loved the food. the drinks were great, we had the prickly pear lavender and dragon fruit habanero margaritas, BEWARE: the waitress asked if we wanted frozen or on the rocks. we ordered on the rocks. She completely neglected to tell us they were $4 more than the frozen, so $10 per drink, and there was nothing on the menu stating the difference in price. We got two drinks each. surprise surprise when we got our bills and had $20 in drinks instead of $12. we would not have paid that much had we been informed. She also shorted me on my change when I paid cash. so, the food is good, drinks are good but not worth what we unknowingly paid. We split 1 lunch plate and 1 half appetizer and spent $36.20 EACH before tip for lunch. read more

Kinda a fun vibe with the decor and music, but the food was just mid. The bowls lacked flavor with small amount of protein so seemed pricey for what we got. The chips were just ok. The service was good and the food was served up fast. We didn't try any margs but they had a good selection. read more

I was in the area on business, stopped at Alumni Hall, and wanted a quick lunch. Everyone who worked there was super friendly and attentive. The decor was fun and interesting. The menu looks amazing, but I felt the food was a little bland. That said, I'd give it a go again. read more

Came for lunch. Great atmosphere and service but the food was not very good. The street corn guacamole looked "old" and the tacos were had were "meh" The only thing worse were the house margs we ordered which we had to send back - they tasted like country time lemonade. The kids meals were small and very disappointing -especially the kids nachos. Wouldn't go back unless there is major improvement in the quality and freshness. read more

We visited here once. The food was VERY "meh". The good thing is, they have vegan options. But, improvement is needed in said vegan options. I'd come again if a group was coming here and had already decided on this place. read more

1st thing that hits you about this restaurant is the wild colorful art on the walls. The bar is as colorful as the walls, interesting decor and very different from most restaurants. The food consists of various Tex-Mex bowls, tacos and burritos. I had the Sweet Heat a brisket taco wrapped in a flour soft + hard corn shell sweet and savory with a pineapple salsa and a habanero-mango sauce, slightly hot but very good, my 2nd Taco I had the Ooey-Gooey a chicken taco in a hard corn shell, it was good but between the two the Sweet Heat is still my favorite taco here. My wife had Lucy's Fire with a firecracker shell with roasted chicken with smoked cheddar and corn salsa, again good not great. Her 2nd taco was the Korean BBQ flour soft + hard corn shell with pulled pork and pickled jalapeños and pineapple salsa slightly hot but mostly sweet, a better than average taco. I've had the house and tomatillo salsas are good but with too thick for my taste nacho chips. The waiter we had looked pretty stretched as he covered most of the tables however he was nice and attentive. The bar had a nice selection of Mexican and local craft beers all served in mason jars. This is a multi state chain that is a cross between fast food and a sit down restaurant. read more

I'm on the road again! This time visiting Knoxville, TN! I just love trying out places I've never been. Where to begin??? I wonder what drugs they were on when they decided to paint all the walls this way??? It's is quite vibrant. Not a fan of the zodiac imagery, personally, but the art was well done for what it was....odd! Restaurant was clean. Staff friendly enough, but slow to get things, from the kitchen. The food! Well, to begin with, it was cold! The flavor was alright but beef was tough. Ordered the full size "tater tots" but only received the half order, thank goodness! The big round balls were not good! Like they took shredded potatoes and balled them up golf ball size and deep fried them. Flavorless! Anyway, we won't be visiting here again. Way too expensive for cold food, slow service, and bright decor. read more

Service was great! The food is so so. It's more American Mexican rather than authentic Mexican food. There was a problem with the registers when we tried to pay and ended up waiting for awhile. After we left we realized we double paid for some items so I called and spoke to the managers - all of which were very nice and apologetic and ended refunding our entire bill! read more

Our server Chris was great and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The chips and salsa were excellent, and the tacos were even better! The inside of the restaurant has a very Austin Texas vibe! If you know about Austin, you know that tacos are second to none. So this place needs to stay here in Knoxville! Give this place a chance and you won't regret it!! read more

Margaritas and drinks are decent but don't go hungry. You will starve waiting for your food.

