VERY GOOD! Our orders came out very fast, very hot and the size of our portions were huge! 4-stars only because the chips were barely warm, but still good and the salsa was spicy like we like it. Definitely going back!

Super small Mexican restaurant. The food was alright and the service was as well. I honestly expected more pizzazz or something. It fit the general connotation of life in Mexico for an Amerixican.

First time eating here. The service was good and our server was great. The food was rough. The cheese dip was very runny. The refried beans were soupy. The food overall was bland and didn’t look satisfying. As for the price, it was outrageous for the small amount of food we ordered. Definitely will not be a place to eat again. More

Seems like every other time we order from this restaurant the food quality is not the best. The beans watery. The rice was dry the Taco shells and the chips was dark and overcooked or the oil needed to be changed. No flavor on the taco meat … More

Went in on a Saturday afternoon for takeout. Friendly staff, quick service. Food was good, could have used a little garden for my tastes but overall was good. The salsa would be hot for some. More

Prices were mediocre, portions were fine, but steak tacos and burritos were very tough and grizzly. Unfortunately, salsa tasted like plain tomato sauce. However, the green sauce was good.

We only do authentic Mexican every once in a blue moon because it’s super duper hit or miss. It can be good or it can be really bad. Both my husband and myself agree that our meal tonight was hands-down the best authentic Mexican meal we have ever had! We got the chicken enchiladas. The chicken was so juicy and tasteful! Service was also great and it was super quick even though they were extremely busy. Great job guys!!

Best mexican food that the Tri-Cities area has to offer. Food portions are generous, staff are fast and friendly. Don't take my word for it when I say this place is far better than what the chain restaurants have to offer.

We were visiting the area on the way to the MLB game at Bristol Motor Speedway and chose them randomly. We were not even a little disappointed! The food was very good. Service was fast. Servers were very nice and kept drinks full. We would recommend and will return if in the area. More

La Corona is our new favorite Mexican in Blountville. Just FYI, they are closed on Mondays, just like most of the other sit-down restaurants in Blountville. The food and service are great. Love the Salsa. You get your fill as the portions are huge and great for how much they charge you. Yum!!!!!!!

The food was so gross. The salsa tasted like ketchup. The beef was soggy and bland. The demographic makes sense as to why the rating is 4.6 though.. at least they know how to appeal.

Salsa is like tomato paste. They have no drink menu, only beer. The waitress refused to serve me because she felt my ID picture was not really me (it was taken like 3 years ago).

La Corona is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the tri-cities area. Their beef for the beef soft tacos is seasoned to perfection.
Just had a tamal for the first time there, and I loved it.
