50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Old Hickory

“Serving breakfast now. Super good open at 8an“

“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“

“I can only say that contrary to what I've heard. We were given excellent service at the drive through. The food was boxed and quickly handed out that window with a smile. We went home and chowed down on some hot fresh Taco Bell. The sauces we asked for were in there. Along with eating utensils and napkins.Job well done.“

“The East Nashville location is the heart of the operation and part of its charm. The space feels rustic and lived-in, the kind of place where the food—and the people—are the real stars. The service is consistently friendly and genuinely fantastic, adding to the relaxed, neighborhood feel that visitors love. If you’re able, Connie and I strongly recommend finding a seat at the bar and ordering from there. It’s the best way to settle in and soak in the experience and enjoy the hospitality up close.
When it comes to the food, Mas Tacos Por Favor punches far above its weight. The carne molina taco is, without question, the best taco I’ve had anywhere—rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The soups are equally impressive, slow-simmered and packed with comforting depth, and the black beans are outstanding, the kind of side dish you’ll keep thinking about long after the meal. Nothing here feels like an afterthought.“

“Food is great service is great . Jessie was great. Clean and great place to eat“

“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.“

“I decided to give this restaurant a try as I live nearby. The tacos were good. The chicken was a little dry which is why I took off one star. However, the green salsa made up for it. I wasn’t a big fan of the salsa and chips, but luckily it’s free. Also got a side fries, which were delicious. They were fried to perfection and hot. The prices are reasonable. The art in the restaurant is beautiful. Servers were kind too.“

“Great food and service! I can definitely tell ownership has changed! We will be back!“

“Tried Bubbakoos for the first time today. We had no idea about the creative burrito combinations, like the General Tso's Chicken burrito I tried. it was really good! Wish we had tried it earlier. We will definitely go back!“

“We enjoy eating at Dos Margaritas! Great food and friendly staff! They are also great neighbors.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Super good food and the waiter was super cool so you should definitely come because it’s Super good and it’s definitely the best Mexican food ever and the chips are really good and the salsa is really good so I definitely recommend this 10 out of 10 five stars and it’s the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever had so yeah definitely come by It’s the best.“

“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“

“We love the steak tacos and the torta. The green sauce is my favorite too!“

“Pleasantly surprised with the food and loved the carne asada fries! Husband was a big fan of the menudo and we will definitely be dining again 🤗“

“So I got a flat tire and was ready to hunker down in the car and wait for the tow truck when I noticed San Luis Taqueria. 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!!!💃🏼 💃🏼 💃🏼

“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“

“It has been years since we've eaten at this joint, but it won't be that long before we eat here again. Food and service was great! 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. Sent a photo to her friends and they jealousioso!“

“BEST MARGARITAS AND SALSA EVER!!!!“

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

“Would be nice for the restaurant to open again“

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

“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.“

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

“Decided on Mexican for dinner tonight on the way back home to Michigan. After reading reviews we chose this place. I had the chalupas ( I should have ordered 1 instead of 2. They were huge!!) and my husband had 2 different tacos, al pastor and carnitas. We both kept raving to each other how delicious the food was. Unlimited complimentary warm chips, salsa and a Margarita while waiting for our food was appreciated. Our waiter was efficient, friendly and very attentive. We really enjoyed ourselves after a long day on the road.“

“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 !“

“Great experience. The food on the buffet was very fresh and authentic. Must try. Thank you....“

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