“This hidden gem exceeded our expectations! My husband and I indulged in a variety of menu items, each proving to be delightful. The authentic flavors transported me back to South Texas. We're definitely planning to return for more culinary adventures!“
“If you're looking for an authentic experience in Mexican cuisine. This is where it's at. It's the true definition of Mama's cooking. I've known this lady since I was a kid. It really is just a mom cooking in the kitchen.“

“The best Mexican food in Cookeville hands down. I've lived in California, Texas, vacation to Mexico regularly. If you're in the area, this is your best choice by far. I'm a sucker for good al pastor. The kids love shopping in the market after dinner.“

“Very good food, very good prices and an extremely good "pitcher" of frozen margaritas. Over all a great rating( it was right next to my hotel) and I would have given a 5 star rating but I still felt slightly hungry after leaving, but then again I'm a chow hound and love to eatKid-friendliness: Playroom for kids“

“Incredibly friendly staff! Service was quick, and the food was great! My wife loves Mexican food, but she doesn't like Asian food (so I don't get it often). This place has both, so it was awesome. I got the teriyaki & pineapple with rice. Love it!“

“These are the best tacos I have ever had in my life. I order the carnitas tacos every time and I go here at least once, often twice a week. I tell EVERYONE these are the best tacos I've ever had. YOU NEED THESE TACOS! Also, the pineapple and cantaloupe drinks are soooo good and refreshing! Also, super affordable!“

“Our son, his wife, and children moved to the area in December (from Philadelphia, Pa).We flew in for a visit & they INSISTED we have dinner at one of their favorite places, "Rey's".This place did not disappoint and EXCEEDED our expectations! From the staff who were happy to see us, to the DELICIOUS food, and WOW the dessert!You simply have to have the churro dessert! It was the best dessert I had in my entire life of 50yrs.I am from Philadelphia & have access to the best restaurants. This place beats all Mexican restaurants. 100%.We will be back!“

“As always great food and good service. We tend to crave our home town taco truck food and have struggled to find good Mexican food here in Cookeville. Flavor is usually lacking or missing altogether but not here! Thanks for the good food and happy bellies!!“

“We arrived 10 minutes before closing and hated to be "those guys". They made us the best food I've ever had from a Mexican restaurant and still treated us great even though we were late. 5/5 would recommend to anyone near by. The food was incredible!!“

“Not the most upscale place in town, clean and comfortable, with really good food and service, and the best chile rellenos I've had in a LONG time.My husband had a shrimp and chicken dish that was also excellent.Try it - you won't be sorry. Definitely worth the time and money.“

“We went on a Tuesday night, and it was pretty busy with college kids drinking too much. I think that caused the service to suffer.However, our food was awesome. I had tacos Al Pastor and a tamale. One of the best tamales I've had.“

“This place is me & my husband favorite Mexican restaurant. We always get good service. Our favorite waiter is Alfredo he always has smile on his face. He always on top of filling our drinks and bringing fresh chips/salsa. Very friendly. Has our drinks and food down pat because we are there pretty regular. We really enjoy having Alfredo as waiter.“

“Boost for Casa Grande Mexican Restaurant Cookeville.I don’t think we have ever had a bad meal here before! Last night I tried the queso birria tacos. They are by far the best birria tacos that I have tried so far. The meat was extremely tender. It was seasoned and flavored perfectly. The consomé was thick and flavorful.My daughter-in-law got a chicken quesadilla and my daughter got a chicken house salad. Both of these had a large amount of shredded chicken added.Everything was delicious.“

“While traveling home from Spring Break, I was looking at stops along the way for a spot to stop for dinner. A search for restaurants ahead and El Tapatio popped up. After looking at reviews and the menu, I knew they would not disappoint. They did not. It's located in the food court of a truck stop and it was delicious. They cook your order on the grill in front of you. They have many options of what to add to your burrito, bowl, quesadilla, etc...plus if you like spicy, like my husband, they have the good sauce down below. Just ask. He said it was really good and flavorful. The portions are really good for the price. Everything we got was really good. I'd recommend. I'd happily visit again if I found myself in the area and would probably be a regular if I lived nearby.“
