We stopped by on our way to Dollywood and were not disappointed. Great food, fair prices, and huge beers! Our waiter was fantastic and the food come out super fast. Very pleased with our visit.

We had a craving for Mexican and just happen to be by this place.... we judge them mainly on the salsa and chips. We knew ince we tried theirs this was going to be good. Chips and salsa both tasted great, salsa was fresh with...awesome flavor and chips were hot and crispy. Had the Taco salad and it had amazing flavor and was not water logged like some places. The staff was very friendly and checked on us regularly. Next time we are in town we will be back.More

Very good Mexican food, very friendly staff, all for very fair prices. With so many places to eat in Pigeon Forge it would be easy to miss this place, but we were very glad we found it.

We come here every time we visit Pigeon Forge. All of the dishes we have had have been very good. The service is fast, the food tastes great, and the location is a bit out of the hustle and bustle of the center of town....The only thing lacking is the parking. It's a bit hard to come by, but we've always found a place. We'll definitely be back to Pigeon Forge, and we'll definitely be back to El Ranchero Loco.More

My two sons and I came in an hour before closing and the restaurant was still very busy. We were seated right away and given warm chips and salsa. Both were excellent. My sons ordered guacamole and it was a huge serving. We all ordered...various enchiladas and they were fabulous. I have a food allergy and they were very accommodating. I had enough food left over for breakfast the next morning. Next time I’m back in Pigeon Forge I’ll be back for the best Mexican food outside of California or Mexico. Staff was very friendly and quick. The restaurant was immaculate.More

We were very disappointed that there were no margaritas. They did have Mexican beer. The food and service were okay but not great.

Food and service was just okay. The place was loud and noisy and kinda a dump. But what proper Mexican restaurant doesn’t serve Margaritas!! This one doesn’t. I couldn’t believe it. Beer only. My recommendation is go somewhere else for Mexican.

Just the normal, nothing special. Food was very greasy, didn’t serve the guacamole with my meal which was supposed to be on it. When asked about it was told they have to throw too much away. I should have been at least asked !

We have eaten here on several occasions and the food has always been spot on. We decided we wanted something a little different and just happened to notice someone being served a huge fried chicken breast with a sauce on top, had to ask......server said...the name but best described it as Honduran Chicken. We had to try it. While waiting We munched on an excellent chunky homemade Guacamole which was delicious. When the Chicken arrived we were greeted with a huge bone on Breast, fried to perfection and sauced with a very favorable sauce. Served with fried Plantains and a Cabbage Slaw with pickled Red Onions. By far the best plate of food not on the menu. We will be back.More

This was so good that my husband and I ate here twice in our 5 days in Pigeon Forge. We both had the steak chimichanga the first time and I switched to fajitas the second time. Both dishes were fantastic! Their complimentary chips and salsa...were really yummy too! I highly recommend this restaurant! You won't be disappointed!More

This was one of the best experiences of my life in terms of restaurants. They serve chips and home made salsa. However, the drinks took a bit too long as we had to wait about 5 minutes to get them while smoldering from the sauce...(we don't do well with spicy.) However the food came very quickly, which normally means it wont be very good and as it looks sketchy from the outside we believed it might have been a bad decision. However, we started eating and realized it was actually amazing. The meat and steak were clearly cooked well and not microwaved that small establishments typically do. The portion size was enormous and had enough to even be boxed. The waiters were generous and sincere, though accented they clearly put in an effort to get you to understand in a nice way. 10/10 restaurant would highly recommend.More

Had fajitas. Tough and no flavor. No margaritas, just beer. Fajita nachos were bland with very little cheese. No flavor
