Well there is not much to say but this is
just another typical Mexican Restaurant. The meals are different
from the other Knoxville area restaurants. The tamales, enchiladas,
burritos, chalupas, and fajiatas are all available here. The chips
and salsa are very good and the service is typically good.
Full service bar and margaritas are availalbe and don't for get the apple-pie
served in a skillet with vanilla ice cream.
Looking for a quick lunch? You can usually be in and out of here fairly quick as the lunch service is excellent, generally under 10 minutes to your table. The management has changed the look and the colors of the building to make it more appealing because of the influx of new restaurants in the area. |
