El Loco Taco Taqueria

Reviewed By glynr34 - Clintwood, Virginia

My family recently ate at the El Loco Taco Taqueria. After admiring the pics and the reviews of the Fajita,I chose the Tex Mex variety which was served in a huge black iron skillet.The food was amazing, way too much for any individual,served piping hot ,with ample meat and shrimp. This is a small establishment that is operated by a skeleton crew,handling the take-out ,which seemed to be the prevalent choice this given outing and the dine-in customers.It is truly superior to any Mexican eateries I have tried in the Tri-Cities area, however, the service was lacking in all departments.In defense of the employees, they were busy,but the gentleman that waited on the dine-in customers could have a better much more attentive to his small gallery of tables.With that being said, if your not in a hurry, and want to dine-in this is worthy of a visit.

Braeden's Barbeque

Reviewed By hootbird - Johnson City, Tennessee

Excellent local restaurant frequented by everyone from construction workers to tie people from the nearby offices. Service is fast so even with only 60 minutes for lunch you will be able to dine, visit and get back to work. Known for BBQ, but there hamburgers are great as well. Entire staff is friendly and don't be surprised if you get a hug when arriving.

Giuseppe's

Reviewed By Rosie K - Salatiga, Jawa Tengah, Indonesia

We stopped at Giuseppe's in Kingsport late one afternoon for an early dinner. I ordered a most delicious Mediterranean salad with a grilled salmon on top - marvelous! The waiter was helpful and friendly – excellent service! How fortunate Kingsport is to have an Italian restaurant like Giuseppes! We greatly enjoyed our meal there and hope to be back again soon.
