Taco Ranch

Tacos were the best we have ever had! So much flavor in every single bite! Great selection of tacos and fun apps! We got a selection of different tacos and we also got the nachos and we were able to feed the whole family with the portion! Drinks were delicious as well! All the food is made fresh and the service is so nice and helpful! Great setting , full bar and outside seating. Owner is such a nice guy and came out to talk to us and made sure everything was good. We will definitely be back!

This place was amazing. Very good service, creative dishes that were flavorful, nice indoor and outdoor area to dine. Everything we tried was delicious. Hot honey boneless chicken wings, tacos, chips and cheese dip, corn on the cob, and a very amazing pineapple tajin cheesecake. This is a must try in Pigeon Forge.

Excellent choice for a quick bite! The tacos were fresh and flavorful, with a great variety to choose from. My friends especially enjoyed the jackfruit tacos. The owners were incredibly friendly and kind—they even served our party complimentary desserts, which we all loved! If you’re in the area, don’t miss this gem.

I mostly wait until I return home to write my reviews but in a town with so many options where to eat I don't want you to miss this one. As someone with decades of experience who has high standard this place is an absolute gem. You will not be disappointed. I will expand my review when time permits. If you are looking for great food and all these giant restaurants aren't your thing then look no further. Darlene and the staff keep up the great work. Pigeon forge needs more of this.

We happened to pass by here on our way home. We ordered a few dishes randomly, and the taste was just like what I had in Mexico. I ate three tacos, which were incredibly delicious. What was rare was that the toilet was decorated with a very exotic style. By the way, I'd like to praise the waiters. The girls always had such bright smiles, and the speed of serving dishes was astonishingly fast. The tables and chairs were clean, and the country music made me feel extremely relaxed here.

Very chill vibes here. This is not your typical taco joint where you get chips and salsa. This is more of a hipster taco joint. You order from a select menu and they are not your standard type of tacos. I’d take a look at the menu first just to be safe. Overall, great experience, great food, and quick and easy.

Taco Ranch A Hidden Gem in Tennessee! If you're in Tennessee and craving flavorful, satisfying tacos, look no further than Taco Ranch! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service and an inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every taco was packed with bold, authentic flavors, and the ingredients tasted super fresh. We tried the street corn and onion rings. You can tell they put a lot of love and attention into everything they make. The portions were generous, prices were fair, and the overall vibe was chill and family-friendly. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal with friends or family, Taco Ranch is a must-visit spot. Highly recommend this place we’ll be coming back!

Stopped by Taco Ranch for lunch while visiting Knoxville and was pleasantly surprised. Service was quick and efficient, which made it a great spot for a casual bite. The waffle fries were the standout—crispy, flavorful, and even better with the tasty sauces and a spicy jalapeño kick. I also tried the fish and avocado tacos, which were decent, though not as memorable as the fries. Overall, a solid lunch stop with some great flavors and fast service.

The only thing worth going to Tennessee for. I order the chips and queso, frikka tikka taco, and crispy avocado taco. The queso is like nothing I have ever had before, the tacos look basically gourmet, and the portion sizes are amazing for the price. The service is fast even when the place is packed, and the workers have all been kind.

The resteraunt was very clean and well maintained. The employees were very attentive and helpful. Above all, the tacos were excellent! Our family tried 6 different tacos and love each and every one!

This place is taco perfection! They have handmade tortillas, unique and delicious flavor combinations, and the service was amazing. It was friendly and warm. The chef came out to check on everyone and see how people enjoyed the food. I could see a place like this doing so well in Colorado too, bummed we don't have it there! Also, the pig and fig taco was THE BEST!

Loved this place! I thought it was pricey when we ordered, but when we got our food it was clear you definitely get your money's worth and then some. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavor profiles were phenomenal. Service was on par, everyone was friendly, too! Loved the layout of the restaurant with the roll up door for the patio, and the place was very clean and cute! Definitely recommend.

