Nectar Urban Cantina

★★★★★ 4.5 (586) • $$

"Happy Cinco de Mayo! I hope I spelled that correctly. It's such a fantastic day to indulge in delicious Mexican cuisine. Nectar Urban Cantina is our go-to spot, not just for their mouthwatering dishes, but also for their excellent service. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, complete with a ramp for those who require it. Plus, you can even bring your furry friends along. They allow dogs outside. And if you're lucky, you might be treated to some incredible live music. Have a great day!"

Mojo's Tacos - Franklin

★★★★☆ 4.1 (418) • $$

"Came for happy hour on a Friday afternoon. The tacos were delicious and the house margaritas $6. I had the friend fish (cod) taco, and my husband had the carnitas taco with a side of black beans. The salsa and chips are fresh and good. The Nashville Hot Chicken tacos were hot but lacked flavor. This place was packed and having to wait to order at the counter was time consuming. I would prefer to come on a night when they're not as busy."

"I was visiting a friend in Clarksville. I'm from Texas so I'm a Mexican food fanatic. This place is a California style Mexican food so it's different from the Tex-Mex that I'm used to but it was delicious. I got the bean nachos. The plate of nachos was enormous and full of toppings. Everything tasted great. The salsa bar has several levels of heat and I especially loved the mild salsa because I cannot handle spice. Loved it so much I went back a second time on my visit."

2 Crazy Fellas

"This restaurant kept popping up in my Yelp recommendations, so, one afternoon we found ourselves nearby and decided to try them out.Now, I gotta tell you. We found out experience there to be pretty good. The wait staff was great. Kept an eye on us in case we needed anything, but also left us alone to marvel at the distinct flavor rushes.Now here's the deal. It's a Cajun restaurant. Some people will post a poor or bad review simply because they have ruined their taste buds from smoking or what-not. Some, probably most, will appreciate the incredible Cajun flavors, like us.All I can say is...try them. Even if you hate Cajun, you'll still enjoy the experience and easy atmosphere.God bless and Thank You for reading this review."

Pancho and Lefty's Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (227) • $$

"Came here randomly after a yelp event. My boyfriend had been raving about this place for awhile. We had our boys (dogs) with us so our options were limited. We sat on the patio with them and ordered quickly before the kitchen closed. I love a good birria taco so I got one of those and queso. My bf got carne asada and chicken tacos. I was not sold on the birria taco. The queso was good and chips were perfect. Love a good thin and crispy chip. His tacos were good; I ended up taking a bite of his. We got spicy margs and oh my- they had a kick. Not my fav spicy marg tho."

Takos Borukas

★★★★★ 4.6 (95)

"Our first time here and loved it. We loved the murials on the walls with all the vibrant colors and beautiful people. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our server was at our table quickly and took our order. They have what i have never seen before at a restaurant, cow tongue taco. It was absolutley delicious. Our server was fantastic and attentive and the food came so quick. I have waited longer at McDonalds for my food. Will be going back."

Taco Nganas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (99) • $$

"Everytime i travel through Memphis this place is an absolute must. The food here is second to none. Everything is made fresh. Everything prepared on the spot. The taste of the food, the prices and the quantity is the reason this restaurant has exploded all over Memphis and it now has several locations."

Guadalajara Taqueria Y Carniceria

★★★★★ 4.5 (90) • $

"Yum! New to Tennessee and Taco Tuesday came and I was craving some Cali-Mex but wasn't getting my hopes up, as my daughter warned me there's no good Mexican food in middle Tennessee. Wrong!!! I had carne asada, carnitas, and a fish taco with a side of rice and beans. All were yummy - I'll probably get just one or two asada next time, but I was hungry. The rice and beans were just like I was used to have in SoCal and the chips were fresh made. Hubby had the asada burrito and "it did not disappoint". He will be back next week, if not before. Prices were fair and portions were a good value. I will be back. Warning - there is a fee to use credit card - but I'm finding that's standard practice here in Tennessee."

The Waffle Taco

★★★★☆ 4.1 (103) • $$

"This is a cute little shop with a menu featuring American and Hispanic breakfast and lunch food. It was pretty busy when we went in but our server was kind and attentive. The food came out a bit intermittently, but it was fun for the kids."

Swankys Taco Shop

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (198) • $$

"Stopped in for lunch/dinner. Got a passionfruit margarita sugar rim,yummy! Happy hour is 3-6 monday thru friday.. decided to get a bowl n got it fully loaded. Steak, fajita veggies, black beans, corn, guac and alot of other toppings. It was pretty quiet this afternoon, I loved it. Watched a lil sports while eating n chatting with my lunch buddy. I couldn't eat it all, so I packed it up. Still delicious... still satisfying..still inexpensive"

West Coast Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (56)

"Came in here for lunch and met a huge line full of hungry people. I ordered the shrimp fajitas that came with sauted bellpeppers, onions and shrimp with a side of beans, rice, guacamole, and corn or flour tortillas. My friend got the shrimp tacos.The favors where good, but the shrimp was over cooked. It was alright and the wait was pretty longOverall, there were lots of people here. I'll try something different off their menu next time."

