A lot of visitors stop by this taco shop. Multiple staff members were working in kitchen, preparing the tacos and serving the order quickly. It's take out only, but there are sitting area available in common space right in front of the store. They had couple of registers open so lines were moving fast. The menu had chicken, beef, pork, vegetarian, and birria tacos. The tacos were little bit pricey, almost $5 for a single taco with each topping adding additional cost from a quarter to fifty cents. We ordered the chicken and beef tacos, with melted cheese. They put plenty of protein in each taco. Both the chicken and beef had good flavor. It also came with two different sauces. The taco tortillas were little bit thick and hard, would have preferred them to be softer. Overall the tacos tasted fine.
The best food choice in the food hall. Service was great. The food was amazing! The sauces were well made and the elote was *chefs kiss
Once one of the best places to go. These days if you like cold meat, cold cheese and barely warm flour tortilla - this is the place for you. No less than 6 people working behind the counter on a slow day and they don't want to be bother with taking your order or producing an edible product.
We were here on a Saturday during lunch hours so we decided to try this spot. The tech time was really good. It didn't take long at all for us to get our food, and there were a bunch of people who put in their order before us. Everyone got their food quick. I tried the beef nachos and the quesabirria tacos. The nachos were huge! I didn't even finish my nachos. As far as the tacos go, I liked the tacos more than the nachos. The meat was very soft and tender in the tacos. As far as the price goes, I thought it was fairly priced. You get a good amount of food for what you paid. In all, I didn't have a bad experience here at all.
Price - 5/5 Quantity - 5/5 Quality - 3/5 Service - 4/5 I'm giving this spot a 4/5 because of the price and quantity, but the quality was mediocre. I got the burrias, which are only available over the weekend. They were made within 5-10 mins of ordering, and the portion was very sizable with a generous portion of meat, especially for the price. However, it lacked diversity of flavor (salty but not flavorful) and was a bit too oily. However, compared to other joints in the food hall, definitely better than other spots.
I rarely eat tacos because I don't eat a lot of carbs(still on this recovering carbaholic journey), but I decided to take a walk on the wild side this weekend and mix it up a little. We got 4 Carne Asada tacos with onions and cilantro. Added their 2 sauces-guacamole salsa and a red sauce. Ba-be! I was not ready for that red sauce because it was fire- literally and figuratively ! I like spicy but it was WAY above my usual spice level. But I added some any way. The tacos were chef's kiss - delicious and flavorful and the seasonings were the cherry on top. Service was quick even though the food hall was busy. I will definitely visit again when we are back in Nashville.
My daughter and I visited the Chilangos Tacos in the Food Assembly Hall South side. The young lady at the register was pleasant and helpful. It didn't look like she loved her job, but it's fast food, who could blame her. My daughter ordered a pollo taco and chips and queso, while I got the pollo nachos. The tacos were typical street tacos and the queso was a blanco variety that was creamy, with a kick of flavor. It did not taste much like cheese. It didn't have that cheese aftertaste. The nachos were huge. It's enough for two - four people to pick from. The chips are good and crispy but not hard, and the pico was great. Unfortunately the pollo (chicken) we both had was charred and burnt and tasted like it. The nachos were also drowning in queso, sour cream, and a spicy seasoning they shook on top. It was a seasoning that was spicy, just to be spicy, and not because of flavor. It really would have been better left off or used more sparingly. It's an example of people thinking hot means better when it just doesn't. Hot means better when it's done in a flavorful way that accentuates the dish and brings out other aspects and nuances. I won't be back to Chilangos anytime in the near future. I'm headed back to Colorado where tacos are done better without drowning or spicing up the joint. Good luck though.
I have had good tacos at plenty of places in the city and Chilango is definitely one amongst them. The meat is always well cooked and a little smoky which is quite unique to this place. It comes with a side of tomatillo and salsa. Located at the assembly food hall, its a great place to try the tacos while you enjoy the live music. i have been here multiple times and it never disappoints.
Great spot for tacos in the food hall! We love getting the birria tacos but they're only available on the weekend until supply runs out. I've also had the nachos and they come in such a large portion, it's a great deal for the price. Expect the area to be busier on the weekends though, and a bit harder to find seating for a group of 4+.
Are you freakin kidding me, right in the middle to downtown Nashville one of the best Pork Tacos I have had in a bit.
In a city that serves some of the best tacos you'll ever eat, even for a jaded Southern Californian who grew up on authentic Mexican cuisine, Chilangos must have the worst Mexican food in town! So there we were in the outstanding Assembly Food Hall searching for lunch on a busy Saturday. Long lines formed beside every business, but the line at Chilangos was very short. That should have been our first warning. We always check the Yelp reviews before eating anywhere, but we're thwarted by an overloaded Wi-Fi at the crowded food hall and failed to gain any intel. Failing to see the mediocre ratings online, we joined the queue. It's clear none of the workers want to be there. As someone who waited and bussed tables for years, I know it's hard work. But you have to at least present a welcoming face for your customers. Two registers were open both run by young cashiers. One came available, but the person in front of us didn't notice. Rather than the cashier stating the obligatory, "I can take the next customer" she just stared off into space and avoided eye contact. Seriously? We finally told the person ahead of us that the other register was open. I also recall picking up our food and thanking the employee, only to receive a glare. I usually go for the most authentic dish, but the sirloin nachos seemed to showcase most of their ingredients, allowing me to fairly assess the quality of food. For the first time ever, I ate nachos with cold shredded cheese, cold salsa, room temperature queso dip, and room temperature sirloin of atrocious quality. It was an absolute train wreck! At least some of that needs to be warm and melted cheese is preferable, even if you have to shove it into a microwave. Cold nachos? Their guacamole salsa had pretty good flavor and nearly salvaged a two-star rating. But the homemade chips were awful and there were so many egregious errors along the way that this place deserves nothing better than one star.