Our daughter took us here for dinner. The food was good, the ambiance was fun, but the service was slow. We had to wait for our check. To be fair, they did get pretty busy while we were there and they seemed to be understaffed. I got the steak heater, Dan got the Brisket Sweet Heat, and our daughter got one of the chicken bowls. Both tacos were good. We tasted each other's taco. I liked mine much better and Dan preferred his. The Heater steak taco had some crunch to it. I tasted Debi's bowl. The sauce tasted good, but she said it is mostly rice. The wall paintings created a fun atmosphere. It gets a little noisy, but sometimes that's fun, especially if everyone is having a good time. Happy Hour is 3 to 6. The discounts aren't enough to motivate me to go, but if I'm ever with people who want to go between 3 and 6, I will take any discount offered. read more

Fried tacos wrapped in corn tortillas!? Why not?They are so delicious and have a unique taste. Hands down, the Chef got creative in here! Check out their Happy hour deal: - 3 -6pm: $6 house Marg, $1 off tacos. Cool place in a strip mall, walls covered with art & graffiti. read more

Great food and great service! Plus I always feel like I get more for my money especially with the rice bowl!

I've noticed some real improvements since my last visit in February 2024. We had stopped coming because the chips were overly salty, the bowls were flimsy, and the takeout lids never fit properly. This time, the chips were much better, the bowls were sturdier, and the lids finally fit. We had such a good experience that I came back again within a week. Unfortunately, they were out of their garden salsa. I probably should have left then. It was a Tuesday, and the truck was due that day--but still, how does a Mexican restaurant run out of salsa? The staff was friendly, but with so many other places to try, it'll be another year before I come back. read more

Food is pretty good and usually fast. Came for dinner on a Saturday night at 6:15pm. Not a ton of people. The women's restroom was atrocious. Overflowing garbage. No toilet paper in one stall. Dirty toilet in the other. If they aren't paying attention to the cleanliness there it does make you question what's happening in the kitchen. read more

This place has a lot of artsie graffiti splash on every wall that has been meticulously painted by a handful of Knoxville artists. Well done! The roll up garage doors that are protected by a screen kept the breezes coming in and kept the bugs out. It was very clean inside and out, including the restrooms. Our server explained that the menu is primarily for a la carte dining; there are a few exceptions. The Margarita prices are outrageous $8.95 and beware, as you build your own taco, many of the options are additional pricing. We each had two tacos and a margarita and our bill was $58.47. Most of the tacos are spicy Hot so there were only a handful from which we could comfortably choose. We were told that each taco comes in a hard corn taco shell covered with a soft flour tortilla. We chose from their "Bud Box" where we could have two tacos and 1/2 helping each of dip. When the order arrived, one of my wife's tacos had only the corn taco shell. The server told us that this particular taco only comes with one taco shell. The tacos were good sans the one with only one shell. The tortilla chips were stale. (We dined at 2:13 pm so perhaps they were remnants from the lunch rush). When we got the bill, there were two sales tax charges - one for $2.31 and one for $1.66. There was a liquor tax charge of $2.68 which increased the actual price of our Margaritas to $10.29 each and an additional $1.00 charge for a 1/2 chorizo dip that was on the Bud Box menu. We were told that the chorizo dip, even though listed on the $12.00 Bud Box menu , was a $1 up charge. I was hoping for a great experience but was truly disappointed. read more

Great place....super cool inside with all the murals. Upon entering restaurant, wife & I were warmly greeted. Our server, Zack, was fantastic. He had great suggestions for tacos, burritos or nachos. We decided to "build" our own nachos with Tex Mex ground beef, lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeños and queso. We "sauced" it with house sauce and got 2 toppings on the side; Cilantro-Lime Aioli & Dirty Sauce (hot). Both sauces were good. Nachos were very very good. Would definitely return! read more

If you're in a nacho mood, you will not be disappointed. The portion is humongous! I love that I can pick any toppings I would like. I don't like my nachos to get soggy, so I ask for the queso on the side. You can get all the sauces you want either on top or on the side. If you're the type of person that wants it YOUR way, this is the place to go! read more

