I got a horchata when I sip it. It was awful it tasted water down and had no favor not even sweet…read more When I talked to the waiter to change my drink he refused to take it back saying once you drink it. It can no longer be taken back it's understandable why because what if I drank half of the cup but I only took one sip maybe two at best how am I supposed to know if I even liked. The food was good quesadillas were amazing but this definitely ruined the rest especially since I have to pay for the drink that taste awful and didn't even drink.

I was eager to visit on May 5th to try their $1 tacos after hearing good things from a friend. I…read moregot the chorizo and carne asada, but was not exactly wowed. However, I wanted to give them another try because I heard their pupusas are better, and since they're an El Salvadorian restaurant, it is more in their wheelhouse. Their pupusas hit! I got the beans and cheese and the pork and cheese. I preferred the beans and cheese. It was a delicious combination, and I am glad I gave them another try. Some tips: Parking can be hit or miss, but since it is mostly a takeout place, it tends to improve later on. You order at one counter and pay at another. If it seems your food is nowhere to be found, flag the staff.

I can't believe this place doesn't have a listing yet on Yelp...it's been here a good long while…read more Has a small grocery section but most of it is a little restaurant. Has some typical Mexican-type food (tacos, duh) but other items from Guatemala which I'd like to explore (especially the sopes- wish I had tried today the little pastries). The tacos I had were small, pre-laden with cilantro and onions, and just $2 each. Both meats I had (chicken, pork) were well flavored. Nice to be able to have a beer at lunch with the tacos, too. I'd give 3.5 stars if they allowed that. It's better than a lot of what passes for tacos in the south. Four stars as a taco joint, not as fine dining for sure.

This is a Mexican version of your corner store. Smallish but they have the basics you need to make…read moreMexican dishes. Lots of canned goods, sauces, tortillas, dried hot peppers, and they offer baked Mexican breads + pastries. Lots of drinks in coolers. Some candy and snack offerings. A very small place but worth a stop. The service is pretty normal for this place. Spanish speaking owners and employees who get you through the checkout line quickly. Very friendly in how they interact. Definitely a place to stop in and pick up a drink, a snack, or sone tortillas/Mexican food ingredients. They even have mangos and guava in one of the refrigerated coolers.

I had not been here since they expanded and now have a nice little room with tables for lunch…read more Both the store and the lunchroom are excellent. I had the arancini today; yes some places have fancier arancini but for the price, these were excellent and made a good small lunch (they come with marinara sauce). Also got lasagna to go and we ate it tonight-- delicious. The tray we got seemed expensive a bit but it was PLENTY for four hungry folks, with no other items served. LOVED the sausage I tasted in there. The lunchroom is basic; you order in the store then they'll bring it to you in the little room (where the shop used to be). You can get soft drinks or beer with the lunch from their shop, too. GREAT addition to Maryville/Alcoa eating!

The Italian Apron is such a great little gem that we have found in Knoxville, TN!…read more You cannot go wrong with anything here! We love that they have a little stand at the Knoxville Market on Saturdays. They just opened their new and improved shop at the same location in Maryville, it is now just bigger! The staff there is so friendly! Highly recommend!

Found this place for dinner while traveling. It's great!!!…read moreHubbie had Carne Asada Burrito- Steak+ grilled onion inside/Cheese sauce on top. Loaded with/meat- he loved it! Including beans+ rice for under $15. My Carnitas dish had an astounding amount of meat/we couldn't believe it- it made me 2 more meals. Also $15. And included beans w/cheese+ rice. Place was nice inside-bar area/booths+ tables. Great outside dining area as well. Pleasant staff - good quality + quantity of food. Great reasonable value. You'd love pics of the plates- sadly we were starving + ate as fast as possible. Next time in town we'll be BACK!

I just discovered this tienda which is near a friend's house. On walking in, I was surprised at the…read moreamount of choices for Mexican/Latino snacks, drinks, and food. We were looking for Oaxaca cheese and look in the fridgerated shelves. When we said it wasn't there, an employee gestured to follow. We walked up a small ramp-like step and entered another room to the store filled with so many vegetables, a meat counter, and a cheese counter. We would have not known it was there if we had not followed the employee. The cheese was excellent and fresh when used later that night. We grabbed some drinks, pastries (they have a selection of Mexican pasteries), and when checking out, saw homemade tamales for sale right at the checkout. We bought some of those as well and they were excellent. The employees are super helpful. While there they stepped in to help out with finding things without needing to be asked and explained things to people not of the culture which for me was amusing since I grew up in Southern Califorina. I am sure it would be helpful to anyone unfamiliar with anything in the store. The store is open late and I really recommend it to Knoxville dwellers. It is amazing and welcoming.

My absolute favorite place to eat in the whole Knoxville area…read more The sliced doner is always so flavorful and moist. The salad is fresh with a dressing that is beyond yummy and don't get me started in their homemade hummus. Probably the best I've had. Smooth and creamy and so tasty. My favorite dish is #2 Iskender kebab. I have no idea how well it heats up at home because I've never left and not cleaned my plate! I get this almost every time I come with someone and we share a couple dishes. Today however, I got my second favorite, which is dish #1 the diner kebab platter. I get this when I come here by myself because it's got all my favorites in the perfect proportions! Salad, doner over pilaf with hummus and pita. The folks here are super friendly and service is amazing. I love sitting in a little eating area because it makes me feel like I'm back in Europe traveling.
