We've been coming here since they opened several years back, and we still consider this one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Great service. Amazing salsa!

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.

It is paid for but I never mind paying for it when I feel the quality is there. It definitely was. That quality carried over to the tacos that were all fantastic. My favorite was the chicken!

When our server Erica took our drink order and left QR codes for the menu, I quietly looked at my daughter in law and said with a grin, "I hate these. I like to hold a real menu." Although I said it quietly, our server must have caught my look because without a beat, she returned a second later with menus and said winking, "I like a real menu, too." It was subtle and intentional and set the tone for a perfect meal. I told her, "we are reading Will Guidara's Unreasonable Hospitality, and you just modeled it." She told us it's one of hers and her husband's favorite books! Our street corn nachos were delicious as well as great salsa and chips, and each of us was super happy with our taco choices. Highly recommend the brisket, featuring a horseradish cream, and the shrimp as well as the fish tacos. One small note: the flavors in my Brussels sprout taco were fantastic, but the veggies themselves were a bit tough. My tamarind margarita was SPOT ON with a perfectly generous tajin rim and dried lime slice. Food was well-timed even with a packed house. Even when the beans added on by one of our party were way too spicy for her palate, our server offered an alternative without missing a beat. In summary, a hoppin' local spot with great service and delicious food, along with a community feel. 100% recommend!

They offer these large fresh what seemed to be tostadas, a spicy green salsa, and I believe a fish ceviche for free. Seriously, I could've eaten just that. It was delicious. The cocktails are mediocre with limited choices, unless you like tequila and beer. My partner ordered a spicy shrimp dish and I ordered the fried tilapia with seafood on top. I was thankful the server mentioned imitation crab would be served on my fish. No thank you, just octopus and shrimp will do. We received our food and it was piping hot. l enjoyed my fried tilapia--the octopus was good but the shrimp were overcooked. The sauce was great. My only issue was the frozen small fries served and the fish was a tad bit salty. My partner enjoyed his shrimp but he said the fries were disappointing. There was nothing memorable about this food and it lacked freshness and originality. I don't know if I would go back, but if I did, it would be for ceviche.

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.

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.

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.

Upon arriving and noticing the mexican flag mural, I had a feeling this would have the types of tacos that hit and they sure did. My brother-in law ordered a carnitas, pollo, and asada tacos. I went with the tripa and a pair of lengua tacos. We also ordered a kids chicken quesadilla for my niece. Ordering it to go, they package it quite tight with the saran wrap to avoid spillage. Appreciate the detail on that. For the authentic street tacos, this hits hard with flavor, seasoning, and grease The lenqua and crispy tripa are the kinds I find in Houston from taco trucks that bring me to my knees. My bro-in-law found the carnitas to be his favorite with the tender pork and juice; claimed these were some of the best tacos he's had. Squeeze the lime and drizzle some green salsa on those things to treat your taste buds. We also snuck in a taste of the quesadilla before feeding it to my niece. Both of us appreciated the texture of the tortilla and meltiness of the cheese with the chicken. The quesadilla is quite large; we couldn't believe it was the size for kids. Fortunately it was a leftover for my sister which she devoured later on; even after heating it up it was still tasty. The menu is typical mexican with sopes, tortas, milanesa, burritos, gorditas, and mulitas in addition to tacos and quesadillas. There's roughly 10 different types of proteins to choose from. If you can't decide, the lengua, carnitas, and asada are always pleasers. It takes about 6-8 minutes for your order but it's worth the wait. No doubt we'll be returning here again!

You will not find queso, fajitas, or any of the hallmarks of Americanized Tex-Mex here. This spot is for people truly searching for authenticity, which Taqueria Azteca has in spades. I eventually found the English menu and ordered a few things I feel like I don't often see: two sopes (one pollo, one tinga) and a pollo gordita. Just regular water to drink. The whole meal came to about $13 and they take Apple Pay, which was a win. The inside is small and it seems popular to get food to go, but I decided to sit and eat. My food came out fresh, made to order, in about 10 minutes, and I had my pick of three homemade salsas. The red and the darker green were both too spicy for my weakling tastebuds, but the light green was perfect and I put it all over everything. The tinga was my favorite of the two meats, juicy and incredibly flavorful. The regular pollo was a bit dry and not that flavorful on its own, though the salsa fixed it. Both the sope and the gordita came loaded with refried beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico, onions, and cilantro. Truly needed a fork to get through all the messy deliciousness. Three items turned out to be slightly more food than I could handle, but man were they delicious. I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area!

Befitting of this part of town, this is a family-run business succeeding since 2023 in a converted auto shop. And they're getting rave reviews! Incidentally, Tampico is the highest-rated restaurant on Highway 70 in Nashville, an odd fact I learned after driving the entire 2,372.49-mile length of eastbound 70 and dining at its best eateries. The tacos here are authentic and made to order, double wrapped in what seem to be homemade tortillas, served with pickled carrots, sliced radishes, and lime wedges just as they are in Mexico. They're topped with flavorful raw onions and finely minced cilantro (unless you opt to hold those items) and served with both salsa roja and salsa verde. There are no paper menus, but employees will patiently run through their offerings. Alternatively, you can watch the video screen gradually make its way through all the options. The carnitas tacos with tender pulled pork are beautiful perfection, a five-star dish for sure! The barbacoa tacos with slow-roasted beef are juicy and tender. And the al pastor tacos with marinated morsels of pork are reasonably tasty as well. The complimentary chips and salsa aren't as good, possibly store-bought salsa. But that doesn't overshadow those carnitas tacos!

There's so much thought put behind these simple ingredients, that the sum of it's part equals something remarkable. Let's start with how perfectly grilled the tortillas are. Their cooked enough to where you get a crispy texture, yet it's not over-crispy. The carnitas are fried golden brown and have crispy exterior. The pastor is spicy, you get enough heat, but it doesn't take your head off. I saved the best for last and that is the barbacoa. Imagine the most tender, melt in your mouth pot roast, take that and multiply it by a 100 and you have the barbacoa at El Paisa. A touch of cilantro and grilled onions rounds out these beauties.
