Amazi!ng We ordered the Full House and a plate with two sides. The tamales I tried were the Chicken Tinga and the Calabacitas vegetarian. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. ,, I’ve traveled through many Latin American countries, and honestly, these tamales were better than anything I’ve had before The service was great : everyone was super friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed, with chill music that made the place feel welcoming. This is truly a Knoxville gem. If you love good food, you need to try it.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This is my happy place. Everything is made with fresh ingredients. Tamales are the absolute best. Their black beans and rice is phenomenal. Been following this guy since he used to sell in market Square. So happy for all his success. Every meal is always excellent. And their twist on banana pudding will leave you wanting more.

This is my absolute favorite place to eat! If you’re ever in Knoxville, you absolutely must try them! I love all their tamales, but the Chicken Curry and the Queso Poblano are my absolute favorites. Trust me, I’ve tried them all! They’re best served with a side of their famous collard greens, and they’ll also automatically come with a side of salsa! The food is absolutely incredible, and the staff is always so friendly and energetic!