The tacos were very small for $5.99 each. The ones we chose. 1-#8 Pig& Fig 1-#9 Green Chile Pork First of all the server brought us on dish at a time and didn't know what number or taco she was serving. So we did know which was which either and we ended up with the wrong one. The #9 was supposed to have roast corn on it and it didn't. The Ambiance was ok. It reminded us of Moes or Chipotle. So to us it was ok nothing special

I almost never do this on vacation but I might have to eat here again tomorrow! The crispy avocado taco was so delicious! So often you get a burger or taco with lots of flavors and it just doesn't live up to the hype. But the crispy avocado taco had a ton of flavors, and I could taste them all individually and also taste how well they worked together. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is cool, though the music was a bit loud for my taste. We had other tacos and starters that were good but the crispy avocado was absolutely the best. Yum!

My husband and I stopped in to check out one of the new restaurants in Pigeon Forge. Since the moment we walked in, we knew this place will do well. It had a fun atmosphere with 80s music playing, a very cool looking bar and an eclectic mix of specialty tacos. The cashier took our order effectively and our food was brought out quickly. The Mexican street elote had a healthy serving of three corn cobs smothered in a creamy sauce. I highly recommend the #10 The Ol' Carolina taco as it was just the right blend of sweet and spicy with Carolina BBQ sauce and pickled onions. I can't wait to go back and sample more!

We loved this place! In a sea of tourist traps and restaurants serving fried bar food, this was like an oasis. All the tacos were super creative and filling--2 made for a very big meal. I absolutely loved the pig & fig and my family loved the chicken tikka taco. Prices were reasonable and service was fast. Don't pass this up!

Taco Ranch.... What are yall doing in the back this is fire!!! Note: 2 tacos will fill you up. We picked 3 different kinds of tacos and the Kids Chicken Quesadillas. 1. Frikka Tikka chicken - this is a chicken taco with an Indian curry vibe this one was by far one of the best! 5 out of 5 2. Snapper taco - not that good 3 and 1/2 out of 5 3. Soul Sister Chicken Tacos - it is a Korean fried chicken tender quite spicy but well worth it. Has a ton of sauce. 4 out of 5 4. Kids Chicken Quesadillas - heavy on the pulled chicken and has fries but very good! 4 out of 5 5. Pink Lemonade - was like the pink starburst but lemonade! 5 out of 5 Service: this is our first time going here and the person at the register was super nice and helped us pick good options and making sure we didn't over order. The tacos are big! And the lady that brought us our food was so friendly and welcoming. Would be happy to come back! 5 out of 5 Bathrooms: I was quite happy and shocked at how clean the restrooms were! 5 out of 5 Over all this is traditional tacos remade but better and not in the to much area but was well done and opened a new window of Mexican food and how it can be mixed in so many unique ways! 5 out of 5 over ALL!

This place is the BEST! Everything was clean, fresh, great service, and fabulous. My husband had the kicked up PB&j bacon burger-he loved it (hadn't had a taco this good since we moved from AZ.). They pack the taco full worth the money. The herbed tots also very tasty. Everything was fresh, tasted great and the drinks perfect! Full bar great for families, indoor/ outdoor space to eat. Loved it!!!!

Love this place, it was a sudden surprise when we walked in. I was thinking it was just another taco place, but it specialized in custom type tacos. Service was fast. The restaurant also had a nice bar with specialty drinks that completed the whole taco ambiance experience.

Hands down the best food we had on our vacation. Everything was fast yet fresh and incredibly flavorful. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean even when busy. Highly recommend.

#6 CARNE ASADA CHIMICHURRI HERB MARINATED & GRILLED FLAT IRON STEAK, CHIMICHURRI CREMA, SALSA VERDE, BLISTERED PADRON PEPPERS, ROASTED CORN PICO DE GALLO, QUESO FRESCO, CILANTRO, CILANTRO-LIME CORN TORTILLA - 6.29 Flavor was on point but the flat iron steak was tough! Not tender at all , but it was flat iron beef! The onion ring tower was excellent! My wife loved red snapper taco but a tad spicy! We went here from a recommendation from a coworker! We liked it but I would stay away from the beef! Very reasonable! Service counter order and they give you a number to your table! Diet drinks are at a minimum but a variety of other beverages! Great bar scene and music! Busy at 10 pm ! Enjoy the experience!

