El Tapatio

Forget the fancy restaurants and overpriced "gourmet" tacos. This place is the real deal. One of the many taquerias in strip malls on Nolensville Pike - it might not look like much, but the food is awesome!Get the authentic tacos - small street taco size but bursting with flavor. I usually get the al pastor and carnitas tacos, always amazing. This time I also had a chorizo mulita - perfectly crispy yet soft tortillas filled with cheese, avocado , and overflowing with chorizo.They usually have plenty of tables (sit down and get a michelada) in their dining room with beautiful, vibrant paintings, but you can also get your food to go. Service is always prompt and friendly, and make sure you try the spicy and creamy salsa (salsa cremosa in the yellow bottle). Parking lot is small but never had trouble finding a spot. Get some tacos here!

Go here for some authentic Mexican food! Open late, no frills, delicious food. They might even have a mariachi band! Service is friendly and quick.

Late at night.. best place to get the munchies resolved! The chicken tacos are literally filled with meat fresh off the chicken! So be wary of bones. They have the spicy jalapeno sauce as well. Was crazy, it'll be 2:00 in the morning and people are still buying beers with food! I had chicken and shrimp tacos and a mini shrimp sopes. And it totally did the spot!They have inside seating. Or you can sit in your car and eat. If you sit in the car they'll come up to your window to order. Make sure you tip them!

Very mid on flavor and quality, but for the price point, it may be worth a stop. Keep in mind they don't serve margaritas or any liquor, they do have beer. It's a cute restaurant and seems like it has more potential. Service was kind and quick. Found a hair in my drink so that left me with a lil' ick, but oh well.

Looking for authentic tacos? Tacos are delicious and cheap. Service is quick. Small place and it much parking. Recommend: Chicharrón Sope and l pastor tacos

I got three tacos and extra carrots. Unfortunately all three tacos were very bland and not that good. The carrots were a tad mushy and seemed old, not like fresh escabeche at all.

Visited late night on a Thursday after a concert, and while the attention was nice and the prices weren't bad, the food was mediocre at best. We ordered 8 tacos: 2 lengua, 2 chicken, two beef and two pastor's. The lengua ones were fine, the the others were dry and flavorless. The chicken was just roasted chicken thrown on a tortilla, the beef was just whatever, and the pastor tasted like it was just taco seasoning and not made on a trompo.Overall not a horrible experience but I'd have to be desperate to come back.

This place is excellent whether it is for lunch, dinner, or late night! I got 4 small tacos with carne asada, carnitas, birria, and chicharron (pork rinds). They arrange it relatively nicely in the plate and each is 1.25 only! I've never seen such amazing prices in the last few years maybe because I live in California and recently Seattle, but quality is definitely up there. Probably not as good as the LA tacos but here in Nashville, it's pretty good and does the job. What's even better is for each order, you get plenty of sautéed onions as well as a pepper to further fill you up. Overall, value and quality is amazing! However, there are a lot of quirks that first timers will be very intimidating but not something to dock a star off since it's a non-issue once you know, and I surprisingly learned it pretty quickly. 1) Menu has prices and below that have pricier options, but each of the sections you need to pick a meat. The meat that is not listed in the pricier section will be the cheaper price you see at the top of the section. 2) There is a pretty big language barrier so it is good to learn some Spanish for some basic requests like more water, forks, etc3) It seems like you just sit down and then wait for the waiter or waitress to serve you, as long as you acknowledge your presence. They won't direct you to a table - we stood there 5 min awkwardly until a group straight up walked to a table and got menus immediately after4) It seems you pay at the counter, since we never got our checks for 15 min

Absolutely sickening and disgusting. Do NOT eat here. We (my partner and I) just moved into our new home today and ordered some local takeout through DoorDash. We both got the chicken quesadilla. My chicken was pink and his quesadilla had pieces of chicken bone in it. But that was the best part of our meal!As I was eating the rice I looked on my spoon and noticed a bug. We immediately stopped eating our food and threw away an entire meal. We each had a bite of our quesadillas and a couple bites of rice. Now we're nauseous thinking about the fact that we probably just ate a couple bugs, hungry, and just lost about $30 worth of a dinner.

Best tacos I've had in Nashville. Classic taco truck vibe and an inside dinning area. Reminds me of my home. All the servers are great and food comes out quick. Get a side of rice and beans with anything you order. Haven't had better Mexican food anywhere near Tennessee. You're welcome.
