This place lived up to the hype…read more I've been hearing from anyone that I ask this is THE place if you're looking for in Maryville and it delivered. We had the California fries, a carne asada taco, a chicken taco and my kiddo had the ground beef taco kids meal. Everything that was got was stellar. They have a salsa bar with fresh onions, limes, pico, a few different hot sauces and some other staples. Everything tasted AMAZING - legit best Mexican food I've had in a while. The restaurant itself isn't much, it's attached to a gas station and it's not the nicest but the food was more than amazing.

I got the shrimp burrito, and the shrimp tasted fresh as if you got them at the beach. Nothing was over spiced or overdone. The staff got our food out quickly and the only ding is that when my wife was asking about one of the items' ingredients, the cashier seemed frustrated at her questions and let out an audible huff. Not enough to lose a star but enough to mention.

Had a full bar too serving up multi flavor margaritas and dis equis and coronas of course!

Love the decor in this Mexican restaurant located near the McGee-Tyson AirPort on Alcoa Highway…read more The booths and the high -top tables in the bar area are colorful and look like they may have come directly from Mexico. The service was relatively fast, the homemade chips and salsa tasted flavorful with chunks of onion and pepper and the food came out hot. My spouse's fajita chicken quesadilla appeared just as he likes it with a crispy tortilla that enclosed the meat, peppers, tomatoes and onions. His plastic plate also had a dab of guacamole on top of shredded lettuce. My ceramic plate, with its taco, enchilada and relleno, wasn't quite as delicious, yet okay. The taco was filled with seasoned hamburger and a sprinkle of lettuce on top - no cheese, no tomatoes, no sour cream. The enchilada was filled with the same taco meat, seasoned yet no visible cheese inside; fortunately lots of creamy cheese flowed out of the relleno when I cut it. Both the latter two came smothered in a mild red sauce with a bit of melted cheese on tops. We ate here maybe one or two times before and had no major complaints as the fare is pretty standard. There's a covered outdoor patio with fans, perfect for eating outside when the weather cooperates.

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.

You walk up to the counter, order your food, then head to the salsa bar to select your favorite freshly made salsas, cilantro, chopped onions, and lime wedges and grab a table. A few minutes later someone brings you your food and it's like Mexican heaven on a plate. We've eaten here several times and everything is always delicious. My husband loves their birria tacos with the side of broth for dipping them and I've made a meal out of their rice and generous serving of black beans, seasoned just right, rich and just a little creamy the way perfect black beans should be served then topped with my favorite salsas and cilantro. My daughter has enjoyed their tacos and nachos. It's not far from Maryville College so if you're in town or visiting your kid it's an easy spot to get to. I've never been there when there wasn't a line that formed at predictable times, but going a few minutes earlier or later than the lunch crowd especially saves some time. Once you order the food comes out fairly quickly. This is our go-to spot when we're on that side of town craving Mexican.

The chicken was grilled well and being smothered in cheese sauce, chorizo, and onions didn't hurt. The Al pastor street taco was fine but lacking in some flavor.
