“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“

“This Taco Bell is independently owned and it shows! The workers are some of the most kind, courteous and fastest, fast food workers I've just about ever encountered. I work in the area so this is based on repeated visits. I've never had a bad experience and I literally passed two other Taco Bells and choose this one every time! Great people doing a great job!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We are at BarTaco Nashville in 12South and while I’ve been there many many times, tonight was my husbands first time. He has a lemon&lime allergy. When we alerted the waiter of this to make sure we weren’t ordering something with them in it, he confirmed a couple items we planned to order would need to be mine since they had lime. Then 2 separate managers came to our table to double check the allergy and need. Primarily to confirm tacos ordered where some ingredients also had lime. They were so attentive and made sure that his food came out on a separate plate with no lime or lime garnish. So incredibly impressive how much they cared his experience was healthy and positive. Much thanks to the staff at 12South for superb customer service and care!!“

“My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time. The day we went, it was packed. We had fast and excellent service. Our food came out hot & fresh. I had the Chimichanga meal & my husband had the chicken fajitas. It was delicious. We enjoyed it so much We came back another day and ordered to go. Even then service was fast & my food was hot & delicious.“

“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“

“I woke up starving and there was nothing to eat in the fridge.

I hit Google maps for the nearest open place to eat within walking distance and this place pops up.

Don't let the Shell station fool you, this place is legit Mexican taco stand type food. Trust me, I know, I live in MX part time and this place makes it right. Fresh ingredients, home salsas, simply amazing.

If you're looking for real MX cafe style food at a great price this is it.“

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

“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 :)“

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

“Ate their food at an MMA event. The price was higher than I woulda liked but their food was extremely delicious. They also do a military discount. Would definitely eat there again.“

“Chris was our server and he was very attentive. He made our whole table smile and laugh which is a gift. Chris is a top notch employee and needs to be recognized for what he does for your customers. People are usually nervous and anxious when flying and he made all those feeling go away. We left feeling easier to go on our journey all due to Chris. Thank you Chris! Keep doing what you do, it truly makes a difference.“
