Anne MaykaSeptember 6, 2013Love the guacamole, the salsa verde with a hint of pineapple is very special too! Best Mexican food I ever had! Will be coming back!
Lauren BatesDecember 31, 2019I like the three different salsas they bring out when you sit down. I also liked my avocado and spinach enchiladas, respectively.
DavidAugust 19, 2012Best Fajitas in Knoxville! But get the Papas (mashed potatoes) as a substitute for the charro beans...

Peggy FainDecember 16, 2012The service was excellent. Try this spinach side it is absolutely wonderful.- Fajita nachos are amazing! Best iced tea in town, too;)
- Katie KayeAugust 16, 2018Food is good. Didn't enjoy waiting with our 3 yr old grandson for 20 minutes and the gal at the desk after the manager came over took the people that came in 10 minutes after us. Won't be back
Jordan the bartender makes the BEST margaritas...ask him to add some chambord to it too...and ladies, he's hot too!
I constantly find hair in my food at this place. Never going back.
