Loco Burro Knoxville

“Spent our cinco de mayo here and it was a blast! Food was so fresh and flavorful and even the basics were unique and made to order. Was able to get corn tortillas and chips so they’d be gluten free and server was very knowledgeable about dairy free/vegan options too. Thanks for such great service and a super positive attitude, Gavin! We loved your personality and care tonight - you are a terrific server!”

“My wife and I absolutely loved this place! Everything about this Mexican restaurant was on point. The service was outstanding! Our server was Gavin and he was excellent. Never once had to ask for refills, he was very approachable and respectful as well. The food presentation was incredible and tasted amazing. Very unique spin on traditional Mexican food. The taste was unique as well, having that Mexican spicy taste but with a modern spin. My wife ordered the locos nachos with beef and I ordered the enchiladas supremas (both dishes are pictured) and those dishes exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back! If you stop by this restaurant, ask for Gavin! He will take great care of you!”

“I am so in love with this place that i’d sell them my kidney for another bite to eat here 😭I’d sacrifice my first born just for a chip loaded with their fire roasted salsa it’s THAT good. This is literally the best Mexican food i’ve ever had in my life(and it’s not just the weed talking) Me and my dad drove 31/2 hours for this place and I plan on making the drive again before i move out of state. My only complaint is THEY NEED MORE LOCATIONS.”

“I am usually not one to write a bad review, but this was ultimately a disappointing first visit. My friend and I came in around 3 and sat on the rooftop after we did some shopping in the mall. When we were seated, there was only 1 other table that had finished their meal and 1 party came in after us, which was taken care of by the other server. We both ordered drinks and I got the piña colada, which was great! We then ordered el trio and chips and salsa. When the app came out, the queso was cold, but we didn’t bring it up because the taste was still pretty good. We didn’t receive the chips and salsa, so we requested it again when we ordered more food. I wanted to start with something small so I ordered the chorizo mac and cheese and my friend ordered the tortilla soup. Despite requesting the chips and salsa once more, it never came. The chorizo mac and cheese was dry and comparable to Hamburger Helper and my friend’s soup was served in a small cup similar to the one that held the dips in el trio for $9. At this point, we didn’t care to stay and eat more because the service was so inattentive. I don’t believe we were checked on at all throughout the meal, but by the time he did come to our table, we were ready to leave. I’m not sure if the server was expecting a bad tip from the beginning based on our appearance or if today was simply an off day, but it did have an effect on the overall experience.”

“If I could give all zero stars, I would. Impressive effort to get so many things wrong in one visit. We never received menus or waters, waited nearly two hours for our food, and then found a bug in one of the dishes. The waitress's response was that she was "going to throw up"—not an apology. The manager offered a discount, but we still waited over 20 minutes for the check and no one followed up. At least the bug got to the table before our food did.”
