Prepare for greatness. The chips were served warm and the salsa cold. They serve beer! A great way to wash down your meal. The hubs said his chili verde was among the best he's ever had (worth finishing with a Tums). It definitely tasted like it was made from scratch. I loved the shrimp chipotle. So many shrimp! So much fiery spice! The perfectly seasoned rice, sour cream and guac cooled things down (and the beer helped). Oh, that guacamole? Spring for the appetizer of it--chunky with just the right amount of onions--so good. It wasn't the best part (because the food was so good) but the check was mighty nice. I felt bad paying so little for this meal.

The train made a stop in Watertown so we stopped at the first restaurant that we all agreed upon…read more For the train to frequently stop there, they seemed taken aback by the larger crowds. It's a smaller restaurant so I understand. We were initially given 1 restaurant per table. Later was given 2 more. (Table of 8 where I was seated) I figured it was more of lack of menus. I ordered a margaritas and it came pretty watered down. I didn't complain as I didn't NEED the cocktail but why in Rome... The food was ok. But came out quickly considering the amount of people in the restaurant. I felt overall it wasn't as flavorful as what I'm used to at Mexican restaurants I frequent. Prices are reasonable.

I usually order the same couple of things from a restaurant, but this menu sends me into a frenzy trying to decide between their creative entrées. Have a margarita or two.

If folks in the community can't afford a meal, they can pop into Acapulco and grab a receipt for something hot to eat for free.

The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. The atmosphere really fits the food and gives you authentic Mexico vibes, which makes the experience even better when you're there. It is a little on the pricier side compared to some other Mexican spots around, but it's absolutely worth the extra money for the quality you get. They're also extremely baby and toddler friendly, which makes a huge difference for families. The staff is always very accommodating and patient, and it's a comfortable place to bring kids. Honestly, I'd go as far as saying it's the best Mexican restaurant anywhere in the circle between Murfreesboro, Cookeville, Chattanooga, and Manchester. If you're anywhere in that area and craving Mexican, Los Trojas Cantina is absolutely worth the stop.

We took the back road on Rt 70 back home to Nashville from Sparta, TN and we stopped in Smithville Tn for late lunch! So, why not a little MEXICAN FOOD...I love mexican food!!! ( is that politically correct?) anyway, I love it. We went into the restaurant and it was packed. They greeted us immediately and put us in a great booth. They took our drink order immediately and brought us some chips and salsa. Great salsa but a little too much cilantro ...but I love cilantro!!! Tony ordered a bottle of Budweiser and I ordered an unsweet tea with lemon and lime. Tony ordered a Chimichanga (steak) with great cheese sauce with side of refried beans and mexican rice...I stole his pico and guacamole sauce...(love it love it love it) and I ordered a lunch portion of chicken and steak fajita ( I didn't eat the flour tortillas) I ate it like a salad with my side of mexican rice and refried beans with guacamole and pico sauce..it was so delicious!!!!
