My friend and I went here on 11/14/08, and both enjoyed it. She had the Mexican Pizza, I had a cheese enchilada dish. The margarita's were tasty, but nothing spectacular. Our server was very nice and polite. The salsa was very fresh and good. But if you don't like cilantro, you won't like the salsa. The only complaint is that... more

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews of this place, my husband and I had a great experience here. The salsa was very good and fresh, and our entrees (enchiladas and burritos) were really good. I would definitely eat here again! more

This is our favorite restaurant anywhere. We love Gatlinburg and the Pigeon Forge area and we love going down there at Christmas time to see all of the lights. No Way Jose's is wonderful. We highly reccomend the "outrageous". In fact I ask my parents when they go down to TN to bring me one back on ice (they don't)... more

This is the second time for us to "No Way Jose" and first time in Gatlinburg. The food just wasn't very good. Plain and simple. Atmosphere, wait staff, location all good. But we would seek out better mexican food next time. more

My husband and I have been to Gatlinburg quite a few times and just love it. When the water is high in the stream next to No Way Jose's it has such a great view all around. The food is just OKAY. Not bad, but not good. Never really had a problem with the service. We go back to No... more

I am not a restaurant critic, however I would not recommend this one. I liked the location so much I was stupid enough to go there twice. The first time my wife and I attended I tried to shrug off the bad service, bad food, and uninterested staff as a bad "first time" experience. A few months later we were... more

Where do I start.... When I walked into the door I had a bad feeling.. The door attendants were obviously not interested in much of anything. Although there was no line...it took about five minutes for us to be seated. While the EXTERIOR of the builded gives off a fun/festive flair, interior ambiance/decor fair at best and kinda drab. Waitress...refilled... more

My family has been going to Gatlinburg for years, and we'd never tried No Way Jose's even though I'd always wanted to. This year as we were driving by at lunchtime we saw that there was parking available (which is a plus in Gatlinburg) so we stopped for lunch. Staff: Awful. They may not be awful all the time, and... more

This resturant looks great from the outside and the inside is just as nicely furnished, but the food was not the greatest. I've had better Mexican food for half the price in my own hometown. I really enjoy Mexican food, but I wasn't impressed at all with this food. Definatly reconsider because there are so many other wonderful places to... more

The perfect location for an afternoon snack being right next to the Aquarium. I personally loved the unique chips and drinks. We only had an appetizer, but it was great. Will definitely eat there the next time we are in Gatlinburg. more
