This is great to find out about all the taquerias that have sprung up in Knoxville! I bet it was a blast doing the research! I'm guessing the writer perhaps wasn't born yet in the late 70's/early 80's when there were two awesome Mexican restaurants on Kingston Pike: Mexicali Rose, operated by a wonderful family from New Mexico- it was very popular & had authentic New Mexican cuisine, and El Palenque, another great place on Bearden Hill- (now a Soccer Taco). In Fort Sanders in the late 70's, I remember a couple of excellent Mexican restaurants as well- the Tacomaker & another cool little place that was on Forest Avenue.