Buckle your seatbelts and get ready for a roller coaster ride of flavors. We started off with the onion rings and gochujang queso. The queso was AMAZING! The onion rings were good, and the chimi-ranch and harissa ketchup were very good. We tried an assortment of tacos and have narrowed it down to our favorites which were the buffalo chicken, pig and the fig and the Seoul sister. The favorites came about because we thought they were the most flavorful and had the best balance of flavors. The food is freshly prepared and they make their own corn tortillas fresh which is hard to find these days and it makes all the difference. We're here for the weekend but might have to come back for a second meal, it was that good.

NEW Restaurant Alert! Nestled on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge between Firehouse Subs and Handbag Store. Taco Ranch is the newest addition to PF and it's such a vibe. You enter to Menus on the wall, specials on boards and you order at the counter. They offer a full bar as well, which you can sit at and enjoy a game at one of their many tvs. The venue space is rather small so don't plan on a large group gathering. If you are looking for plain meat and cheese tacos- this isn't going to be the place for you. They serve up tacos with a twist. Combining items that may sound odd, but are truly spectacular!!! I highly recommend the Elvis!

Tacos were the best we have ever had! So much flavor in every single bite! Great selection of tacos and fun apps! We got a selection of different tacos and we also got the nachos and we were able to feed the whole family with the portion! Drinks were delicious as well!

We will definitely be back!

Well me and the Mrs. were craving some tacos today and came across "Taco Ranch" in pigeon Forge right on the strip. Taco Ranch did not disappoint, we had three different tacos. the Carolina, the Carne asada and the awesome chili rubbed snapper a long with the onion ring tower and the staple chips and queso. The manager (Darline) came by to check on us as did the chef (Tony). Taco Ranch is family owned. Our choices were amazing in taste and the presentation was well thought of since the tacos were huge and needed their own support system. The decor and music played were appropriate for this nice Taco joint. Highly recommend and will be back !! Well done Taco Ranch !!

Great experience. Good ordering, lots of employees and quick service. Delicious tacos- my fav was the cauliflower ones. Also liked the avocado one. Loaded waffle fries also great. Service was excellent and nice ambiance. My only recommendation would be to have multi-person bathrooms as there is a lot of dining capacity for just two single bathrooms.

The food and drinks were delicious! We ordered every app and the waffle fries, tots, elote corn and queso were all great. The queso was my personal fav! I came with friends and we ordered the avocado taco, cauliflower taco, jackfruit taco, chicken tikka, carne and the thai shrimp taco. I really enjoyed all of them and definitely could tell a lot of thought was put into the menu! There is a full bar and lots of beers on draft. The bartenders name was Shane and he made the best margaritas!! I really liked how clean the restaurant is and the employees were all so friendly! The owners came out and spoke to us and talked to us about their passion for food and creative development. I will definitely come back! There was a live singer and people were dancing, it was a great vibe!

We passed Taco Ranch and stopped in after playing a round of mini golf and we were blown away by the food. We sat at the bar and Shaq was our server/bartender and he was awesome. We ordered one taco each and then a second at his recommendation. Each tortilla had its own specific flavor and the Mediterranean taco with the Hibiscus tortilla was incredible! And the prices were great as well as we expected a high price taco with not much to it and we were so surprised at the amount of meat in each taco for the price. We will always visit Taco Ranch when we are in Pigeon Forge!

Oh boy! Find your spot now because this place is going to be bumping during any car show. Right on the strip with an open window and bar stools, who could ask for more. Oh wait there is more! TACOS!! Unique tacos with an awesome flavor. This place may not look like much but it packs a punch. Great service by our bartender who made sure that our Margaritas stayed cold, and our tacos kept coming.

Yummy and unusual. We ordered a lobster taco, and carne asada and loaded nachos. Also a prickly pear margarita. Everything was delicious, though the asada could have been marinated more was a bit tough.

Ordered the carne meat taco and 2 lobster avocado tacos. The cane meat one was spicy so I wasn't a fan but the lobster one was very good. Definitely a good stop for tacos. They bring the food to your table so it was good service. The atmosphere was nice, we sat outside.

We ordered a little of everything. I had the chimchurri steak taco and Thai chili shrimp taco, both amazing. The steak was so tender! The eleote is the best we've had anywhere. My son ordered the breakfast taco with bacon and egg and devoured it. My husband had the pig and fig, he loved it. He had the snapper as well.

