Carne aside had good flavor and sauce but was a little fatty. It's a restaurant inside of a convenience store. I'll have to try the tacos next

If you want to eat real Mexican food not Americanized or TexMex but real Mexican food this is one of the few places in Nashville. Quick question do Mexicans add cheese to tacos? Not necessarily, a real taco is seasoned meat cilantro, and the corn taco. Is this true of all Mexican tacos? No, because Mexico just like America and Europe has different regions. This restaurant reflects Puebla, Mexico. Puebla belongs to the east-central Mexico region. This state in Mexico, borders states like Veracruz, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Morelos... The city of Puebla is the state capital and a major commercial center. City Tacos Mexican food is very different, extremely authentic and the cost is as humble and wonderful as the people that prepare your meal. Not a luxurious setting, (inside a convenience store) but foodies like me view it like taking a trip to Mexico, visiting my friend's Mama's home, and eating her food made with love.

Near The Nashville Fairgrounds is a small market and inside is a little restaurant serving traditional Mexican food. It was our first visit and we were trying sopes for the first time. We really enjoyed the old world recipe, the care taken to prepare and ingredients that comprised these items. We order the grilled shrimp, grilled fish, carne asada steak, the el pastor pork and the grilled pollo chicken. They have a corn base with Mexican cheese and black beans with lettuce, tomatoes and sliced avocado. A generous amount of food for the price and the taste. Great care is taken by the employees to provide such a wonderful meal!

City Tacos is authentically excellent Mexican food! I have eaten here numerous times over the last 3 years and have always had amazing food. The restaurant is family-operated and their passion for authentic Mexican food and hospitality is evident.

This gems has really good Mexican food! The entrance is to the right and up the wooden stairs. The staff is friendly and the food was fresh. I had the carne asada sopes (they taste better than they look in the picture) and they were the best I’ve had in Nashville. The watermelon juice was refreshing.

Shared space with a small convenience shop. Truly a "hole-in-the-wall" vibe. Family-owned, cooked to order. Excellent food. Highly recommend if you like authentic street food.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food look no further than City Tacos. I ordered the chicken soup with tacos and it was outstanding. I highly recommend and will be back.

This little place is full of flavor! Authentic Mexican food, everything goes right at this place! You can get the real street tacos and Mexican “aguas frescas”. Unbelievable how many people you can see at lunch time.

Wonderful little restaurant! Food was excellent. We both had the El Pastor street tacos. Located in a beer, vape and tobacco shop, so you see customers coming and going. Everyone was very polite.
