Well, where do I even start with this place? I'll begin with the restrooms -- they were some of the worst I've seen, absolutely unpleasant. The place overall feels very overwhelming. There are drawings and bright colors everywhere -- on the chairs, tables, walls, even the menu. There's not a single spot without something going on. In my opinion, it's just too much. The service, without exaggeration, was just okay. As for the food, I have mixed feelings. The flavors were decent, but everything felt a bit over the top. Guacamole is one of my favorites, but here it had a strange taste. The person I was with mentioned it had cucumber (I didn't notice it myself), but it definitely wasn't to my liking. The presentation of the dishes was probably the highlight, but the flavors didn't really win me over... everything felt a bit too excessive.

Food was good, the restaurant was a mess with tables full of empty plates and such, and the flies were so bad. Good semi-authentic Mexican food!

I'm so happy I finally tried this spot! I've been here twice in the last month and the food has been amazing on both occasions! The guacamole was made fresh and was a good portion size for sharing between two people. It was perfect after we added in a squeeze of lime and salt. Both meals I've tried came out in a timely manner and tasted fantastic! The churros were good as well. The servers were attentive the entire time! No complaints at all after our visits!

Excellent, the fajita chicken burritos were the best we've ever ate. It was very pallet pleasing.

Drinks delivered quickly and orders taken. In the meantime, let's enjoy warm chips with refried beans and salsa. All were flavorful and nicely done. Orders taken included carne asada, fajitas, and cheese covered burrito. The food came out very quickly and was surprising considering a packed house. Asada and fajita beef both reported to be perfectly done but lacking seasoning. Cheese covering burrito was fantastic and refried beans a bit runny but full of flavor. Wait staff was very timely all the while working their tail off. Certainly a professional here. Prices are fair. Portions were good. Nothing negative to report. Overall, listen to Yelp! and check this place out.

Vegetables are vegan if you ask for them to be sautéed in oil, otherwise it's margarine which may or may not have dairy in it. Refried beans were vegan, as is, no lard in them Corn tortillas were good to go. Not a lot of options, but nice that there were some! Our server was really helpful - even though we were a pain with all our questions, LOL We were brought out chips with salsa and a bean dip which had cheese in it, so that didn't work, but once we got that figured out, it was smooth sailing. The inside is nicely decorated and makes it very homey.

What really sets Talitas apart is the amazing Honduran flair they bring to their Mexican dishes. Having spent nine years in Tucson and the last two years in East Texas--both places known for outstanding Mexican food--I can honestly say Talitas ranks right up there with the best. The salsa is delicious and comes with two additional house sauces. The green sauce is mild with incredible flavor, while the red sauce definitely brings the heat. If I'm saying it's spicy, you can count on it having a real kick! The fajitas were absolutely fantastic--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generously portioned. If you're looking for authentic flavors, great service, and a spotless restaurant in Pigeon Forge, Talitas is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

We had the mixed fajitas with corn tortillas. It came with shrimp, beef, pork, and chicken. Refried beans and rice and a delicious mixed tomato topping completed the plate. Two of us split one serving. The owner is also the order taker and a jewel. He explains each dish you ask about. Prices are very moderate given today's horrible economy. I recommend the place for an authentic experience and good food.
