Excellent food. I love the flavors on both the regulars and the specials. For gluten-free, we get burgers on a bed of fries. The service is consistent and the fries are delicious. It is so easy to sit outside with kids while they play. Perfect Friday might choice.

Great food made especially good!

The Groom Room Pet Salon

So delicious! The burger looked small,but was super filling and much depth to the flavors. The sokno tacos were amazing especially with the house Gato hot sauce with a curry taste.
Get it if you can!

Concise menu that rotates frequently and showcases expertise in ingredient usage. Housemade hot sauces with homegrown peppers, too. Not just one of the best food trucks around, but one of the best places to get quality food in town.

Used to come to Trailhead for the vibe and good folks, now I come for the great food too. The smash burgers are crispy on the outside and perfectly greasy in the middle. The fries are expertly fried and crispy every single time. Mac n cheese has been griddled and served as a delicious, gooey and crispy omelet that you can top with whatever rotating protein or theme of the week (BBQ pork, shawarma chicken, etc).

You won't be disappointed!

Simply put El Gato Peligroso is the best food truck in South Knox and some of the best food around! You will know from the first bite that what’s served up here has the freshest ingredients and is prepared in an expert manner.

Another bonus is that the menu rotates periodically, and the menu is a fun mix of street food with different ethnic influences. El Gato Peligroso is an essential stop in South Knox it’s seriously great!!

The culinary range of this food truck is simply unmatched. Another one in Knoxville simply does not exist. The burgers are also the best in town.

We had the taco special, the banh mi sandwich special and the soup and they were all delicious. Everything was well seasoned. The pork in the banh mi was exceptional.

Consistently phenomenal burgers of the week along with random weekly specials ranging from a Chicago Beef sandwich to viener schnitzel. Jackson also catered our baby shower and was super easy to work with.

A gem of food truck! The halloumi tacos were incredibly delicious. Fresh ingredients and creative flavor combinations. Love that they keep the menu rotating weekly. Highly recommend pairing a stop here with a cold one from Trailhead Beer Market. Patio has one of the best vibes in Knoxville.

Hands down the best burgers in Knoxville, along with whatever else Alex decides to whip up each week. Some of the best food I’ve had, at a good price, in a laid back atmosphere.

A must hidden gem and a must go for anyone in Knoxville.
