Ok, this place have come under new management and I can tell. The service has been "better"…read moreoverall. Food has "always" been really good in my opinion and the reason I have come back again even when the 1st time was not the best overall. I recommend everything really, I have tried a few dishes and all have been great. The fish, the meat, burritos, chimichangas and so on but our favorite is the Molcajete. It brings everything you need and want and never thought you wanted. The only bad thing is that is a "single serving" so it only brings 1 side dish (rice, beans, salad, pico, and sour cream) with it but you can get an extra one for extra $. Their margaritas are really good and they have a big big mug beer too, 32oz I think. They also have a variety of other mixed drinks, and also nonalcoholic beverages. The decor is pretty cool, a bit bold but definitely matches the Mexican Rancho pride. The place can get busy but it on a shopping center so you you will have plenty of parking, not close to the door but free parking in Nashville and surrounding areas, beggars can't be choosers , but trust me, you'll be glad you'll have those extra steps to buffer that belly before you get in the car. So overall what I'm saying is, come check them out and judge them yourself. Leave a review and pass it along.

Even after moving out of the area, I still make the drive back whenever I'm nearby because it's just that good and consistent. The vibe is always welcoming, the 2 guys treats you like they've known you forever, and the food is consistently great. My go to is the lenqua and barbacoa, and carnitas this time, and it was just as delicious as I remembered flavorful, fresh, and prepared with care!. I love places that don't go downhill over time, and this one only seems to get better. This is definitely one of my favorite food trucks around! Do try sleep on the horchata great chaser! Today it was too sweet for me though. If you're in the area, don't sleep on this place. Whether you're a regular or just passing through, you'll understand why I still stop by like I never moved away.

Their salsa is seriously some of the best I've had. If they bottled it and sold it, I'd buy it. The taco salad is excellent. The seasoned ground beef is especially good, and their fajitas are another favorite of mine. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the value and the people. I had a sit-down lunch today with great service, plenty of food, chips and salsa, and a drink, and my bill was only $15.63 before tip. It's getting harder and harder to find a locally owned restaurant where you can eat this well, be treated well, and still walk out feeling like you got your money's worth. Places like this deserve our business. Good people, good food, fair prices, and consistently good service. Five stars from me. I'll absolutely keep coming back.

I have spent a lot of time all around Mexico. This is the real deal -- it's like eating in a hole…read morein the wall taqueria in Guadalajara. This place is for people who like authentic Mexican low brow food, rather than Tex-Mex or "Gringo" versions of the cuisine. It is also for people who, when they walk in and realize that they are the only non-Mexicans in the joint, view this as a positive sign that "this must be the place" rather than one which engenders self consciousness. I can almost guarantee you will be the only native English speaker in the place (unless I'm there...) As for ambience - there isn't any, which is to say that it's perfect. It's flourescent lights, formica tables and steel chairs with red vinyl. Mexican tv blaring cheesy soap operas or soccer above the counter. Phone cards to call back to Mexico for sale. Just like Guadalara. Now let's talk food. If they don't bring them to you, ask them for some grilled jalapenos. They are fantastic, but be careful. The chips are prepared fresh and the hot sauces in the squeeze containers on the table are home made. The tacos are all-world. "Al Pastor" (spiced pork), "Carne Asada" (grilled steak) and "Camaron" (shrimp) are the best, and come piled high with the filling, cilantro, onion and a lime wedge. At a buck fifty each, they cannot be beat. The tortas are Mexican hot sandwiches. Order the "Carne Desebrada" - pulled beef. It is a meal in itself, with avocado, jalapeno and the most addictively flavored beef you will ever eat. I have friends that swear they are made of heroin. Other standouts include Shrimp Diablo (spicy shrimp), Chile Verde (pork in heavily spiced tomatillo sauce), Burrito al pastor (a burrito with the same filling as the tacos mentioned above), and fajita mixta (fajita with the kitchen sink). There are also lots of other "deeper" Mexican dishes like shrimp cocktail in tomato juice, menudo, various "caldos" and mojarro (a whole fried fish that you pick apart with your fingers). Drinks are Mexican beer, sodas, water, horchata or, if they have it that day, "agua de melon", which is cantaloupe juice that is out of this world. The place is CASH ONLY. Manuel and Ana, the owners, speak decent English. No one else does at all. They will always be there. Finally, back to the ambience/clientelle . I am not going to get into a whole social commentary thing, but if you are the type of person who will get jumpy walking into a dive where the people eating are guys who work landscaping, construction, etc. this is not for you, as this is precisely that place. (I literally hired a guy to do some drywall work for me while having lunch there one day.) But to put your mind at ease, I routinely bring my kids, wife, friends there and we are welcomed like family. No one is going to bite you. You, however, are going to want to bite their food.

Located in a small shopping center, TV is one place to visit if you're looking for a great meal. Chips and salsa came with a very spicy salsa of carrots, onions and other veggies and is not for the light hearted.

I went with the carne guisada, another delicious ensemble of beef, grilled onions and jalapeños and seasoned perfectly. Fair warning Taqueria is a CASH ONLY restaurant so please be warned.
