OK foodies we getting right into it so this place sent me to little Mexico. This place was amazing. The food was flavorful. The food was fresh. The food spoke to my soul. It was real Mexicana. I will be back.This is some real good Mexican food. This is the place to come get a food coma. We had a bunch of street tacos, and three meat fajitas. I ordered a mango, and strawberry frozen margarita baby they were real good-t. I’m ready to go to Mexico over this food, come and get some food like right now. Oh, and the neighborhood is real unsafe, but that’s we’re good food is...just lock the car doors don’t come extra jazzy come with your comfy pants on to eat cause you’re going to eat. You can thank me later.

Little gem. It's certainly not in the best area but the food is fantastic. Beer is ice cold and the servers are very friendly. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced.

This is the best Mexican restaurant yet. The service was great. The food was amazing, and the MARGARITAS are only 14 per pitcher! I have a new favorite place to go to whenever I'm in Nashville

Fast and delicious for to-go food. If you want to dine in, they have a covered patio and indoors as well. The guacamole caserro is delicious and fresh, and I loved the asada tacos as well. They served them with a house made hot sauce that was so fresh and delicious!
