Disappointed I've dined at both locations many times. Service and food have always been consistently good...until today. I got my usual, #4, but was very disappointed. All of it had very odd flavors, like they used stale ingredients. Although hungry, I didn't finish anything. The service was poor, too. My server never checked on me and I had to eventually wave her down to get a drink refill. I'll give them another chance bc I'm hoping today was just a bad day for them. read more

Ugh I'm so disappointed I used to love this place... I placed an order for chips and queso and it was $30? That would be fine if it came with a good amount of queso but is literally a container 80% full.... I've never left a review on anything but times are rough and the service wasn't very great either, he wouldn't go get his manager and the first person was just looking at me like I threw it at them or something... I simply was asking why it's so expensive as I could've went some where else and got queso, salsa, and a meal.. I've also gotten this exact order before and it was no more than $15! read more

Soccer Taco - This is the salsa and queso, nothing wrong other than both are a large and one is literally tiny... - Mexican Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Flimsy to go boxes!! Poor to little food quality (if ordered to go). No taco Tuesday specials sadly. Expensive meals compared to the servings given (it varies though which is disappointing and keeps you on your toes for a person that is budgeting and choosing this place for their meals on a monthly bases) read more

GREAT PLACE TO TAKE YOUR TEAM AFTER A GAME! They accommodated our group of 35. The atmosphere was a mix of sports bar and Mexican restaurant. Our servers were very polite and patient in dealing with our large group. Everyone enjoyed their meals. read more

Great food, service is horrible! Went in on Saturday too busy, came back on Monday, two tables occupied and still very unfriendly staff. Visiting from Florida and will not come back. Nevertheless left a bad review but this was ridiculous. Market square restaurant. read more

I recently attended a conference in Knoxville and had an opportunity to dine at Soccer Tacos on more than one occasion. I ordered tacos as a combo plus Pollo asado the next day. Both of these meals were pretty good, although they certainly don't stand out as excellent Mexican cuisine by any standard. The price was right and the food was filling. The service was attentive and prompt, which is always a good thing. I would eat here again, although I'm not sure when I'll be back in Knoxville. You really can't beat the convenience and service. read more

We decided to have an early Mexican lunch at Soccer Taco (Bearden). The staff were all busy getting the restaurant ready for their lunch rush when we entered. We were promptly greeted, seated and brought chips with salsa. Our server, Diego, was super helpful with our menu questions. I had a pablano pepper stuffed with beef and cheese and a carnitas street taco. The stuffed pepper was delicious with lots of meat and a nice red sauce. The pork in my street taco was tender and juice. As an added treat, Diego brought me some habanero sauce which was hot and added a kick that I loved. My wife had some fajitas with cheese sauce which were also great. Great lunch with great service! read more

When in town visiting my brother he recommended Soccer Taco for lunch. He's a frequent visitor and said the food was delicious. I live in Northern California and have access to delicious and authentic Mexican food so am always a little skeptical trying a new spot. I had two street tacos - Al pastor and beef cheek (cachete). Typically al pastor is my favorite, the cachete blew me away! It was my first time having beef cheek. So flavorful and so super tender. I would highly recommend trying. The house chips and salsa were perfect. I had a delicious premium margarita to accompany lunch. Service at the bar was extremely efficient and friendly. Nice atmosphere and great variety of food to choose from. I'd go back again next time I'm in the area. read more

This is my 2nd visit to this location. The 1st time the food was ok, the service was poor. The second time, 6/14/25 the service was poor and the food was poor. I've been to the market square location, exact opposite experience. I wouldn't recommend THIS location. read more

My family and I come here when we need our Mexican craving. There are lots of TVs to watch the games and the food comes out at record times. They also have indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather ! read more

Solid 3.5 / 5. This has been a lunch go-to spot for me and my work friends for a long time. The food and drinks are always great, and the staff is always quick to bring whatever is needed! It has been mostly clean in the restaurant and outside, though the poor bathroom could stand for an up haul at some point. read more

The shrimp quesadilla is one of the best things on the menu (in my opinion)! Service is always friendly and polite - the bearden hill location is my favorite of the three! Only downside is the small parking lot. read more

DO NOT buy margaritas at this location, they DO NOT put tequila in the drinks, it's all mix, you won't even get a buzz, what you DO get, is RIPPED OFF. It's called legalized theft. Food was good, restaurant is to small, over crowded, and can barely hear your parties conversation. read more

Soccer taco is a great place to hang out have a couple margaritas and eat good tacos. Best taco establishment in the bearden area!

