Went on July 4th as options were limited and it was close to the hotel I was staying at in Mt. Juliet. Waited for a while to be seated, but seeing as it was the only Mexican restaurant open that day, it was a fair wait. Plenty of menu options, great prices on meals and drink specials. My Gringa Quesadilla was really, really good. So bold and bustling with a variety of flavor. The "small" margarita I had was also phenomenal, done just right. At $24 out the door for two people and a drink, I cannot complain. I would certainly come back if I visit the area in the future. read more

Cuerno Grill - Chips and salsa. Yuuuum - Mexican Near Me - Mount Juliet, Tennessee

Good food, great prices, great service!!!! My food is always piping hot, very tasty, and delicious!

Decent food here. You might not care for the seemingly lackadaisical service. The waitress seemed baffled that we asked for the drink special. She said there wasn't one. We pointed out the piece of paper PERMANENTLY stuck under the glass covering the table and on display constantly. She said she'd have to "check to see if we could be offered that". Came back later on with our drink orders. Funny shaped glasses look cool, but reduce the amount of liquid that can be poured into them. Small portion for the price. Overall, decent food, slightly higher priced, but we would come back for the eats, not for the drinks or service. read more

Really disappointed by this place. The ambiance/decor are a nice touch, but that's about all it had going for it. Went for lunch during the week with my husband. Restaurant was pretty empty, but it was early so didn't immediately set off alarm bells. Service started out strong, but that was only because the waitress didn't have anything better to do when we first arrived. I ordered nachos which came out soggy and sloppily put together. My husband ordered a carnitas burrito. He was assured by the waitress prior to ordering that the burrito only contained meat, rice, & beans. When the burrito arrived, it was stuffed with bell peppers & onions and two very small pieces of pork, in addition to the rice & beans. When he asked our waitress to confirm he'd been given the correct order she confirmed yes & said it always comes with the onions & peppers though she never mentioned it when asked earlier. At that point a friend of hers must have come in because she abandoned our table to chat at the bar with the new arrival. We finally had to wave her down to get our check. Have not been back, do not intend to return. read more

I loved the friendly atmosphere when they greeted us. The food comes in big portions so it's worth the price. I had the mix fajitas and it was enough to take home lol. My server Karla was sweet lady who took great care of us. Definitely will come back soon. read more

The food was great thank you for everything. We loved the tacos and chips. Our service was very great

Cobwebs on the decorations are usually a red flag. Went in to have lunch and ordered the guacamole. It was brown...not fresh, actually didn't taste like anything. The entree was tasty but I am not sure it's what I ordered? I asked for a fajita quesadilla and I got a grilled tortilla stuffed with chicken and cheese like a burrito. My wife's taco salad had no salad in it. Two stars because the place itself is actually nice and if they cleaned it up it might have been a different story. read more

The service was fast and excellent and the ambiance was nice. I ordered a Margarita and it was solidly average. I wanted to order queso but both options were spicy and my husband doesn't like spice so we skipped appetizers. The food was fine. I had enchiladas supremas and my husband ordered the carnitas. His carnitas were surprisingly dry. My enchiladas were good but not amazing. The portions were plentiful. I wouldn't avoid the place but I'm unlikely to go out of my to go back either. It was very toddler friendly and even had one of those rides that costs a few quarters. read more

For a hundred dollar food tab to go- very little food received. The fajitas for two was mostly bell-peppers and the side was for one not two. Not worth the expensive prices! read more

Great food great service, Vicente out waiter was outstanding. I had the enchiladas, the portions were large, the shrimp was a little bit hard for my taste (over cooked) I also had a soft drink orchata, very delicious. Over all a good experience. I will def come back read more

First time here and I was pleasantly surprised. Used a local flavor certificate which helps bc it's the most expensive casual Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Is it worth it? I'm inclined to say yes. Salsa was the best I have ever had in a restaurant. I would buy it if they sold it in jars. Cheese dip was also killer. Fajitas were great. There were not any huge pieces of steak in it however what was there was at the highest quality and very tender. The tortillas are not homemade which is a mild negative and I had to send the original pack back because they were hard. No big deal they brought me a fresh pack. my son had the tacos and enchiladas. Very tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. I do recommend you do not to pay the extra dollar for cheese sauce instead of red sauce. It's nice that they give you so much cheese sauce since you're paying for it, but it was about five times too much. You couldn't even see the enchiladas and they were definitely mushy from all the cheese sauce. Our server was excellent and I will ask for him next time. Service was also very fast and ironically when the server brought our food, he said sorry for the delay, which I laughed and said what delay this is the fastest I've been served in the Mexican restaurant restaurant in years.overall, a very pleasant experience with great service and great food. I will definitely return. read more