Let's start with the good - Super trendy decor, great location, and lots of parking. Great service, friendly manager, and delicious Margarita flight. Now why am I giving this chain based out of Ohio 3 stars? Tacos are a poor man's food. Tacos aren't meant to be $5 a taco.... Unless that taco is stuff with filet or super expensive meat. Chorizo? Pulled chicken? CHEAP! You should not be charging $5 for cheap meat. The tortilla chips are also super thick. They say it's so they hold their own under their sauces. But they aren't my thing. Overall, I won't be back. I'd rather go up the street to the more authentic Mexican joint. read more

What a vibe :) it's nice to have something that gives a different spin on something that you could probably get the same way all over Knoxville. Overall, I'd give the debut a strong 4.5/5: +1 - Venue and look +1 - Food and drink +1 - Staff and service +1 - Cleanliness inside and restroom +0.50 - Location and Parking I really loved all the tacos i tried; the street corn was not my jam but still came out looking great. Definitely get some of the dips and salsa to try, it's worth it! Loved looking at all the artwork and really digged it. Will be back again to try the rest of the menu! read more

Our daughter recommended this place for lunch. Quirky decor with interesting art work all over the walls. Service was slow but they were obviously understaffed. I got a brisket taco called Sweet Heat. It was tasty. Spouse had a steak taco which she also liked. Daughter got a bowl with roasted chicken, corn and other ingredients. 16 oz Miller Lite draft was $5. read more

If you want non-heavy Mexican food this is the place to go! Great staff and quick service. Try the Mexican corn and the nachos!

This was our first time going and we enjoyed most of everything we tried!The four of us all got different tacos to try. The dips as an appetizer were guacamole, queso, and Mexican corn dip. All really amazing!Some of favorite tacos were the sweet heat, the blue dream,chicken bacon ranch(but I think it could use more sauce),and the cali green. The ambiance was really fun and our waiter Chris was wonderful!Something I would add from a customer perspective is about the margaritas, while they have plenty of tequila, the flavors seem to be weak. The strawberry didn't taste much like strawberry.But, we will definitely go back! read more

Good margarita. Absolutely disgusting tacos. Taco Bell has better food than this corporate hell

Marg flight was awesome, plenty of flavors and combos to choose from. Chips were hard, cold and unseasoned. If you like thin chips this place is not for you. The dips were good. Tacos were just okay. Service was A1, our waiter was attentive and helpful. The vibe gives pineapple express, reminds me of Mellow Mushroom. read more

We love Condado tacos! We go here every Sunday. There are so many different tacos to choose from and some really great original flavors! Just. Heads up, this isn't a free tortilla chip Mexican kind of place. It's more original than that! If you want chips then you order one of their salsas or guacamoles. The street corn guac is killer! They also serve homemade chips. Some of the best tacos are the purple haze, sweet heat, and the Korean bbq. On top of having great food they also have the nicest servers, Daniel is exceptionally nice, accurate and will even memorize your order after only a couple visits. This place is a must try, just don't expect typical Mexican tacos, be prepared for something better! Oh and it's easy on the eyes, they recruit local artists to deck the place out in their original designs. read more

Food was amazing. Very different to any other Mexican inspired restaurant in Farragut. Ambiance reminds me of a Miami taco fusion spot, very colorful and fun, lots of space. Service was absolutely sub par. Unfortunately stereotypical millennial ran restaurant with a hostess that has head phones on. She doesn't hear you and when you repeat yourself she tries to make you feel bad. Servers are all space cadets that are "vibing" through there day and the fact that they have to serve you is an inconvenience for them. read more

