6 Reasons We Are One of the Most Unique Places to Eat in Pigeon Forge

Looking for unique places to eat in Pigeon Forge? Azul Cantina is the best restaurant for top-notch service and some of the most incredible authentic Mexican cuisine in the Smoky Mountains. Here’s what makes us special:

1. Premium Appetizers

Say goodbye to the greasy chips and flavorless queso. The Azul Cantina appetizers bring the heat with options like fire-roasted salsa, cremiosa salsa, salsa verde, made-to-order guac, and queso con chorizo. Other popular options include the elotes ribs, our twist on Mexican street corn, and a phenomenal tuna tostada made with Saku tuna, chipotle cream cheese, pickled onions, and toasted sesame seeds on a crispy wonton. 

2. Tex-Mex Favorites

We take pride in serving all your favorite Tex-Mex dishes, from tacos and burritos to fajitas and nachos. One of our favorites is the mini chicken changas– chicken tinga, grilled onions, and pepperjack cheese wrapped in flour tortillas and smothered in queso, then topped with lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream. But we also have a few delicious tricks up our sleeves! For example, the Hamburguesa combines two of our favorite things– spice and juicy beef. We make fresh patties and pile them high with Oaxaca cheese, red chili sauce, lime crema, mustard, pickles, and lettuce on a gourmet bun. Roasted jalapenos and thick potato wedges on the side complete this incredible entree.  

3. House Specials

Want something a little special for a date night or special occasion? Another thing that makes us a unique place to eat in Pigeon Forge is the house specials. We offer incredible seafood, beef, and pork entrees that will blow you away! Everyone loves our Mexican Diablo Shrimp and Grits: grilled wild-caught shrimp and queso blanco grits topped with chorizo, enchilada sauce, cilantro oil, and micro greens. Hungry for a steak or chop? We have 2 incredible ribeye dishes grilled on an open wood flame, as well as our Tomahawk Porch Chop that serves 2 people. This massive pork chop is served with Argentinian chimichurri sauce, pickled onion, cilantro, a fajita boat, tortillas, charro beans, and rice. 

4. Authentic Mexican Desserts

We hope you save room for dessert because our churros and tres leches are too good to skip! Our warm cinnamon and sugar churros come with 3 dipping sauces: chocolate, strawberry, and caramel. The star of the show, though, is our tres leches, a traditional vanilla cake drizzled with caramel and smoked flake salt and coated in a three-cream sauce and served tableside. 

5. Mouthwatering Margaritas

In addition to our extensive food menu, you can also find a variety of Azul cocktails. We are most famous for our margaritas, also available frozen! We use top-shelf tequila and fresh ingredients to make the best cocktail of your life, guaranteed. Other cocktail options include our take on an old-fashioned (a blend of bourbon and mezcal), espresso martini (with a house-made chipotle cinnamon syrup), and more. No matter your drink of choice, we have a wine, beer, or liquor that you’ll love! 

6. Rooftop Bar 

Azul Cantina is one of the unique places to eat in Pigeon Forge not just because of the menu but also the location. Situated just behind the Parkway, The Mountain Mile complex on Teaster Lane is the ideal spot for shopping, dining, and entertainment. And the best part– our rooftop bar gives you a bird's eye view of the entire area and the surrounding Smoky Mountain scenery. Whether catching up with friends, celebrating a birthday, or enjoying a meal with your family, our rooftop bar has the best uplifting and relaxing atmosphere!