Victor's Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 3.7 (60)

"This is as close as it gets to San Diego taco shops right here in Bellevue Tennessee. The drive up window is very convenient for her to go orders, but the dining room is clean and ample for a quick bite on the go. I love that they have breakfast burritos available all day and that's typically what I get but every now and then I go for their version of a California burrito or a shrimp burrito. They have kids meal options, which are great for my two children who love a standard bean and cheese and french fries. The red salsa is "no joke" spicy but the green one is very mild and easy to eat with just about anything on the menu."

Panaderia Y Taqueria Andrea

★★★★★ 4.7 (31)

"So, I am kind of obsessed with papusas and who does not love tacos? With dinner finding me seeking an establishment, Andrea Papuseria y Taqueria in Nashville, Tennessee cried out in a primal scream and demanded that I try here.Walking in, I found the place to be a humble establishment. Really, I believe the cooking is outside at the food truck and the inside is just for seating. A business practice that I have seen elsewhere. It maked sense if you already have the food truck as you don't have to pay for a commercial kitchen to be installed. I opted for two papusas and two tacos, one with asada, the other with chorizo. They were delivered in a timely fashion and by a friendly server. They were very golod and the orice points were unbelievable. This whole feast came up with a total price of $8.50.I must say that the best food will be discovered in these hole in the wall restaurants. Not to discredit fine dining, but when you need to find something to not only give you dustenence, but to feed your soul, you will find that food only in places like this.Seek this place out if you are on the east side of Nashville."

Tacos Lopez

★★★★☆ 3.8 (47)

"This is a taco food truck-based restaurant with indoor seating, though we opted for to-go. I got 6 tacos: asada, pastor, chicharron, beef tongue, barbacoa, and carnitas. What's nice is that similar to some taco stands, they give a lot of fixings like jalapeño pepper, grilled green onions, and radish, along with lime, onion, and cilantro, as well as avocado sauce. Tacos themselves are just average with an acceptable amount of meat, decently priced at $1.75 per taco. The issue I had was that the tortillas were soggy, so oil from the al pastor taco seeps through the entire dish."

Mini Mart

★★★★★ 4.7 (24)

"The food is legit. Tacos are good and so are the el pastor burritos.Supporting small businesses is my deal.So I will be returning for more tacos."

Taco Nganas

★★★★☆ 4.3 (22) • $$

"If you're a bit skeptical because of the looks and location ignore those thoughts, this place is delicious! They do get a bit busy around lunch (12ish) so I would recommend coming a little earlier or later. My go-to is the shrimp tacos. They have so much flavor and the slaw you get on the side is delicious. I'm not a big slaw girl, but squeeze that fresh lime you get it and I'm sold me. They are decent size tacos, not too small, so I get two and I'm pretty comfortable. I've also tried the burrito and MAN, is that thing huge! I got two solid meals out of that. It's delicious and very filling! You wont regret trying it. If you order a drink they have coolers outside you just grab from as well. Highly recommend trying a lunch here."

El Tequila Taqueria

★★★★★ 4.5 (20)

"Generous portions cooked to perfection. Authentic tacos with a taco bar to dress them however you like. Romantic setting and comfortable benches. Even ordering for pick up is a pleasure with take home portions that match in size to dine in. All the staff are friendly and helpful. You must try here! Best Mexican food in Gallatin!"

Cinco de Mayo Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (29)

"Used this location to prepare lunch for one of my doctor's offices and they did an amazing job. They really paid attention to detail and provided everything I asked for. Very professional staff and great ambiance as well! Everyone loved the food"

New Wing Order

★★★★★ 4.5 (19)

"I experienced New Wing Order while visiting Meddlesome Brewery for drinks. The guy who took our order was very nice and helpful. I ordered the Buffalo Blue Loaded fries because I really do get excited when I see fries that will be covered in queso! They didn't disappoint either. It was a really nice portion size and it was very good! I added chicken to my order. We didn't have to wait on our food at the truck. They were kind enough to bring it to us inside of the brewery. Oh! My husband had the hot wing nachos but with no pico or cilantro. He enjoyed it!"

Tacoholic

★★★★★ 4.6 (16)

"I rarely do food trucks. My problem is that I'm in my van 3 hours or so every day and I don't want to eat in it. And I work outside so I want a table inside to eat. But this truck is paired up with an ice cream or something store and I think you can eat in there. I almost asked but decided it would be alright to eat in the van this one time. I love cheese so I got a quesadilla. It was incredible. I got the carne asada and it was tender and seasoned just perfect with lots of flavor. The cheese they use is thick and also has lots of flavor. The quality is really there. This was a step above many restaurants."

