Reviews for El Tipico in Knoxville, TN
Great food, cold beer, and great service. Some of the best tacos I've had in Knoxville.
Great food and a nicely tucked away cantina with amazing food! Recommended for locals and tourists - I was in town for 3 days... and went there two days in a row. Read more

I got the tacos hondureños with my friend. My friend pointed out that they resembled flautas or taquitos. I enjoyed the... freshness from the cabbage slaw and think it balanced out the meal quite nice. Read more
Definitely authentic Mexican food. Everything was prepared really well and the service was fast. It is a tiny place and don?t... let the exterior fool you, it?s awesome. They have menu?s in English but everything else, tv, music, etc is in Spanish. It?sclearly a local favorite but as out of towners we felt perfectly welcomed! Read more
Delicious food and friendly staff. I came to try the Honduran food and was very pleased. I ordered the Carne Asada Plate and it... was enormous. Quite an array of items and all complemented each other. I certainly will be back to try more! Read more
My husband and I first went to this restaurant 4 years ago and were blown away by the food and atmosphere. Amazing! A hole in... the wall, authentic Honduran/Mexican restaurant. Went back here recently, (august 2022) and left very disappointed. My husbandordered the same exact menu item as our first visit (the fried chicken and fried bananas) and I ordered the supreme nachos. Wewaited quite a while while other tables who entered before us were served. When we finally got our food?My husbands chickenappeared to be ALL the leftover ?backs? from the chicken. All bones. I personally watched other tables who ordered the sameexact dish (it?s their most popular dish), cut their chicken with forks and knives. My husband didn?t want to complain, he justate what he could and we left. My nachos were very good but, how hard is it to mess up nachos anyway? We will never go backthere which, for us, is sad, as we love and appreciate all culturally authentic cuisine. Read more
