Just stumbled upon this place recently, and I most impressed! This place is as authentic as you can get for Spring Hill! I can't believe that this place is a hidden GEM! The food is absolutely delicious, authentic quality and flavors, the atmosphere is just unbelievably good, the service is friendly, the little store is awesome. I have nothing, but praise for this place! The Lengua tacos are really good! It's very hard to find places with Lengua out here. The birria tacos are delicious and don't fall apart after one bite. We loved the food, the sauce and condiments bar, the store selection, drink options, and even the hand washing station! A hand washing station on the side for customers to use before and after eating!?! Absolutely AWESOME! My family and I LOVED this place and can't wait to come back and try more food! read more

As authentic as it gets for Tennessee. From the moment you walk in, you are immediately immersed with the culture of a local, genuine, no-frills, Mexican experience. I say "experience" because this place is not just a place to get tacos. Half of the store is also a Mexican food market, which was such a fun surprise. You order up at the counter and simply find the seat that calls to you. Simply pay when you're headed on your way out. The birria pizza was so good. I will go here again just for that alone. So unique, but also delicious. The birria tacos fell a bit short of my expectations, but the burrito was fantastic. Will definitely come back because I can stress this enough, the experience alone was such a great pattern interrupt from how we typically anticipate Mexican restaurants to be. The staff was also very friendly. read more

This is a no frills real Mexican place. I had the quesadilla with steak and it was excellent! Husband had the taco salad and was delicious. The fried the taco salad shell and cooked the quesadilla right on grill. 1. Go inside to back, look at very limited menu and order. 2. While waiting for food, go to front and grab a drink out of cooler. Just bring it back to table with you. 3. Jalapeños, sauce, etc around corner from grill. Help yourself. 4. Eat and enjoy. 5. Go to cash register and pay. Now like previous reviews, they don't 'wait' on you so expect no service but friendly employees and atmosphere. Appears clean. read more

So I am from SoCal and this place was awesome. It is what I was nervous I wouldn't be able to find here in middle Tennessee. Al pastor is my favorite and it was awesome here. Everything was super good! I do wish the salsa verde had some spice to it but it was still really good. I will be a regular here. I am excited to try different things here read more

If you're from California... this place isn't it. Literally the food is served to you premade sitting in warming plates. Gross. Meat (we tried several types) is full of gristle and fat. I mean literally the food is just soaking in juice all day. Not fresh. The flautas are literally premade and sitting in a pile behind the counter. Why do people give this place 4/5 star reviews when comparatively there are Mexican restaurants pulling out all the stops to give you fresh authentic food? It's not right. The vibe of the restaurant is whatever- I'm always game for a shotty appearance if the food is worth while. But that is NOT the case here. Mediocre at best- and that's probably generous. read more

We stopped in here for dinner the other night. This place is definitely authentic. We moved from Arizona, so we've been missing out on the authentic tastes. Inside, they have a small store (hence the name) of Mexican products including groceries, health and beauty, and more. The menu is pretty basic, but there's plenty of food to be had--and it's great. I ordered the tacos de birria and they were one of the better birria I've had. It came with rice and beans, and they were both pretty tasty. The consome was fantastic and had so much flavor. The salsa bar was great and actually had spice to it. I did order a single carne asada taco, but they forgot it, so I wasn't able to taste it. read more

Yummy food. I can only eat half a burrito they're so big. The menudo is actually surprisingly tasty too. Tamales aren't bad. Rice & beans are delish They sell pan dulce, but it's proportioned in large quantity bags. I didn't see a spot where you could pick individual bread. Good spot for a quick fix. read more

This is a great authentic Mexican market/restaurant in spring Hill! The Asada burrito that I had was delicious and was very large for the price. The tacos are also good but they're not quite the street tacos that you might find at most authentic Mexican places. They are much larger and had flour tortillas instead of corn-they were very good but just more like something that you'd get at a more Americanized restaurant. The market also has all the essential ingredients and foods you would want as well as some fun drinks and snacks. Definitely check this place out! read more

I am a wedo from SoCal that needs his Carne Asada Taco fix. Spring Hill has this little gem that few people know about. Mi Hermanos make some of the best carne asada tacos in middle Tennessee. On top of that they have all the ingredients in the store to make these dishes yourself if you like. But brush up on your español, it is more fun to try to order and see how bad you are at speaking the language. read more

The tacos and food were amazing! It was little hard to order but overall amazing tacos and will be back! The sauces for tacos were incredible. Definitely a great hidden gem read more

