“Excellent vegan food!!! They have lots of vegan options and everything I have tried has been amazing. Their vegan queso is so good!! The owners are very nice and will take good care of you!“

“We came across this taco truck while visiting Tennessee 😋 the food was fantastic. I would say the most flavorful Mexican food I've had since moving to the area.. if you're ever in the area make sure you stop by and try it out... I ordered a vege burrito and if you like spicy get the hot sauce.. they give you a small container of sauce of your choice.. the hot sauce was just right 🌯 😋 this will be my stop next time I'm close by“

“My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant!“

“We love tacos and this is our favorite taco truck for sure! The pickled cabbage is so good on top of the pollo taconganas! 🤌 all of the flavors come together so nicely. The food is always so fresh and it doesn’t take long. Once you order, just play a game or two and your food is ready!

Kid-friendliness: Fun games to play while you wait.“

“I was in town for work for a couple of days, and I'm so glad I found this place. I had it for dinner both nights. I tried the street tacos as well as the specialty tacos. Chicharrón, al pastor, and barbacoa - all three were incredible, loaded, and perfectly seasoned. Hoping to come back so I can try some of the other proteins and items on the menu!“

“Authentic Mexican food with real Mexican atmosphere“

“Xelente, muy sabrosos tacos !!!!“

“This place was referred to me by one of my patients. I kept saying I can't find any decent tamales since I moved here two years ago. She was please tell me about this lovely little spot I absolutely love their tamale options and have gone back multiple times. My husband was surprisingly pleased with the rice and beans (he's not really a Mexican food fan). I would definitely highly recommend this place!“

“great Birria Pizza! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Going against the latest trend, this food truck is actually stationary and only open at night. This refreshing change up is rewarded by the great food and knowledgeable crew. I loved the Mulitas. They were tasteful and plentiful and beautifully plated. The prices are reasonable. I made the mistake of taking a bite before getting my pictures...lol...so that is why there aren't any. But, since I will go back, I will get multiple pics then.“

“The food is very good . They give you enough food that 2 people could eat off one order .The place very clean and the waitress are very friendly .“

“I did a pickup order with this restaurant and it was done in no time. The staff were so nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was very laid back. It wasn’t very crowded so it was easy to get in and get out. The food was absolutely delicious and well portioned. I had left overs. I would definitely recommend.“

“Yall I’ve been ordering food from these people for three days straight on Uber eats😭😭 when I tell y’all you have to order don’t even think about it just do it! The Al Pastor, Carne Asada & Tripa tacos are 🔥🔥🔥!! Their salsas are also super delicious all 4!“

“El Mercadito de Memphis es mucho más que un lugar para comprar; es un espacio donde se vive la cultura y el espíritu de comunidad. Cada negocio refleja esfuerzo, dedicación y orgullo por nuestras raíces. La variedad de comida, artesanías y productos auténticos hacen que cada visita sea especial. Se siente un ambiente familiar y acogedor, donde los emprendedores encuentran una oportunidad real de crecer y los visitantes encuentran un pedacito de su país. Un lugar que aporta valor a nuestra ciudad y enaltece a la comunidad latina. Altamente recomendado.“

“Am at the point where hearing the word Torta any time within the lunchtime window triggers me like a sleeper agent and I find myself driving down Summer in an almost hypnotized state to get the $10.99 torta de carnitas here. Don’t know how good the other food is. Never ordered it. Torta de carnitas with whatever homemade salsa they’ve got that day, dipping the whole sandwich in it like I’m eating a French dip with au jus. Bread so soft. Carnitas so tender. Salsa so smoky. Torta de carnitas…..“

“My husband and I have been getting tamales from Pop’s since he had his little cart on the corner. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get a few dozen because you will eat them all! We love the spicy! Pop’s is a great little place. The food and the atmosphere is the best! Highly recommend!!“

“Muy rica comida!! 100% sabor, calidad y servicio“

“Good Authentic Mexican Food 😍“

“Great food I must say me and my friends have lunch dates all the the time at the Winchester location and the staff is kind and friendly food was delivered hot and fast..“

“This was my first time trying their food, & it DID NOT disappoint. I'll definitely be back. I ordered the Birria Pizza (Pollo) and Asada Taco (single) from the 2760 Perkins location. They have several locations throughout the city.

