The food here is great! I had the fajita burrito and my some had the pineapple fajita. Both were full of flavor and filling. Jose, our waiter was very nice and kept our water and chips filled. There’s plenty on the menu to satisfy everyone. I’m excited to try one of their vegetarian options. I’m so glad to have this wonderful restaurant on the west side. We will definitely go back.

Five stars for opening a new restaurant on the west end of Oak Ridge. They soft-opened on 16-JUL. Staff was very friendly and efficient. We had the guacamole, steak burrito and enchiladas San Miguel. Everything was very good! Handicap parking next to the door and a ramp. Great place for a casual dinner! Park in the back of the restaurant, there's some complication with Four Oaks shopping center that is restricting their parking.

YOU NEED TO GO HERE. This brand-new restaurant cooks like they’ve been doing it for years. Reasonably priced and portioned, incredibly flavorful and VERY UNIQUE flavor profile for their dishes. Tamales had a smoky and hot flavoring that was amazing. Do not let the fact that this place is new drive you away. Will definitely be back

I had tMolcajete Guacamole, and Pollo Cordoba, which is grilled chicken breast with mushrooms, spinach and cheese sauce. It is served with tortillas )corn or flour), beans and rice. Absolutely delicious! Good service too!

The food here was great, especially the guacamole molcajete! Everything was fresh, delicious and the restaurant was really clean. One previous commenter said the food was greasy but that wasn’t the case for us at all. In fact we’ve eaten at many Mexican restaurant in Oak Ridge and this one is one of the better ones. The only problem is the four oaks center located right next to them, they won’t let them use any of the parking spaces next to their restaurant which is completely ridiculous because that shopping center is completely dead and could use the business from the restaurant!
