Wow!!! It’s like a drive in for Mexican food! Awesome vibe! The staff are amazing people! The food here is great! They are among my top two places for tacos. We tried the lunch chimi, birria tacos, and al pastor. We tried their Horchata as well. We got all this under $40. The wait for our food was next to nothing and they were so helpful. The salsa roja is my favorite. The also make habanero salsa but haven’t had the habaneros in a long time to make it. Their menu is packed with variety and flavor and they are always adding new items! This is great summer spot for the family or a date night with your loved one. It’s all take out or to go where you eat in your car like a sonic, but there are booths and tables out side under the shelter or with umbrellas over top. They even have a drive thru option as well. I recommend this for a good time, great eat, and affordable alternative for wonderful grub.

Wife loved it, but if you are one of those picky eaters like I am, this place does put peppers and stuff in their chicken. Drive thru was closed when we went. Soda tasted kinda funky. Chips and salsa were decent.

One of the best Taco places around! Man…the tacos here *carnitas especially* are delicious. I ordered extra chips and the young boy gave me so many sauces as a bonus! Family owned, fresh food. The French fries are yummy too! I crave their food. Do yourself a favor and check them out next time you’re driving by

The food was not that great. The enchiladas were dry flavorless and the wings were drenched in so much Buffalo sauce that it chocked me. There was not any flavor in any of the food and the chicken tacos were my least favorite thing.

this is the best Mexican food we’ve tried in Knox so far! We picked up take out food and it was so fresh! I got a pork burrito and that was the best, juiciest pork I’ve had! 10/10 recommend!!!

Mind blown, so bomb!!! Born and raised in Central California, moved to Knoxville a year ago. We’ve been searching for really good authentic Mexican food for a year, and this awesome hole in the wall DELIVERED! We had asada street tacos and added sour cream and SHREDDED cheese (gtfo with the queso stuff). The corn tortillas were so fresh, you could tell they were handmade. The asada was seasoned to perfection, and the variety of mild, medium, and spicy salsa was great and so tasty! Service was friendly and fast. Should have taken a photo of our food, but we smashed it so fast. Can’t wait to go back!

This has become my ‘go to’ Mexican place. Orders have been correct, portions are great. Staff has been very nice and service has been quick.

This place is my jam. Delicious Mexican food with a drive thru? Yes! It’s an old Sonic drive in so you can either go to the window and order and wait in a stall or you can go through the drive thru and order and wait in a stall. They bring it out fast and man, it’s piping hot and delicious! Great staff and food!

So I got the aero con pollo which is $13 plus tax just to receive my food with barely anything in it. The cheese that I seen in a previous review was cheesy and beautiful mines was dry, rarely had cheese and small portions. It’s like they threw it in the container. The chicken had no flavor got fries opened it and wasn’t a lot. Maybe this was a bad night but I will never return. Wouldn’t recommend tacos were dry and shells tasted awful as well.
