“We hired the Mojo’s Food Truck for a work event yesterday and they were phenomenal. It is so hard to please 100+ people, and they did so well. Service was exceptionally quick and portions were very satisfying. Our staff has asked for Mojo’s to come back to our future events.“

“This place was a very good choice! We are just traveling through and found it. Great food and friendly service!“

“My first time eating here and we enjoyed it very much! Their food was really good! We had shrimp fajitas and there was plenty for 2 people to share. I liked that there were actual beans in the refried beans. At other restaurants the beans can be rather soupy. These were very good. I cannot say enough about how DELICIOUS THE TRES LECHES CAKE WAS!!!! I have been telling everyone I see about it! It was the best. Our waiter was very nice. My husband and I are learning Spanish and he helped us with our Spanish! My daughter just moved to that area and we will be back!“

“Fantastic service and fantastic food ❤️. We will be back ❤️. Love the Baja sauce ❤️. All the food was great ❤️. Thank you 🙏“

“Was driving to the dog groomer and along the way spotted this food truck. What a gem. Was promptly greeted by a kind lady working the window who took our order. We wanted to try a little without over ordering incase we did not like. I wish I would have ordered more. Everything was fantastic! The Torta Milensa was out of this world, quality of bread and how fresh and crunchy it was blew my mind. Tacos were well seasoned and served with some awesome salsas! Will definitely be back! Todo estaba muy sabroso y lo recomiendo!“

“Wow what an amazing cinco de Mayo very early dinner we enjoyed today. We got there early say 3:30 pm to beat the crowds today so went very early. There was no wait when we got there and parking was very easy.
We were greeted when walking in and seated within a few minutes. The theming and decor of the restaurant is awesome. So much fun is offered in each room and even the bar area. Check out my photos. I could just walk around and take so many photos to take it all in.
We sat down and got chips with salsa and dip and ordered some drinks. The sweet tea and strawberry mojitos were excellent! Highly recommend them again and again. We ordered kids Mac and cheese which not a ton of flavor. Soft beef taco, steak and chicken fajita and a combo plate. Overall all the food came out very hot and quick. The food tasted good and I would recommend it again and again. I wish we had room for dessert but maybe next time.
Overall I was very pleased with this place and would go there again for dinner. I felt what we paid we got plenty of food and leftovers.“

“Always fun for a celebration!“

“Pastor tacos are very good and authentic! Had seen the truck on Columbia Ave before and had hesitated to try, but stopped today… will definitely stop again when in the area.“

“Legit Ca taco vibe in Franklin TN, Oscar’s Taco Shop is the real deal. what you’d find in East Los Angeles or San Diego: if you want legit LA-style Mexican food in Franklin Oscar’s Taco Shop scratches that itch better than almost anywhere in town. The closest you’ll get to a Los Angeles taco run without leaving Middle Tennessee.“

“We moved to Brentwood from Los Angeles just over 9 years ago. The Mexican food in LA is very authentic, and we were concerned that we would not find a restaurant in Nashville that would come close. Wrong! El Sombrero is tremendous! We have dined here on numerous occasions, and every time has been great. Both the food and the service are exemplary. Do yourself a favor and experience fine Mexican cuisine.“

“Fine roadside lingua tacos. I had three for 10 bucks. Sauces as expected. I would stop again if in this area and wanted taco-stand fare. Shaded table for waiting/dining. Small lot, busy crossroads.
NOTE: El Taquito Mexican Food is the location I reviewed.“

“Everything was muy delicioso!“

“Great staff very helpful, restaurant was clean and food was fantastic!“

“San Diego native here! I moved to Austin visiting family in Franklin. I definitely had to stop. Well worth the stop and will definitely will come back! Thank you for making some amazing food!“

“Food was good. Service at the counter was fine. We went on Christmas Eve a couple of hours before they were set to close. They were already cleaning everything. I get it, everyone wants to go home early, but don't let that impact your service. While we were eating, they were mopping the floors in the dining room (left pretty wet on a slippery surface), turned off the soda fountain and removed the nozzle, and covered up the main trash cans and put a small one in front to use. All while people were still coming in and even as we were leaving. The little things like that can prevent loyal customers from coming back.“

“Pastor tacos are very good and authentic! Had seen the truck on Columbia Ave before and had hesitated to try, but stopped today… will definitely stop again when in the area.“

“Best burritos and people in Franklin.“

“I have been all over this nation, I've been to many, many Taco Bell locations. My favorite thing on the menu is the Mexican Pizza. Sadly, so many Taco Bell's give absolutely little to no care about the product. They come out looking pathetic with barely any ingredients and/or their rancid. I actually quit coming to Taco Bell together during the Mexican Pizza hiatus. When they were reintroduced, I quickly came back to get my favorite product. Only to become quickly disappointed in the quality and quantity of the ingredients. I then once again quit coming to Taco Bell...

Last night (Saturday, August 30th), it was late, I hadn't eaten and the part of town I was in, my options were Wendy's or what I like to call Toxic Hell. I reluctantly chose Taco Bell.

I placed my order with Malcom whom was very professional and accurate. I ordered 3 Mex Pizzas and a large Pepsi. Once I received my order, I could immediately tell the weight of the bag certainly wasn't under par this time! I quickly opened my product and much to my surprise, these pizzas looked like I used to get them in the early 2000's! They were properly loaded (like they should be) with the proper toppings and fillings. Not only did they absolutely look amazing and to spec, they tasted even better!!! They were fresh, not rancid, and were incredibly filling for my huge appetite. I raved about them to my wife and daughter. I then tried to call to compliment the cook and get their name. However, I didn't get an answer on the phone. I then went back to the location and much to my surprise, they had a decent length of a line for drive through. Henceforth, why the phone wasn't answered. I made my way back to the window and praised all the staff and got the names of the two fine cooks that should be training people nation wide on how to properly make a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza. Tony & AJ, I am here calling you out on Google reviews for all who look at reviews to give you a pat on the back. Your finished product was amazing! I WILL be back to this location and hope that these three are working again because they restored my faith in the Taco Bell franchise! Cooperate, take note! You have a great staff with these three and I hope that they receive praise and appreciation for their attention to detail, making a great product and customer satisfaction. Malcolm, Tony and AJ, thank you. I'll be back. I appreciate a great visit.“

“I’ve been to MANY Taco Bell’s in my time..
but this particular location is BY FAR THE BEST ONE I’VE EVER BEEN TO!!! The works are exceptional, everyone is seriously smiling!! Extremely efficient, fast moving & good at what they do!! You get what you have ordered!! The store is easily the cleanest, the floors are NOT greasy & slick, all the tables are wiped down. It’s just the best!!
HIGH FIVE YOU ALL!!!
AWESOME JOB!! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!! THANK YOU!!“

“Very very clean, all employees we interacted with were very polite and smiling. Food was hot, fresh and VERY good. We got here 6/11/2026 at about 3:15. This Taco Bell is the best we've ever been too. Will recommend it to everyone. Thank you for your service.“