Nice spot to grab a bite. The tacos are extremely fresh but one thing I can know is the tortillas being pretty good. And I'll just fall apart, but they are able to hold a lot of the sauce if you go on the weekends and get the special. The service is pretty quick and clean as well getting me my food and a seat within a few seconds of each other. read more
Good tacos for being in Nashville I thought they were going to be trash but I was in shock how good they were I would come back again if I visit this city. Service was quick and the vibe is chill inside this awesome food court. read more

The food at this place was fantastic! I loved the added touch of queso with my birria taco. The food was hot and had deep flavor! The service was fast. The food hall was packed with locals and tourists. read more

Our favorite item here was the chicken nachos. The order is large, enough for 2 to split as a meal or up to 6 to share as an appetizer. The ranch cheese sauce is so delicious, creamy, and flavorful. Assembly food hall itself is a lively and bustling location. You order food at the relevant restaurant counter, pick up from the same place, then grab a table from the shared seating areas. It is very similar in style to a mall food court. They have assorted seating options, such as picnic tables, square tables, long tables, and high tops. They also usually have live music. read more
This is pretty good for Mexican street tacos. If you're looking for some good, authentic straightforward, Mexican food, this is a great place to check out. I loved their Elote. Really was cool to be surrounded by so many cool places and live music. Staff was really friendly. read more
Was surprised to find this here and the second I saw their actual food as they were making it, I knew it was going to be really close to authentic or Southern California style tacos. I was right! The salsas are AMAZING. Get extra green salsa if you're into it. Pastor and carne asada tacos were great, and the Las Costras (it's meat and fried cheese in a taco) was amazing. Service was the only slight let down along with I felt like the food was more on the colder side. Taste flavor and everything else was perfect. And there's not much of a line either! read more
We went looking for a snack and came across this taco place in Assembly Food Hall. We ordered Pastor Los Nachos. It was a decent portion for the 2 of us to share. The guacamole was watery, kinda with the same consistency as Taco Bell's, otherwise the nachos were fine. There is plenty of seating available. A little noisy in the food hall. Service was efficient. There are probably better places for tacos but this wasn't bad. read more
Yummm! My friends and I were walking to Sixty Vines for brunch and passed by this taco spot and took a double look. The tacos looked delicious so we we made sure to save some room to grab a bit here after brunch. I ordered the cheesy birria tacos with consommé and oh my goodness it was phenomenal. It was cheesy, flavorful and greasy! My friends ordered the carne asada and Al pastor tacos and said they were delicious too. This spot is totally worth checking out! read more
These tacos hit the spot! I'm a Mexican and these are legitimately good tacos. I got the Birria tacos with cheese and they come as three tacos with a special sauce to dip them into and with two amazing salsas, a green and a red salsa. The food place is nice and clean. The staff person that took the order is too serious and didn't look too welcoming with her serious face and attitude but the food was great. read more

The nachos were delicious. Large portion size, plenty of toppings, and quick service. The tacos were just okay in my opinion. I would recommend eating here! read more
We love street tacos and we've been trying to eat our way around Assembly Food Hall, so this was a natural place to stop. I got 3 different tacos (al pastor, carne asada, and barbacoa) and they were all pretty tasty. I enjoyed the spicy salsa on them and the guacamole salsa was also pretty good. My wife's nacho's were super tasty as well and we enjoyed our dinner here. They also have birria tacos on the weekend, so we have to come back to try that. All in all it's a solid place to eat in Assembly Food Hall. read more

Being from LA good tacos are hard to find on this side of the world. However this gem definitely felt like home. The prices however...HORRIBLE. The taco shell could at least come doubled like most street tacos come. Service is not pleasant, the cashier didn't seem happy to be there and more interested flirting with the cook. Since this place is in the middle of dining hall the vibe is great! read more

Super fast service for being in the heart of Music City and a value for your money location in comparison to other eateries in the area. This is within Assembly Food Hall which is reminiscent of a mall food court in the late eighties. It's the best place we found to people watch, take a break, and use the facilities all while getting good food. And the flavor of the marinated meats was absolutely delicious. I look forward to stopping in here again when I come back to Nashville! read more

Food is ok, had a carne asada taco. I guess for Nashville it's ok. Being from California , I've had excellent mex food. For people who've never had mex food before it will pass. They need to get cashiers who actually want to work there. None of them ever smiled, they don't seem very happy. FYI, you're in Naahville, get some bbq instead. read more