Fresh and delicious! There were several interesting choices on the menu. The Elote, Carne ASADA and Avacado tacos were great. We will return to try more!

Tried this on a whim looking for some lunch- on the most amazing taco fusion I've had outside of the Twin Cities. We ordered the chicken tikka taco, which had phenomenal flavors with some pickled onion on top, and the green chili pork taco where the cilantro-lime corn tortilla really made the taco pop. The #6 carne asada chimichurri steak taco was cooked absolutely perfectly. Two margaritas on the rocks really made the meal. Hand-formed pepperjack chive tots provided a flavorful compliment to some excellent fusion tacos. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a barbecue joint with the overly loud country music and rolls of paper towels on the tables. When we arrived for a Saturday lunch, tables were full with a very wide variety of humans and the staff was super welcoming and inviting to everyone. I would highly recommend for sure and would return absolutely!

All food was cooked to order and fresh ingredients my favorite was the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco the Thai Chile Shrimp was REALLY spicy. Service was prompt and friendly. The Elote corn was very fresh NOT frozen which is big in my book. Lastly the Hot Elvis describes the Banana as being Caramelized, it is NOT, its just a raw banana.. I loved the pancake it was encased in but overall didnt care for the Hot Elvis as a whole.

Checked out this place on a while because I was craving Mexican and this was one of the few places open at 10:30 at night. What an incredibly pleasant surprise when I walked in, and realized that the whole menu is a VAST variety of tacos for one to order a la carte. I had 3, the PBJ Burger Taco, the Lobster Salad Taco and the Crunchy Avocado Taco. All three were reasonably priced (for a tourist town like Pigeon Forge, at any rate), and tasted SPECTACULAR. Craving some tequila, I also ate at the bar, and the bar staff was very friendly, and mixed me one of the best Tequila Sunrises (a personal favorite of mine) I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. A hearty recommendation to come here next time you're in Pigeon Forge, I certainly will!

An unexpected little place! After ordering at the counter, we sat and I took in all of the little "moments" of the decor. From the beautiful patterned tile to the awning over the drink station to the pattern on the ceiling tiles to the ladies making the homemade tortillas. And I couldn't stop looking at the bar! Our food was brought to our table and it was SO good. The people working were friendly which topped off the whole experience. Highly recommend!

The tacos and queso are EXCELLENT! We stopped here after the Local Goat was a disgusting failure! You can see the employees making the tortillas from scratch in the kitchen. Everything was fresh, delicious, and the prices are reasonable. If you love Tex-Mex, you won't be disappointed. This is a fun little spot in Pigeon Forge!

My family and I were in town for the first time in a while and saw this place so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! Each taco was delicious in its own way and the staff were super friendly. The restaurant was clean - I saw several employees always walking around and cleaning up. Now... on to the food! We started with the gochujang queso and chips. We were pleasantly surprised that the queso was deliciously creamy and just a bit spicy, enough to give that extra little kick. I got the Mediterranean steak and fattoush taco, the buffalo chicken taco, and the lobster and avocado taco. Each one was unique and fun and brought a playful vibe to something that can sometimes be a little "plain Jane." The steak and chicken tacos were slightly spicy but not overly so and the lobster taco brought the perfect amount of cooling to round out the meal. My sister got the steak, Nashville hot chicken, and the chile red snapper and said all of them were amazing. Overall, we would be sure to make this a must-eat while on town!

Nice Mexican restaraunt with decent food. OK resaraunt for a quick bite. Ambience was OK. Prices were good for what you get.

Food, service, and ambiance: 10/10! The elote was absolutely delicious - the perfect start to an incredible meal. We tried the Nashville Hot Chicken, Carne Asada Chimichurri, Lobster & Avocado, and Gringo tacos, and every single one was bursting with flavor. I only wish I wasn't so full because I would've loved to try even more. Can't wait to come back!

Wow, What a gem! First the restaurant atmosphere is great. Second the service was so quick and third the food was absolutely delicious! We went on a Monday night around 7, prime time to grab food! My personal favorite was the fried avocado taco, it was BOMB! Also we took our two kiddos and they had a nice kids menu! My kids got the quesadilla and waffle fries, they were happy!

