Zalate did *not* disappoint! The street corn, queso, chips, and fries were all absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The blackberry margarita was so refreshing and hit the spot. We had apps, sides, drinks, and even a refill of chips and salsa for two people, and it all came to just \\$60 before tip. Incredible value for such great quality. Our waiter was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful! Food was flavorful, drinks were delicious, and the service was outstanding! We loved our server Eduardo. He was attentive and polite. Would recommend to friends and family, and will definitely be returning!

Southern California Mexican food snob here. This is only 1 of 2 Mexican food places I will ever recommend in East Tennessee. I’ve been here at least 30 times in the past 2 years. I’ve also tried at least 15 other Mexican restaurants in East TN, they ALL suck except for Zalate and one other.

Only complaint is that it’s the first sit-down Mexican restaurant I’v ever been to that doesn’t provide complimentary chips and salsa.
