Best tasting Mexican I have had in my commute to Nashville. I will remember this place in my travels and look forward to returning. I got the Burrito Pinata with rice on the side, and a tall Dos Equis. The food is not expensive and worth the exit if you are searching for good eats on your commute on I40. I consider myself a connoisseur of Mexican restaurants, and this one, although humble on the outside has all the love on the inside. You won't regret it.

Always consistent and delicious! Carnitas, lengua, all of it! Servers are all friendly and remember you, drinks are great, it’s pretty much perfect neighborhood Mexican food spot!!

Giving 3 stars because the food is very good. However, it shows the lunch special veggie fajitas as 7.99. The lunch special fajitas with steak or chicken is 10.99. However, I paid 16.38 for veggie fajitas. I was not given a total price on the phone when I ordered, and when I called to ask about the price I was told the veggie fajitas are no longer on the lunch menu. Which is fair I suppose. But I paid 5 dollars more for just veggies than if I had gotten them with steak or chicken....
