Fish tacos , homemade queso and chips , margaritas made with fresh squeezed juice daily and the service is excellent!
I'm really impressed how good the tacos are! My favorites are Cochinita Pibil , Al pastor and Mole wich is very spicy ! Salsas are really good too specially the green one! Drinks are overpriced!
Some of the most flavorful food I've ever had! Amazing queso . I love the papas tostada , fish tacos and black bean tacos . Great drink specials , too!
The chorizo cheese dip was amazing! Also recommend the tacos of course. Heads up, they don’t play around with the spiciness . Awesome spot!
Chips and salsa are a killer! I had 2 different tacos and both were the best tacos I have had in a while. The bisteca was my favorite.
You MUST get the pineapple margarita . Guacamole was great. Papa tostada exceeded expectations. Tacos where all great. Good prices, incredible staff !!
Awesome tacos and chips . The best salad dressing in Nashville- try the Loretta salad with Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette- it was AWESOME!
Good food. Great service. Overcrowded space at the bar for lunch . I felt like a T-Rex trying to eat my food. I'd still go back.
Electrical outlets at the bar stools for those who need a phone boost.
The rib tacos and bistec are awesome. The tacos are small though so get 2 or 3 of them.
Love everything here, but especially the quest and fish tacos . You gotta try it out!
Great food, amazing cheese queso as well as delicious margaritas .
Homemade chips and salsa , tortillas and tacos are so good!
Great queso options. More mellow vibe than the strip.
Best guacamole ever. Seems pricy , but well worth it.
Queso , fish taco , and bourbon sour = solid meal. Skip the chicken taco . It's dry.
The Johnny Salad is delicious and generous.
Tostadas , queso , and tacos are amazing!
Had mole taco and bistec taco it was good
Margaritas are really yummy, nice and sour if you like lime . A little pricey , but not the worst that I've seen
Spicy margaritas . If you like that kind of thing. :-)
Mugs of beer and awesome guacamole !
Queso is kinda grainy.
Amazing fresh margaritas .
The food was good, but our bartender was in a lousy mood. The tacos aren't very large so expect to order 3-4 for a full meal.
Everything
I was disappointed with the tacos , compared to Californian and Mexican ones
Taco's taco's taco's ! And of course nachos .
Get the pork belly taco !
Try the short rib tacos !
Tacos are really good.

GUACAMOLE!
Terrible. The tacos aren't tacos . Too spicy . And the chicken taco is very bad.
Great tacos! ????????
