We're from out of town and we are staying close to the restaurant. Place was AWESOME! Parking was easy. Service was great. Food was REALLY good. Drinks ice cold (including the beer and margs)! Pablo was our waiter and was nice, entertaining and kept a clean environment for the guests at the tables and bars. We love Cali Mexican bars and Midwest Mexican and this takes the cake. Glad we stopped in! read more

This inconspicuous Mexican restaurant will have you coming back on a regular Tuesday, because they are that GOOD. Fantastic food, prices, happy hour, and staff. They'll get you right. read more

Full disclosure I don't live in Nashville. So I came here while traveling. i.e. I have had better. Pros: -prices were reasonable -large portions -chips for starters was good -they had individual saucers for the salsa -large parking lot (shared) Cons: -waitress was very inattentive - orders came out missing things, had to flag down for basic stuff like napkins -food was meh (all our meat were very overcooked) -food took a long time to come out (we did have a large group of ~10 people) read more

My partner and I love this place for the fajitas and the margaritas. Mexican food in Nashville ain't holding a candle to authentic food you'd find in Mexico or California but Guacamayas does its best and holds its own with the best hole in the wall spots here in South Nashville. We usually order the Fajita for 2 which comes with chicken, steak, carnitas and a piece of chorizo with all the veggies and sides. Pair that with some chips, salsa, queso and a pitcher of their house margaritas, and you're set for a good meal that won't break the bank. Service here is phenomenal. The staff remembers your face and treats you like family. All in all a great experience. read more

Great food and very economical z don't expect a service to be good but food is awesome and truly Mexican read more

I work for a company that allows me to try many different restaurants throughout the day and this one never lets me down. Great food is always read more

Me and my girlfriend ate here twice. Once to try it, and again to make sure we didn't just go on a bad day. The first time was okay, but the food was absolutely flavorless. The drinks were cheap, so that's why it's okay. Second time we got our usual dishes when we go somewhere, but there was food stuck all over our plates from previous customers. Same thing was on cups as well. We tried to ignore this, but then my girlfriend saw a cockroach running behind my head. That took the cake. Place is filthy. read more

In short, super well priced, large quantity, delicious, great service. I used to come to this location many years ago. Guacamaya used to be called El Ranchero. I loved El Ranchero and was quite sad when it was replaced. After coming back several years later to Guacamaya, I was quite surprised to find that it had everything that I had loved from El Ranchero and even more on top of it. Insert ratatouille flashback moment. I ordered the dinner special which consists of taquito, tostada, taco, chile relleno, burrito, rice. There are 3 meat options, chicken, beef, and chorizo. I recommend trying them all, and you can in fact for the dinner special. Each item in the order I got a different meat (ie chorizo taco, chicken burrito, beef tostada etc). My favorite meat however was the chorizo. Nashville's Mexican food scene is extremely strong. With so many good restaurants to try it can be overwhelming, but I definitely recommend trying Guacamaya out at least once. read more

This restaurant has changed names, but has the same great staff, menu and location. I've eaten here about 50 times over the last 6 years. I no longer live in Nashville, but when I'm in town, I definitely stop in to get a taste of my old favorites. Some great things on the menu: fajitas, La Gringa, chorizo queso. Yum!!!

Watch your credit card USE CASH ONLY December 6 2022 was my 3rd Visit. The man at the cash register was very welcoming friendly. I think the sour cream was bad because I was sick soon after we left and that was the only thing I ate that was different. We left an 8$ cash tip on a 41$ bill and drew a line through the tip area since we left cash. And when I checked my bank online they wrote a 10$ tip on top of the cash tip we left. I'm not sure if it's even legal to do that. Anyway lesson learned cash only because they are thieves. And I generally leave good reviews on here but buyer beware! read more

Very friendly people, but they need to take some feedback about the food itself. Very obviously canned, frozen, and just mediocre. Speed of service is good. They need seasoning, salt, and authentic ingredients. I'm afraid if they don't take the feedback they won't survive here in Nashville. read more

