Tres Amigos

It’s hard for me not to feel like I’m pulling up to Blockbuster to rent some videos. That’s what this space used to be. I had a decent time this last time there. I ordered huevos rancheros and it was ok. I’m not a big fan of their sauce but it was ok. The brought my table’s food out all except mine, and the server never acknowledged that mine was still coming or anything. We had to ask to make sure that she was going back to grab my food.
So there is no Chile to their con Queso. It’s just melted cheese with nothing else. Also I’m pretty sure the guacamole is from a tub. Tasted and looked like it anyway.
The atmosphere is pretty dark inside. Not much lighting. But there is plenty of seating. The parking situation is not easy. It’s a pretty tight and awkward parking lot.

We go here fairly often. Not because it’s so good but because it’s convenient. Sometimes the food is good and other times it’s just edible. There are only a cpl waitresses that are good. A lot of the others we’ve had in the past would let you thirst to death. But a cpl of them do a good job.

This place is up and down. Been for lunch and it was great, just went with a party of 9 for dinner and it was terrible. Terrible service, food was cold.

Great food, excellent service this will be a weekly stop.

Average mexican food, nothing special. I got the tres amigos special. Flavorful but could have used more cheese. The salsa was okay a bit chuncky for my taste. Only complaint was we went on a sunday afternoon so we know it was busy. We had a table of 8. We were seated very quickly but the mgr kept hovering around the table bc the rest of our table wasn’t there and it was obvious he wasn’t happy. Other than that service was fast and food was average.

This place was as cheaply remodeled as a place can be, with an extremely plain ambiance. Not a whole lot was done to it since it was a Blockbuster.
The menus had dried food inside them and I killed a fruit fly as I was reading it… True story. There was visible dust, and the table was not wiped down well at all. The kicker: they water down their margaritas to make them «two-​for-​one»… Seriously. The server actually told us that when we told him that they tasted watery.
And the «Chile Rellano» was NOT by any means Chile Rellano. Instead, it was a plate of meat with a large halved Chile laying over it, and a little bit of cheese melted on top.
I do not know why there was a single car in the parking lot. I have over seven years experience in the restaurant industry, and I truly never complain about restaurants. But this experience was simply terrible, overall.

We love this place. It is our go to place for Mexican. Good salsa, good food, large portions and great service. It is large enough to have big groups. We have never left disappointed. Prices are good. Really worth your time and money.

Very good nachos! Wife ordered one of the vegetarian meals and was very satisfied. Left stuffed and happy. Best Mexican food in the Collegedale-​Ooltewah area in my opinion.

Average Mexican restaurant that satisfies taste for Mexican good. My friend suggested going here right after the video store closed. Well, we have been back occasionally when we want Mexican in Ooltewah.
It’s pretty convenient to get to since it is right off one of the main roads here in Ooltewah.

It was a later Sunday night and my family was looking at trying something local (Southern Burger which was our first choice to try closes early on Sunday) so we tried Tres Amigos. It would have been better for us to get Taco Bell across there street.
The Chips and Salsa is immediately how any Mexican restaurant is judged, and judging by this — we weren’t in for a good night. The chips were fine, nothing special, but the salsa was nothing short of just cold stewed tomatoes with some red pepper sprinkled in, yuck. No onions, no cilantro, nothing but tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Glad we ordered a side of cheese dip instead.
Before I get to our meals let me just say this place has about zero ambiance and feels like a warehouse.
The dinners weren’t half bad to tell the truth but nothing special. I’m glad a family of 4 could eat for 30 + tip and fill up but after seeing the salsa my mind was a bit suspect of the rest of the meal. What put my tastebuds on halt was the glass of water I had, which tasted like it came out of a bathroom faucet — I sipped it because I had to but at the very least I can report that nearly 24 hours later none of us have been sick, but that’s not how you should rate a restaurant.
With may other options in Ooltewah this will be my one and only stop here.

Always want Mexican soup on a cold snowy day but don’t go here for their soup– Frozen vegetables in their soup YUK. Salsa good quesadilla was good Atmosphere boring
