    Chicken taco.

    As always it's was great service and the food is always amazing!! Great atmosphere with music and nicely decorated restaurant!!! Tried the shredded chicken street tacos. Yeah amazing! Then I'm taking home Pollo con Tamara I'm sure it will be amazing as well. Of course you have to get a margarita!!!!!

    After going to scout the B&B I didn't want to make the trek to Pigeon Forge. This is in a newer shopping center. Bright and fun environment. Fast and friendly service! The food was delicious. The grilled chicken and shrimp with a bit of cheese sauce and traded pico for guacamole. Enjoy!

    We stopped by for my boyfriend's birthday and were not disappointed! We had a party of 6 and were seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The employees were fun and seemed happy to be there. We started out with chips and salsa and of course queso. Everything was fresh so we were off to a good start. I ordered the enchiladas mexicanas and they were delicious! The chicken was cooked and seasoned just right. The sauce had a nice kick to it. The rice and beans were also good and not dry like some places. My boyfriend ordered the pina loka and loved it! He was surprised to find it on the menu as not to many places serve it. He said it was really good and ate every last bite of it. My absolute favorite part is when the employees came and sung happy birthday to my boyfriend and then our waitress smeared whip cream all over his face! It was just perfect. Something we will laugh about and remember for a long time. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone!

    I meeeeean, it's okay I guess. Service was aight. Food was aight. At least my girls enjoyed the chips and cheese; but honestly $5.99 for queso and guacamole each wasn't worth it. Times must be hard. And if that's the case... okay I get it. If not, theeeeeen they may want to come down a bit on the price... unless that's just the norm for TN Mexican joints. Unfortunately, this place won't be on my list of places to visit when I return. It's too pricey for aight food.

    One meal shared by two, on one day. That's all I have to rate this spot, but what we ordered was delish! I told the waitress I could not have flour, and she politely advised me to avoid what I was considering. We opted to share a dinner plate: Pork in a verde sauce with a side of rice and beans. She brought out a basket of warm and crisp tortillas with salsa. My companion ordered a beer which arrived quickly in a tall frosted glass. Our meal arrived in about seven minutes, a large plate of pork dressed in a spicy verde sauce. This was a great meal for under $25 including the tip and we were well satisfied after a morning of hiking in the park.

    In an area where the food game is disappointingly seriously lacking and where supposedly highly rated southern food that turns out to be no more than reheated frozen food is prevalent, Pollo Loco is a gem. I'm vacationing in the area and stumbled into Pollo Loco, hoping I could satisfy my craving for some actual fresh food, plus I do really love Mexican. I was not disappointed at all. The drinks come out in mason jars which is a cute touch. The salsa was excellent - thin and smooth just the way I like it, with great flavor and a good kick of heat. I also ordered the cheese dip and that was super tasty. Both the salsa and cheese dip came in large bowls. My husband and I couldn't even quite finish them and we both ate a lot. For my entree I got the Enchiladas Mexicanas which were 3 enchiladas smothered in 3 sauces - the queso, a verde sauce, and a hot sauce. The hot sauce was very good and spicy and I would definitely ask for more next time. My husband got the pollo loco and man, that was delicious. The chicken was super tender and well seasoned. He also got a couple of street tacos (steak and pastor) and raved about how delicious those were. The entree portions were generous. The service was also friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend stopping in Pollo Loco. The food is fresh and authentic, and a breath of fresh air in an area with some pretty mediocre food.

    I'm a picky Mexican, I have a lot of respect for my food and I hate when restaurants really don't make the effort to cook it good. So when we saw that this place opened, I had my doubts, I mean I have been burnt before if you know what I mean, but still I gave them a try and I don't regret it at all. Their food is just amazing!!!! Very traditional, I have never eaten real street tacos here in the USA until I came here, their tortillas are like back in the motherland, you cannot find better Mexican food than in this place. You won't regret driving all this way, it's absolutely worth it, my favorite are the tacos and the Tortas, if I could I would eat here every day.

    Good, quick fast Mexican. Had the tamales and they were a little dry. Were also out of one item that we wanted. Overall pretty good place.

    Food was amazing and great service. Great atmosphere. It's a little loud and hard to converse but…read moreall in all great experience.

    This was our first trip to Azul Cantina, and honestly it's got me mad we don't live closer because…read morethe food was fantastic. We showed up a few minutes before they even opened. We'd read enough good things that we weren't about to risk a long wait, so we played it safe. Ended up being the second group seated. The manager who sat us wasn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Led us to the table, dropped the menus, and walked off with no greeting at all. We were the only table inside and still sat there for a solid 8 minutes before anyone came over for drinks. We were about 5 more minutes from leaving before our server showed up. Thankfully she was attentive, and genuinely friendly. It turned our moods around very quickly. We started with drinks and the Elote Ribs. The drinks were perfect and those Elote Ribs were a great way to start our meal. For mains I went with the Birria tacos and my wife got the chicken fajitas. The Birria tacos were amazing! The meat was incredibly tender, full of flavor, and the rice that came with it was seasoned perfectly. It would be hard for me to order anything else there because that's how much I liked them. The chicken fajitas were just as good. The chicken was cooked right and seasoned well, and came with that same rice as my tacos.
