The food was the best I’ve had since Houston! Fresh tilapia, amazing green sauce, we all cleaned our plates. Would absolutely go back over and over to try more dishes!

Some of the best priced Hispanic food you can find. Absolutely flavorful and the dude that runs the place is an awesome guy also. Forgot my tacos, called me and added new ones in case mine sat and got soggy. Would recommend this place 10x over

Edit: I had to lower the score after dealing with the delivery a second AND a third time. The second time a main course was missing and when I called to let them know, the language barrier was so lost in translation that I ended up hanging up and cutting my loss.
The third and what will be the final time ordering from this establishment, Both dinner combinations were missing items plus the sides that we ordered and payed for was missing as well. Also, they drenched the enchiladas in sour cream even though I asked for red sauce.
I’m leaving the original post to show the inconsistency that this establishment provides. I no longer suggest this establishment. If you’re craving Mexican food, there’s a plethora of Mexican restaurants in Knoxville and I’m sure they are much better.
My wife and I had never tried Uber Eats, so since she just returned from overseas, we decided to give it a try. We were both in the mood for Mexican cuisine, so we started pursuing the app.
Most of the restaurants that we looked at were $5-$10 more per main than what they were when you actually dined in, then my wife said, “Hey isn’t this the place you always say you want to try when we drive past it?”. It was and the place was Cocina y Tienda Mexicana!!!
The prices, even on the Uber Eats app were super good deals. We ordered three mains, Arroz Con Camaron, Picadillo and Super Mariachi Special. All three were phenomenal in taste, Abundant in size and came with plenty of tortillas, chips and salsa!!!
Absolutely nothing bad to say about this food; it was incredible!!!! I look forward to actually visiting the establishment and trying more of their fantastic food!!! 10 out of 10. I highly recommend it!!!

We tried it twice, about a year apart. Definitely a language barrier. The food was so so. I think the rice flavor tasted like rice a roni. Not to mention, the amount you get was not much at all. The atmosphere wasn’t nothing special, just looked like a diner.

Great family run business! Food is extremely good! Always fresh and delicious! Great local spot with amazing food and service. Would highly recommend! The pastor tacos are incredible! Ask for some of their in house hot sauce for a truly authentic experience!

Good food with very reasonable prices. It’s a small place with very fast and helpfull staff. My lunch was big enough for two meals! Plenty of beef and vegetables with rice and beans as sides. Of course a big helping of tortilla chips. I will go back to try other dishes on the menu.

The food is great along with the staff! I would drive by this all the time and I decided to stop by earlier this year and I thought I left a review but I didn’t! As far as I know, they still have karaoke on Wednesdays and the margaritas are awesome.

Excellent food and service. We stopped at this place because it was in the way and can’t wait to be near there again to stop by again. The aguas frescas are delicious.

This little hole in wall is truly a hidden gem in Powell. We were greeted as we walked in and seated promptly. Service and food was really good. The only negatives for us was they use Pepsi products and the salsa was overly “tomatoey” almost like a paste. Otherwise all was great and look forward to returning! #eatlocal #supportlocal ❤️✌️❤️

I love the food. I’ve extensively explored the menu as I make it a point to visit once a week to practice my Spanish. I’ve never had a bad meal, and the prices are consistently good for whatever it is I’m getting, whether it’s surf or turf.
