Mo S.

These are not your average tacos! Seasoned to perfection with unique pairings. Restaurant is clean, bathrooms were clean and smelled good. Staff was friendly. Full service bar, a variety of cocktails and drafts. Indoor and outdoor seating. Visiting from NC and I highly recommend.

These French fries were so delicious. Made to order very fresh. I am so glad I got to try them. The service was excellent. The ambiance is great. The restaurant is very Perry's with lots of drinks on tab. The only down side would be the bathrooms they were both men and women not cleaned but that would be the only downside.

#5 was great.  Mom enjoyed her #6.

Great tacos and authentic atmosphere! Ending was super nice as well. Casual too. I will return here.

#16 Thai Chile Shrimp #6 Carne Asada Chimichurri

It's decent food wants to be great but falls short steak was chewy and had zero flavor the toppings were fresh but I expected more from a chimichurri sauce. The lobster was ok Thai chile had no chile flavor. It could be really good just missing the mark by a little bit specially for6 dollars plus per taco. We tried to get onions rings but they had been out for a week. Nobody can cut onions I guess

I will say Taco Ranch hit the spot, when my little requested tacos for dinner after our long ride, Taco Ranch was high on the option list. The establishment was clean, they were constantly cleaning the tables as patrons left making sure everyone had somewhere to sit. The staff was nice at checkout and they offer a military discount. The food was ok, not bad but nothing fantastic. Hit the spot so I'd say worth a try. Everything was made from scratch, including the tortillas, which we watch be made. The CARNE ASADA CHIMICHURRI tortillas had a grainy texture so I wasn't a huge fan of that but the rest was good. The buffalo boneless chicken wings were good, the fries were meh. Even though they were seasoned they were either cooked too long or were sitting there too long because they were tough. Did not like. Their Elote was AMAZING, I ate two myself. The nachos were just basic nachos, I did feel like the meat was watered down but my little was happy and ate half the serving they gave, and that was HUGE. She did ask for it to be customized to what she wanted and they were super accommodating. Overall we were satisfied with our meals.

We had a party of ten, so experiences were mixed--some loved it, some not so much. Popular picks at the table were the chips and queso, elote, and the #1 taco. I don't eat gluten or dairy, which turned out to be an issue. Taco spots are usually a safe bet, but not here. The staff understood the dairy restriction and clearly marked the ticket; I even heard the kitchen call it out. That said, most of the sauces appear to be dairy-based, so I ended up with dry tacos. Gluten was more problematic. Despite explaining multiple times that this is not a preference, one taco still arrived with pita pieces on it. If cross-contamination matters to you, I'd recommend skipping this place. We visited on a Saturday night. The restaurant was steady with a live band, but it was loud enough that conversation at the table was difficult.

Super cute place on the strip. I love tacos, and these were not bad. At $6 plus each, my expectations were high. There is a good portion of protein, which I appreciated, but the snapper taco was fishy. I couldn't finish it. The Pig and Fig had a lot of promise, but in the end, too much going on. The flavors were muddled. The churro donut holes were a great finish. Service was efficient and friendly.

Loaded Nachos
Jessica S.

I haven't written a review in a while, but this place deserved it. We stopped here for lunch today and I took one bite of my taco and immediately said "this is the best taco I've ever had in my entire life!" I had the Avocado Taco and we also ordered two more. Lunch was so good we ended up also door-dashing the Loaded Nachos, Boneless Chicken Wings and Pepperjack and Chive Tots for dinner instead of eating our hotel restaurant food. I only remembered to take photos after we started eating it was that good. If you LOVE tacos, I 100% recommend.

Kids Chicken & Cheese Quesadilla Meal
Heather S.