Soccer Taco - Beef Taco Salad - Mexican Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I WAS an avid Soccer Taco customer. Within the last 3 years I have probably eaten there 50 times. BUT August 22, 2023, everything changed... A COCKROACH FELL FROM THE CEILING ONTO OUR TABLE WITH FOOD. The group of five women I was with, obviously freaked out. One of the workers had the AUDACITY to be extremely rude and tell us to calm down and sit back down. Our kind server then moved all of our food to another table, then brought us another cheese dip, but still charged us for the cheese dip we already got. I am truly disappointed that we did not get ANYTHING comped and a worker was extremely rude. NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN. read more

Soccer Taco is great! The service was amazing even on a busy summer night. The drink prices are very reasonable- especially the price of a pitcher. Great food and so many options! read more

The place was happening, the parking lot was full, and all the tables were filled up. We ordered takeout, as we got the soccer burrito and a taco salad. Sadly, the food was underwhelming. Not very flavorful. Perhaps if we had dined in, and had more access to all the fun sauces and accoutrements? read more

I really like the outdoor patio area for hanging out and enjoying Mexican fare. The view isn't the best, since you just watch cats going down Kingston Pike, but the patio is far better than eating inside. The food is decent. It is standard Mexican food with no real twists or anything to set it apart. I recommend the cheesesteak quesadillas or fajitas. You'll be happy when it's time to cash out as there is a lot of value for the money. read more

The food was cooked well and service was fine but when it comes to price to flavor ratio it's very poor. $4 per taco is insane considering they don't even use salt and pepper. I got the Sopes and the tortilla was not crispy at all. The chicken was extremely bland which somehow made the lettuce flavor standout. The beans were DOA too. I wouldn't recommend at all. read more

Delicious! Had the fajita quesadilla and lived it! Quick service too! Really enjoyed!

As of January 14th Soccer Taco is not serving liquor. Undisclosed reason. Sign was hand written taped to the door.

Every time I'm here the portion gets smaller...this is $13??? I would have rather a refund honestly. read more

Soccer Taco is the only Mexican Restaurant that gives you, a huge tin of chips with dip. My two son's love their big league fajitas, with steak and chicken. If you need an extra flour tortilla for your fajitas, they will charge you extra. Our server was Garcia H, he made sure our table had great food and drinks. read more

Okay Mexican in Knoxville. I prefer the location on Kingston Pike more. Good service and specials.

Soccer Taco is a great Mexican spot that has remained consistent throughout the years. The staff is always friendly and the food is tasty. I really enjoy coming here for lunch because it's fast and affordable. I've enjoyed everything that I've ordered here and I have nothing negative to say about this place. It's a great spot to hit up with friends to watch a sports game and enjoy good food and margaritas! read more

Soccer Taco - The #6 lunch combo- chalupa, enchilada, rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Ordered online and paid. When I got to the restaurant I asked for the order and the hostess left for 15 minutes to look for it. The manager came out 5 minutes later to tell me they had no record of the order. After pulling up the email, the manager took my order again. Waited 20 more minutes for the order. Manager finally brought the order to me and told me and another customer not to order online anymore. Their website works for accepting payments but does not place orders. read more

Love the Kingston Pike Soccer Taco! These folks are our Knox Co family when we are in Knoxville. Arroz con Pollo, Carnitas and grilled nachos for the table family style is our go to. We love the charro beans as the side. Tortillas are always fresh. Good selection of Mexican beer on draft. Prices are right. Food is consistent. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. Frequent flier hack - if the parking lot is full, you can enter the strip mall to the west and park behind Soccer Taco. They have stairs up to the back of the upper parking lot. Covid-19 - the staff is not masked. They do have outdoor seating with fans. read more

We went here on Cinco de Mayo, food was good, pitcher of margaritas was good, however, NO specials were offered at all! Did I miss something or is CdM a Hispanic holiday? Just thought it was a little unusual, times must be tougher than I realized! read more

Good choice for National Taco Day. Was hanging out with friends there. Tortilla chips are good, wish they have more choices of dip. I got a chicken something and it came with 3 warm tortillas, roasted chicken, guacamole, rice, lettuce and tomato. Pretty good casual food. Although you don't need to wait in line but there were a lot of people, on a Thursday night. Ambience is ok for the environment. Lots of TVs so that people can watch games. Only thing I felt like a bummer is the service. The woman was quick but seemed like not really want spend time on us while we were ordering. read more

Good size portions. Buffalo wings were a little too hot but food was good overall. Only one restroom per gender, which wasn't convenient.

Ordered online for takeout today and had a positive experience. I ordered street tacos, 1 pastor and 1 cachete for $2.79 each. The tacos turned out to be pretty big, and they came with a big bag of chips and a cup of salsa, as well as a spicy salsa, lime, cilabi, and onions for the tacos on the side. I feel like it was a great value and it was very tasty. I wish it was possible to add more thing to your online order. I'd gladly pay extra for a second cup of salsa, or to get some rice and beans on the side. read more

We came in with a party of 8 over graduation weekend. The service was poor, slow and inaccurate. I will say the spicy margarita is very good, but everything else was underwhelming. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant to go too. Working at the medical center we usually use them alot for functions with work colleagues and it is always perfect for big groups or parties to order the catering and it's cheap and delicious! The hurrachas are fantastic I like the chorizo and the lengua. The beer is always freezing cold and the have very nice happy hour selection and tequila specials I love this restaurant and the owners are very friendly always find a reason to come here have a margarita and eat very dog and family friendly also with their outdoor seating read more
