Since moving to the South, I hadn't found anything that reminded me of home (I'm from Phoenix, and my mom is from Michoacán) -- until now. This place is truly a gem. Angelica and her team are incredible. You can genuinely taste the care and dedication in every dish they serve. The tamales are easily the best I've had in town--honestly, maybe even in the whole state. And the pico de gallo deserves a special mention. I usually avoid ordering it at restaurants because it often lacks freshness, but theirs is vibrant, fresh, and absolutely delicious. My partner is more pickier than I am, he loved the flautas. We had asked if they could make them and to our surprise they worked their magic. They even added them to the menu! Absolutely honoring. I'll definitely be coming back regularly and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful food. read more

Great spot to hit while you're shopping at the market. The taco salad with chipotle chicken was a great, simple yet not "food court" food. read more

Amazing place! Always greeted with a friendly face, quick service, and the food is always quality. As authentic as it gets and while the farmers market can get super busy, they always do a great job. I am a regular and it's my go to spot at the market, I get something from there every time I go! read more

This little mom and pop shop sits inside the Nashville Farmer's Market. We got there for breakfast and I knew I was going to get a breakfast burrito. My hubs was in as well once he realized they also served traditional American breakfasts. Everything was so delicious! Great food, large portions and a great price! read more

El Burrito Mexicano - Breakfast burrito and breakfast plate - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Service was friendly, but overall I have to go with two stars for this one. I ordered a carnitas plate with rice and beans and added an order of chips and queso. After adding on a water, my total was over $20 BEFORE tax and tip. If the food had been terrific, this wouldn't be as of note but the food was "just okay" and portions were small. Carnitas are a favorite of mine, and I can get twice the amount of carnitas (and better) at almost any Mexican restaurant in the city for half the price. The rice and beans were standard. The chips were stale and no complimentary red salsa. The queso was okay. All in all, just a mediocre meal for far too high of a charge. TBH, I've yet to have a meal that wows me in the entire Nashville Farmer's Market but I'll continue to try! read more

Horrible food, and drink. Not worth money. The lady was very rude would not even give me an extra napkin rolled her eyes when i asked. Honestly no one should throw their money away to bad service they should be happy you chose to give them a try read more

The woman who took our order and fixed our food was rude. Her attitude was terrible. I would say it probably was a bad day however this was my second time visiting and it was the same experience. The food was ok. I wasn't thrilled about having to pay extra for each individual thing to add to a burrito (corn, peppers/onions,beans etc) I've never had a burrito that didn't include onions/peppers. She said o would have to upgrade to a plate with peppers as a a side....*crickets* ohhh ok. Definitely not satisfied and i will not be back. Please improve what's included in that burrito and she needs to fix her attitude! read more

Amazing Mexican food in the Nashville farmers market! The Taco salad is my favorite but I have also ordered the nachos which are very good! Toppings are customizable as you're ordering. Plenty of parking around the farmers market. read more

This place has been in the Farmer's Market for years and years. I have rarely eaten lunch here I recently did eat lunch here again and the burrito was very large like everyone says. Go here if you are hungry and want to satisfy your appetite. If I was bringing in tourists from other countries to show them an example of "excessive American portions" I would bring them here LOL. They truly shine when it comes to Breakfast burritos. They seemingly are the only restaurant that is consistently open in the mornings. I got a massive chorizo burrito for $7.64 If you missed breakfast and are stuck at work at the vending machine, stop yourself and get your belly full with a breakfast burrito. The service as others have stated - I had no issue with that. The menu is indeed small and hard to make out but once you know what you want its fine to just wing it and tell them what you want. read more

Mixed veggies side is fantastic! Would come again solely for that. Everything else good too

I really enjoyed the burrito I ordered from here. I'm not a fan of over grilled tortilla and they grill theirs to perfection. I actually did a "build-my-own" and had them add rice, beans, shredded chicken, cheese, and sour cream. My first bite was a party in my mouth!! Wow! The flavors were so amazing, the chicken was juicy and I also added their salsa verde which had just the perfect spice to it. I am hooked! The bean are more of a chili which took the burrito to another level. I believe it is family owned and both husband and wife were so friendly and all about me! When I thanked them, the gentleman said "No, thank you!" That simple gesture has made me a patron for life! I urge you to try this place read more

AMAZING! Tried this place bc of the reviews. It did not disappoint. Fresh food, made to order, authentic, and fast. The burrito and the omelet were incredible. The potatoes/fries and horchata... wow!

El Burrito Mexicano - Torta al pastor - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Inside the farmers market food court el burrito Mexicano was about as standard of a mexican place as you can imagine. I had the chicken burrito which was very standard. Chicken, beans, rice, lettuce, tomato topped with queso. While these basics are hard to screw up it isn't asking all that much for them to be done very well. Nothing in this meal really and any flavor other than the salsa that was put on at the very end. Otherwise incredible bland food with large portions. read more

El Burrito is amazing! Everything is custom ordered, and they have tons of options. The burritos are huge, as are the taco salads. They even offer fries and peach cobbler! Their breakfast burritos are the best in Nashville. They have sweet potatoes and veggies for non-meat eaters, and the food is customizable which is great for kids or picky eaters! And free parking! read more

Would be 5 stars for the food if it wasn't so expensive. Chicken cheese and rice was 13.99 Must have been a chicken that came from royalty.

