" Always a great experience here! Their table-side guacamole is phenomenal, and I absolutely love their tacos. The salsa bar adds a nice touch, and I appreciate the variety it offers. Service is generally good, though I’ve encountered a long wait at times. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited this restaurant with some friends who are huge fans and now I see why! The tacos and enchiladas were all delicious, and the margaritas were superb. The salsa bar offered something for everyone, and we got to experiment with different flavor combos. The atmosphere was festive and fun! " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to El Burro Flojo and it won’t be my last! I was mesmerized by the variety of salsas. I ended up trying their shrimp tacos and they were fantastic! Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The prices were great for the portion sizes we received. It was a friendly atmosphere with quick service. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend El Burro Flojo enough! The ambiance is perfect for a casual dinner and the food is bursting with genuine flavors! Their tacos al pastor are a must-try, and every dish I’ve had has been fantastic. The service staff is friendly and attentive. A must-visit for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, it lacked that wow factor. I had the carne asada and it was decent, but I've had much more flavorful dishes elsewhere. The service was kind of slow, which was frustrating. I love the idea of the salsa bar but didn't find the salsas to be particularly memorable. I might return to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Burro Flojo has become my go-to spot for authentic Mexican food in Knoxville. The salsa bar is loaded with fresh, homemade options that elevate every meal. The staff is always kind and welcoming, and I've never had a bad meal. I particularly love their vegetarian options—super tasty! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to El Burro Flojo and I can honestly say it fell below my expectations. While the staff was friendly, my meal was lackluster. I tried the flatbreads which were stale, and the service could have been more attentive. Not the experience I was hoping for. Perhaps others have better luck. " (*Curated Review*)
