50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Old Hickory

“We love our neighborhood family owned restaurant!“

“Amazing food! The lady who works there is super friendly and service is always very fast. Cali native, so I know a great taco truck. Even though I'd love for them to have more and more business, I can't help but selfishly hope no more people move to this area! :P“

“Enjoyed everything ! Great Margaritas“

“New Taco Bell in Old Hickory. It is usually very good. Sometimes I've had not so great service at the drive thru window but mostly smiling faces. Was better when it first opened, but I understand why they wouldn't always be so chipper. So I don't think much of it. Food is always hot and fresh.“

“Love the old school feel of a Cantina with a bar outside eating. Walk up order bring it to your table. You have a bar where you can order drinks. Eat tacos in the sunshine or eat them inside. They also play great eclectic tunes. I had great service when I was there.“

“So delicious. We’re from out of state and we’re looking for a dinner away from the center of Nashville, that wasn’t a chain. We literally saw it on Google maps right before we passed it and decided to stop. SO glad we did. I’ve been missing the good pupusas I used to get in NW Arkansas, and was so happy when I saw them on the menu. We also had a sope al pastor, chorizo tacos and a new-to-us dish called pollo con tajadas. I recommend ALL of them.“

“Went here for late night Mexican and boy was it tasty! Fresh ingredients, served hot from the kitchen super fast service. Chicken fajitas were the bomb. Salsa with chips so perfect. Large menu. Festive outdoor area, playing Mexican music at a moderate level but still had great convo. If you're looking for a quiet fancy place this isnt it, more dive hole in the wall. Yummy, authentic, highly recommend!“

My wife had a mango margarita, we got a large queso which was plenty! Plenty of queso to drench our dishes too...I took the spinach Quesidillas and my wife took a side dish, rice w/chorizo, which was quite large. Their salsa was chunky and not watered down.

Parking: This is in a strip mall so plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, they have a bar, however a majority of the seating is family style.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is all one level so all good for wheelchairs.“

“Review of San Luis Taqueria in Nashville

I stopped by San Luis Taqueria in Nashville on a whim for a late afternoon lunch, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. I ordered four tacos Mexican-style with the addition of tomatoes, and I was impressed with the quality. The tortillas were homemade, which added a delightful, authentic touch to every bite. The tacos were perfectly seasoned, fresh, and packed with flavor.

I also tried a sope, and it was exceptional—rich, savory, and wonderfully crafted. The accompanying red and green hot sauces were the perfect complements, offering just the right balance of heat and flavor without overwhelming the dishes.

Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was spotless. Both the dining area and the bathroom were immaculately clean, which speaks volumes about their commitment to maintaining high standards. The service was equally remarkable—the staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome throughout my visit.

San Luis Taqueria delivers on all fronts: authentic, delicious food, a clean environment with excellent service. It’s a hidden gem worth visiting if you’re craving quality Mexican in Nashville. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This is place was great our first time here and very impressed we have been going to a restaurant in Atwater and we will no longer be giving them out business“

“My wife found this gem randomly when we needed some lunch after golf. Exceeded our expectations! No frills and just great Mexican food. We got a couple of tacos and quesadilla. But the Mulita was the winner. The beans are out of this world. 10/10.“

“Great service and atmosphere…..authentic Mexican food“

“Absolute the best taco truck in Nashville. 5 Stars for Food Quality, Menu Creativity, and Authenticity. I am addicted to the Barbacoa Tacos, add Avocado, with a side of Consommé. My most recent trip, I was encouraged cheerfully by the sweet cashier to branch out & chose Fish Tacos instead. OMG!!! They are super incredible. Definitely get the slaw. Also… I finally tried the Fried Bananas- absolutely incredible! I grew up eating Cuban fried plantains in Florida. These are very different than those. They have sour cream, queso fresco, and are carmelized to perfection: I can’t wait to try the Breakfast menu. I believe they serve it all day… ALSO! Do not miss out on homemade Agua Frescas. My absolute favorite is the Tamarind, it paired so well with the fish. Their Horchata and Jamaica are equally delicious. They have a really cozy covered little seating area outside of the gas station. This family owned business is so friendly, and talented. They let me sit at the back table by the big fan last time I ate there! There’s a creek right behind there and it’s a very peaceful little picnic hang. Taqueria La Jarochita is a Nashville gem… enjoy a waterside outing to Hermitage at Tulip Grove, just as you hit Mt. Juliet on Old Lebanon Pike! And stop for tacos while you’re out that way.“

“Never had a bad meal or bad service. I eat there very often!!“

“Best Mexican Restaurant around. Food is great and the employees are so attentive and friendly. Los Tres Amigos 2 will not disappoint!“

“Awesome as always is Jus saying“

“Excellent breakfast and lunch , very fresh and flavorful.“

“Worst service and food I have ever had at cinco de Mayo. We normally go to the White Bridge Road location. We always have great service but the Hendersonville location today was really really bad. The waitress was really rude. She did not speak or understand English very well. I will never go back there or recommend this place to anyone.“

“mi familia y yo comimos aquí en nuestro último día de vacaciones en Nashville. Los meseros fueron muy amables y atentos incluso con mis 2 niñas. la comida muy deliciosa y diferente a la comida mexicana del estado de Washington. les recomiendo probar el postre de tres leche 😋 delicioso“

“They catered a party for us (we picked the food up) and the food was fantastic ! Getting our order in was easy! Manager is super friendly, and very helpful. The rice is good, beef tacos were amazing, but the chicken tacos ? Those were…LOVELY. 10/10 … they will be my go to place from here on out. From dine in- to go- or catering. They got my business !“