On what will probably be a long quest for decent Mexican food in Nashville, I decided to try this restaurant and see what they have to offer. First, the three stars is mostly due to the great service. The waiter was super friendly, attentive and engaging. No complaints there. I ordered the beef quesidilla and cheese enchilada plate with rice and beans. The beef quesidilla wasn't bad. The tortilla tasted good and the beef was moist. I would suggest the beef needed a little bit more flavoring. The beans seemed like they were canned. The rice had an okay texture but didn't have a strong flavor. The cheese enchilada I couldn't finish, it just had an odd taste that didn't sit well with me. It seemed to me the cheese was a canned sauce cheese of some sort. It didn't work well with the enchilada as I would have preferred real cheese. I can't say I would try this place again as I usually look for one hit on what I ordered and didn't get that here. As I said, service was spot on! read more

Guacamayas - Beef quesidilla, enchilada, beans and rice plate - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My review is based on my time ordering takeout from them twice, but both times I have been highly impressed. The portions are large, the food is always well packed, and it tastes great. I've had their chimichanga and their quesadilla and both were so good. I frequently shop at the Kroger near by and I never went inside to eat here. I definitely plan on changing that soon! read more

I felt like the rice was just totally tasteless and the refried beans had to be canned , not good. The whole meal was not good. Definitely would not go back. Iced tea was good and service was fine but quite slow. Waitress was nice/ read more

i ordered a veggie quesadilla because i'm eating my lunch on a drive. thought it would be easy to have handheld slices of quesadilla. this is not a quesadilla - it's more like a sloppy soft taco - and it's way too small to charge $8 for read more

Guacamayas - 54. Veggie Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food is kinda bland. I got a chicken and rice plate and the chicken was very rubbery and had little seasoning. I've been here a handful of times but It seems like food gets worse each time. The prices aren't justified. read more

This place is all around bad. It smells weird, food was not good, and they charged me significantly more tip than I added for the waitress. I gave a normal tip and kept my copy. When the transaction dropped on my card, I called to tell them it was wrong and he argued it was on me. The manager had no apology and was not friendly. Will not eat here again. read more

In Covid-19 times they're open for carry out.

This place is amazing. Great wait staff, good drinks, fresh ingredients so the food is a very tasty!

Hands down best delivery meal I've had during COVID. The Guacamayas combinations were such a great deal - I ordered #2 and #3 along with some nachos and xangos. Forgot to take pictures of the rest before eating, but everything was splendid, good portions, different flavors, good salsa to add flavor to everything. Will be ordering from here again read more

The food is so good! My steak tacos and my shrimp tacos were soooo good! And they're a good size too. A little bigger than normal street tacos (i got the authentic tacos). They're table salsa is spicy af tho. Just FYI before u start diving in. My only negative is that the margaritas are too sweet. I couldn't taste any alcohol at all. But i love this place and I'm definitely going back! read more

Me and my bff hit this cute spot on our way out of town. Service was super quick and on point. Chips and salsa was so tasty, chips were warmed and salsa was just a little spicy. Perfect.

I will NEVER eat here again. The restaurant had a horrible smell, our waitress told us there were no frozen margaritas, however we're literally watching others get served. Cheese dip came out cold. read more

Go to spot in Nashville to order a quick meal after work, especially when I'm having cravings for churros & chorizqueso.

The salsa and service here was really good! 4 or 5 stars. Unfortunately, the burrito was very sub-par. I felt sick the next day, and while I can't prove that the burrito did it, I'm not ignoring the possibility. read more

Literally one of the best Mexican places I've been to I order Togo and everything was amazing I couldn't have asked for anything more

TERRIBLE!!! Stay away from this place, it is the worst place to go to. EVERYTHING is OLD and COLD. Nachos were soggy and couldn't eat them, taco was also soggy on one side. Chicken in everything is so old and disgusting, carne asada is really not carne asada. If I could give them a negative 10 I would. DONT GO HERE!!! read more
