Finally... A burrito that comes close to what we used to get back in California! We've been…read moresearching for so long and I had honestly given up multiple times, but like all great explorers, we endured and persevered. Taqueria Lupita is a great spot nestled inside a gas station market. As soon as we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. The smell of meat on the griddle and the aroma of toasted tortillas met our noses and it made my mouth instantly start salivating. The team behind the counter was working fast and got our order out super quick. I opted for a chicken burrito and it took all of my self control to keep from eating it on the drive home. But like all great explorers of old, we had to take our bounty back to the motherland for all to enjoy. I cut it open and see what the cross section looked like, and it was practically perfect. I forgot to ask for avocado, so that's on me. We got the red and green salsas with it and they were both great. I loved the roasty undertones and heat of the red salsa. The first bite of this burrito took me back to another place, far from Tennessee. It was a glorious first bite. The melty cheese, the rice, beans and the chicken combined to make the most delicious symphony of flavors. I can't say enough good things about this burrito, you have to try it for yourself. I'm eager to try more things on their menu, especially the torta, it looked amazing.

As soon as we saw the (previously Oakland) Raiders logo, we knew it was gonna be good! I got the steak (asada) burrito - it came with rice, beans, meat, sour cream, and lettuce. If I had to give a critique, I'd say it's just missing a little guac. But oh my word, this burrito transported me right back to California! The flavors were spot on, the ratios were perfect. It may have taken us five years, but we finally found a Mexican spot that will definitely be in our rotation. It's located inside a small gas station, which confused us at first. But once we walked in, it was clear where to order. Both guys working seemed extremely kind and helpful, and overall just happy to be serving people incredible food.

As someone from SoCal where there's good tacos on every corner, this place definitely satisfies those cravings. Price wise I felt it was very fair, everything pictured was around $34. They were very quick with the food and kind to answer our question! Environment is super clean as well. Happy to say we have a spot for tacos now close to home.

The other two in my party (also from SoCal) straight up didn't finish their meals. That is not to say the food wasn't good. I personally liked the carnitas tacos I had. I don't like tomatoes however the pico de gallo on these were delicious. I wish I had room to eat the other uneaten items. I wish I had been able to try the pastor tacos. That would have been a good test. Maybe next time. Service was good but average. It was close to closing time and they were mopping the floor so the prevailing smell was that of cleaner rather than tasty food. The floor was clean!

After running the Zoo Fun Run Run we (my hubby, our spawn and I) were stuck on Nolensville Pike…read moretraffic feeling hungry and not really in the mood for bumper to bumper traffic. Then the taco gods brought my attention to the sign "El Tacontento" right away I cracked up because as a Spanish speaker El Tacontento or EL ESTA CONTENETO means "he is happy". The play on words gave me a tickle and right away pulled into their drive way to park. As we walked up the driveway you could smell the delicious Al Pastor roasting on the trompo outside the shop. Now since moving out to Tennessee my expectation for authentic Mexican tacos have lowered significantly and wasn't expecting to be blown away, I was just expecting to enjoy the food (I was hungry after all). As a proud Mexican and taco lover there is a mental list I have that qualifies a taco stand/shop as authentic. First: the restaurant itself isn't pretty but keep in mind a great taco stand/shop its the quality of food that will speak louder than the interior. Secondly a good sign of great tacos is the garnish station, they have a station with pickled jalapeños, salsas, sliced limes, sliced cucumber all which you are encouraged to grab as much as your little heart desires. Third there has to be an overly enthusiastic taco master, the taqusita. Here's what one needs to understand, the person's energy that prepares your food get transferred to your food. That's why good soul food nourishes your soul, and a great taquero(taco master) will transport your taste buds. The family at "El Tacntento" definitely puts their heart into the food. I was starve'n like Marvin and shamelessly ordered 7 tacos, I had lengua (tongue), carnitas (fried pork), Al pastor (seasoned pork), cabeza (head), Chicharron (stewed pork rind), barbacoa(stewed beef) and of course Asada (grilled steak). OH MY GOSH SO GOOD!! Okay I will admit I wasn't a fan of the cabeza but its a texture thing for me, but I can not deny the seasoning was good never the less. Overall "El Tacontento" definitely has sets the bar for authentic and great priced tacos in Nashville. We can officially say this will be our go to place when we are in the area!

The Ambiance of the place is pretty chill for it being next to and connected to the gas station. In my photo is a Carne Asada Grande Burrito with Guacamole, Sour Cream, lettuce, tomato and cheese. With every bite came a flavor explosion of the many different items that was in the burrito. The flour tortilla was fried to perfection that with every bite you could hear the light crunch.

I popped in one day after running errands around Murfreesboro and when I first saw that it was an old BK converted into Mexican restaurant, I thought to myself this is either going to be distrusting or delicious, and lucky for me it was the latter! El Cubilete serves up authentic Mexican food, and while you can still get the classics you are used to, they focus a lot on the true Mexican classics. Being the gringo I am, I went with my tried and true chicken, rice and cheese sided with some chori-queso. While the order was basic, the food itself was not. The queso, chips, chicken, tortillas and everything was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. To with the food, they brought out their house red and green sauce. SPICY is an understatement, but I could handle in small dabs, and through that realized while the green was milder, the red had better flavor. But honestly it was lose-lose for me with those sauces. In addition to the food, they have a small drink menu with beers, frozen drinks and a solid selection of agua frescas. Service was stellar. The owner was super kind, welcoming me in, checking on me during my meal and ultimately ringing me out. All the servers were friendly and helpful. Overall, odd layout and set up, along with service being communal (everyone serves everyone together), which is a bit odd...but even with all that, the food and service speak up and stand alone. Great spot with good folks and tasty food! I would certainly swing back through when in Murfreesboro.

We ordered a margarita tower, which was advertised for 37.99. Only six out of the seven of us drank from it and told the waitress to spilt it six ways. That means it would roughly be 6.33 a person. She charged us 7.50 a person meaning she charged us $45. With the liquor tax on there it would roughly be $7 per person. I understand it's only a fifty cents difference, but the attitude we got from the waitress was unacceptable. So not only did we get charged more than we should have, we all ordered water on top of that and she only refilled ONE of the waters ONCE. We also did not see a sign where it said and 18% gratuity will be added to party's six or more. So we requested for it to be removed because we believe the waitress did not do a good job. Like I said only filled one water out of seven once. She proceeded to argue with my boyfriend about it. We will definitely not be back!
