Taqueria Azteca

A key thing to note is not all Hispanics cook the same so things will taste different. This place cooks their food fresh. I'm use to more seasoned Mexican food so this isn't somewhere I'd eat again. The lettuce in the burrito threw me off, I expected cabbage. The salsa they have is very tasty. The rice is lacking in flavor and was wet tasting.

Came here unplanned for a quick bite and was blown away!!! Hole in the wall vibe, quick service. $2 per taco, each plate comes with some side veggies and lime. We got four carnitas, one chorizo, and one carne asada taco. Would say 3-4 is definitely enough for meal, 1-2 is good for a snack. Super flavorful and savory with a nice crunch added by the onions and cilantro atop each taco. Loved the outdoor seating as well. Make sure to wash your hands well after because the taco smell definitely lingers on your fingers for longer than expected...

Taqueria Azteca is a veritable institution on the west side, and we are no strangers to their home-grown, delicious menu. We had a bit of a wait for a to-go item, but I never mind that: they ran out of one of the meats we were hoping for, but I figured whatever tacos they made would be fresher as a result. (I was right, and we were floored by all the food made for us). It is an absolute requirement for us to get horchata whenever it's offered on the menu, and this visit was no exception. It was the perfect pairing with our al pastor, carnitas, and chorizo tacos. We also indulged in a fantastic torta; they don't skim on the veggies, lime, or salsa here. The salsa roja and salsa verde seemed like they were made in-house and fresh. The spice within them was the perfect amount of heat. There is a sizeable private lot if you're meeting a larger party, and there were several different table sizes ranging from four to eight-ish parties. There are also outdoor picnic table options available when the weather gets cooler.This one is not to miss.

Great price and delicious tacos! For $2 per taco, I ordered a delicious meal of 4 tacos for a lunch that had me full! The carne asada was well seasoned and the salsa was absolutely delicious! I also ordered a side of chips and salsa and the chips were made fresh, and the guacamole was delicious. I highly recommend trying out this spot. I think I've just found my new favorite taco shop!

Their carne asada tacos are the one!!! I highly recommend this place and the staff here is very nice!

Tacos 5 star! The steak tacos are just like I had in Mexico. On the smaller side but are also less than $2 each. Meat is well seasoned and they came out with the usual toppings plus caramelized onions. The rest of what we got was average. The bbq in the empanada was fatty and the outside was more like a savory hand pie than an empanada crust. The nachos were nothing to write home about (I have a soft spot for nachos and had to try them.)Go here and get some great tacos. They have some picnic tables outside a covered patio and seating inside. The staff was very friendly and quick.

I came here after a yelp suggestion when on the west side. They have since improved the place inside since my first visit more than a year ago. They have improved the flooring and tables. I always get a Huarache with a single taco. The light green jalapeno sauce as is standard at a lot of taco joints is my go to. I re-visited the place last night because I was hungry. My only concern was the carne asada (that is the filling I asked for) sometimes had a bit of the hardness (cartilage) in it. Other than that I devoured my plate. They are implementing covid precautions. They do have outdoor seating (despite what is said here) but since its winter it may be hard to get service out there - I am sure if you told the hostess you wanted to eat outside they would oblige since the outside trailer is where the food is made. (I am assuming)I would return here. We are so blessed to have good Mexican food here in Nashville.

I start this with a warning. If you like Tito's, Las Palmas, and the other sodium heavy Amerimex places in town, you will likely abhor this food. You will call it bland because you can actually taste beans due to the lack of over salting. And you will find strange things on the menu that look nothing like tacos and burritos. You have been warned.When I went, the kitchen was the taco truck in front. Not sure if that is the norm or not, but it is possible they don't have a real kitchen inside (although it appears there is space). The location, which is on American across from the Aldi (just off Charlotte), used to be a pool shop, which cut their space down and rented to Taqueria Azteca (i.e. pool shop still there in the other half of the building). The menu? I personal love Central American food, so this is my jam. I will describe what I had with an analogue of the food (the description is a bit incorect, but gives you an idea). I had mulitas (a tostada"sandwich"), a sope (puffy tostada (fried corn meal, masa) with toppings), and a huarache (kind of tostada, but with much different toppings and texture). I have since grabbed a ham torta (sandwich) and some empanadas (dinner turnovers?). Feelings about the food? Very simple, but nicely done. As I warned the flavors are more natural and none of it is overly salted. This is more akin to authentic food of the region. The place? A bit of a hole in the wall with a taco truck in front. Very simple inside. Not the sit down and have great table service, but this is for the food, not the service. Service was great, as well, although knowing a bit of spanish sure helped with the ordering. At this point, this is one of my favorites in the area, as it is not pure Mexican and definitely not Amerimex.

Chicken Quesadilla was dry and had no cheese. I asked for more cheese and she stated " that's the way it comes" which is not TRUE. As a Hispanic this is embarrassing and the first restaurant we stopped at in Nashville.

Awesome tacos and very cheap. I love cheap tacos. They also gave me two types of salsas that were good and spicy. $2 tacos, cant beat it
