Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I would have given a 3.5 rating. Food was good. Atmosphere not so much. Just needs a good spiffing up with cleaning and maybe fresh paint. I don’t expect luxury but the food deserves better surroundings. Could be a 4+. Employees were great. Friendly and...attentive.More

I had hoped to go to the Seafood restaurant but it was closed as we arrived late, so this was our second choice. However, after eating here, it should be your first. Staff was very gracious welcoming us in even though it was late. The...waiter helped us with a few recommendations on tacos and there were excellent. In fact some of the best I have every had. Overall this was a great meal and it did not cost us much as other options. If in Kingsport, I highly recommend you eat here and your taste buds will thank me.More

As we sat down, the waiter immediately presented us with free chips and salsa. His service throughout the lunch was very attentive. After we ordered, our food was presented to us fairly quickly. The white cheese dip we ordered was a nice pair to the...free salsa. The chorizo (Mexican sausage) was packed with flavor and delicious in both taco and burrito form! Our fried fish (tilapia) meal was BIG, at $11, was cooked perfectly, with a nice crunchy, salty taste. Additionally, everything we ordered was very reasonable priced. I will be coming back here again, and with as many options as they have, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed!More

Hipsters love this place for being ‘authentic’, but personally I find the food average. The Mexican style tacos are different for sure over the typical Tex mex

While visiting, I visited twice & had shrimp tacos both times, Mexican style w avocado, cilantro & radishes. Fantastic flavor w a messy sauce that was worth using a handful of napkins. Would like to try more menu items.

Food here is so good, probably one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. So good we ordered a second! Portions are great and value for money! The service was just as great as the food. Honestly a must for anyone visiting Kampot!