Finally got a chance to go here and check out the restaurant side of this place. Had previously checked out the grocery store. Great place! Much more like what I am used to in CA. Preparing your meal in front of you; the grilled meats in rich sauces; grilling the flour tortilla; huge tasty burrito with tons of meat, rice, beans, grilled onions etc.! I could only eat half of the burrito it was that huge but will enjoy the other half tomorrow. I got the carne asada - yummy! Very friendly staff. Will return again! Gracias Tienda La Villa! read more

Love coming here to get my Mexican fix! Love the paletas and the convenience to shop and eat. Kids of course enjoy the candy and watching Fútbol as they eat. I love the atmosphere and shopping for my meals for the week. read more

Tienda La Villa - The buffet - Mexican Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

Best tacos we've had in a long time! I got the asada & pastor. Tortillas were perfect, salad had great heat, and the meat was delicious. 10/10 will be coming here again and again. Great grocery selection as well read more

This is a Mexican MARKET that also serves up food for sit down, if you want. The cook make up your plate from a buffet style line...like Subway. They have about 10 meat choices. All items are authentic... but unrecognizable to me so I went with safe chicken tacos. They were ok but didnt come with the cheese, lettuce, tomatoe that I prefer. If you want the real deal food with no service, drink, etc...then you may want to try it. read more

I mostly like to come here for the mangonada and the paletas. (If you don't know what a mangonada is, just check my previous review!) The chicle paleta had always looked extremely tantalizing but I didn't end up trying it until my last visit. Who could resist that oh-so-appealing bubblegum pink and blue popsicle? My thoughts upon finally tasting it: The pink part was really good. Nice bubblegum flavor and perfectly sweet and creamy. The blue part, on the other hand, had a bitter taste not unlike the bubblegum-flavored fluoride from the dentist that scarred me for life as a child. Maybe it was just me or just that one single paleta? I'll try it again to make sure. Maybe. read more

Absolutely excellent! Legit authentic. I felt bad for my Spanish not being on point:) everyone in there was speaking Spanish staff and customers alike. I really should pick it back up. They know English for sure. So don't feel scared you won't be able to communicate. I just felt like wow, I'm entering a different world I should learn how to speak their language! It's a convenience store, market and restaurant. And dessert shop! They know what they're doing!!! The corn tortillas were on point and the meat was incredible! So tender and flavorful. Then you dress it yourself at the salsa bar. I'll definitely be back here a lot! read more

If you are looking for street tacos this is the place! I've tried all the meats, my favorite is the carne asada and am never disappointed. I know they have other stuff but I can't force myself away from their street tacos and salsa verde. read more

I just moved to the area and was excited a Mexican store nearby. I went in to but some supplies for cooking myself. Itcost me over $46 for just staples. It was very expensive to the point of being gauged. many if the items can be found at regular store these day like Tortillas, peppers (fresh and canned), refried beans, salsa etc. I didn't eat at the restaurant which did look good. The people were nice enough but will not be going back. read more

This is a real carniceria/taqueria, and the most authentic place around. Not only do they have incredible food, but a great little market with products hard to find at the grocery store. The employees are friendly and helpful. Easily one of my favorite places in Tennessee. read more

I've never thought of myself as an adventurous eater, there are foods I'll regularly pass on unless sorely pressed (I really don't like mushrooms) but if a food I typically like is on offer I'm all in. And if that food happens to be an authentic offering of an ethnic cuisine I like then look out coz I'm coming through! La Villa is just such a place. And it's not just tacos. They have a little Hispanic market that sells all sorts of excellent extras for your meal. Perhaps the best recommendation I can give them is to invite you to stop by there at noon on any weekday & witness for yourself the inundation of Hispanic construction workers on lunch break. They know the real deal. read more

Okay. This is straight up legit Mexican food. I can say that because I'm a Phoenix transplant and have spent the last 20 years eating some pretty authentic Mexican deliciousness. That being said, this place isn't for everybody. Lengua may frighten you, but I assure you, this place does it right. If Ortega taco seasoning qualifies as "Mexican" food, put down your tortilla, and get a taste of Mexico. I've been to a few other Mexican places, and they won't have horchatas or jamaica. I remember telling my wife that I feared I may not be able to enjoy a horchata until we visited PHX again. But lo and behold, Tienda La Villa came through...and down the street from my house! The marketplace is great too. They had chamoy to go with my duros! Another win for this little slice of Mexico. Again, it may not be for everyone because it is so authentic, but you should definitely try it. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Spring Hill this is your place. The Asada burrito was amazing. They have a market inside with any soda/juice you'd want and a big selection of Mexican candy. I also picked up some hot sauces i haven't been able to find ANYWHERE since moving to Tennessee. I only wish i found Tienda La Villa sooner! read more

I love this place. More authentic than other places in town. Workers are very nice and can speak a little English. Inside there's also a small grocery area that had a lot of Mexican goodies. They also aren't skimp on portions, they put a lot of meat and condiments. Can't wait to go back. read more

Best authentic Mexican food in Spring Hill. Tacos are the best, but the Burritos are also good and big.