This burrito makes me do a happy dance!! It's a breakfast burrito filled with chorizo, cheese, potatoes & eggs. All the sauces are delicious & this cantaloupe water SETS IT OFF. Breakfast of champions! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I haven't even tried the other places in the farmers market because this one has stolen my heart....and my stomach. The breakfast burrito is superior, by far. They stop serving this after 11 am, though, so keep that in mind. Writing this review makes me already excited for the next time I have the opportunity and pleasure to get one. read more

El Burrito Mexicano - Breakfast burrito (chorizo, eggs, potatoes, cheese) with extras on the sides. - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great little spot located in the Farmers Market commons. The food is exceptional, staff is very friendly and the price is extremely affordable. I got a chicken burrito, which was massive. And only ran me $6. They cover their burritos in queso and salsa which I really enjoyed. I also got a side of mixed veggies, which paired really nicely with the burrito. I will definitely come back to El Burrito next time I find myself at the Farmers Market. read more

Been searching for an authentic Mexican place where I could get a great breakfast burrito. Found it! Fantastic breakfast burritos. As good as my favorite place back in Los Angeles. Also. All there other food is very authentic. Great pico de gallo and hot salsa. Plus there is a myriad of other food choices in this mini food mall. It's indoors so you can go when it's raining. Owners are very nice people read more

I had a really good taco salad from here. The meat had flavor. It was packed. We also ordered a chicken burrito and it was really good. The beans had a lot of flavor too. Great meal at a great price. Loved it!!! read more

Had lunch there today. It is very good Mexican food, just not the best. Truth is I haven't found "the best" Mexican food restaurant yet. Had a Taco Salad today which is okay and you get to add some of the goodies yourself. They are known for their burritos and they are very large, which is why I don't usually order one. Their Nachos Supremos are really good and may be my favorite here.The guys that run it are really nice and do a good job. And unlike most Mexican cafes, they have many choices of veggies or side-dishes. In northeast corner of Farmers' Market Food Court. read more

Like other reviewers have said, all around just a decent burrito place, my experience however was quite strange. The main issue I actually had was the service. I had been walking around, checking out the other food options at the farmers market when I settled on this place. As I walked up to the counter, and squinted at the small menu to see what I was going to order, a worker hastily told me to order on the other side. I reassured him I was indeed going to give them my business, I was only looking at the menu, but he again insisted I order, now. Ok then. So I moved over and ordered a burrito on the counter from another worker. The worker mumbled something and as I said, "excuse me?" he seemed to get angry and slowly responded, "what. meats. do. you. want." Again, ok then. At that point I'm sure you're thinking I should have walked away, but I was hungry. I quickly chose chicken, the safest option, since it didn't seem like they didn't want to give me any time to order. I received my burrito(luckily topped with cheese), also with apparently no option for other toppings or fillings, receiving lettuce with sour cream, and a single slice tomato, and I later served myself jalapeños. As I finally approached the counter to pay it ended up being around $8, a single burrito, no sides and no drink. I asked for water, assuming once again it was free, but was told that that would be 25 cents. Of course. Now that that's aside, on to the food. It's true, the "as big as your head" burritos where indeed a good, filling size. As I cut into it though, I was reminded that my burrito did in fact have chicken. And only chicken. The lettuce, tomato, and jalapeños served as the only condiments, luckily the queso added some semblance of flavor to it all. Overall, it was only a decent, average burrito, with the service making an otherwise 3 star restaurant 2 stars. read more

El Burrito Mexicano - burrito, with all 3 sides - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Less than a week after my first time at El Burrito Mexicano, I returned for breakfast. After having their amazing grilled enchiladas for lunch, I had to see what their breakfast burrito was all about... and let me tell you.... it was AWESOME!! For $4.99, the huge burrito was stuffed with bacon, eggs, and homestyle fries that were grilled with onions. Then everything was topped with shredded cheese. I used their hot verde sauce to use on the side, and it gave the burrito the perfect kick. The serving size was big. I could only finish half of it in one sitting, but ate the rest later. Good stuff, for realz ;) read more

This burrito was good. It is definitely huge and I am really glad I split it with my boyfriend. It was filled with eggs, bacon, and potatoes and it was a solid breakfast burrito. It is inside of this farmers market area which was pretty cool. read more

