So much food for the price you pay. Service was incredible. Be careful if you are planning to go for dinner because the place fills up fast and the parking lot is very small. All their food tasted great and it came to our table very fast. Their lunch special menu is incredible for getting the fajitas and all the toppings with it.

Visited Pogeon Forge and ate here 2 days in a row. The server was attentive to my vegan husband and very sweet to my children. Food was delicious and extremely reasonable. If we lived close by, I would be a regular.

We left Parrot Mountain, headed back to our hotel and spotted it. I immediately yelled for my husband to stop. I'm somewhat of a Mexican food snob. This place was great - must be a local stop. Homemade tamales and fresh pina aguas frescas were amazing! I hate touristy places, so this was for sure my favorite restaurant of the weekend. Will be on my list next visit. Great service and atmosphere. Clean bathrooms!

TLDR: Delicious, flavorful, and affordable food with large portions and welcoming, efficient employees. Beer is served, no mixed drinks. Excellent food and customer service! We stopped here on Cinco de Mayo expecting a long wait. The parking lot was full and we found a spot in the back. Several people were waiting for tables. An efficient, fast moving employee greeted us and informed us that our table would be ready in about 10 minutes. About 5 minutes later we were seated. Soon after we were greeted by our waitress. She was also friendly and efficient. We received chips, salsa, drinks, extra chips, and entrees quickly. Our drinks were refilled and dirty dishes removed often. Even in the fast-paced environment, we never felt rushed. Only beer was available regarding alcoholic drinks which was fine. We enjoyed each of our entrees. The portions were large, prices affordable, and entrees flavorful. The restaurant was loud and decorated for Cinco De Mayo. Overall, we had a great meal and recommend this restaurant to others!
