The absolute best hamburgers in Knoxville, hands down! While the regular hamburger is a staple, the menu also features a rotating selection of specialty dishes. You can find everything from unique hamburgers and macaroni and cheese to international favorites like green curry and comforting soups.

Gato Peligroso Food Truck is a Knoxville favorite for a reason. Incredible burgers, great fries, and Chef Jackson’s rotating specialties keep things fresh and exciting. Always worth the stop.

Excellent food. I love the flavors on both the regulars and the specials. For gluten-free, we get burgers on a bed of fries. The service is consistent and the fries are delicious. It is so easy to sit outside with kids while they play. Perfect Friday might choice.

Lovely place and lovely owner. Me and my partner come here when we visit Knoxville, him being vegetarian, and there is always something great on the menu to enjoy!

Concise menu that rotates frequently and showcases expertise in ingredient usage. Housemade hot sauces with homegrown peppers, too. Not just one of the best food trucks around, but one of the best places to get quality food in town.
Used to come to Trailhead for the vibe and good folks, now I come for the great food too. The smash burgers are crispy on the outside and perfectly greasy in the middle. The fries are expertly fried and crispy every single time. Mac n cheese has been griddled and served as a delicious, gooey and crispy omelet that you can top with whatever rotating protein or theme of the week (BBQ pork, shawarma chicken, etc).
You won’t be disappointed!

Come to El Gato for delicious food! You’re always in for new unique, seasonal dishes and sides. Loved the salmon dip he has right now. Can’t get better than Alaska salmon.

Simply put El Gato Peligroso is the best food truck in South Knox and some of the best food around! You will know from the first bite that what’s served up here has the freshest ingredients and is prepared in an expert manner.
Another bonus is that the menu rotates periodically, and the menu is a fun mix of street food with different ethnic influences. El Gato Peligroso is an essential stop in South Knox it’s seriously great!!

So delicious! The burger looked small,but was super filling and much depth to the flavors. The sokno tacos were amazing especially with the house Gato hot sauce with a curry taste.
Get it if you can!

This quiet burger shack is, perhaps, one of the best kept secrets in Knoxville. Honestly, with my hours, I don’t need any more competition with food selling out before I can get off work. I can tell you many things, but I’ll be brief. The rotating menu is out of this world, but everything is consistently done to the same level of perfection. It can be transcontinental but there are always incredible smash burger and taco options, including vegetarian. The French fries are better than anything else you’ll find in town, I can assure you. They’re double fried and that really makes a difference. My wife and I eat here often, as we try to catch each of the weekly specials, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone else.
