If you want to eat real Mexican food not Americanized or TexMex but real Mexican food this is one of the few places in Nashville. Quick question do Mexicans add cheese to tacos? Not necessarily, a real taco is seasoned meat cilantro, and the corn taco. Is this true of all Mexican tacos? No, because Mexico just like America and Europe has different regions.

We order the grilled shrimp, grilled fish, carne asada steak, the el pastor pork and the grilled pollo chicken. They have a corn base with Mexican cheese and black beans with lettuce, tomatoes and sliced avocado. A generous amount of food for the price and the taste. Great care is taken by the employees to provide such a...
