From Tacos to Tequilas: A Culinary Adventure at Azul Cantina in Pigeon Forge

Published Aug 16, 2023

Pigeon Forge’s newest restaurant is Azul Cantina, serving Mexican cuisine and featuring the area’s first rooftop bar. Dishes here are inspired by cuisines from Texas to South America, and chefs cook from scratch, using traditional wood-fired grills. Tour this new hotspot with us! 

A Colorful Fiesta Feeling

Even before your first bite, you’ll feel welcome. The restaurant lavishes as much care on your surroundings as it does on your food! Colorful Azul Cantina is full of irresistibly selfie-worthy spots. Don’t miss the flower-decked mural of Tennessee’s patron saint, Dolly Parton. 

Traditional Cooking, Today’s Flavors

Start with one (or more!) of a dozen appetizers including mesquite smoked wings, flautas, tostadas and spicy chorizo sausage. Try the “salsa flight,” three different salsas for you to taste-test with those crunchy tortilla chips. 

Get your taste buds ready for delicious twists. Your favorite burritos, tacos and grilled chicken are here, but why not nosh on tacos stuffed with wild-caught shrimp, pork and pineapple, or tender, braised beef? Fajita lovers can smell the chicken, shrimp or steak fajitas sizzling all the way from kitchen to table. House specials include salmon with ranchero sauce, sirloin with an ancho chili sauce or slow-smoked beef ribs. 

Azul Cantina doesn’t forget Mexico’s sweet side. Finish with cinnamon churros in chocolate sauce, tres leches cake drenched in three rich creams, or crema de chocolate. Don’t skip dessert! 

Incredible Drinks 

Whether you’re here for a meal, appetizers or drinks in the rooftop bar, the drinks list here will amaze you. Save room for margaritas and craft cocktails, wines and American and Mexican beers. The bar features more than 40 tequilas and more than 40 whiskeys for the most discriminating palates. 

Pigeon Forge’s First Rooftop Bar

Order your meal here, or just hang out to relish cocktails or spirits and look at the Smokies and the Mountain Mile!
