Visit here because we are visiting Nashville (originally from Detroit, MI) food was good, but service is slow and waitresses refused to speak English. They "didn't" have water so we paid for water bottles. The only good thing was that the chefs came out asking us to try their sample meal, and funny thing is that they spoke perfect English.

I wish the chicken had more flavor and weren't so dry. Other meats are very delicious! Salsa Verde is average hot. Overall not bad if you got the taco cravings.

I go here about once a week. This is my favorite taqueria in the Nashville area hands down. You can pull up and have window service which is great honestly during covid (please wear masks when speaking with these ladies! They won’t tell you to but be courteous). I place at order and they bring it to the car. Pastor tacos are incredible. Barbacoa is beef cheek and so perfect. It can be a tight fit in the parking lot sometimes. I think more people are finding out about and trying this place which can be good and bad.
