There are many other Cinco de Mayo restaurants, but I travel across town to go here every week. My favorote diahes are Pollo Enquesado and the Mixed Vegetable Plate with Chicken.

Yummy, authentic, highly recommend!“

I am very wary of restaurants attached to gas stations (I know, not fair; but in some cases totally fair!! :). Anyway, I decided to brave it out and eat a taco. Well, I ended up getting the Flautas with extra avocado and cheese and…OHHH EMM GEE!!! This food is freaking delicious!!!! I will definitely return just for these! And the employees are totally kind and sweet!! You gotta try it!!! Yay for gas station restaurants with real Mexican food!!!💃🏼 💃🏼 💃🏼

“Los Palmos is a excellent Mexican Restaurant located near me on Charlotte Ave in Nashville Tennessee. I visit this Restaurant on a regular basis. It's my favorite Mexican Restaurant and I love their food and the service is excellent!! There's a great atmosphere at the Los Palmos Mexican Restaurant. You can go in and relax while enjoying some very good food prepared to perfection. I have ordered different things from their menu and I haven't never had any complaints. Everything served here is very good and delicious. However my favorite items which I usually order is the enchiladas and the Burrito Colorado with chicken. Very tasty!! Anyone who is a fan of good Mexican food I would highly recommend that they try the Los Palmos Mexican Restaurant on Charlotte Ave in Nashville Tennessee on the left side just a short distance past the Kroger grocery store. Everything i have ordered from their menu personally has been under $20. Great Mexican food!!!

“The service was top notch, the food was divine, and I can’t wait to come back the next time I visit Nashville!“

“BEST. BURRITO. I. HAVE. EVER. HAD! We found this place while on our honeymoon and I’m so glad we did.“

“Todo el servicio es increíble y la comida ni se diga riquísimo todo🙏❤️“

“This place has always been spectacular ✨️. I always go here, for the chicken off the grill, with rice, beans, tortillas and salsa. It feeds 4 in my family. Try the store, also they serve tacos, tortas, burrito, sopes, at the walk stand connected to the store that are delicious. They stay really busy so be patient“

“Very friendly staff with good music while you wait and eat for your food outside of the tortillas being homemade and fresh to order.“

“Really diverse menu and well organized! Vegan and vegetarian options clearly labeled if that’s your thing! Such quality and good ingredients. Guac is the best around. Everything cooked well. Elote falls off the Cobb!! Only nit pick I have is could use more seasoning, but that may just be a personal preference! Will 100% be back :)“

“Stopped by for breakfast today. The lady behind the counter was so nice and extremely helpful. She was very attentive and patient which made my first visit very welcoming. The burritos were huge and they did not skimp on anything. The horchata was delicious and very well balanced. It was cold but not watered down like a lot of other places. They have a little cold bar with various toppings salsas, fresh made hot sauces, radishes, lime, jalapeños, cucumbers, and you get warmed chips too. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“One would find themselves walking through assembly food hall overwhelmed with the extensive option that be ( a play on powers that be) laying before them. In the history of great Mexican cuisine (which I am not familiar with) one would have to engage in extensive research, and perhaps palette evolution, to understand the complexities of this, or any, culinary art form. But today… we are satisfying a need to eat. We want to eat Mexican, and we
Want it to be satisfactory on level that we mustn’t have to convince ourselves of. This place does it right. You will not be disappointed, regretful, or longing for a timeline in which you had chosen something else. There is nothing else. Just ask Angie.“

“Service and food. Hats off to you for 32 years!!!“
