Taqueria La Auténtica

Had the Birria tacos and cucumber water food was delicious! Highly recommend

Solid mexican food coming from someone who has eaten mexican food across multiple southern states and in Mexico as well. The flour and corn tortillas were the right texture and taste along with the beans and carne asada. The hot sauce in the little containers was the exact same way. This is our new weekly spot.

Visited this Mexican food truck and tried the quesabirria, pollo asado and horchata.

The quesabirria was delicious, with great flavor, but I wish they had added more cilantro and onion—I could barely taste them. That said, the overall taste was still fantastic.

The pollo asado was well-cooked and well-seasoned, definitely a solid choice. I had asked for no lettuce, but they added it anyway—not a big deal, just something to note.

The horchata was excellent! It had the perfect balance of sweetness, unlike some places where it’s overly sugary.

Overall, great food and flavors! I’d definitely come back.

Chicken tacos are amazing, salsa is excellent

Amazing food!! I got the street tacos and almost picked my plate. I got two steak, two pork, 1 chicken it came with a couple pickled carrots and cucumbers which set those tacos off!! With some of the best perfectly spicy salsa verde I’ve ever had! My husband got the barria mega quesadilla and it looked mouth watering! He is also a horchata snob and said this truck was selling the real deal. We can’t wait to come back and try something else! Friendly staff and great service also.

Taco truck is located in the Marathon gas station parking lot. The Tennessee health inspection was 98 out of 100. Had a delicious carnitas (crispy) burrito and quesa birria tacos. Will definitely stop again on our travels to and from Nashville.

Got the barbacoa burrito. Really soft burrito with a lot of soft fillings. Meat wasn’t that flavorful. Mainly filled with refried beans and lettuce.

Will absolutely be going here again! So yummy! In a gas station parking lot, and there were unsavory individuals hanging around the area, but to no fault of the food truck. If it was somewhere I felt safer, I'd be there every time I passed Cookeville! Great prices and incredible food.

Small food trailer parked at a gas station, and one of the most authentic tasting chicken burritos I've had outside of Mexico.I travel for business and try to avoid eating at the same place twice so I can try more places. I will likely go back anyways, it was that good.Cash only, but quick and friendly service.

Food was awesome. A bit greasy but I don’t get tacos to try and be healthy. The truck shares a lot with a gas station, so bit of a parking issue. Great food, great price. I will be going again.

Stopped for the night heading west. Saw these folks had 5 stars and figured we should check it out. They are 5 stars well earned! We had Sopas and some tacos, everything was delicious, the hot sauce an added bonus!!! Can’t recommend enough! We’re sad we aren’t from around here to enjoy more! So reasonably priced and the people were very nice. In a sea of fast food do yourself a favor and eat this instead!

Great food and great service. Must try pineapple horchata!