Upon entering this establishment you are quickly mesmerized by the VIVID artwork all over the walls, it's displayed in BOLD BRIGHT colors from ceiling to floor. It's almost distracting, so much so, I couldn't stop looking around. It's an open airy environment with a good size bar, high top tables, outdoor patio seating with umbrellas. My husband and I were approached by a friendly server who welcomed us when we told her it was our first visit. She explained the menu (which is basically tacos prepared many options, even build your own and flavored margaritas.) We were also told what was NOT available, which I appreciated before requesting it, so not to be disappointed. I found the menu to be a bit pricey, the tacos and margaritas were okay, nothing spectacular. We've had tastier ones. Overall, the service was quick, friendly and attentive. read more

We had the opportunity to try this cool establishment while on a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee. Our server Chloe was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable when helping us chose our selections. Although we didn't have a full meal we totally enjoyed our margaritas and chips with 3 different dips. The decor is interesting and well done, a zodiac theme. Living in a small, rural Indiana town I didn't realize this is actually a chain, I'm anxious to visit some of the other locations in my state. read more

I was excited to see a new restaurant move into this location in Turkey Creek. I visited last week with an out-of-town friend who was driving through Knoxville. We started with Three Buds, which is chips, along with our choice of three dips. We selected the Smoked Cheddar queso, tomatillo salsa, and Mexican street corn. All were delightful. One thing to note is that the chips are very thick. I enjoyed them, but my friend was not really a fan. For our meal, we each chose two tacos. I had the Sweet Heat taco, which has brisket and pineapple salsa. This one was by far my favorite. I also had the Lucy's Fire taco, which was pretty good, but I would probably choose something else next time. Service was good, and we were able to sit awhile to talk and visit. There's some really cool art on the walls. We sat inside, but there are also quite a few tables outside as well. read more

Service from our server Ashley was super friendly! She was great. Very attentive and made good food recommendations. Happy hour drink deals are (a pitcher of house margarita that generously serves four was $25 instead of $38!). No one in our party thought the chips were too thick and they were salted well. The menu is a little overwhelming for first time visitors but just take your time! We ordered smoky queso dip, street corn, Sweet Lucy taco with pulled pork, the Heater taco, Sweet Heat taco, nachos with just cheese and black beans, Korean bbq taco, and we enjoyed it all. Our whole party (3 adults, 2 kids) wants to come back! Win!! Will definitely recommend to friends! My only complaint is there was an inappropriate photo of a naked woman with privates covered by smoke in the men's room which really bothered my 10 y.o. son. The atmosphere is trendy urban graffiti but they don't need that photo in a family-friendly restaurant washroom. read more

I went with my Mexican-food-loving friend group for dinner on Saturday and we were very impressed! Pros: - The atmosphere is really fun. From the murals on the walls, to the open garage door style windows on a pretty summer day, to the cool staff. - THE FOOD. I love a good taco, but I'm not one for spicy (I know, I know) and both tacos I ordered were great.. but oh my word, the Korean BBQ was AMAZING. If you're like me and love sweet + savory together, order these tacos! I also got the Blue Dream, and while it was pretty great, the Korean BBQ was a hard act to follow. - this deserves it's own bullet point, the queso menu is extensive, bordering on ridiculous in the best way. We got the Blanco and it was wonderful; but now I want to go back and try some others! - the location is great. Right off Pellissippi, and in the heart of Turkey Creek, you're walking distance to tons of shopping, the movie theater, drinks, or dessert. Cons: (These are very minor compared to how great the pros are, but still worth noting) - someone in our party ordered a taco bowl, and all the toppings (like 4 or 5) came in little plastic to-go ramekins. It seemed weird that they wouldn't put the toppings on for you? - stroller accessibility was pretty rough (high curbs outside, not much space between tables inside, etc). This isn't a big deal for most people, but if you're trying to navigate dinner options with a stroller or a wheelchair, Condado is possible but not what I would consider a top option in this respect. I didn't get photos of our food, so enjoy my girl's first highchair experience there instead! read more

I pickup Doordash here frequently and whether they are busy or not I have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for my order. Today I noticed a couple waiting to order. After me being here for 5 minutes I saw them grab a menu from another table. About 5 minutes or so later someone finally came to take their order. And the lady also had to steal a napkin dispenser, salt and pepper from another table l will never come here with my wife, that's for sure. read more
