“ I got the quesabirria tacos today and they were amazing, 100% authentic, and delicious. This restaurant is owned by a family and I love supporting small businesses. I also got an horchata which was very delicious. I’m definitely coming back here. ”
“ I’m front San Diego and this is REALLY good Mexican food! The birria tacos were so tasty ”
“ This place is a little hole in the wall but a great spot to get authentic Mexican food. Getting the food took a while but it’s for sure worth the wait. The birria tacos were soooo good and food tastes fresh and smells REALLY amazing. Salsa is actually Mexican hot and not watered down to be less spicy. ”
“ We are from chicago but this place was one of the best tacos we’ve ever had. Great service was seated and took our order right away. When we come back into town we will be back. ”
“ Most authentic quesabirria tacos we've had. You won't be disappointed. This was our first stop visiting Nashville ”
“ Don’t think twice about location because this place is so amazing! Authentic, large portions, the best fresh guacamole. 10/10 ”
“ One of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been too, and I recently moved here from southern California! Don't let the simple aesthetic fool you, the menu has a ton of great options, large yet reasonable portion sizes, and great authentic food and drink! They also had sandia (watermelon agua fresca)! Which I don't find most places. I had the birria plate and it was so tender and delicious- a little spicy, but a consistent spicy, not a building kind. My partner had the shrimp tilapia plate and wow were they both perfectly cooked! I'm so happy to have found such good, authentic Mexican food, and especially so close to home. I can't wait to go back and try something else! Update 10/23: Great jamaica and some of the best pastor I've ever had! ”
“ Huge drinks huge portion sizes great prices and tastiii! Good guacamole too! All very home made. Everything is very delicious! ”