Taco Ranch.... What are yall doing in the back this is fire!!! Note: 2 tacos will fill you up. We picked 3 different kinds of tacos and the Kids Chicken Quesadillas. 1. Frikka Tikka chicken - this is a chicken taco with an Indian curry vibe this one was by far one of the best! 5 out of 5 2. Snapper taco - not that good 3 and 1/2 out of 5 3. Soul Sister Chicken Tacos - it is a Korean fried chicken tender quite spicy but well worth it. Has a ton of sauce. 4 out of 5 4. Kids Chicken Quesadillas - heavy on the pulled chicken and has fries but very good! 4 out of 5 5. Pink Lemonade - was like the pink starburst but lemonade! 5 out of 5 Service: this is our first time going here and the person at the register was super nice and helped us pick good options and making sure we didn't over order. The tacos are big! And the lady that brought us our food was so friendly and welcoming. Would be happy to come back! 5 out of 5 Bathrooms: I was quite happy and shocked at how clean the restrooms were! 5 out of 5 Over all this is traditional tacos remade but better and not in the to much area but was well done and opened a new window of Mexican food and how it can be mixed in so many unique ways! 5 out of 5 over ALL!

This was our first time eating here, and we'll definitely be back! We tried two different tacos, nachos, waffle fries, and wings--all were delicious. My personal favorite was the nachos with chimichurri sauce--so good! Vanessa was so sweet and attentive, making sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed! The atmosphere was relaxed, clean, and they were playing fantastic music!! Highly recommend checking this place out!

We wanted to like this place... but gosh it was not good. If we hadn't gotten the loaded waffle fries, we would have left hungry. Seoul Sister Chicken tasted nothing like Korean bbq and there was no kimchi on it. Was really looking forward to it. Bummer. The carne asada chimichurri was tough to eat. The meat was chewy. Going off looks, it's a 5. Going off taste.... It's a 1 for the tacos and a 2 for the fries ‍

Onion rings
Bob S.

Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for a roller coaster ride of flavors. We started off with the onion rings and gochujang queso. The queso was AMAZING! The onion rings were good, and the chimi-ranch and harissa ketchup were very good. We tried an assortment of tacos and have narrowed it down to our favorites which were the buffalo chicken, pig and the fig and the Seoul sister. The favorites came about because we thought they were the most flavorful and had the best balance of flavors. The food is freshly prepared and they make their own corn tortillas fresh which is hard to find these days and it makes all the difference. We're here for the weekend but might have to come back for a second meal, it was that good.

We had the carnitas taco, Baja mahi taco, shrimp taco, brisket taco and the enchilada trio. Rice was good- beans were spicy. Refried beans not as spicy so that's an option.

We ordered the gorilla sticks. They were okay, but I'd probably skip those next time. I got the taco plate with a birria taco and consomé, carnitas taco, and roasted chicken taco. The carnitas and chicken tacos were really good. I'd definitely skip the birria though. It wasn't traditional birria, and the consomé was just gross. It had this weird sweet flavor, and consomé definitely shouldn't taste sweet. My daughter got the chicken enchiladas and ate them up, but she didn't like the rice or beans. I got the charro beans and she had the refried beans, and both of them tasted like beer to us. They were gross and neither of us ate them. The chips and salsa were really good though, and we actually got an order to go. Everything came out really quickly too, which was nice. I'd come back for the tacos and chips and salsa, but I'd definitely order different sides next time.

I love meatloaf and most of the time if that is on the menu that's what I order, so I eaten a lot of different meatloaf from other well established restaurants. But let me tell you that I have NEVER ate a meatloaf this scrumptious before. The Bison Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and caramelized onions and crispy fried onions on top 5 stars. There is only 2 Local Goat restaurants and they are both in TN. Please bring one to NC. As for the service it was excellent, very professional from start to finnish. Sercice could not have been better 5 stars again. Ambiance of the dinning room was awesome 5 stars again. I believe in tipping my waiter and usually tip more than most. But I can say with out a doubt I left the biggest tip I have ever left at restaurant at the Local Goat in Pigeon Forge TN.