Pie Town Tacos - East Nashville

★★★★★ 4.8 (10)

"Another taco spot in east Nashville that is a must stop. First off support the local joints. Secondly the food here is stupid good and fresh. Order on the iPads and the food is brought out insanely fast. The queso is top tier and the hot chicken tacos are an absolute show stopper."

Ladybird Taco

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"Came by since I didn't get a chance to try it when there was a Yelp event, but it's been on my radar ever since! It's the corner building of a little strip mall that's in progress, and they have parking out back, free for customers. The menu here is really....unusual. There's coffee & breakfast tacos, but also margaritas and bbq style tacos and salads. So, quite a mix. They close at 4pm, too, so more like coffee shop hours. Despite the identity crisis, inside was really clean and the food was really good! I got the #8 Taco; a lunch taco with brisket, avocado, and pico de gallo. This was outrageously good and had plenty of food! I don't normally love brisket, but I liked that it didn't have cheese and just wanted to try one. It came in a flour tortilla and it was good with any of the three salsas they have available. I really liked the jalapeño sauce, which was actually dairy-free, too. I also got the City Slicker Salad with no cheese. It was all pretty good, but it's kind of a take-out joint and they don't chop the salad! Why? It's so much easier in the kitchen with a giant counter versus in a full bowl with a plastic knife."

Music City Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"Not sure how long this place has been open because there is nothing about this place in Yelp, aside from its name.Ordered food for delivery from this place as I had been busy all day and didn't cook. I have visited a couple gyro places here in the area and they all seem to do a fairly good job taste wise. I decided to go with the "cone" gyro, as they do offer it as a plate and you have to put everything together yourself. Not only was my gyro a lot bigger than most places in the area I had been to prior to this, but it was also a lot more delicious. Mind you it was a bit on the warmer side and not so hot anymore from the time it took to deliver it, yet it still tasted delicious. Def plan on visiting this location in person to see what all they have to offer!!"

Copa Cabana

★★★★☆ 3.9 (9) • $

"Karaoke on Fridays in the most divey establishment with pool and darts. It's not a place to bring someone you would want to impress, but if you want to just grab some drinks with some old friends and chat with people who are way too intoxicated, this may be your place."

31W Bar And Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"Decent place to grab a burger, sandwich, or appetizer. Friendly staff, quick service."

La Capital Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"My wife and I came to the restaurant a few years ago when it was Santa Rosa. So while in town we decided to stop by. We were surprised to see the name is now La Capital and under new management but still the same familia. The food was amazing as we remember. Fajitas combo is a lot of food and you won't be disappointed. The cheese steak burrito is also a show stopper. Guarantee you won't say a word other than "authentic!" Pair the meal with a jumbo margarita and el fin! Oscar was awesome and the perfect host for the afternoon. We will come again and would highly recommend."

Mississippi Old Town Taco

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Olive Branch newest Taco SENSATION!!Just kidding, they have been here a while. These fine folks were formally know as "Tacoholic", maybe they still are in the truck, not sure. If I am being honest, they were better off in the truck. It had better visibility. It was right there on 178. You can't find this place even if you really want to. There is no sign in the parking lot, on the building, on the door to the entrance, nothing at all. In fact, the day we came, there was a freaking fish fry in front of their door that blocked access. I thought my wife was wrong, apparently she follows them on some shit and knew the speakeasy password. It was also actually cooler outside (outside temp was 94) than inside this place. We ate at the bar and I almost melted. It may have been that devil salsa that also contributed some as well. Anyway, my point is, eating in my car is more comfortable than inside here any day until November comes. The family is nice, I have always loved this place and Frutanas as well. The dude that waited on us was nice too. Not nice enough to wipe my sweat. Speaking of... loose ass Waffle House style napkins are not the move OTTC!! I want them to thrive but between the no signage and obvious ongoing A/C issues this and all places in the brick barn are having, it's gonna be tough. Should put the damn trailer in the parking lot at least. Geez. Food was decent. I liked the cheese dip, other dips were meh. Burrito was not as good as the truck version. Salsa isn't as good as the trucks. Beans were old and stiff. Four starts because they are good people. Needs improving all around. '24 - 57/100"

Wok Master

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"What a nice surprise, who would expect to find first class Chinese food in Cornersville fer chrisakes?First time here, limited menu, eat in or take out. My first thought was the dishes were a little expensive until my Happy Family was delivered, it would have fed 3-4 people, still have plenty of rice left over for fried rice. Nice clean environment, if you plan to dine in bring your own silver, the cheap plastic forks aren't much use. They have now installed a hot bar that is open for lunch with one entree and one side for $9.99. The staff is great and very accommodating, I plan to be a regular here. Bravo!"

Elwood's Shack

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"We had their platter that had a little bit of everything. I personally am not a fan of BBQ but my husband and dog are, and Elwood's were their request. I actually loved it all. I've tried BBQ in Texas and Louisiana, this place was de-li-cious. Very worth it"
