My wife ordered the Grilled Shrimp Platter which was incredible infusion of different cut vegetables and the sauce served was outstanding! Rice and beans were fantastic. The rice tasted like a risotto and it was so tasty. I ordered the fish taco with flour tortilla and it came with different spiced spread and sauces. It was pan fried. I absolutely loved the crunchy corn taco with shredded beef. I will definitely be back with my wife again!

The service was really great and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's Tex-Mex cuisine that is non-fussy. We ordered the queso fundido which I would pass on. Honestly, just stick with the chips and salsa! It was delicious. Neither of us were particularly hungry so we just split a chicken tinga bowl. It was small, but worked for us. They split it into two bowls for us, which was really nice, and there wasn't a split entree fee, which was also appreciated.

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back next time we're in Nashville!

Asada Tacos: Honestly, pretty bland. The meat was cooked well but it lacked any real flavor. Salmon: Nothing special. Didn't feel like high-grade fish. Pork Belly Tacos (The GOAT): Absolute life-changing Pork Belly. As someone who's eaten a lot of pork belly, this was easily the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for this. The Portion: Tacos come with rice and beans so the portions are very generous. You won't leave hungry. 4/5 stars. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that incredible Pork Belly. It carried the whole meal. Highly recommend for that dish alone!

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!

They were good, too -- plus a tajin rim *chefs kiss*. We had chips and salsa, fajitas, tacos, taco salads, and everything was solid. I wouldn't say my salad was mind blowing, but I was happy with it.

Most of the disappointment came from the hostess, Emily. She seemed rushed the entire time--she took our drink order, but while we were still looking at the menu, she walked away. She came back briefly, then left again, making it hard for us to ask questions or get recommendations. Because of that, we didn't get any guidance on what to order. When the food arrived, mine was way too spicy for me to eat. Thankfully, another waiter stepped in and offered an alternative I might like, which I appreciated. Overall, the service felt rushed and inattentive, and the experience just wasn't enjoyable. I wouldn't go back.

This place was close to our hotel so we stopped in for a late lunch yesterday…read more We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender. I ordered a Jalapeno Margarita and my wife ordered a Hibiscus Margarita. Both were exceptional. For lunch, I ordered the Chicken Tinga Classic Crispy Tacos and my wife ordered the Chicken "Tejano" Fajita. The bartender also brought us an order of Beans and Rice to share, which was nice. The food was fantastic. I would consider this a high end Mexican restaurant. We liked the decor and dim lighting. We noticed that there was a private room that can be closed off with curtains. This would be great for a small group. The restaurant also has a nice patio area.

First off, I need to start getting my servers names (and remembering them) because ours was great!…read moreHe heard us talking about my lactose intollerant, so when the three of us were deciding between the Pollo Tinga or Carnitas Taco Board he warned us that the Pollo had cheese on it. Thanks good sir! We got the Carnitas to share and Guacamole - it was the perfect amount of food for the three of us and everything was so good. I loved building my own tacos with all the fun toppings. They even brought us more shells when we still had meat & toppings leftover. And more chips when we still had guac in the pestal & mortar (which was super cute). I loved the vibe of the place - chic but not so chic I felt out of place (because no one would call me chic for good reason). I loved the glow of the pink neon - created a fun vibe.

He truly made our experience great. To start we had the guac and salsa trio. The salsas and guac were very fresh and the tortilla chips were shaped like tostadas. We tried the carne asada, verde tinga, pork belly, baja fish, chorizo, and shrimp tacos. All were very good but the pork belly was phenomenal. To drink we had the green margarita, seasonal watermelon margarita, and both regular and spicy pineapple margaritas. The green and watermelon were unique, refreshing, and tasty. I look forward to returning to Nashville to visit Bartaco again, as it is now one of my favorite restaurants.

Inside the restaurant it was very loud (music) and hard to hear even when you're trying to lean in and pay attention. We ordered the "dinner for 2" that's $49 at the time. We agreed that most of the food felt warm and dry. When it comes to the tacos, we felt that some of the protein/meats were dry (and again was warm and on the soggier side.) Overall it's not a horrible place to have dinner especially if you want a quick bite, though I feel that it could be better. My personal rating: 3.2/5

The arroz con pollo was actually a kale salad, which was not clarified on the menu. I wish the menu would've been a little more clear on what is an "ensalada" vs what is the "mas"