Kid-friendliness: Free outside dining that includes games like connect 4 and other games you can play while you wait. Kid and adult friendly.“

“Had the grilled fish taco and cheese dip n chips, freah good tasting food and decent prices. Will be back“

“absolutely delicious food & easy going atmosphere“

“The food here is some of the best Mexican food in town. It's always so fresh and full of flavor! I just wish the music wasn't quite so loud. Other than that you always get your food super quick and is always delicious! Highly recommend!“

“🔥🔥🔥 that's all I have to say“

“Hands down, no exception, beyond a reasonable doubt, unequivocally.... the best tacos in town! I need to figure out how I ordered the first time because they were dipped in a red broth or something, and it was amazing! Love all the tacos I have ordered so far.
I can't wait to go back again and again!!!
Service is great and if you're somewhat in a hurry, this should be your go-to.
I'll try to take pics next time.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Best Mexican food I have ever had!“

“Great ground beef tacos 🌮“

“Very authentic Mexican ice cream place. Very low-key . Super good quality snacks and sweets. Totally recommend!!! I prefer going here rather than La Michoacána.

Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating. They have seats and tables for the children to sit. And even have a tv they sometimes play kid movies on. The whole store look very vibrant and attractive to the eye. Kids will enjoy being in here to eat some treats !

Parking: The parking is Infront of the store. However because the store is low key there's not much space to park. You would need to mainly park in the store next to it to have good and safe parking.“

“For sure some good tacos. I got about 4 #1's which came with 5 tacos each and I made sure to mix up the different type of meats. Each one of them were very good and flavored well. And the salsas were also good to go along with them. Will be back !“

“Look, being a Cali native and Mexican, I know a thing or two when it comes to my peoples' food lol. Nuff said. To that extent, I'm a huge foodie so I love all sorts of food and have had variations of Mexican food from several different countries; my palate can attest to that. So, with all that being said -- this place serves pretty solid Mexican food. I've tried margarita storm, charlie browns, and a few others. They all have their merits, and honestly, most of these places charge an arm and a leg for a damn taco. lol So give these guys a break. Overall, the food in my experience at least, has tasted great. Service was pretty good too; it's a small place, but they've recently moved to a new location which I love. Their pricing isn't bad, like at all lol. And their taco tuesay, don't even get me started on the variety you get from this place. It's awesome. Their horchata, not bad. Beer selection, also not bad. Overall, this place isn't bad at all. Now, is the best? hmmm, perhaps not, but it meets my needs and I'm happy with that tbh. If you want gourmet mexican food in thailand, expect to pay accordingly.“

“Great food, had to go try it out after hearing so many good things about it. We spinnin back for Tacos n Gnanas.“

“Amazing service! I recommend you to come“

“Best mexican restaurant in Memphis“

“Been going for years and still can’t get enough. The tacos are to die for!“

“This food was so good. It tasted like really good home cooking. They were so friendly and helped me decide what to order, which wasn’t easy because it all looked good, and honestly I wanted everything. I decided to try the beef soup. Hearty, delicious, and filling big bowl of soup with beef, potatoes, corn, cabbage. It was so homey and authentic and real, that I think the soup probably changes based on the ingredients and la Señora deciding what she wants that day.

I have to go back soon for the tacos. Or the empanadas. Cheese and banana empanadas! Ok yes. That’s what I need next. Or tamales? Help!

Dec. 24, I got some tamales to add to the Christmas dinner feast. Chicken, cheese, and pork. I heated them on low in the oven Christmas Day, and they were all excellent. I think I’ll make tamales part of our family’s Christmas tradition from now on.“

“So had my first experience at Salsa on Poplar Ave ... Absolutely Awesome from the moment you walk in the door......
