Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Suggested by a local family member, this restaurant was a haven for this traveling NM family. Everything from the decor to the guacamole was reminiscent of home. Our family was seated quickly and asked for our drink preferences. They brought out the chips and salsa, and we ordered guacamole. The food was flavorful, and the service was excellent. The Supreme Salad was a little much for my son, both in size and spice, but otherwise, our meals were beyond satisfactory. The server kept our tea full, and made sure we were well taken care of. The salsa was flavorful and the guacamole was fresh and tasted of garlic (yum). I especially enjoyed the decor in the restroom: bright Iime, brightening the room considerably.

Wow! We are from NC and came to Johnson city to visit some waterfalls... This restaurant has real authentic food!! Strongly recommend it! Too bad we live far from it!

THIS IS NOT TEX-MEX! Actually, I'm not sure what it is. The chips and salsa (though a tad mild) were fairly authentic but it went downhill from there. The house tequila in my margarita was as smooth as a gravel road. Make sure to ask for an upgrade and pay the extra. The red sauce on my beef burrito and chili relleno tasted strongly of ketchup instead of a sauce with the appropriate Mexican seasonings. The beef was equally lacking in spice. In its own way it was kind of tasty, but Southwestern it was not---perhaps a Deep South version, with the fire and flavor taken out of it. Southwesterners, look elsewhere for your Tex-Mex fix.

To eat here was a blessing. - Very friendly service - Wide array of options (nice authentic dishes. Not just listing of different dinner combinations) - Atmosphere was exciting and energetic (pleasant Latin American music playing in background) - Food was good quality Looking forward to my next visit!

The best ...seriously best Mexican food I ever have had. Consistent on how delicious each meal I have had over 3 years. My favorite is the Pollo Loco and there is nothing I can say but Yummy. This is a place to take family, guest or a date. Sometimes they are a little busy but that's good news since that alone says something about how great this place is. Worth the wait if any.

Good service and food was good. Salsa was more flavorful than many other Mexican places I frequent. Fajitas were sizzling and good, but could have used a bit more spice, just a little bland.

Atmosphere: Dated, geared more toward very casual dining. Service: Average service. No complaints. Food: Decent mexican food, I've had better though. I had a chile relleno and a taco. The meat tasted underseasoned and a little overcooked. The chile relleno was good but it was doused with red sauce couldn't really taste the full flavor of it. Cost: Inexpensive, well priced for the quantity and quality of the food. Overall: I would go back but its definitely not a place you HAVE to try if you're in Elizabethton, TN

Ok, there just wasn't any good Mexican food in Tri Cities until El Charolais (nee El Torito) opened. The staff are very friendly, and the food is excellent. My favorite dish is "Jaliciense" which is grilled chicken mixed with chorizo sausage and white cheese sauce. Full bar, huge menu, lunch specials, and they'll make it as spicy or mild as you like. It's casual, right next to the university, and the prices are really reasonable. They've expanded twice now, and the patio is really nice on summer evenings. If the Jaliciense is too spice for you, you might also really like the Torta (sammich) Carnitas (pork roast).

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! They do a great job with the traditional favorites, but they blew me away with their authentic menu items. Try the lengua taco, it is tender and delicious. The sopes are another must-have. They are a cornmeal base that was soft inside but crunchy on the edges. They put beans, meat, lettuce and sour cream on top, and they were amazing! I highly recommend you check them out and try a new menu item!

Unfortunately our first experience at El Charolais was less than satisfactory all based on the level of service. For me, I can usually tell immediately upon being greeted at the table by wait staff what to expect. In this case we were an annoyance from the moment our drink order was taken. Too bad since the food was actually quite good. Return trip? Probably for the food,but the staff will have to step it up or my money goes somewhere else.

Food was 4, maybe 5 stars for flavor but presentation and service make it barely 3. We were given a barely full bowl of chips when we were seated and the conservative approach to portions continued through the meal. $9 for Fajita nachos and there wasn't even enough cheese on them to get to half the chips. I love soupy nachos- not dry chips covered in onions and peppers. The waiter refused to bring any extra cheese without extra charge- I asked for the manager and he responded she was up front and we could speak to her later- so I had to walk up front to get her. They of course started speaking in spanish so I don't know what was said by finally upon my insistence she came over and looked and said all the cheese was in the bottom of the plate. She relented and did give me some more cheese for no charge but I've never had to go through such hoops just to get a dish tweaked a bit. It may just be food but when spending $25 on a lunch date there are definitely other options.

My favorite Mexican restaurant, period! I've lived in Knoxville and Nashville and I still haven't found a Mexican restaurant that can stand up to this place. The servers are all extremely nice and friendly, and the food is fantastic. A tip: ask for the jalapeno sauce! It's made in house fresh, and is superb (especially when mixed in the taco salad). But it's really spicy, so watch out! The salsa is great too, but if you're one of those people who can't eat cilantro it won't be for you, as it's usually pretty heavy on the cilantro.

Strange place for a Mexican restaurant.Its right beside a Kroger. But obviously folks really like it. Based on the line to get in. Glad we already had friends with a table waiting. Decent bar area and seating thru out was a mix of tables and booths. Typical spanish decor,nice and clean. The food was good. Chicken burrito was right on for seasoning and moist. The guacamole was really fresh and delish. Service was fast and friendly.Thumbs up and 3.5 stars for me.

Great service, delicious chips and salsa. We ate the beef nachos and chicken fajita quesadilla and they were amazing! Best Mexican we've had in the Tri-Cities:)
(5)Roy R.
Dining here since they opened the doors, and it was just a few tables. Now they have expanded into several store fronts, with a nice bar and patio. The staff are friendly, and efficient. There is something on the menu at every price range for everyone who enjoys fresh, casual Mexican food that is excellent for this region. We have dined here hundreds of times in the past seven years and they always meet our expectations.
