Mexican Restaurants near Newport

“This place is a true local gem! The Hawaiian burrito blew me away - the best I’ve ever had, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory, grilled to perfection, and full of flavor. The guava margarita was sweet yet really refreshing, and the cheesecake chimichanga was crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy filling. Plus, the service was top-notch. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Who Knew! The best and biggest raw oysters in East Tennessee are found at this excellent Mexican restaurant located just off I 40 in Newport TN. Just a short trip from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. After traveling miles to bigger cities in search of some good oysters we found that they were located in our own back yard. The Mexican food is just as amazing! We watched the owners, Guadalupe and Pedro, going back and forth to the kitchen checking each plate that came out for perfection. Our waitress Josseline was exceptional, always with a smile on her face making sure our dinning experience was the best. We like certain additions to our oysters like horse radish, lemon and tobasco sauce which we always bring with us. Come and enjoy!! Wow the shrimp cocktail is like none other I have ever had!! Wow!!“

“We had takeout 🥡 and it was so good. Thank you. We will be back.“

“The food is good, its always been hot but the wait is long. If going through the drive thru, they have a tendency to hold you at the menu. I can only assume they are trying to lower their drive thu times or something with staffing being low.“

“Toro Mexican Grill in White Pine really hit the spot! I had the Chili Colorado because I was craving something with a little spice, and it was absolutely perfect—flavorful, hearty, and satisfying. My wife ordered the Chicken Santa Fe and loved every bite.

The salsa was fresh, chunky, and amazing—easily some of the best we’ve had anywhere. The service was quick and friendly, and the whole experience made for a fantastic meal. We’ll definitely be back!“