IF YOU WANT A BIG FAT BURRITO.... This restaurant is located in the Nashville Farmer's Market and was my husband's choice for lunch today. Although I did not purchase my food from here, I did share some of my husband's food. This was a really nice hot bar that was set up like a Qdoba but with more options. They had Al Pastor, fajita steak, seasoned chicken, barbecue chicken, ground beef and refried beans as protein options. They also had varied choices for sides such as large chunks of grilled potatoes, yams, skin on fries and a grilled zucchini mix. There were plenty of options is you prefer your burrito without meat. My husband ordered the chicken burrito stuffed with beans, chicken, fresh veggies and cilantro. He also chose a mix of grilled veggies and a coke to complete his combo. Everything was perfectly and thoroughly seasoned so it made for the perfect combination of flavors. The grilled vegetable side was very good because the vegetables were nice and crisp with great grilled flavor. Service was fast and efficient which makes this restaurant a great option for a quick meal. It is definitely recommended if you are in the mood for delicious Mexican food. ***My husband shared his burrito with me and still had plenty left for later. . read more

El Burrito Mexicano - Hubby's massive chicken burrito combo with grilled veggies as the side. - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I eat the chorizo burrito every morning! Great food and better people. I also suggest home fires with cheese.

Solid. Cheap. Quick. Who doesn't dig a burrito as big as your head? And the fact that you have a tasty, cheesy lunch for $5.95 - dude, how can anyone protest? I am not a native Mexican, I'm from Middle Tennessee. My idea of Mexican is slow cooked, cheesy goodness that just says yum. I don't need big time spices, not trying to do any microderm abrasion techniques on my tongue, and the latest froo froo spice doesn't appeal to me. And the nachos supreme... dude... a plate full of cheesy goodness with chicken and toppings - you can't go wrong there, either. If you are in the Farmers Market for some reason and you're hungry, definitely give them a visit. read more

My usual go-to at The Farmers Market, and I'm not even a huge Mexican food fan...its just really tasty, ultra fresh fare delivered with an authentic flair! Their tamales are probably even better than their big ol'burritos, quite frankly---they just are perfectly cooked and flavored...and I love all the different toppings and side veggies they offer as well. Plus, you gotta wash it all down with their awesome cantaloupe/melon juice...it should be medicinal, it's so refreshing and restorative: I feel like renaming it "hangover cure"! Not to mention their friendly and welcoming staff who are always willing to assist you when you're baffled by all that saucy Latin selection....try these guys sometime and let them show you why they're still there after all these years!! read more

It was a cold and cloudy day in December 2013. I had been in Nashville for two years and had given up hope that I would ever have a decent breakfast burrito again. This was a sad reality to face, having spent my 20s in southern California where I was always within walking distance of a delicious breakfast burrito and coffee. After I moved to Nashville, I spent months combing through Yelp and Google, patiently seeking my BB fix -- but somehow I missed this place, which is located inside the Farmer's Market downtown. I was willing to go breakfast burrito-less if it meant living in a city I adored, but I'd be lying if I said my heart didn't break a little bit each Sunday (BB day in my book). And then, like a lightning bolt from the heavens, one day in December 2013, I somehow entered just the right combination of search terms on Yelp, or perhaps the Nashville gods had decided it was time to reward my efforts, but there it was: a review about this place and its breakfast burritos. I was headed downtown faster than a toupee in a hurricane. Oh, what a glorious day when I first tasted El Burrito Mexicano's veggie breakfast burrito: eggs, cheese, potatoes, freshly-chopped jalapenos, peppers, onions, and a little bit of magic. And then their red taco sauce -- be still, my heart! In that moment, I knew I would never have to leave this town, because it had everything I needed. There is nothing more rewarding than finding the thing you were searching for after a long and perilous journey. Especially if that thing is a breakfast burrito. Note to carnivores: Just order the veggie BB. Trust me on this. read more

Breakfast burrito! Breakfast burrito! Chant it with me! I *crave* their breakfast burritos and wish they opened before I go to work! I guess I'll settle for the weekends. I've had their non-breakfast burritos as well and probably need to branch out to tacos, but you can get tacos anywhere. Their housemade pico and salsas are authentic and top notch. Portions are huge, prices are small, and service is fast, friendly, and customized (I always ask for substitutions with no fuss). Damn it. Now I want a burrito. read more

I live close by to the Farmer's Market and often find myself there for a quick lunch. I've been to El Burrito twice, and both times I've been pleasantly surprised with my food. The first time I went, I had the enchilada plate, which included 2 enchiladas (maybe 3?) and 2 sides. My plate definitely weighed close to three pounds. It was a ridiculous amount of food for a small price, and it was pretty tasty too! Today I decided to opt for less food and went with two tacos and a side of rice. This was definitely more of a reasonable portion. The only thing that takes away a star for me is that their ordering system is a little confusing. Whereas most burrito places you can see the toppings to add, they have theirs in a back cooler, which is fine but I'm not yet familiar with all of the options. They also have a nice little salsa/jalapeno area to add to your meal, but again, for a first (and second!) timer, it's a little confusing. Service both times has been outstandingly friendly. read more

Really good authentic Mexican food. I've been looking for a place like this for a while.
