Well, here we go again.

Another reader has a question for Will Cupp, the Realtor who apparently knows more about eating in the Smoky Mountains than he does about selling houses.

Not true, folks. I've been selling real estate for over 30 years.

Eating? Well, I've been practicing that a whole lot longer. LOL.

This week's question comes from the Jones family. Names changed to protect the innocent, of course. Realtor code of ethics, you understand.

"Will, where's the best Mexican restaurant in Sevierville?"

Oh, my friends, now you're speaking my language.

**Muchacho Alegre Mexican Restaurant, near Lowe's in Sevierville!**

I've eaten at more Mexican restaurants than I could possibly count. There are several wonderful ones throughout Sevier County, but this little place has earned a special spot on my list.

And let me tell you why.

Have you ever left a Mexican restaurant wondering exactly what kind of meat you just ate?

Me too. LOL.

Well, I happened to be driving through Sevierville one morning, probably around six o'clock. Might have been the only Realtor in town awake at that hour. We're hardworking people, but let's not get carried away.

As I passed the restaurant, I noticed what appeared to be a line stretching around the building.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Cows! Chickens! Pigs! Big, strong, healthy animals! And what looked like an ocean of fresh seafood waiting to get inside.

Apparently, the ingredients were lining up for work!

Okay, okay. I made that up.

But after tasting their food, you might believe it yourself.

The meat is flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and the seasoning tells me somebody in that kitchen knows exactly what they're doing.

But here's what really won me over.

**The people.**

The management, the servers, the whole atmosphere. They seem to understand something I learned a long time ago in real estate.

Treat people like you're genuinely glad they walked through your door.

Be kind. Get it right. And if something isn't right, make it right.

That's good business whether you're selling a million-dollar home or serving a plate of enchiladas.

Now, Mexican food is a funny thing. With all those wonderful flavors, your favorite dish might be entirely different from mine.

Well, no. That's probably a lie.

You'll love what I love! LOL.

So whether you're visiting the Great Smoky Mountains, moving to Sevierville, or simply looking for a good meal after spending the day in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, give Muchacho Alegre a try.

And if you happen to drive by around six in the morning, keep an eye out for the livestock.

**You never know. They might be hiring! LOL.**
