    Authentic Mexican food
    Marina P.

    The food is freshly made. I had the mini breakfast burrito with eggs and chorizo. The staff took the time to check in with us and shared that they make their chorizo. I could taste the difference and it was delicious! The ambiance is casual and clean. It's not fancy but still enjoyed it and was glad to learn that they pride themselves on making items from scratch! Sorry I didn't post any food pics but I started eating my burrito immediately! It so good and very satisfying.

    My husband and I stopped by here for breakfast while visiting Nolensville. We were intrigued by a Mexican breakfast establishment, and they did not disappoint. We both got the steak chilaquiles. Flavorful sauce, juicy steak, just the right amount of heat. Such a hearty, delicious breakfast. Staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be back before the end of the week to try out their chile verde!

    Stopped with my son for Breakfast early Monday morning. Welcomed with a friendly greeting and shown the menu with comments that everything was available. Chose 2 of the breakfast offerings. Food was fresh and delivered to our table quickly. It was delicious. Highly recommend for a quick, hot, and tasty breakfast.

    Our visit happened late on a Sunday evening after a conference, so we did not have any issues…read moregetting a seat or being served. In fact, the service was very quick. Our first round of chips was less to be desired as most of them were broken bits and the salsa really didn't have a whole lot of flavor.. but after ordering the table side guacamole we got fresh baskets of chips which were warm and much better. The guacamole was delicious. I ordered the beef barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas which was something new for me, but I very much enjoyed them and the rice/beans that come with it. As far as the restaurant decor goes, I thought it was very upscale however very very dark. We had a hard time reading the menus in our section.

While that's not horrible in itself, it was the first chink in the armor. Then the service started getting worse. Finally, on Friday, 8/21/26, we sat on the porch, and our server acted like we were interrupting her. We had to ask for silverware and napkins three times. She brought our check before we were finished. We asked for another round, which took 15 minutes. My "tequila on the rocks" was a watered-down, sweaty glass that had obviously been sitting out for a while. I'm genuinely sad to see this place fall out of favor. We used to really enjoy coming here, but unfortunately, it just isn't the same anymore.

The reviews for Mas Amigos were positive and it was easy to find from the freeway. Any Mexican place with free chips and salsa is a good find!

And I always hoped something worthy would take over the empty spot left behind by a Nashville legend. Well, I think Mas Amigos is definitely worthy. While La Hacienda still makes their delicious tortillas in town, the new kid on the block is getting very high ratings! And you can tell Mas Amigos is going to be good from the complimentary salsa and chips. The sauces are all fantastic. The enchiladas are delicious. I don't even like beans and I literally love their bean enchilada! The cheese enchiladas is probably their best, with the chicken coming in second. They deserve the high ratings, and you'll thoroughly enjoy what they have to offer. Amongst the hundreds of Mexican eateries on Nolensville Road, Mas Amigos is definitely a standout.

    Every once in a while you stumble upon something and you wonder why you hadn't been there before…read more Such is the chase with Chile Burrito. I mean, it's not like it's hidden or hard to find, I just hadn't been into the unexpectedly large retail area that it's located in until recently. What I didn't expect to find from its rather unassuming store front was AWESOMENESS. The first thing you notice is color. From the mural on the wall to the streamers hanging from the ceiling to the chairs that are all kinds of colors, Chile Burrito is a festival of colors from the second you walk in the door. The menu is laid out on chalk boards above the food area, hand written in various colors of chalk. The menu options are huge and run the gambit of all of your Mexican favorites from tacos to burritos to quesadillas to bowls, each available with a protein (or two) of your choice. Like other fast casual Mexican eateries, as you go down the line you add the ingredients you want to suite your taste. Some come with an upcharge, some don't. Items that come with an upcharge are listed on the menu board above. It isn't hard or confusing at all. While some reviewers state confusion about how/where to order, I have to wonder why. Have they never been to QDoba? Chipotle? Along with posting a photo of the menu, I've also included a close-up of one particular section of the menu. Consider yourself challenged. My choice was a chicken bowl with cilantro-lime rice, add some fajita veggies and sour cream. A side of chips and salsa, of course, because this meal needs to be well-rounded. One nice thing is the salsa bar, with five different salsas of different varieties and heat levels. I tried all five and found my favorite to the three-pepper Tomatilla d'arbol. Nice flavor, a little smoky, and just enough heat to let you know it's there. My food was great. I don't know what kind of seasoning or marinade they used on the chicken but it was amazingly good and very moist, not dry like some other places. The chips were good but a bit thick for my taste (nothing I'd take any points away for), and worked well with the various flavors of salsa. During my roughly 40 minute visit the dining room and trash were tended to a couple times and the salsa station and drink station wiped down to keep them clean. During my monthly visits to Brentwood I'm always on the lookout for great places to eat. This one just go added to my rotation.

    As a Socal native this Mexican food had a southern twist to it. It was more of a…read morebuild-your-own-plate kind of place. I ordered nachos and you can choose from 3 types of beans, 4 types of protein, 2 types of rice and plenty of salsas and toppings. Fish tacos have a yogurt dill sauce on top. Food is tasty. Not local Mexico authentic, but the experience was good, and Latin music is playing on the speakers.

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.