This was right off Lebanon Rd in Mount Juliet. What a great find! Very hot and tasty. The complimentary chips and salsa were excellent and fresh! We are from Lebanon and will be visiting this one, too! read more

We have tried several Mexican restaurants in the area and this one is by far the best. I got the grilled chicken, jalapeño cheese, and rice dish. It came out hot and it was a very nice portion. My girlfriend got enchiladas and she said they were awesome. This will definitely be our go to Mexican restaurant when we have the craving, which is often! read more

Food was bad did not bring us everything i ordered. Then when i seen we were being charged for it i asked why . They called me a liar.Never ever been treated that way in a so called businees read more

Order taken dropped off ignored for the remainder of the time . No service and have a diabetic sweet tea

I tried to eat here. arrived 15 minutes prior to closing. to me that means they are STILL OPEN. they turned us away. okay. i'll spend my money elsewhere. buh bye. read more

I placed an order over the phone. The person on the phone kept trying to hang up on before I was done with my order. Then the order was completely wrong after going through it with them several times. We paid $55 for a bag of garbage. Everything in the bag was much cheaper than what I ordered. Look like kids meals. Beware. I love Mexican food but I will not go back to this place. read more

This place is perfectly fine. Nothing that blew me away, but nothing that particularly annoyed me either. The menu is basically the same as any other Mexican place and the prices are comparable as well. It looks slightly nicer than your average mexican restaurant but a lot of that is probably because it's relatively new. On my visit our waitress was very nice and efficient, but she didn't speak English very well which led to us having to explain some things. Not a big deal. The cheese dip was too thick but still had a good taste. The salsa was just ok. Had too much of a smokey flavor for my liking. The chicken fajitas were ok too, but still not as good as Cinco de Mayo's. The waitress brought us our check and we ended up waiting at the table for her to come back for a bout 20 minutes before we realized we were supposed to take it up front ourselves. Doh! The patio looks pretty festive so perhaps I'll meet some of my Mt. Juliet friends out one evening for a margarita. They aren't open very late, though. They close at 9 M-Th and 10 on Fri and Sat. read more

I didn't love it to death. Even though there were many open tables, it took about 10-15 minutes for the lady who seemed like a hostess, cashier and chips and salsa server to seat us. No apologies. She could have used some help. We almost left. I ordered the basic bean burrito and cheese enchilada. The quesadilla was a little chewy and hard to cut. All the cheese was in the middle so there was not point in eating the ends. Sigh. I hate when things aren't evenly distributed. My son order chicken and cheese nachos and complained there wasn't enough queso. It appeared to be more shredded cheese that hadn't quite melted. My husband had 3 tacos which is kinda hard, or should be hard, to screw up. The environment was nice and fitting. They really did a good job on the decor. The seating is very comfortable. They are like barrels turned into comfy chairs. Don't bother with margaritas. Waste of money. More mix than tequila. So sick of that in Mexican restaurants! Gonna start bringing a flask of tequila. read more

Cuerno Grill - Chicken and cheese nachos. More shredded cheese than queso. - Mexican Near Me - Mount Juliet, Tennessee

Ok, so Mexican food can be like Chinese food---pretty much tastes the same. I believe this restaurant is different because it tastes so good! Not to mention,they carry El Yucatan Habenero Sauce on the table, so that in itself is a plus for me. The salsa that comes when you sit down is actually spicy, and I'm pretty sure it is fresh. The decor is definitely unique (as most Mexican restaurants), but they've got the nifty wooden hand made looking stools. The drinks? Well, let's just say that I believe the bartender is very generous. I usually get the Margarona (A margarita, with a coronita dumped upside down into it), and by the 2nd one, I am usually feeling Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! My favorite which I cannot remember the name,I just know that it's on the first page when you open the menu and it's in the bottom right hand corner (which is a very plain plate) is the tacos with your choice of meat (I get the steak or carnitas), served in a corn tortilla and onions and cilantro. They've got some charro beans that are quite good, and service is, in my opinion, decent. I live in Hermitage, and do not mind driving down a few more miles to come to this Mexican Restaurant because the ones I have been to in Hermitage do not tickle my fancy like this one does. Patio seating is available and if you are coming in the evening or late Friday/Saturday----be prepared to wait for seating! read more

