El Taxqueno - Chattanooga

Best Mexican food we had in Tennessee and Kentucky on our 2 weeks trip, would highly recommend it. Restaurant is run by the owners with Mexican roots who love their authentic food. Tacos were excellent (we tried most of them), the dips are super tasty.Doesn't look for much outside and inside. But super friendly service, fresh prepared and authentic food (not Tex Mex) and greatvalue for money compensate for it.

Don 't let the outside fool you; Great place to eat! You need to try it atleast once if not more! : Tasty more authentic Mexican food vs. Tennessee Mex, Tex Mex, etc. So a little different variety but still have the basics like tacos, burritos,enchiladas, nachos, and fajitas *plus* things like tortas, ceviche, cactus, aquachiles, churros, and more. (Though, no chips &salsa automatically unless requested for a small price. Ooh and dozens of freshly made onsite juices, smoothies, andmilkshakes! Exceptional and bilingual staff. Cash or card accepted. Husband and wife owned and ran. Love supporting small,local restaurants. We would come again. : :

This place has legitimately great food. The family that runs it, is friendly and professional. The meals are very affordable. That said, have you ever been to place that can tell the people who run it, enjoy being there and take pride intheir work? This is one of those places. Just talk to the family, ask them about their favorite meals. You won't bedisappointed.

It was so good. The outside is a little banged up, you can definitely tell it's a mom and pop run shop. The food was very fresh and delicious, over stuffed. The waitress was very attentive without being overbearing. Everything was clean and neat.

One of the best meals I?ve had in a long time. Delicious food, amazing service. We came with 2 kids under 4 who ran around a bit, and the folks were all incredibly nice. Check it out!
