We had a waiter, I think his name was Nacho, he’s young and has long black hair and a beard. He was awful! Ruined the whole experience for us. He argued with me when I told him he gave me the wrong plate. Then when I went to the bathroom I saw him messing with another customer’s plate. He put his fingers in the food taking peppers out. I couldn’t eat after that! 🤢

Staff member was rude. The food was ok, not the best I've had. Salsa was awful. chips cold & stale. Fajita burrito had way too many chunky peppers. Rice & beans were bland.

They do not season their food... I got the blanket shrimp fajitas ever and my mom's tacos were bland too. We put our own seasoning on them at home they were so bland! The west end location is so much better

This E Nashville location is spotless and the staff and service were absolutely first-rate.

But the food was as bland as if it came from hospital food service. And like a lot of price friendlier Mexican restaurants I've been to over the last year or so, CDM is using 'hot dog grind' ground beef, a finer grind I'm sure as a way to lower costs. Even that would have been OK, but it's a strange feeling to think I should have brought chili powder or taco seasoning with me.

Was working close by for a week. We went 3 days in a row. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On the first day there were 2 other table that had 2 people at them. It took 1 hour to get food, we ordered drinks as we sat down, didn't get them for 30 mins. Tuesday and Wednesday, not another person was eating still it took a whole hour. Waiters just wonder around and never come back. On Wednesday we order all of our drinks and food as soon as we sat down. Took 25 mins to get our drinks. And told us we could only have 1 drink at a time. We said that wouldn't be a problem if you would ever come back to serve us. Will never go to this location again. On top of this madness the menu read 99 cents for any substitutions then right below it reads absolutely no substitutions...

The food was good. I’d say it’s more American/mexican. Not really authentic.

But still a good place. I got a steak burrito and also tried the cheese and beef Enchiladas it was good. The steak burrito was the “California burrito” it was flavorful steak and had good seasoning. The enchiladas were also decent as well.

I was there for “Happy hour” $4.99 margaritas but was charged full price $13 I told the server, who insisted I got a flavored one but I only asked for a Tajin rim. So make sure you check your receipts cause this happens all the time in Tennessee at majority of the restaurants I’ve been to. I would go back to this place again.

Parking: Street parking, had to drive around the block a couple of times until someone left.