I was hoping for acceptable. I got MUCH more. First--I think there might've been some mix in my margarita. Maybe. They are definitely not stingy with the tequila! The straw in my margarita goblet was a "huh??" moment, but still. The salsa does, indeed, have some heat. I didn't think the chips were too thin, esp. since the salsa is on the smooth side (as opposed to pico de gallo). I got the chilaquiles, husband got the tacos al pastor. My chilaquiles were different, seemed as if they were assembled on the plate as opposed to the casserole I'm used to; but they were delicious. I think I just really like what Mexican cuisine does with eggs! They came with a little bit of guacamole, which was very good; if I hadn't been saving room for dessert, it would have disappeared. Husband's tacos came with CHARRO BEANS. I got one bite, and they were fabulous. They even had hot dogs in them (don't laugh! All the good charro beans I've ever had, had hot dogs in them). It came with the usual pico de gallo, plus a grilled cebollita and jalapeno to add to the taco. I didn't taste, but they looked great. The flan...sigh. I really don't think it was mass produced out of a plastic cup. And the presentation was so pretty! Instead of a puddle of caramel sauce (not that there's anything wrong with a puddle of caramel sauce, yum), the caramel sauce was drawn on the plate in loops; and the loops were filled with chocolate sauce and strawberry sauce. Yeah, this place definitely puts some effort into it! Ok, here are the minuses: the chair seats are comfy, but the "barrel" theme with the filled in bottom, which means you can't tuck your legs underneath. Umm..yeah, that's about the worst I can say. I recommend! read more

I feel like this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Mt. Juliet, when you factor in the food and ambiance. They recently added a nice covered patio at Los Compadres which really gave it a nice face lift. The food has always been really good every time we go. The fajitas are different then the other Mexican places around town because they use assorted peppers and not just green peppers. It really adds to the flavor profile of the fajitas. The staff is always friendly and fast. read more

Went there for the first time today. We were very please with the service and the lunch buffet. Sunday buffet ends at 3pm.....it was $8.99 and the best part is that our 4 kids all 6 and under ate for free! How cool is that?! I think that kids 11 and under eat for free. There was a good variety of foods on the buffet and we even got to eat dessert! The only thing not included in the buffet price is your drink. Overall, the service was good. Our server was very nice as was the owner's brother who was also very friendly. :) The decor on the inside and out was very Mexican Hacienda-ish and we look forward to coming back at night to enjoy the outdoor lighting atmosphere and the other items on the menu. will def. be coming back again! read more

We are very happy we tried Los Compadres... we have been 2 or 3 times now and find it to be the best mexican around Mt Juliet, Hermitage... and we have tried all of them. Fajitas, tamales, tacos, quesadillas, chimichangas, etc. We have tried a lot of things and like them all... Only thing I am not fond of is the salsa; they put pepper in it and I don't really like the pepper... everything else is great. Decore, chairs, staff... all excellent. read more

I can say that this is definately tops in Mexican food for Hermitage/Mt Juliet. The menu offers diverse Mexican entre's that aren't just your "run of the mill" Mexican resaurant menu items with numbers 1 thru 72 combo meals. Not that they don't have that too... The place is clean and new. You can order fresh taco plates or Fajita's that are covered in cheese w/bacon... (yes, that's what sold me) They have a hot sauce, which I'm sure has a name, that they make in-house and it kicks arss. Again, if you want a Mexican resaurant with a little different flair, this is it. Some folks on here complained about the service but honestly, I've been here probably ten times and the service is always good. They love kids, my three yr old has a ball... I have recommended Los Compadres to several friends and they have all gone back many times... read more

I don't like posting negative reviews, but I feel that this is warranted. The only reason it gets two stars is because the decor was wonderful and the food wasn't awful. The service, however, is another story. Despite being two of the only people in the restaurant, our drinks, chips, and salsa were never refilled. In fact, we only saw our waitress again when she brought the check. There was a strange smell in the restaurant, the music was turned off, and there were other angry customers besides ourselves. Safe to say we won't be returning. read more

Cuerno Grill - Mexican Near Me - Mount Juliet, Tennessee

FINALLY. A Mexican restaurant that serves tacos al pastor! Why is this so hard to find in Nashville? Sheesh. And it's excellent! I am surrounded by Mexican restaurants out here in Mt Juliet and even though I love them all equally, Los Compadres (because of the tacos al pastor) has my heart at the moment. They've got a friendly wait staff, a great bar that doesn't skimp on the tequila, and unfortunately, a novel for a menu (but there are a lot of great options to choose from, namely, the tacos al pastor.) The salsa is actually palatable and spicy. My only issue was with the wait staff. There were three people waiting on us (why three? I have no idea!) and I was a little confused as to who to give my order to. Also, if you're a server, make sure you get everyone's drink order and not just the one person you're talking to! Overall, fairly good food, good service, great atmosphere. I'd go again. Maybe I'll go tonight! read more

