Tried this restaurant again. Horrible experience! They seem…read moreapathetic. Peach margarita tasted nothing like a margarita. Returned it. The woman I told was unresponsive and didn't care. Food was bland and guacamole was just blended green tomatillo but couldn't detect any avocado. Service was slow and they were sitting in the back of the restaurant talking to each other. Salsa was too sweet and we had to add salt to doctor it up. The salt shaker was dirty with caked on food. Gross Beef fajitas were served barely warm. Glass windows are dirty with children's finger prints, chair legs are splattered with dried food on them. Will never return!

As we wend our way to Florida, we spend the night in Bristol for one main reason. This restaurant!…read more (The Hilton Garden Inn hits all the marks too, but as I have nothing to add I'm not updating that review.) My husband ordered five enchiladas each with a different stuffing. While delicious, unless you haven't eaten since last Thursday, who can consume so many enchiladas?! I shouldn't talk. The house special quesadilla -- always excellent -- is a lot of food. Ever resourceful, I took half back, put the chicken and peppers on a bagel and ate it for breakfast! (Note to self AND my husband: next time let's split one and maybe forego the steak and chicken. Chorizo and shrimp?!) Moving on, the salsa bar is great with smooth, chunky, mild and spicy salsas. That's not counting the warm bean spread brought to the table with their thin and crisp chips. Our margaritas -- $6 each -- are not only good but pretty, topped with berries and a flower. Here it is, Monday night -- not a typical going-out day of the week -- and the place is busy with locals. Pretty good testimony to what's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

Ate here 2 weeks ago. Sat at the bar like we always do, ordered some drinks and our meals…read more I decided to try the fried scallops and fried shrimp with baked potato. When my meal arrived I tried a scallop and it was awful. Cut another one in half and tried it...still terrible. Ate a few of the fried shrimp which were lukewarm warm at best and decided...wow, this meal sucks. The potato was fair. A server came and asked if I was done and I said yes...it wasn't very good at all and he could certainly see that I didn't even eat a 1/4 of my food. When my partner was done with his meal, which he enjoyed, the female bartender took his plate away and I said his meal was good, mine was awful. Both of the workers that I spoke with about my meal couldn't care less. I suppose it was my fault for not asking for a manager, but as someone who has worked in restaurants, one of the employees should have done something...anything to show they cared and tried to make things right. Left a $7 tip on a $70 bill (which was generous, considering my bad meal) This place has been hit or miss and this night was a huge MISS. Definitely won't ever come back to this location. We will drive the extra 20 minutes and go to the Abingdon location. Never had a bad meal there and the service has always been top notch.

Friendly and the food is good. If you get a pitcher of margarita, it will most likely be virgin…read more You will need to order shots of tequila. A local said it's best to order by the glass and not the pitcher.

**April 2025: Wednesday Late Afternoon Visit**…read more My friend and I were driving from Charleston, West Virginia to Pigeon Forge, Tenneesee and needed to rest and eat before heading to our destination. We're both from southern California so we have high expectations for Mexican food. When we entered we were plesantly surprised by the warm and colorful atmosphere. The chairs and tables had beautiful carvings and it just put a smile across my face. My friend and I each ordered a dish and honestly we probably could have shared one entree since the portion was enormous. Flavors tasted authentic and it was very filling. We had a ton of leftovers. Overall, a solid spot to enjoy some ethnic noms.

Food is usually good. I'm not a fan of their salsa, it just taste like puréed tomatoes. Sometimes…read morethe staff doesn't come check on you, & often are just playing on their phones. What really annoys me is all the upcharges and "service" fees and card fees. They add them to your bill before even knowing if you are using a card. And most of the time I use cash. Also it is against the CC laws to charge fees on a debit card, but they get by with it. I have had $5-6 extra fees on meals, so I quit going.

My husband is making me put 3* but personally I am more one or two star max. Very flavorless. The…read moresalsa was tasty best part of the experience, the choriqueso was nothing but bland cheese dip and a whole bunch of chorizo grease. Not good at all. The sausage tasted like burnt beef with chorizo grease to me. The tacos de carne asada were completely flavorless. The meat was browned and it tasted like that's it, not even browned in its own fat. It reminded of eating at your dreaded aunts house who don't even know what salt and pepper is. Then they tossed some onions and cilantro on it and called it a taco. I wasn't a fan, husband said it was tolerable when you added the red salsa they served it with. However the rice and beans again flavorless, so much so my husband didn't finish the side dish and that NEVER happens. For a small town with not much else to offer they had food and it was semi edible. Personally I wouldn't return but husband said he would give it another chance. That's why we are at three stars.
