Passing through and we saw the reviews on this place so we decided to give it a try. We will definitely be back! Great food and service. The cheese is as good as all the reviews say, get it. The guac was really good too once a little salt was added. And the Margarita's were good and very reasonably priced. As for food, the Molcajete was excellent. I will be ordering this again. It came with carnitas, beef, shrimp, chicken, and chorizo along with a ton of vegetables. It was all really good but my favorites were the shrimp and chorizo. Huge serving size was also a plus. My wife said the Pina Rellena Fajitas were great as well. As for other food, the chicken quesadilla was just ok because of the shredded chicken being dry and the chicken enchilada was even drier so that made it worse. Both had shredded chicken in them which I would not order again. My grilled chicken in the Molcajete was excellent however so I would just stay away from the shredded chicken personally. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive so this is a major strength here as well! read more

Decided to stop here for dinner after a long day in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. Great prices and delicious food. My friend & I shared the chicken fajitas for two and still took home leftovers. The service was also good. We had a table of 5 and everything came out fast. read more

Good Mexican food I really liked it. It's close to the house and I often do call ins.

The food was delicious and authentic. New to the area and trying to find the good spots. This is one of our favorites so far. Check it out.

Pretty good food. Plates looked a little short last time so we've started going to the one in dandridge.

Even the simplest item on the menu was fantastic - I had the crunchy beef tacos. The service was also great - it seemed like there were only two people working and they nailed it. They juggled serving tables, taking calls, and handling walk-in to-go orders with minimal delay. Our server was very friendly. Ambiance is what you might expect - fun music & cozy decorations read more

First time at Don Marcos and we love Mexican food. To start ask for the spicy salsa and mix it with the normal table salsa for a bit of a perfect blend of flavor and heat. The location is clean and not very loud even when full. Nice staff and friendly for new guests. I ordered the Pina Rellena Fajitas which is a mixed meat fajita plate ( chorizo, steak and chicken) served in a PINEAPPLE! The juice soaks into the spicy fajita flavors in a sweet surprise. I have only been here once, but if a local this would be it for me! A real delight. My wife and daughter split the chicken fajitas single. It was plenty for the two of them. They liked the flavor and loved the rice and beans. Very authentic rice and beans. Guacamole was ver good also. One critique is the inclusion of tomatoes in the fajitas. They did not like them as it seemed to dilute the fajita flavor with too much extra liquid. But we all went away happy. read more

A very friendly small restaurant in a shopping center with excellent food. A nice delight on our travels.

Was pleasantly surprised when I rolled up to this restaurant tucked away in a strip mall. Food was excellent and well priced.

You know it's unfortunate because the food is so excellent but the service is so abysmal that it ruins the whole experience. 5 star food, 1 star service. 1 star kid crying the entire meal. read more

Was looking for something quick before a game and glad we came here. The food was hot and so fresh. The grilled shrimp tacos are so flavorful. The fajitas sizzled for nearly 5 minutes after arriving. So glad we tried them. read more

Not the cleanest Mexican restaurant in the world. The service was sub part and the food was nothing to write home about. They barely tried. read more

Great food at reasonable prices! I had the shredded chicken quesadillas. Chicken was the most tender I have ever had.

Sometimes when a place first opens its very popular, and then portions, service, cleanliness, go down hill! I am afraid the day we stopped by, this was the case. Mid afternoon, and we were spotted menus, table had residue from the day. I wiped with a wetone, and ordered, our usual attentive server was not as prompt. And we had to ask for many items. And when our food came it was missing items the menu said it had. At that point my hubby I could see was disappointed, and so was I We ate our meal, but last time we were in the area and I said honey you want to try Mexican he said not really. So we shall see, I, this business consistency is important, and cleanliness. read more

So happy to see a good Mexican restaurant in Kodak. After being to El Paso many times I can't say that the food is even authentic Mexican anymore. It's an Americanized Taco Bell imitation. Moving on, this a great hole in the wall located beside the Food City plaza in Kodak. The tiny place churns out great fajitas, chimichangas, and get the Molcajete! It was chicken, beef, steak and shrimp in a cast iron bowl smothered with cheese. I ate it three times it was so much food for 13$ it doesn't get any better. Not sure if they have liquor yet but I live so close it doesn't matter. Very personable staff and zero language barriers. They also do lunch specials even on Saturdays. Gracias!!! read more

Sometimes you just have to ignore the bad reviews. There are some people that you couldn't please even if you let them eat free. This place was family run and willing to please. We were very happy and exceptionally pleased with quality and quantity of food for the price. They had a large menu with Mexican dishes I have not experienced in other Mexican establishments. Try it, you'll like it! read more

We came from California to try this new restaurant that my family keeps talking about. So we flew in and stayed a couple of nights and visited. Whenever we go to don Marco's we came from Dollywood and we were hungry and while I was driving my family was searching places and we found the right spot. Which was don marcos because the color stood out to our family. Once we enter the beautiful place the way they designed it is beautiful. 10/10 experience good service. There food was amazing I have never tried some Mexican food like that it was amazing. 10/10 food. Would definitely recommend that you come try there food. read more

BEWARE. Michelle is awful. Rude. They gave us the wrong order. Blamed it on the kitchen then said we ordered the wrong thing. Michelle wanted to argue with us trying to ruin our lunch. Torn seats. Crappy place. read more

Tasty food. Affordable prices. Good and speedy service. I particularly like the salsa. Not trendy or hipster. A shopping center Mexican resturant is going to have the MexAmerican classics, of course but they are done well. This place will exceed your expectations. If your traveling past on I-40 and want a quick, hot, sit down meal, this is a good stop. read more

This was my first time going here. It's a very small hidden place in a strip mall. The service was very very slow and it took forever for them to take our order and even longer to bring our food out. The only good thing I can tell you was the food was really good and tasty. Just don't be in a big hurry. The food was worth the wait.. read more

The waitress is incredibly beautiful and helpful. We ordered shrimp and steak dinner meal and it was delicious. FREE chips and salsa and if you want spicy salsa, please request the waitress. People who love to eat are always the best people. To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art. We all eat, an it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly. If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him...the people who give you their food give you their heart. Thank you Don Marco's! read more

The entire experience here was fantastic. It's located in a strip mall and the interior is decorated really nicely. The red quesadilla was great- a chicken quesadilla with a red sauce on top. Also, for dessert, I got a Xango which is like a fried cheesecake and I definitely recommend it if you get the chance to go here. read more

Everything I have eaten here has been delicious! Hamburgers are tasty. Baked spaghetti is delicious! The onion rings are great! The pizza is wonderful!

The wraps are average. read more

No, this joint is nice. I'm from Austin Texas. I've eaten at Mexican restaurants in Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina. This just might be my favorite place. No it's a small place and the booths are about well they're about to fall apart some of them but the food itself the man make some decisions that are just tasty and very pleasing to the eye my wife got the dish that was served in a pineapple, she absolutely adored it and I got the one that comes in the bowl. Both of them sizzling can't think of the name of it but I'm telling you all the homemade tortillas were on point the salsa was on point of chips or warm. The staff was friendly very clean restaurant bathrooms are clean but the food the food was real nice they do a nice guacamole some places do some places don't this place does I hope you have a chance I strongly suggest checking them out. read more

Best taco salads! My wife love the margaritas. The place was practically full but the service was still good. Highly recommend this place.
