Worst Mex food restaurant of any kind. I've eaten at several hundred Mexican food spots in several states - cheap, expensive, taco stands, dives, family restaurants, party spots - this one had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The menu: there's about a hundred things listen on the menu, but it's just three or four foods, different variations. Why? My friend and I got a few tacos and a couple enchiladas. The meal was about a step below taco bell - little flavor, stale, cheap cheese. Yuck! Taco bell is disgusting, but it's cheaper and faster than this spot.

The positive side, it was clean, the waitress was very sweet, the prices were right & the food came out quick. My dining partners thought that the margarita was good & the $4 32oz beer was nice & cold. The salsa was good too. It might have been homemade but I wouldn't bet a nut on it. Now for the letdown; the food. I had a combo plate, #21, consisting of a taco, chili relleno & tamal. Everybody thought I was being sophisticated when I asked what the chili was stuffed w/? I was told hamburger. This is what I got; roughly 10% of a poblano pepper, & I mean just a sliver, covered w/ browned ground beef & cheeze. The taco was as almost w/o flavor. Ground beef in a soft corn torilla (which I am sure was not homemade) a pinch of nondescript white cheeze & lettuce. The tamal, I was told was made the prior evening. I assumed the waitress meant handmade the day before so I threw caution to the wind. I believe what she meant was that the can was opened, the tamale was removed & plated w/ a crumble of ground beef & a smear of salsa rojo & heated the evening before, covered, placed in the refer overnight & served to me now after a brief exposure to microwave rays. There was nothing redeeming about the orange rice & the frijoles referrito was heated up right out of the can. This place is right up the alley for a person who hasn't had real mexican cooking. Kind of a dis-service to those Mexican guys & gals who put their heart into their cooking. This place isn't it.

Tasteless, bland, Mexican food. The only item on the menu that's any good- and I mean, stands-in-stark-contrast-to-the-rest-of-the-menu-GOOD is El Burro de la Carretta. If you order this be prepared to get a to-go box or share! Other than that one dish, bleh. And bathrooms are almost always in desperate need of cleaning.

When in Kingsport I always go to this restaurant. In the past I went with a few coworkers and ordered a drink or two. I always remembered the food to be pretty great! I went last night with another coworker and bragged about this place. Well, sadly, without the alcohol it wasn't the same. Lol. I had the rojo chicken and a beef taco. While the chicken was cooked okay, it didn't have much flavor and the beef taco tasted bland. Now, all this was fixed by added hot sauce and salsa but I think the taste should stand out on its own and not be masked by condiments. The service and atmosphere has changed a lot too. This change was for the better no more weird neon interior mood lighting. It's now bright and very VERY clean looking. The service staff seemed to be attentive and friendly when you had questions. Overall a honest 2/5.

I was traveling I-81 and had a severe Mexican food jones going on. I exited at Kingsport thinking that there HAD to be a decent Mexican place nearby. I saw the two previous reviews but, when there are only a limited number of reviews for an establishment, I generally take them with a grain of salt. Also, there were a lot of cars in the parking lot so I figured, "How bad can it be?" Well, the answer is, "Pretty bad." I was only slightly more impressed than the previous two reviewers so I gave them two stars rather than one. It wasn't THAT bad but it sure wasn't that good. The chips & salsa - generally the first chance that a Mexican restaurant has to dazzle you (or not) - were OK but totally uninspiring. I forget what kind of burrito I had but it included shredded beef. I was unable to find anything on the menu that wasn't covered in cheese sauce. This one had it, also. I guess it is a good thing that the sauce was watery so it slid off the burrito itself. I was glad that they give you a big bowl of salsa with your chips since I was able to drown the burrito with salsa which helped tremendously. All-in-all, edible but not that much more. The service was only marginally better. Not unfriendly but certainly not attentive. No one came by during the course of my meal to ask how it was (not sure that I would have been honest anyway). So if you find YOURself cruising up or down I-81 with a Mexican food jones, find another place. Don't be fooled by the crowded parking lot.
