Absolutely delicious and gluten free! Everything is clearly marked and staff is knowledgeable about food allergy protocol. This has become a new favorite!
We LOVE this taco hub! This is one of the only places my husband (who is very allergic to gluten) can find hard taco shells. Laney was our server this time and was fabulous!
Everyone we’ve ever had wait on us here has been wonderful. The tacos are second to none. We LOVE love love this restaurant; it’s our favorite here! If you’re on the fence, go! Support local artists (the place is full of local art!) and delightful tacos!
I went to this restaurant on the 6/28, a Saturday. I was very careful to explain to the server, Mattie, that I have Celiac Disease and cannot digest rice. She wrote all these details on the order form. When my food came, the fajitas looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. I took a tortilla, filled it up and took a bite. I realized it was not a corn tortilla, which i specifically and clearly requested. Mattie checked and confirmed it was a flour tortilla. They removed the cost of the meal from my bill, so I paid for my granddaughter’s food and our drinks. The manager and Mattie apologized. So, here I am on Monday, 6/30 still in bed and very very sick. One bite of a flour tortilla gave me food poisoning. It is not worth the price of a free meal. I have not had food poisoning in 4 years, also at a restaurant, PF Changs. I request that all staff responsible for serving meals should have some kind of checking system to ensure a customer’s needs are seen to. Those customers with food issues should double and triple check with the server since nobody can be trusted.
If you’re looking for the best tacos in downtown Knoxville, you have to come here. Compared to Chivo and soccer taco, this is the best.
We really love the fish tacos, dip trio and the Cuban. Portion sizes are really good. Our vegetarian friends love the black bean burger. I even have gluten-free friends that can enjoy a meal here.
Their margaritas are the best downtown. I highly recommend the blood orange margarita. The atmosphere is quirky and fun, which matches their neon sign, paying homage to the name. It’s always lively, and there are some days you can catch live music. Prices are fair and good for what you’re getting. Portion size is filling.
Since they’ve come under new ownership a few years ago, it has greatly improved. Previously, I would not go here. But now it’s become one of my favorites. I have even brought out of town clients here for dinner who have enjoyed it. It is a laid-back atmosphere.
The service has always been excellent, and the staff has always been attentive. You can tell that people enjoy it there. I do recommend getting a reservation here if you are looking for outdoor seating or having a large party 6+, especially during their busy time at dinner. The patio feels quickly in the warmer months, so if you want that space get a reservation.
Their back door leads to Marble Alley’s upstairs bar, which is a great place to go after you’ve had your fill for games, or to enjoy the bowling alley.
I've used Salsarita's Catering twice, and I could not be happier. They are polite, show up when they're scheduled, do a nice job setting things up, the prices are quite reasonable, and my guests enjoy the food. The fajita bar is a great way to accommodate a wide range of food restrictions, particularly if I get some gluten-free tortillas from the grocery store (I recommend the Mission almond tortillas, as Salsarita's doesn't have any GF tortillas).
