We absolutely love the food here. Best Mexican restaurant in Blountville or Bristol, that we've been to. With the lunch menu and sweet tea we paid about 25% less than our other favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The taco bar looked great but we...Read More

Delicious. Always super friendly, fresh and amazing food. Generous portions and reasonable pricing. We've been 3x so far and not been disappointed. The taco bar is amazing, as is the Trio ACP (photoed). We will be back.
