I would eat here again and would recommend to anyone in the area wanting some good Mexican cuisine. The restaurant also has a salsa bar that had several different types of salsa.

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.

We received the menu was it wasn't offered up regarding their Tuesday specials so I'm glad we asked. We tried both the chicken and ground beef tacos. The ground beef was a bit salty. The chicken had chunks of chicken - would preferred it to be more shredded. Overall, you can't beat the price! $1.10 each for the tacos & $2.06 for a 12oz Margarita on the rocks. Taco Tuesday! Prices are adjusted if you pay by cash rather tha Remember to ask about the Tuesday Specials when you go!

The chicken pieces were cut up into small cube pieces versus the grilled strips of chicken. Made the cook on the chicken perfect. Great taste with great seasoning. Veggies were cooked and had that slight charring and tasted great. I found the refried beans a tad bland. They have 4 beer on tap and several domestic and mexican beers in the bottle. Staff was friendly and attentive. Overall experience was positive.

We try this place since they are new in the area. Unfortunately the food is far from what is…read moreMexican food. We order pozole and enchiladas suizas which both are very deficient from the original Mexican dishes. The pozole didn't have corn (corn is a must in the dish) if there is no corn, then is not pozole. The enchiladas suizas didn't have the green cremy sauce that is classic on the dish. Pretty much it was a plate for enchiladas verdes. My wife and I decide to return the food without tasting it and we told them we will leave. They decide not to charge us anything. Then we left and we will not return. I understand that the restaurant may be shorts staff and the cooking person may not be from Mexico. If that is the case then adjust their menus accordingly and train the waitresses to respond properly why a dish does not looks and taste like a Mexican dish.

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.

I like the atmosphere, with the inside feeling more like a sports bar and a nice patio outside. Service was also good, but I didn't love the food. Chips were cold and the salsa was watery. I ordered the Coyote Burrito, which contains a trifecta of steak, chicken, and shrimp and a white sauce on top. The turf meats were fine if needing more seasoning but the shrimp definitely tasted a few days past its freshness. It was an okay Mexican place.
