  If "Good enough" was the goal, this place definitely hits the mark. The prelude to dining: We sat at out table one of 3 tables sat with guests and our napkin dispenser had a single napkin in it which feels a little ridiculous for such a slow afternoon service. The server thankfully cleaned our table as we were seated which im grateful for. We got our drink orders in and were off to the races. The good: the margaritas were great, our service was prompt and efficient. The flour tortillas, and the pickled onion on the brisket barbacoa were delicious. The bad: everything outside of what I just outlined was honestly sub par. The salsa was watery more of a sauce than anything, the meats lacked any flavor and were more of a protein mush than brisket and birria, the birria tacos were cooked excellently but the meat and au jus just weren't flavorful at all. The Spanish rice was crunchy and the beans despite all the visible ingredients lacked any substantial good flavor. The queso was brown and not kinda grainy like the rioux wasnt cooked off. Idk if the kitchens not following the Chefs recipe or if the recipes arent good. The creamy jalapeno dip was the only thing with any spice to it and it tasted like sour cream that sat next to a jalapeño for awhile. The finale: after 4 tacos, 2 margaritas, queso, beans and rice costed $60 which wouldnt have been an issue if the food was good. Id give it a 67/100, its definitely calories and is edible but nowhere near the quality of food id expect in all honesty Try another Mexican place and avoid this one, your chances of having better luck than me is high after dining here.

  Super cool place. Great vibe. Amazing Nashville twist on traditional southwest Tex-Mex food.

  We went here today and it was delicious! From the chips and salsa to the fajita taco to the street corn- all of it was yummy! Our waitress was amazing as well.

  Food was great. Service was good. A lot of room for big parties. And they have a bar. Great place to eat and enjoy yourself.

  11/14/2025 stopped here for lunch. We ordered fried avocado tacos, shrimp fajita taco, and the chicken and waffle taco. All of the tacos were delicious, only complaint is the chicken was a bit dry and it needed more sauce on it. The fried avocado tacos were absolutely delicious!! The salsa that they serve was also really yummy. For drinks we ordered their famous coconut cream margarita $18 each and I ordered just one of the regular margaritas. They were delicious! I would recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner!!