Stopped on a whim because the menu sounded interesting. Gojughang queso was SO good - very spicy, but delicious. I got the carne asada taco and the green chili pork taco. Both were phenomenal. Hubby got the red snapper and the shrimp. Both of his were delicious. His only complaint was the snapper was a little dry. Our daughter got the chicken nuggets and fries... which, for a kids meal, was really good. The chicken was extremely tasty. A+, will definitely be back. I want to try the tikka chicken tacos and the fig & pig tacos!

Absolutely AMAZING! Cannot wait to come back and try more of this food. This trip we had : Gochujang Queso and Chips Panko Onion Rings Mexican Street Elote (MUST ORDER!!) Buffalo Chicken Soul Sister Chicken Carne Asada Chimichuri Kicked Up PB&J Bacon Burger (MUST ORDER!!) Pig & Fig Chili Rubbed Snapper The Hot Elvis (breakfast taco but our dessert) Everything was wonderful and the service was spectacular. We WILL be back!!

Slow service; sub par food I knew it was a tourist trap, but I thought the food would at least be acceptable. I was wrong.

We stopped in not really knowing what to think but we are always willing to try anything and glad we did. It is not fancy by any mean but it is delicious! I believe the tortillas were homemade and so yummy! One thing just a side note is that each order is 1 taco. We didn't realize that at first but no biggie. The tacos are very filling! We got the Mediterranean Tacos and Loaded Fries

* food was really good , my party of 4 got waffle fries as appetizers. I do have to add I got the soul sister chicken and got really sick afterwards but I have a weak stomach so we listen we don't judge !! * the Mexican Coca-Cola is not special it's regular soda just called as is for some reason . * service was really good , no rudeness and felt very welcome . * ambiance was a bit cozy and more trendy . Definitely not romantic or fancy but it's cool.

The queso is amazing. I got a spicy shrimp taco and thought it could use more flavor. Margaritas were good too

Walk in... order at the counter and sit to wait on food. We ordered the gochujang queso & chips, #2buffalo chicken, #3nashville hot chicken (both one taco each) and 2 drafts beer. As soon as we sit they brought our food. (And we got the only table they had left) They had live music and also played music kinda loud over the speaker. Would definitely go back!

If you're in Pigeon Forge and craving some seriously delicious tacos, Taco Ranch is the place to go! Every taco we tried was packed with unique flavors and fresh ingredients, making it one of the best taco spots I've been to in a long time. We ordered a variety, and each one was a standout. Some are not pictured because we ate them too fast . The Mango Passion fruit margarita was also very yummy. The service was great! The employees were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout.

Honestly, it's "gourmet" tacos but they are average. I just wanted a legit taco from Central America, not a fusion with Korean or Mediterranean or Indian flavors. It can be fun...I just wanted authentic. Single tacos were about $4-7 each, so a bit pricey. Atmosphere was nice, clean, nice indoor/outdoor area. I wouldn't return.

The loaded waffle fries have such an awesome flavor profile! A little bit of heat, but not too much. The decor is so modern but still fits the theme very well! The service was awesome and didn't have to wait at all! We will be back for sure!

The area and ambience is really nice especially at night this is isn't even mentioning the quality of tacos. As a Hispanic ik good tacos when I eat them so when I tell you they're good here it ain't no joke. The customer service was great when we went there was a girl was really nice and the bartender was as well. Just good vibes and good food

First time here and food was great had the carne asada tacos they were delicious service was good

Love this place. It's an absolute MUST try if you're in town. The PB&J is a big win. Also the shrimp tacos were fantastic. Only down fall is it's quite spendy for one taco.

We came with a group of 10 and tried just about every taco, the Seoul sister was my favorite. A taco from every corner of the world and something for everyone. Everything was so delicious! The bartender, Carlos was so sweet and made sure we loved our cocktails. This will be a new staple restaurant stop for our yearly family trip to Tennessee! The decor is beautiful and staff is great. It's totally worth it and better than any chain in the area

Food was delicious. Definitely not the type place to satisfy your Mexican cravings, but for sure the spot to try something unique and different. The restaurant was sparkling it was so clean, and the service was great as well. Can't wait to go back and try something else!