Best pork tamales I have ever had, hands down, and I've had them from all over. Real authentic cuisine, and if you're looking for a pretty place with "ambiance", this ain't your place. Since I don't care what a place looks like as much as I care what it TASTES like, this place is a must stop whenever I am craving real Mexican fare. Limited menu, but everything on it is amazing. Also on your way out, pick up some conchas (Mexican sweet bread) from their bakery. Sooo freaking good...would you look at that? My mouth just filled up with saliva... read more

We went here because a coworker recommended it to my husband amd it has great reviews. But it was hands down the grossest food I've ever ordered. I got the nachos and flautas and the chips were stale. The flautas were soaking in really gross liquid (why??) And the bottoms were soggy and the tortilla was stale. My husband ordered a barbacoa burrito and it was probably 85% inedible fat. It was all so gross! read more

Now this place is an authentic Mexican establishment. I say establishment because it's a grocery store and a restaurant all in one. It's absolutely perfect. I have to say the food was so good that I'm going to start making the drive from Columbia to Spring Hill next time I'm have a taste for Mexican. Well done guys keep up the good work. Muchas gracias read more

Wow, this place has been a great find! Its very authentic street food. When you look around, almost everyone eating there is working class mexican. A good sign for the authenticity.... it reminds me of some of favorite places in southern california. The carnitas is definately a must. I have always received great service here... but it also help to be humble and compliment the team working here. Its not easy being an immigrant but a little encouragement goes a long way. Great stuff guys, keep it up. read more

I have been 3xs. First and second went ok, I felt a little like a tourist and not very welcomed but I get it, I still went about my ordering. The third time is what got me, ordered 3 tamales, barbacoa and carne asada. I ate two of the tamales, looked in the husk and realized that in fact, it was not pepper between the husks, but ants. Needless to say, I will not be returning at all. I could get over not having the most inviting experiences, but bugs in my food end it. Sad day, as someone who lives in Texas for 7 years, I have missed the cuisine of authentic Mexican food and this was the closest I had found. read more

What a neat little place! Ventured out to Spring Hill for some house shopping and wanted some quick to eat that wasn't fast food. It's in a little strip center and it's a market and deli all-in-one! The signs instruct you to order food, grab a drink, then pay! I ordered a marinated pork taco, steak taco, and chicken taco. Also tried their steak burrito which is filled and huge! Soooo good! I saw another post of tamales and decided to try that as well. Chicken tamales were a bit dry but the pork was amazing! Everything tasted fresh! The salsa bar had the condiments to complete your meal and make it even better! There was also an area for desserts. I grabbed a mangonada to go.. it was the best mangonada I have had! Yum. read more

A story that many Spring Hillians have probably heard before, we moved here from California a few months back and have been craving real authentic street tacos. Places like these were a dime a dozen in Los Angeles but are few and far between here. All that being said their carne asada was right on point. My husband ordered three street tacos and they came with two corn tortillas each and the meat. That's all you need for a good taco. The meat should be able to stand on its own without all the crazy condiments that a lot of Mexican restaurants throw on top of their food. It did come with options like a very spicy and creamy avocado salsa, a delicious tomatillo salsa and pico de gallo. We also grabbed some limes and cilantro and onions. I ordered a carne asada burrito for $5.99. The thing was humongous! It could definitely feed two people, one person for two meals, or one very hungry person who is ready to take a long nap. We will definitely be regulars here! read more

Just what Spring Hill needs another Mexican spot! But wait this one is different. More like a cafeteria then a restaurant. You order, watch them make your meal (chipolte style) then sit down, as you leave you tell the cashier what you had. Yes the honor system still exists. Several meats, most I didn't recognize, but the crew will gladly walk you through the options. Salsa bar is extreme with several garnishes and flavors. Prices are very reasonable Yay! I'm a fan read more

By far the best ( and only authentic) Mexican food. Don't let the grocery store fool you. Their food is freshly made and a real bargain. Regardless if you're just having tacos, tamales or one of their huge burritos you can't go wrong. The salsa bar makes everything taste amazing. The. To finish they make fresh ice cream, ice cream bars with real fruit and Aqua Fresca. The owners are super sweet and all the people are pleasant. Run to the best food in this area. You will get hooked! Oh yea. And they sale all their cooked meat by the pound too so if you want to grab and take home for fast meals you can. read more
