East Tennessee > Casa Don Gallo in Knoxville
Someone tipped us off to this restaurant on Friday and we wound up eating there twice this weekend. It's in the Rocky Hill section of Northshore Drive in the new strip mall.
The two best things we had were the cheese steak quesadillas and the Especial Don Goyo. The latter is fajita-like, and is served in a hot stone bowl set inside a wooden box. It came to the table steaming and was still steaming at the end of the meal as we packed the leftovers into a to-go box.
The service was uncommonly good. The waiter was on the ball, someone else came by to bring us more chips and salsa, someone else came around with a quiet, rechargeable vacuum to clean up as people left, and the hostess came by to check on us.
The portions aren't immense, but the prices are reasonable.
