I've ordered from El Machete twice now. The food arrives hot, looking delicious, and nicely put together in the to-go containers. Always comes with fresh salsa and chips. Definitely recommend them! I order an arroz con pollo and chicken quesadilla. Both are always great! read more

We stood waiting on a table with zero acknowledgment and the place was a graveyard. We were staying across the highway and noticed nobody came in. Whoever is the manager is needs to be fired. Would not recommend read more

I ordered El Mechete through uber eats. There wasn't an option to add hot sauce so I called and they added it to my order. I ordered three tacos (Al pastor, asada, and carnitas) all three were delicious, my favorite was the asada. The hot sauce was HOT, but I couldn't stop eating it. The guac portion was great and had an authentic flavor. Definitely a good Mexican option! read more

I ordered my food through door dash as always . I got there and I had no food . They apparently let someone else have my food. Then tried to say the person who got it had my credentials. There is absolutely no way that would be possible. After sitting there in 90' weather while my other food was ruining for 45 extra minutes that I had picked up for the rest of my family. I didn't get a refund from door dash nor my food replaced. Obviously I wouldn't have wasted my valuable time dealing with a bunch of idiots Arguing over my food if I had gotten it. The response I got from the owner was "I have camera footage of the dasher that took ur food and if I hear anything I will let u know . " I was told I could reorder my food , yeah right I'm going to do that when they was incompetent the first time. I'm going to give them more money.. NOT !! read more

We were driving back from Dollywood craving Mexican and we stumbled upon El Machete! Very unique and tasty Mexican, in TN!! More of a hidden gem that we were pleasantly surprised and satisfied by with the food, service and dining experience. Very clean restaurant as well. Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

Delicious and great service! Definitely recommend to anyone in the area. We enjoyed our meal and time with family in a friendly atmosphere.

Service was fast and friendly!! The "Burrito Tejona" was excellent and huge! I could only eat half of it!! Lots of steak and hot peppers!! The fountain cokes are great. Sometimes I stop in just to get a fountain come to go! Thanks! Jack MANESS read more

We were hungry for some good food. So glad we stopped here (at the suggestion of our realtor). Our food was amazing, my steak fajita quesadillas were tender and the peppers hit the spot! My BFF had a watermelon margarita and it was super tasty. She sucked that down even before we finished eating. My hubby had beef tacos and he didn't complain. Our chips were warm and salsa had a great taste. I will return here in the future! Quick service and friendly. read more

Hubby and I decided to try this fairly new place. It is on 66. We were in Knoxville so we called to make sure they would be open. We were seated right away...place was fairly busy.

Food was mediocre. Seated quickly. Just wasn't my kind of Mexican food. Away from all the hustle and bustle of the area.

Well I'm going to start by saying we will be back! Service was great, food came out hot and the salsa was great. I loved the street tacos. I had all 4. The Al pastor was my favorite. Each one had cilantro and onion with plenty of meat. That's the way to serve tacos. The beef burrito with cream sauce was tasty as well. The place was clean and it looked like an average Mexican restaurant. The quality of food and service is much more important to me than what the decor is. read more

It was great the tacos the beef amazing for a road trip and the waiter was amazing and the food was quick.

the service was quick which was great. The ambiance wasn't really much of a traditional Mexican vibe, the food was pretty much okay, wasn't great nor bad. Wouldn't really recommend it to anyone that it trying to get a real experience and taste of the Mexican cuisine. Save your money and best go somewhere else read more

In town for a family celebration so didn't feel like leaving the resort so we had the food delivered. I was amazed when I opened the box at the amount of meat. We ordered the Texas Fajitas (steak, chicken & shrimp) wow the amount of food for only $16.99. The food was piping hot and very tasty. If we lived here would definitely be a regular. Great choice!!! read more

El Machete - Texas Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Not the best. Flavorless dishes. Too much cheese, watery enchilada sauce. Tamales not bad. Blah burritos. Rushed server in a practically empty restaurant. Never checked on us after dropping food off. Dirty glasses. Salsa no heat. Seems like very little effort into the recipes and experience. read more

Went back on 12/13 for lunch. The waitress was cordial and took our drink orders in a timely manner. Only 3 tables of guests at 12:30pm. The cheese quesadilla looked & tasted like it had been frozen & thawed. It definitely wasn't fresh. I am all about second chances and this was it. They failed. Will not go back. read more

I'm happy we stopped here on our way out of Gatlinburg. Very clean place. Very well done Mexican food. With a vast menu and tasty options there's something for everyone! Our server was a sweet gal who had a good attitude and was eager to help us choose a dish. It's easy to miss this place as it's in a shopping strip. But we found it from a billboard. Really good salsa and chips with a clean dining area. The value is good for the food and none of us left disappointed. We would definitely visit again when we are in the area. Thank you! read more

Food wasn't that good and very expensive for bad quality food would not recommend to anyone that wants good Mexican food Service wasn't good either the waiter forgot some food that one of my members order I am very disappointed read more

Placed to go order & paid with credit card. Hubby went to pick up. Gave him two bags and said he had not paid. He again gave them credit card for $66.71. Returned to our hotel, guess what it was not our order. Nothing close to it. So we got charged twice for food we did not order. Then to add more insult when you try to call phone number it goes to a full mailbox. Then we tried to eat the food, it was terrible. Cold, no taste. Yes out of towners got screwed. Welcome to Sevierville TN. read more

Food is good but service is not the greatest as you will wait a while. I have ate here only once but eventually I will try it again to se if the business has changed. They own Pollo Loco and El Ranchero as well. read more

No alcohol in the mixed drinks and seats were just wooden benches. Staff doesn't speak English, refried beans had the consistency of soup, the rice was bland. Quesadillas were OK, but steak was hard, chewy and fatty. Just not worth visiting. All four in our party provided this review! read more

Horrible Waitress(Andrea) High prices not worth it at all Don't go there!!! Took 30 minutes to get the food then then the girl was scared to give me then check after I asked three times by her and two other people. read more

El Machete - a receipt for a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Great food, more traditional than most Mexican places. The street tacos were great, and the Michela was the best I've ever had!

Best Mexican restaurant ever !!!!!! At first glance you wouldn't think it would be such a great find since it's such a small place in a strip connected to a grocery store but this place is a must. The food is so flavorful and fresh. Very kind staff as well. read more

When shopping at Smokey Mountain Knife Works, it is fitting to eat at a place called El Machete!!!!! Pretty typical Mexican food spot, maybe a little above average with excellent service. On a Sunday at 1 pm, they were full. I ordered the Beef Chimichanga with extra cheese and my wife ordered the Shrimp Chimichanga. Both were excellent and the shrimp tasted great! I posted a pic of there salsa and queso. The salsa is average, but the spicy salsa is hot, just an excellent burn. The queso cheese was very running, served very very hot but as it cooled off, it started to thicken. read more

Went back, food quality and service were lacking this time. Needing some attention, some staff seem new.

We're visiting gatlinburg and decided to get some Mexican food near Smokey mountain knife works! The service was fast and the food was delicious. The salsa was ok but could do with more of a kick. Affordable pricing and great music! read more

I've eaten better " Mexican food " at a Taco Bell. The chicken was cold, dry, and stringy. The Guacamole looked like baked on dog shit. The lettuce was brown and the beans were mush. Just drive by this place and go to Taco Bell. read more
