the newest addition to PF and it's such a vibe. You enter to Menus on the wall, specials on boards and you order at the counter. They offer a full bar as well, which you can sit at and enjoy a game at one of their many tvs. The venue space is rather small so don't plan on a large group gathering. If you are looking for plain meat and cheese tacos- this isn't going to be the place for you. They serve up tacos with a twist. Combining items that may sound odd, but are truly spectacular!!! I highly recommend the Elvis!

    #15 Lobster & Avocado
    Chris C.

    I almost never do this on vacation but I might have to eat here again tomorrow! The crispy avocado taco was so delicious! So often you get a burger or taco with lots of flavors and it just doesn't live up to the hype. But the crispy avocado taco had a ton of flavors, and I could taste them all individually and also taste how well they worked together. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is cool, though the music was a bit loud for my taste. We had other tacos and starters that were good but the crispy avocado was absolutely the best. Yum!

I don't like roasted chicken at all but ts is bussing - very clean, but it's cold in here TURN AWFF THE ACCCC - took a dump in the bathroom so I'd finish my quesadillas--and boy was that an amazing dump. Bathroom is clean, but there's only 3 stalls. For a taco restaurant, they underestimate the power tacos have over the bowels. Overall 9.5/10 I WILL be coming back.

    Lauren C. Was our server, she was very knowledgeable about the menu! She had wonderfully energy…read moreand kept our table of 6 well hydrated! She brought the food out and then waiting a few minutes, to come back around to make sure it was all delicious! Well definitely beach next time we are in the area!

    This was our first trip to Azul Cantina, and honestly it's got me mad we don't live closer because…read morethe food was fantastic. We showed up a few minutes before they even opened. We'd read enough good things that we weren't about to risk a long wait, so we played it safe. Ended up being the second group seated. The manager who sat us wasn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Led us to the table, dropped the menus, and walked off with no greeting at all. We were the only table inside and still sat there for a solid 8 minutes before anyone came over for drinks. We were about 5 more minutes from leaving before our server showed up. Thankfully she was attentive, and genuinely friendly. It turned our moods around very quickly. We started with drinks and the Elote Ribs. The drinks were perfect and those Elote Ribs were a great way to start our meal. For mains I went with the Birria tacos and my wife got the chicken fajitas. The Birria tacos were amazing! The meat was incredibly tender, full of flavor, and the rice that came with it was seasoned perfectly. It would be hard for me to order anything else there because that's how much I liked them. The chicken fajitas were just as good. The chicken was cooked right and seasoned well, and came with that same rice as my tacos.
