Worth the 4 minute drive from the interstate! Such great service and even better food. You can tell this food is made with pride from a smaller family owned business.

This is the place you want to come when you want to be squished in like sardines with no possible way of social distancing during a pandemic. This might not be an issue for some, but I took issue with it. Limited masks were worn by patrons and they really were maximizing their space to their advantage. I feel that there should have been some regard to the situation considering the White House just basically told the govenor to issue a required state-wide mask mandate. Now that I am off that horse, there really is no other place to dine at in Sweetwater, Tennessee. There are some fast food places, but things are very limited and my friend and I wanted Mexican food. I obliged her despite my reservations upon stepping foot inside of Los Zacatecanos. Service and food were supreme. I really liked their consistency with checking in when they did. They missed no beat to check in on the patrons who were dining in. There was even a salsa station where you could pick out your own variety of salsa. I did not partake since I didn't want to do that, but the server was kind of enough to get me some salsa from the back that was being served on the portable salsa bar. Like I said, my problem doesn't exist with the service or food, it was the blatant disregard for safe social distancing. There was no space between anyone. That can be a danger situation if someone is not being mindful of the current conditions we are facing. Sincerely, Karen

Appetizer sampler platter

We drove out to the lost sea adventure and decided we were hungry after. This is a small yet cute restaurant. We ordered the appetizer platter, my husband thought we needed an extra quesadilla since we were sharing. My goodness the amount of food on this platter would have been enough!! It was delicious and one of the better meals we've had on our journey in and around Knoxville. They also have a salsa bar which was a great accompaniment to our meal Wonderful service and friendly too

Good salsa

Nice new Mexican restaurant opened and I decided to pop in for some lunch. Love the look and…read moreatmosphere here. Traditional look and it looks so clean and new inside. Service was quick and within minutes I was munching on chips and salsa with my drink in hand. Salsa was good with a mild spice so anyone can handled this with the option of spicing it up more if you wish. Ordered the lunch Chimichanga with regular sides and it was cooked perfectly. I would like to come sometime after work so I can try out some drinks.

Dirty & Dangerously Careless with Hygiene and Food Allergies - El Jimador…read more I had one of the most shocking and unsafe dining experiences I've ever had at El Jimador. We were seated at a table still covered in sticky residue and leftover food from the previous guests. We waited 5 minutes, hands in the air, before someone came to clean it. Before ordering, I clearly told our waitress, Maria (older woman, dark hair) that I have a dairy allergy and that no dairy could be on my food. She said she understood. When my plate arrived, there was cheese on the beans. I sent it back, and ten minutes later, Maria returned with a "fixed" plate. Halfway through eating, I discovered beans with cheese hidden under the toppings -- meaning I had already consumed dairy. For someone with an allergy, this is not a "small mistake" -- it's dangerous and can cause hours of severe illness or even send someone to the hospital. When I asked for the manager, Manuel was dismissive, handed me his business card, and said, "Call me if you make it to the hospital." I explained my symptoms would mean a long night of stomach pain and severe bathroom issues, and that I had been clear about my allergy multiple times. His response? "What do you think I should do?" When I suggested at the very least comping the meal, as I would be running the pharmacy shortly after, Maria refused and sarcastically said, "Call us when you make it to the hospital," rolling her eyes. This was not just poor service -- it was dangerously negligent. The lack of cleanliness, blatant disregard for a stated allergy, and mocking attitude toward a serious medical concern show a complete failure in basic food safety and hospitality. If you have any dietary restrictions or care about hygiene, do not trust this restaurant with your health.
