El Sonador Mexican Restaurants

This was our first time eating at El Soñador Mexican Restaurant. A staff member at a nearby hotel recommended them and we are glad he did. The food was excellent, what I feel authentic Mexican food should be. The service and atmosphere were also very good. I had the Piña Loco, which was fabulous.Vegetarian options: Some non-meat and seafood dishesDietary restrictions: Staff will help with restrictions you make them aware ofParking: Several paid lots in areaKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Elevator and fully accessible

Best Mexican food I have had in a long time. Fresh chips with good salsa. Ordered several items from the menu, all were great. Our server, Roxy, was perfect. We look forward to many more return visits.

Food was just ok. Lacks seasoning and flavor. Atmosphere was okay until photographer who bothers you about pictures then wants to charge $60. Then when she noticed the $5 tip we left for the server she stated $5 for one pic. That’s very unprofessional. The wings were awful. No margaritas.

Above average Mexican Restaurant right in Gatlinburg.The chips were fresh and the salsa had good flavor, could have been a little hotter.I had a Chimichanga, came with rice and beans. The Chimi was good (not great, but good), had a lot of meat. The beans were great, often overlooked by some restaurants.NOTE: They don't have liquor here, beer and wine only.There is no onsite parking, but plenty of options on the strip.I would go back again.

Did they ever bring back the Salsa Bar? That was best part of my visit! Their regular table salsa in bland and purée
