    #16 Thai Chile Shrimp #6 Carne Asada Chimichurri
    Chris S.

    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

    #5 was great.  Mom enjoyed her #6.

    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.

    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.

    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 place has got to have the most vague menu I have ever seen in my entire life. You almost have no clue what you're ordering. I also can't believe the prices. $6-$8 for a single tiny taco on a 6-8 inch tortilla, not including the price of your drink or fries. Want chips and salsa? Forget about it! They don't have chips and salsa. At a taco place? Weird. And to top it off, the food was 6/10 at best. Just another generic food joint with mediocre options spiced up with a "trendy" vibe. Overall, I will never be coming back. Very unsatisfied. Should have went to firehouse subs next door.

    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 ‍

    Great food Fast service. Real Mexican food. Nice original Mexican atmosphere. Probably the best in…read moretown.

    I really wanted to enjoy our visit to Cielito Lindo in Pigeon Forge, but unfortunately the customer…read moreservice overshadowed what was otherwise good food. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. The hostess seated us at a table that clearly wasn't large enough for our party, and when we politely asked if we could move to a table that actually fit us, she seemed visibly irritated. That was not a great first impression. Things didn't improve from there. Our waiter, Eliezer, didn't even come to our table to take our order. Instead, he stood over at the kiosk and called out to us asking what we wanted to eat, almost like a hog-calling contest across the restaurant. It honestly felt disrespectful and impersonal. What made it even more frustrating was watching him walk over to other tables and take their orders normally. We couldn't help but wonder why we were treated differently. The food itself was actually very good. The fajitas were flavorful, arrived quickly, and were one of the highlights of the meal. However, when they were served, I wasn't given an extra plate. I had to ask multiple times before one was finally brought over. I wasn't sure if I was expected to assemble my tortillas on my lap. The one bright spot of our visit was Alex, who was bussing tables. He was genuinely kind, attentive, and treated us with respect. His friendliness stood out and was honestly the best part of our experience. Thank you, Alex, for showing us the level of hospitality we expected from the beginning. Great food can only carry a restaurant so far. Service matters, and feeling welcomed matters even more. While the food was flavorful and arrived promptly, the way we were treated left a lasting negative impression. We won't be returning, and I truly hope management addresses the customer service issues because the kitchen is doing its part--the front-of-house staff needs to do theirs.
