You need to be careful with reading reviews. Everyone comes at them with different contexts. Most…read morecompare the {fill in the category} to the best they have encountered. Others, like me, rate them like the Westminster Dog Show: how does this Great Dane compare to others? How does this Bulldog compare? Only the finalist is compared across breeds. So if you are like my sons from Texas and compare it to the awesome Tex Mex near the border, you will be disappointed. But, I was raised in these mountains and compared to my expectations of an east Tennessee taqueria - it was wonderful. It exceeded my expectations of a quick taco joint in the foothills of the Appalachians. We were driving thru to visit relatives in Virginia and arrived just about closing. Which happened to be 7:30. They were gracious enough to sit us down and serve us even though I'm sure they wanted to go home. The chips were solid and the salsa was not spicy at all. I'm sure they target for their audience. I recommend using ketchup if you want something spicier. I went with the Chicken enchilada rojas. Basically, chicken in a red sauce. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavorful chicken. They REALLY did a good job there. The beans and rice were solid and could stand their ground most anywhere. If you want good tex-mex in the area, you won't go wrong stopping at La Lajita. NOTE: My son is much better at Spanish than me. He said that lajita means "little flat rocks". It's used descriptively for the limestone formations on the sides of mountains. Very apt name for the mountainous areas. From now on I'm going to refer to the exposed stone mountainsides as lajitas.

My son and I stopped here on a whim after a visit to the bookstore up the road. It was a Sunday…read moreafternoon and White Pine felt deserted. We found everyone here at La Lajita. . .and for good reason! I have not had such flavorful Mexican food with an authentic selection in YEARS, and not since a family vacation to New Mexico have I had hot sauce like theirs! Don't miss this spot when you're in White Pine, or even just close by. . .it's totally worth a special trip!
