May 2025 We had gone before to the first Tacolandia in Maynardville (near Food City) so we wanted to try this one. The food was delicious. I had the Quesadilla Rellena. The only thing was that I found the cheese in the quesadilla lacking. Oh there was cheese but not a lot. But it was still good. We will definitely be going back for sure.

Finally! I found the best Mexican food in Knoxville! Hands down the best I’ve had since moving here 3 years ago. Small place and the building doesn’t look the greatest. But the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend!

1st time eating here and won't be the last. Small hole in the restaurant with excellent food. We eat Mexican food twice a week in Jefferson City and this place blew the other out of the water. It's a must try. Very good food and service. Thank you all for such a great meal. Be back soon

Sehe (sp?) Was a fantastic server. The 3 of us had dinner here and will definitely be going back. The steak was phenomenal! We were the only ones dining inside but I'm sure it won't be that way for long! Must try !!

This restaurant has the best taco's in the great USA. I have been around the USA and have had several taco's and this place by far has the best. The burrito is amazing as well the enchiladas are great and definitely worth having. I definitely will be going back. This is the best Hispanic food I have had in years. They also have the best tamale. This restaurant is the best Mexican restaurant in town

The atmosphere was more like, we're still putting this place together. The food was excellent. They did not insult us with the salsa, as some places do. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the cheese sauce was wonderful, the rice was flavorful, and the price was more than affordable. I had the Enchiladas Doña Maria, my wife had the quesadilla relleno
