Hate to leave my once go-to spot for Mexican food a bad review but after today? They earned it. We…read morewere very disappointed how how we were treated by thecashier, who either is the owner or the manager or both. We noticed added fees on our bill so we very politely asked her to explain them. Before she even looked at the bill? She started to break down the fees, leaving me thinking that many others must have been asking about them too! Anyway......she now charges $1.29 for two small slices of lemon for iced tea if you dare ask for more than the tiny 1 slice that now comes with the $3.49 glass of tea! Note* They used to give you a few small slices on a tall glass of tea. Now? They intentionally offer only one, forcing most tea drinkers to have to ask for more, then they charge you extra for what used to be part of a basic ice tea order and they do it without even telling you. Also? They only give you two very tiny tortillas for a huge/adult dinner portion steak fajita meal where you would need at least 4-6 of their tiny tortillas just to eat this particular meal (AS IT IS INTENDED to be eaten!). Need another tortilla or two? No problem if you ask but they are now $1.49 extra, EACH. Nobody tells you about that up charge either until the bill comes so we spoke to the manager when checking out to ask her about it. As longtime & loyal customers, she knows us pretty well. We were polite and expected nothing less than the same in return, along with a reasonable explanation. Nope! As soon as I said "I just have a question about some charges on here that I am unfamiliar with, since I always get the exact same things." She started off with "yes, more tortillas are usually needed for a meal that big and that's why we sell you extras!". So then we asked her: "why do you offer a meal that requires a few more tortillas due to the very tiny size that you use and shortchange the meal but only giving two? Why not provide enough as part of the actual meal, just like other restaurants do?" That question went right over her head and she went straight to a "rising costs" excuse. As for the lemon pieces? She said how expensive they are too so if you want more than just a tiny piece! "We will bring them to you but it's $1.29 extra". For two small pieces, I asked? I told her that NOBODY in this area ever charges paying customers for extra lemons, not even El Jimador, the competing Mexican Restaurant in town. She didn't like hearing that so she just waved her hand in a goodbye gesture and said "thank you and have a nice day". Wow, how surprisingly rude and very dismissive she suddenly became! We paid the extra $4.29 plus tax because that wasn't the issue for us. The principle behind WHY she added those those fees and nobody disclosed them until I spotted them on the bill and asked? That WAS the issue for us. Her bait and switch game is not hurting our feelings one bit but it will cost her business at least $150 a month in further income because that's the least that we spent there each month and after her attitude today? We won't be back. THERE ARE OTHER MEXICAN RESTAURANTS that we can enjoy without feeling like we're now being ripped off. I wonder how many other overcharged customers will dine elsewhere now too? She'd be wise to remind herself of that. So we're now sticking with El Jimador, where their service is always good, their food is always fresh and they aren't trying to rip customers off with that kind of nickel & diming of their customers. I don't care to hear her whining about rising costs as if she is the only one paying any. We ALL are! I do care about having b/s fees quietly added to our bill by greedy and cheap owners who clearly disrespect their loyal customers. Customers who always tip their servers as well as we do. 30-40% every time. Now? I'm just hoping that our favorite server will quit this place and start working at El Jimador so we can keep supporting him. We are going to miss their salsa and our favorite server, but that's how it goes! We're done with supporting this place.

We were very impressed with Silvia's and will definitely be returning. Great food, great service, and a place we're happy to have found in Knoxville!

I ordered the shrimp fajitas which was very tasty. My daughter had ordered the enchiladas Verde. I…read moresaid why would it have tomato sauce when Verde means green. I said she wants it with green sauce because that's how it's supposed to be made not red tomato sauce. The beans tasted very sour like moldy cheese and the rice was very bland and flavorless. I ordered the guacamole which was just chopped up avocado with salsa and an extreme amount of lime juice. So I definitely would not recommend the guacamole because it's not legit guacamole. My daughter said her food was very bland. Soooo why not get legit Mexican to cook some flavor into the food?

What happened? I am crossing fingers the usual chef is simply on vacation because our meal tonight…read morewas terrible. Carnitas Guacamole special is always my go-to. Tonight, the meat was sparse, dry (yet fatty), and bones were left in. There was undercooked rice and underseasoned beans (which are usually amazing). Probably the worst part of the meal? The guacamole had literally no avocado in it. They instead chopped tomato, cilantro, and onion and tried to pass it off as guacamole. My husband was also missing avocado that was supposed to come with his meal, so they must have been out. If so, we would have loved a phone call to let us choose an alternative or give a discount, given that guac was a main part of my meal. My husband ordered the beef rib plate and said it was perhaps the worst meal he's had all year. It was served with tortillas but the meat was so incredibly chewy and inedible, served as a long strip with bones intact. He felt the same as me about the rice and beans. We DID like the cojita cheese with the beans, the homemade tortillas, and the tortilla chips with salsa verde. We normally love the queso with its tasty, somewhat runny consistency, but today, it was congealed with a hard film covering the top. We microwaved it thinking it would help, but it was still so chunky that we couldn't dribble it over our meals. It got tossed. Because of previously amazing experiences, we will try it again (and hopefully update review) but if it is the same lacking quality, we will probably find a new spot.

Our server told us they just added churros to their menu, so we got an order to go, and take home to our daughter (the babysitter). She loved them and the dulce de leche sauce they came with.
