For Nashville, this Mexican restaurant is pretty good. I'm from LA so I've tasted some amazing Mexican food so coming to Nashville I was kind of disappointed about the Mexican food I've tasted so far being here, but this restaurant is solid. carne asada meat wasn't too dry and the beans and rice were also well seasoned maybe a little too salty and the salsa was solid as well. Overall, the carne asada plate was a well rounded option!

Was tired of fried chicken,biscuits and needed a plate if rice,beans, birria and tortillas..yelp brought us here..didn't disappoint..the birria was easily shredded with a fork and the sauce was excellent.Not sure but it seemed like the corn tortillas were made in house..soft and food corn flavor...the service was good and we left happy...definitely recommend

Best Birria Tacos I've had in the 615!1) Their tacos are huge!2) lots of cheese and meat!3) very flavorful consommé (aka what you dip the tacos in)Birria is Not on the menu, gotta ask! The outside maybe underwhelming/nonchalant, but Inside is very nice, and charming! Staff is nice, great salsa, thick horchata, we've been back several times, and now the coworkers go here! still great everytime! Give this place a try!!

Back in Nashville for another visit and went back for more great food. Restaurant was packed on a Saturday night and waited a short time before being seated.Wife ordered the chili rejenos, and I went all in on menudo , a traditional Mexican soup. Both meals came with yellow corn tortillas along with chips and salsa. Everything was perfect seasoned, and excellent. We didn't stay long, but this place is constantly delivering great Mexican food. If you're in the area, give this local business a try, you won't be disappointed!

Solid Mexican place. It won't ever get 5 stars just simply because it's not authentic but it knows that and delivers good food. Their burritos are really great.

I've been seeing the birria taco all over social media and really wanted to see what all the fuss is about. So I did a search in East Nashville and found this cozy, hole-in-the-wall restaurant and decided to give them a try. When I showed up today, the parking lot was packed and the restaurant full (I got mine to go). I was immediately greeted by a very friendly gentleman and my order was taken within minutes. I was then given my hot, out of the fryer tacos to go within 15 minutes. All of that was great. And as I stood by the door waiting for my food, I observed other diners in the establishment. They were all very happy and their tables were full of all different types of entrees, including many birria tacos. Obviously, folks are a fan of these at this restaurant. However, I am not a fan of this particular taco. The cook here made mine the authentic way, I'm pretty darn sure. It was deep-fried, meaty cheesy, deliciousness, if you're into that kind of thing. For me, I felt like I had gone out all night long on a bender and had stopped at a greasy spoon Diner to pick up the greasiest menu item to ward off the impending hangover I knew I was going to have (no, I have not been hitting the bottle today.) That's how these tacos tasted to me. And that liquid that came with the order that I dipped my tacos into was off the charts greasy...but good. I just couldn't get down with it after 2. I gave up on the third one and just ate the beef out of the inside. It was rather yummy, moist and flavorful, and while I'm not necessarily still hungry, I'm not necessarily full. I may have to eat a small salad to compensate for all that grease.Anyway, if you're into these types of tacos, do come here and try them. I am sure mine were made very well and will be what you're expecting. I'm going to come back here at a time they're less busy and order something a little healthier. Hey, at least I tried.Note: do not try to park in their parking lot if they're super crowded because it is a nightmare trying to get out. Just grab street parking.

Needed to take a much needed break from the typical Nashville food fare and decided to come here based on some locals' recommendation for authentic Mexican food! The server was super friendly and helpful when answering our questions.We got the birria tacos and a couple of the soft tortilla tacos as well. Everything was really well priced and delicious. The birria tacos came in piping hot and fresh. The quesabirria tacos are crunchy, savory, and packed full of stewed, flavorful, tender beef. The soup/consommé was light and tasted of beef. My friend really liked putting in some lime juice into it and drinking it by itself too when she wanted to lighten up the meal following some heavy tacos. Delicious!!!

We wouldn't have stayed but the party we met there had already ordered something. Disgustingly dirty and they cannot possibly pass a health inspection in that condition. And we were overcharged. Do not go here.
