Gorilla Taco

About Gorilla Taco

Gorilla Taco promises traditional Mexican cuisine that gets “flavor slammed.” Asked why it is called Gorilla Taco, the restaurant simply answers: why not? It describes itself as a couple of local gorillas making Mexican food in Pigeon Forge, with a focus on community, great food, cool vibes and a little bit of the unexpected.

Expect a Mexican wrestling theme, gorilla-sized margarita towers and a menu packed with bold tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Starters include queso made with Monterey Jack and white American cheese and fire-roasted green chiles, and guacamole made with avocado, Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and fresh lime. Gorilla Sticks are flour tortillas rolled with shredded chicken, chorizo, avocado, black beans and cheese, then fried and served with green chili dipping sauce. The house margarita is called the Gorilla-Rita. The restaurant is on Music Mountain Drive, just off the Parkway.
