Rice was to mushy, food had no taste, beans to thin, salsa hot, and thin.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I have to visit every time I visit Pigeon Forge. The food is always and service is always amazing.

Lovely place with some really great highlights, but some key let downs.

Pros:
- Attentive and friendly staff who seated us quickly and served us with smiles and politeness the entire time. They were lovely.
- The vibe and decor are nice and bright.
- The chicken soup and salsa were so tasty! I'd have been happy just eating the chips and dip all night. It was lightly spiced and was perfectly seasoned.
- The menu has a good selection, I'm always a fan of a place with taquitos on the menu as it's not common where I'm from.
- Great location and easy to get to.

Cons:
- I hate to say it, but the marg was the worst drink I think I've ever had. I couldn't finish it, and that's saying something. It had a weird thickness to it and was evidently made with a hefty amount of artificial peach syrup which made it truly undrinkable. We tried quickly drinking half of it to avoid the taste and topped up the glass with water. With half the glass full of water it was the right viscosity, but obviously the taste wasn't great - still more drinkable than it came though. I'd recommend either changing the brand of fruit puree you use or using a third as much.
- The nachos would have been great, but unfortunately the white cheese sauce had the consistency of water. Since all the chips on the bottom were sat in it, they became a soggy mess within 5 minutes of them arriving on the table. If you swapped the thickness of the cheese with the marg and vice versa - it would have been perfect 🫣

I'd eat here again for the staff and to try the taquitos, and see if we just got unlucky with the food and margs when we went.

Food was very good and came out quick. This is definitely a great little food hole in the wall place you don’t want to skip out on. I’m only giving it 4 stars bc the rice was a bit hard and they didn’t have cheese dip without jalapeño. Every Mexican restaurant typically has and should have both options available: with and without jalapeños.

Everything was great. Service was fast. Food was great and fresh. Everything was season well. Everything was hot.

The server didn't check on us enough. I wanted another drink. But he didn't come back until was done eating.

We went here to eat based on a article on best restaurants by a local. I am so glad that we did! It is somewhat of a hole-in-the wall but man the food is delicious! We didn't have any wait, the food came out very quick and piping hot. We had the same server both times we ate here. He was so nice and provided great service. I highly recommend giving this place a visit!
