Tacos Y Mariscos Lopez 2 — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

This is one of those "mom & pop hole in the wall" places with amazing food. It dosen't have fancy atmosphere, but I can't eat that anyway. I've lived in Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and have traveled in mexico a lot, so I know authentic Mexican food when I taste it, Lopez is the real deal and absolutely the best and most authentic Mexican food I've had in Tennessee. So far, the ONLY restaurant in Nashville that serves a tamale property, i.e., in the husk with NO SAUCE! The tamales are so good, they don't need to be covered in sauce for flavor. The green tamales are hotter than the red, both are delicious! Burritos, fajitas, and chicken are things of legends. It says a lot to me when I go into a Mexican restaurant and I'm the only white person in the place, that is normally the case when I dine at Lopez. If your looking for a fancy place to impress a date or friends, this isn't it, but if your looking for the best authentic Mexican food in Nashville, ...

The servers are amazing! The food is your typical mexican food. I am giving it a 3 because there's is a huge problem with the attitude of the cooks ( Who you can actually see and hear from the guest tables) everytime the client makes a special request to something in the menu the cooks let the servers have it!!! I mean yelling and using profanity that the clients can actually hear. The servers will even tell you not to make changes because the cooks get mad. I personally used to go there often because it was conveniently located close to my work place and stopped going due to this matter. I contacted the owner to express my concern as a loyal client and never got a response from him. Besides this issue, if you go there you'll get typical food, friendly servers, small portions of an unchangeable menu in a small (kind of moms and pops environment) so don't expect the chips and salsa/queso and fancy...

LOOOOVE this place! Interior is cozy, and even if there's a lot of people it's generally quiet. Food is fresh and hot!! The tacos are too die for, especially with carnitas. These are authentic tacos with corn tortillas, onion, and cilantro! Each taco is 1.50 each and comes with radishes, cucumber, and a pepper. If you're ordering, be considerate of the waitresses and use your best basic Spanish--they really appreciate it. For the reviewer below being upset about the waitress struggling with English: to discount this place because the staff speaks primarily Spanish is absolutely ignorant. It's authentic Hispanic food made by Hispanic people in the part of Nashville with a huge Hispanic population--of course they're going to speak Spanish! This place is amazing, the service and food are quick, and it has delicious food. Definitely...
