Located in front of shopping center. Not fancy but donât let the appearance fool you. If you like nice Tequila, this is the place. Upscale as well as a wide range of Tequilas. Staff is friendly with good service. The shrimp, chicken and beef fajitas were very tasty. Shrimp tacos are very good. If your in the area, stop by.

When we travel, like most folks we eat at fast food restaurants more often than we should, and Taco Bell is one of our favorites. The problem is finding a really good one. It's been our experience that generally, a Taco Bell at a major interstate exit is probably not going to review nearly as well as one located further off the interstate.Such is the case with the Taco Bell in Lenoir City, TN. The food is always fresh, the shells are always crunchy (never soggy or stale), and overall the food here is some of the best we've found at any Taco Bell restaurant.Also, many of the employees have been there at least for the five+ years we've been patrons...this speaks volumes for the management of any fast food restaurant where turnover is almost daily. Add to that, every person that has waited on us has been extremely nice (not necessarily a trait in today's world).This Taco Bell is about a mile away from I-75 in Lenoir City, TN, but if you ever find yourself craving a Taco while in this area...it's worth your time to give them a try.

The restaurant was clean and the service good. The salsa and chips were similar to other Mexican restaurants in the area. The food was hot can came quickly. The menu offered the same dishes as other places. Nothing original or special.
5. El Senor Rancho Mexican Restaurant
Reviewed By BigDaddyDave55138
The full name of this restaurant is actually El Senor Rancho Mexican Restaurant... Dawn Marie was visiting us between business trips⦠It was time for dinner and we all agreed that we should find a Mexican Restaurant to satisfy our needs. El Senor Rancho Mexican Restaurant is located in a strip shopping center in a space that has served as a home for 2 or 3 other restaurants. FYIâ¦Lenoir City has at least 5 full-blown Mexican restaurants with 4 others nearby in Loudon County. El Senor Rancho is the newest addition to the group. This restaurant's brightly decorated dining room also comes with a full bar. My wife and Dawn Marie both had Margaritaâs but I went for an El Sol Mexican beer. In addition to the obligatory basket of tortilla chips and a couple of small bowls of salsa, we decided to try El Senor Ranchoâs version of Choriqueso. ($6.99) It looked too oily when it was served but when we mixed the cheese up with the topping of ground chorizo, it turned out to be perhaps the best version of this appetizer in the area⦠One key extra ingredient were slices of jalapeno! For her dinner, Dawn Marie ordered a Taco Salad. ($8.49) The flour tortilla shell was filled with ground beef, then topped with lettuce, tomato, guacamole and sour cream⦠It was very satisfying, especially after the ârichâ cheesy appetizer with chorizo. My better half stuck to a version of her favorite Mexican fareâ¦a Quesadilla, in this case a Grande Quesadilla filled with cheese and mushrooms. ($10.99) It came with pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce. Extra sour cream and guacamole were in order to complete her feast! She loved this entrée!As for myself, I ordered one of my favorites too. This was my Chile Colorado. ($10.99) It consists of chopped pieces or slices of steak with salsa ranchera and it was served with rice, beans and warm flour tortillas. There was just enough âheatâ in my ranchera sauce to make me happy and this version measures up nicely with similar dishes offered by competitors in the area.We all enjoyed our meals, the portions were quite large, the service was efficient and the restaurant was clean. We will indeed return to El Senor Rancho to try some other offerings from the menu!

After a long day on the road my husband, son, and I stoped at this location for dinner. We were exhausted , hungry, and hours from home. We were imediately seated and our very attentive waiter took great care of us. We left feeling refreshed and we will visit again when we are in the area. Food is delicious !

We arrived about 1PM and the restaurant was still crowded....everyone but us was a Mexican landscape or construction crew having a hearty Mexican lunch before going back to work....that is a very good sign.There is now an English menu, and many pictures, and our server spoke perfect English, so language is no long a barrier to trying La LupitaThere are street-type tacos with 6 different meats, a number of plates with chicken, pork or beef in a variety of presentations, a few seafood dishes, sandwiches, Mexican stews, etc.....a good menu, and one that does not too closely resemble the Mexican-Americanized restaurants that you normally find.I had a ceviche tostada.....citrus marinated tiny shrimp with slices of avocado on a crispy corn tortilla, plus 3 tacos......beef, pork, and marinated pork, and a side of Mexican rice.My wife had a carnitas (roasted pork) burrito....it was huge and good, with beans and rice.Food is great, portions are large, prices are reasonable, and it is more authentic than any other place I have found in Knoxville. There is also a Mexican food store using about half the space..Worth a try!

We've been coming here for years now, and Casa Fiesta has consistently good food, good service and good prices. Chips come with not only salsa but also a cheesy bean dip, which is great. There are plenty of Mexican combination plates at low costs, and also many other great options like the Molcahete -- big stone bowl full of several different types of sizzling meats. The margaritas are great. If you want to try a different type of non-alcoholic drink try the Horchata -- kind of a sweet rice milk with cinnamon and perhaps some nuts.
