" Was really looking forward to this spot, and it did not disappoint! Their desserts are to die for, especially the tres leches cake which was moist and sweet without being overwhelming. Not only that, but the chips were perfectly crispy with many different salsas to choose from. The staff was busy but polite. A little cramped for space, but it just adds to the charm! I highly recommend checking them out! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Los Girasoles while looking for dinner and it was a fantastic choice! The quesadillas we chose were cheesy and had the right amount of flavor. The atmosphere is simple but cozy. Service was friendly, but it took some time to get our order. Regardless, it was a lovely experience overall, and we plan to visit again soon. Just trying to work through the menu was a bit challenging since it’s all in Spanish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Los Girasoles! The lengua tacos were tender and flavorful. It felt like I was eating in Mexico. The only downside was the wait time for the service; it took a while to get our orders, but the food made it worth it. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not as authentic as I had hoped. The food was average at best, which was surprising given the great reviews. I expect good salsas at a Mexican restaurant; however, the ones they served were bland. The place has solid potential, but they need to focus more on the taste of their dishes rather than just having a store to sell ingredients. I might give it another shot someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for traditional Mexican food in Knoxville, look no further than Los Girasoles! The moment you walk in, you feel the vibe of authenticity. Their tacos were absolutely delicious - the meat was juicy and well-seasoned. I also appreciated the fact that the rice wasn't overwhelming like at some places. However, I did find the service to be a bit hit or miss. My table wasn't checked on often, but the food definitely made up for it. I'll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciated how the restaurant also functions as a grocery store, as it offers authentic Mexican products that are hard to find. The tacos I had were delicious, though I wish they would’ve come with a bit more salsa. I faced challenges with the service – it seems they could use more staff during busier hours. In terms of atmosphere, it's casual and friendly, which I liked. Overall, I left satisfied but felt like they could improve slightly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch at Los Girasoles. The enchiladas were packed with flavors and topped with fresh ingredients that made every bite enjoyable. The staff were very respectful and made sure we had everything we needed quickly. Though the environment is nothing extravagant, the food was satisfying enough to overlook that. The store had many ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere, which is a big bonus! " (*Curated Review*)