I came in there today and placed an $82.00 carry out order. The lady gave me the bags and said it is all here. Who am I to doubt that she checked the order, bagged up the food and tied the individual bags up. I go on my way home, 45 minutes away. I get home and there are two regular tacos, three specialty tacos, an order of rice, and an order of retried beans missing. I get it, things happen. I will just call the restaurant and ask for a refund on the missing items. I call and spoke to a lady. She refused to give me a refund. I told her I was not driving 45 minutes back there and 45 minutes back home to get the missing items. I again asked for a refund on the missing items. No refund. read more

We were served room temperature raw oysters without cocktail sauce and horseradish. Restaurant was completely out. It took an hour for them to prepare fajitas. I would understand if restaurant was busy but they weren't. I had to ask for fajitas and they brought them out immediately cold. We left disappointed by the food and inattentive service. Experience was so horrible that I will NOT be returning. read more

Just didn't like it. Nothing more to say..Carreta towards Mt.juliet much better. Little further close to publics El Comal even better yet

Decided to try a different Mexican restaurant, and what a mistake to try this one. Service was horrible and still is as we sit here and wait for our waiter to get 1 thing right. We had to flag someone down when we got seated just too order drinks. It took at least 5 mi nutes to get chips. We had to wait over 1p minutes to get our cheese dip. We had simple combo orders like beef taco, chile relanos, spinach encilada and nothing came out right. Drinks sat empty until we asked for refils. Go elsewhere, there are plenty of good Mexican restaurants but this one is not one of them. read more

We liked this place. I feel it's a notch or two above the basic Nashville Mexican places that are everywhere. However, the Street tacos aren't as good as Mas Tacos but still pretty good. The side table Guacamole was really good. read more

We went to Los Comprades for the Sunday Brunch Buffet, the Bar was Out of some foods when I first got there at 1415, and so not well kept up, but We eventually got what We were After. The Food is Great, but Service is Hit or Miss and today was a Miss. I sat while My went and got Her Food and then We BOTH Finally got Our Drinks and Chips and Salsa. The Food is Great, so the service effects the Server's Tip which because of average Service average Tip. This Buffet is Great for Families so is very Noisy and the music to Loud, but even if That the Food is Worth the visit. read more

This place has, by far, the best tacos in all of Nashville and surrounding areas. And yes I've been to all of the highest rated places around. My wife and I order the same thing every Sunday, which is tableside guacamole and tacos authentico. They also have kick ass margaritas and offer triple size beers. This place beats Mas Tacos and 5 Points Cocina any day. read more

I can't believe this has only 3 stars. We moved to the Myt Juliet area last year and are so glad we found this place. We love Mexican but are pretty particular. The ambiance is nicest of any in the area. Margaritas are wonderful. And they have a few dishes you don't find in the other Mexican restaurants. Staff is great. Give it a try. read more

So, went to Los Compadres for dinner on my birthday. The server overheard me talking about it to my family. She asked, is it your birthday and I said yes. Next thing I knew they were bringing a pink sombrero for me to wear. One would expect singing to ensue but not here! I got whipped cream in the face and it was rubbed in my face many times over. After the utter shock, I was able to laugh about it but I wouldn't recommend telling anyone that it's your birthday. I'm surprised this hasn't started a fight or someone not coming back to the restaurant ever again. We were told that it's a common practice there to shove whipped cream in someone's face for their birthday. I'm still stunned! The food was good and I may go back but never for my birthday!! read more

Normally I can give a place a semi-good review If they are busy. I understand how busy restaurants work. This place was not too busy last night and our waitress was not very attentive. Aside from that, the food was terrible. I literally threw up my entire dish when I got home. I was not sick before I got there and felt better after it was out of my belly. It's rare when I vomit after a meal. It was not an appetizing dish for one thing and the salsa just tasted like tomato paste. I will not be returning. I know what good Mexican food is and this is not it! You gotta go to Texas for the real thing! I'm new to Tennessee and I will continue to search for good Mexican food. You let me down Los Compadres! Seriously. read more

TOP NOTCH. Every once in a while I find a place on Yelp, read reviews, stop in, and things are great. This place knocks away any Mexican restaurant near and far. Now, Ive been to many...but this place has food that will send you places. We also enjoyed a nightly special where they hand make guacamole tableside....our server made the best guac I have ever tasted....and it wasn't the creamy blended into oblivion type...it was chunky, delicious, with lime and pepper....ohh mama. Great interior and such friendly staff here. Drinks are the cheapest Ive ever encountered...not sure why Florida prices aren't this cheap but I was impressed. Even the Mexican made 40 pound chairs are unique and give the place a real touch of class. I'm a fan....I'll be back. read more
