This place is the bomb. Margarita’s are delicious and strong. Food is out of this world. Some of the best Mexican I’ve ever had. The taco soft shells are freshly made from blue corn and are to die for!!! Jeanette our server last night was amazing! Super friendly service with a great smile. If you’re in Nashville, you gotta eat here.

It is a very pretty place everyone was super friendly. We sat at the bar. Great service started with the salsa trio. All 3 were delish i just dont do hot to much and let me tell you the hot is hot. Great cocktails. Bartender is on point. Had the texas margarita. We ordered the quesadilla and the fish tacos. The fish tacos were a tad on the dry side but the fish was excellent. The sour cream was very runny and quesadillas were on the small side but still tasted good. This is an upscale Americanized Mexican restaurant. Still good but not authentic Mexican if that is what your looking for

Dope spot near downtown behind MCC and the hall of fame for authentic Mexican cuisine. I enjoyed several dishes. I would advise tourists and locals visiting the Musians Hall of Fame Museum, grab their food here as its just up the block, and is one of the best restaurants in the city. The guacamole is simple and fresh. Ordered cauliflower tacos, and they are a decent sized 6-inch tortilla, plus you get 2. Broken English is their vodka lemonade banger with flanernum and passion fruit that most people will love, but it was a bit sweet for me. Their margaritas are excellent and maybe the best in the downtown area. I put them in 3rd place behind bartaco and st anjeo but it was close. I highly recommend their mezcal margarita as it was tart and refreshing. Their margaritas over all are well balanced but not overly sweetened. My partner went with the Carne Asad medium rare, of course. That flat iron steak is marinated for 14 hours before they grill it, and it shows. All in all, I definitely recommend this spot for great, fresh, inspired, and authentic Mexicana.

I love everything I ordered. Salsa sampler with homemade chips was a hit. The Carna asada with roasted corn, potatoes, and chimichurri sauce was my favorite. Also had an order of homemade blue corn tortillas. So good. Service is fast and attentive. I’ll be back.

Wonderful Mexican food! They can sub tortillas for flour, which I greatly appreciated with a corn intolerance. The spicy Pineapple Margarita was delicious! The service was great. Bar B was my server and was very friendly and helpful.

We very much enjoyed our experience. Cocktails were fabulous and we loved the salsa sampler. I was going to order the pork belly tacos but our server talked me into the al pastor tacos. I loved them and my wife enjoyed everything as well.

We’re from out of town and loved this place last year and had to go back this year. To our delight, Dane was our server again and we had a lovely time. He took great care of us and the food was once again a hit. The Chile Relleno is amazing here. We’ll for sure be back next time we visit Nashville later this year and hopefully get to see Dane again!
