Friendly staff, massive restaurant and solid Mexican food…read more They have good prices, ample portions and cold beer. What's not to love? The family that owns this place is also really friendly and kind and it always makes us want to support their business. The family has their favorites and I normally split the Burritos Guaranatos with my wife, it's two grilled chicken burritos with queso over top and pico de gallo to go along with it. This also comes with rice and beans and it's plenty to feed us. My kids love their quesadillas and ACP and the portions are amazing. My only criticism would be their cheese dip feels like it could be kept a little warmer as it gets kind of clumpy and it's typically pretty thick within minutes of hitting the table. It does have really good flavor though. This place is a staple for us and we'll be back time and time again.

This is a long overdue review - we've been eating here since they opened and it's our favorite…read morelocal southern Mexican food place. It's in a little building between Clinton and Oak Ridge and the staff is the absolute friendliest group ever. It's a smaller restaurant so it might be packed some days and a little quieter others. Clinton has no shortage of options when it comes to Mexican restaurants and everyone seems to have their favorite and that's totally fine but this place stands out to me and I'll tell you why. Everything I've ever ordered there seems to have better and more dynamic flavor than other places. My favorite dish is fajitas or grilled chicken but this place has me switching up my order to try things I otherwise would not because literally everything I've ever gotten here is amazing. There are certainly staples you'll find at other places but they have a great carne asada steak, the grilled chicken is amazing. Even the shredded chicken is legit. This trip we got a kids cheese quesadilla with rice and beans, a kids ACP, and I got cheese enchiladas with grilled chicken on top. I loved my enchiladas but had no problem tasting the rest of the families items because it was all so good. If you like spicy make sure and ask for some of their homemade hot salsa it's really good. They also have frosted glasses for cold draft beer both domestic and imported. 10/10 - I'd go back anytime.

Received chips and salsa as standard for appetizer: Waiter put his dirty hand in the first bowl to…read morebe used for the salsa; and the second bowl was dirty. 1st order was taco salad; however, the salad should be called taco salad soup. There was so much water in the 'taco bowl' it amounted to ~ 1/3 cup. Waiter says the water is from the lettuce. Unreal. Lettuce does not have that much moisture. I say the chicken is kept in water until ready to serve and that is where the moisture is coming from, and as result, the chicken is bland and tasteless. 2nd order, cheese enchilada: horrible sauce, tasted like corn starch, beef broth, and sugar. Bean burrito had a mild red sauce according to the waitress; however, the sauce was a disgusting amaretto sauce, far from Roja. Chalupa was not a chalupa but rather a tostada. I will give credit: lettuce was not wilted or brown, tomato was not rotten. Overall, would not return. Not even close to being Mexican food, and not even close to being tex-mex food.

This was our first experience at Aspire. We had driven by a few times on the way to Norris Lake,…read morebut we were finally in town (not in our swim gear), so we decided to check it out (knowing NOTHING about this place). We were in T-shirts and jeans, so not fancy at all, but while the space itself presented as "fine dining", the vibe was casual and welcoming. We didn't feel out of place at all, and as the after-work crowd started showing up, there was a wide variety of guests. And honestly - after understanding why this place was built- it seems that's exactly how they want it. All welcome. But don't get me wrong - casual dress or not - this place spared no expense! It's a beautiful building, and you have an outstanding view from any seat in the house! The bathrooms are even gorgeous! After exploring all the seating areas, we opted to sit at the bar. Brandon was our mixologist that day, and he was really great! All of our cocktails (The Jade Martini, The Tulip) were well made, and the off-menu cocktails he whipped up were equally as good. Love when they want to get creative. He had good recommendations for food. He was also training someone new and had a great attitude toward them, which was nice to see. Food (Ribs, Pork Chop, Salad, Soup) was all good. I'd get any of them again. And those Boursin mashed potatoes ... addictive. We even tried dessert (Strawberry shortcake). I was hoping for a more delicate, airy shortcake, but overall it was decent, but I'll try something else next time. I felt everything was priced fairly and was comparable to other places in Oak Ridge offering less desirable dishes. So we will be back for sure! I'm excited to know there is 22 miles of hiking trails and pups are welcome on the patio! Sounds like a post-hike win-win there! Plus, they have some live music nights I think we'd like to check out! Overall, super happy this place is here! I hope the next visit is just as good!.
