It makes for a great dining experience. I always start my meal with an El Jefe Margarita, and it never disappoints. It's one of my favorites! Be sure to order the queso to go with the chips and salsa. The chips are always served warm, fresh, and perfectly crisp. For my entrée, I never pass up the Sizzling Baja. It's loaded with tender chicken and shrimp, all covered in an incredible tomato sauce that is absolutely delicious. The sauce is so good that I pour it over the black beans and rice too, you won't want to waste a single bite! The service is always friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Between the outstanding food, excellent margaritas, and consistently great service, this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I'll definitely be back. Cheers!

The veggies were cooked well and not raw like I've had at other restaurants. The corn tortillas tasted like they might be house made and fresh. I also appreciated the salsa bar. The restaurant itself was clean and well decorated. However, the women's bathroom had a bottle of soap that was 95% water and didn't leave my hands feeling very clean. The hand dryer was also unplugged and there were no hand towels. What really brings my review down is the service. The service was definitely subpar. Our waitress was also the bartender and paid more attention to the people at the bar than our table. She didn't check on us throughout our meal, and only refilled my water once when she brought our food out. When we were done, we didn't know if they'd bring a bill to us or if we were suppose to go to the front desk, as she never said anything to us. Every single staff in the restaurant was on their personal phones, leaving the restaurant to take personal calls, and fraternizing more than working. We also witnessed several food safety violations including our waitress sticking her hands in her pants in the back to tuck her shirt, and another waitress playing with her hair excessively, all without washing their hands before interacting with customers again. While good food, I don't know that I'll go back given the experience we had with the staff. I really question cleanliness when behaviors like that are happening in front of customers.

The inside is cute and trendy, making it a great spot to grab a bite. The food itself was very good! I tried the pollo tacos and a side of fries, and the fries had a unique taco seasoning that I absolutely loved. We also ordered chips and queso--the queso was delicious, though the chips were a bit too greasy for my taste. The portions are pretty good, and I was stuffed when we left! A few small downsides: The prices were a little steep for what you get. The cups were small, so we had to get up for refills-- and you bus your own table, which made tipping feel a bit odd. That said, the staff was friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable. The inside is very very clean and well taken care of. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for something fun and flavorful! Parking is free and there is plenty all around the restaurant, which is always nice when near the Nashville area! We will be back for sure. I am already craving the fries again!

The meat almost tasted like it had your typical taco seasoning pack on it with the veggies. This was not authentic at all. I would not recommend if you're looking for authentic Mexican food. As someone who's been to Mexico and lived in Southern California, this is not it. If you're looking for Americanized Mexican, great, you'll love it. But if you're looking for something authentic, do not go here. However the service is absolutely fantastic very kind and warm staff.

What made the situation even more disappointing was the way it was handled. No manager came over to apologize or speak with us about what happened, and no real action was taken other than simply replacing the salsa with a new one. I understand that mistakes can happen, but finding plastic in something I was eating and then having the situation handled so casually was not acceptable. Along with the salsa more than likely came from the same container. I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and looks into how this happened so it doesn't happen to another customer.
