50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Old Hickory

“I eat here probably every other day, one of my favorite taco trucks ever. The burritos are huge! Tacos are great too. Usually get the chicken. I usually call and order before I get there about 10 minutes and it's ready to go

Parking: It's besides the gas station.“

“This is an awesome family owned restaurant, we have been coming here for years and went to the place the had downtown before they moved out here to old hickory. Never had a bad meal from here everything has always been delicious!!“

“Enjoyed everything ! Great Margaritas“

“Unfortunately lol I'm here 5 to 6 times a week... I can't get enough - the app is easy to use, food is great and their rewards keep me coming back. My tenant tells me I'm keeping them in business!
95% of the time, my order is perfect!
That other 5% there are things missing: food, napkins, utensils, sauces etc. I usually go thru the drive thru - when this happens ill run inside and grab napkins or sauces or utensils.
The other day I got home and noticed a few things missing. I called the store and the manager was pretty great. Told me to take down his name(unique name) and he would tell his employees to compensate me next time I came. A day later, made a mobile order, get to the drive thru, tell them what happened and the lady said oh ya, I'll put that in the bag for you.“

“We stopped here for lunch with a small group after the Getty's Sing!2024 conference. The food (tacos, side of frijoles y platanos) was delicious, reasonably priced, and promptly served. Recommended!

Parking: It is in a busy area, but we found parking on the street nearby.“

“Such good food at good prices. Staff was amazing, so friendly and quick. If you’re in Nashville looking for a good dinner that won’t make you completely broke, come here!“

“The server was top notch and the food was unbelievable. Fresh and delicious! This is a restaurant that will change people's idea of authentic Mexican food.“

“this place is great. staff is friendly. food and drinks great. it is out of the way but worth it. Great absolutely great.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Attended the Taste of the Yucatan private event here on Nov 12, 2024. This was a great intro for locals to get to know a fairly recent entry onto the 12 South scene-- and let me tell you they made a very compelling case for why they should be the Go-To neighborhood spot for area diners. Out of town foodies will love it too, but the owners really wanted to pitch local with the event. The menu for the evening featured flavors from the Yucatan peninsula, which also pull from the Caribbean apparently. The flavors on many of the plates were complex, yet some of the dishes had a home cooked vibe, like a handed-down family recipe-- made new by Chef Santibañez. Cocktails, wine, and other bar offerings were all exceptional. Overall, the food was stunning, and the entire evening was a treat. Another notable highlight was the service: having well-trained and attentive servers add to the atmosphere seems rare to find these days, but Fonda fielded a great crew for the event. Lastly, as a local, one of the more frustrating challenges in convincing my wife and I to go out in Nashville for dinner is dealing with parking, especially in areas like 12 South. Some friends who also attended were able to walk over from their home near Belmont, while we drove over from Green Hills. So a huge asset (for me) is that Fonda has their own parking right behind the restaurant! And it's validated! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit.“

“Burros, Quesadillas, Elote; all delicious!“

“LOVED the Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos! And the slaw was super tasty too.“

“We were in Nashville 2 weeks ago. This place was right down the street from our hotel so we were there like 3 times! Great prices on drinks, food was great and service was amazing! Loved the musicians that entertained us as well! Will be our first stop when we come back!!“

“Great Tacos! The queso is some of the best we have had and the Hot chicken was very very good. Thanks Triple D .“

“Had a great time while there!! Welcome to Nashville!!“

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

“DELICIOSO“

“I consider this place 8Star because it is a 10-I-See definitely! The waitress was the perfect level of friendly & talkative! It's awesome when they hire actual people who are good with talking to the public! The food was authentic & on point! It is beautiful for a small place, they really out do themselves! Their steak and or Chicken Quesadilla is ????? perfect! The food was actually pretty & well presented!“

“The service was fantastic. The food was so delicious. We had a variety of food and not one thing disappointed. It is hard to go any where that every bite is delicious but that is what happened here.If you get a chance you should check it out.“

“We have been coming here for years and love it. The food is top notch and the folks that work there are the best. Armando rocks and is such a great guy. If you're in Hermitage and wanting a great meal stop by...you won't regret it!“

“I got a couple of tacos last weekend, and they may be the best I have ever had 🥲 I’m so sad I don’t live closer, but I will absolutely be back. This place is amazing 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“HOLY COW. My town has very limited options as far as restaurants. Oscar's has entered the picture and set the bar for what a taco or burrito should be.“

“Best Tex-mex I’ve had in Hendersonville“

“Some of the best Mexican food we ever tried---from three Texas teachers!“

“I haven't had a Mexican food experience this good in a very long time. This place is outstanding. The staff and waiter were both friendly and helpful. Jeff walked us through everything and we made our picks. I got a pollo verde taco that was phenomenal. The tomatillo infused chicken and pickled white onion was so flavorful. A seriously good taco. I also got a pollo rojo which has enchilada glazed chicken, black beans and pickled red onion. Another flavor profile stand out taco. These are smaller street tacos on amazing corn tortillas. Eating three or four wouldn't be a problem at all. I also got an order of black beans. These beer braised black beans sprinkled in queso fresco come in a cast iron skillet. These are the best beans I've ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant. The flavor is rich and hearty with delicious queso fresco. I washed everything down with a cold Modelo Negra. It doesn't get any better than that. I can't recommend this place enough! I will be back in June on buisness and this will be my first stop. Truly creative Mexican cuisine at it's best.“

“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 have tried this place numerous times and it is always amazing! the owner (VJ) and staff are always attentive and happy to be there. today i ordered right before closing and even then the staff greeted me with a smile and handed me two hefty portioned quesoritos. this place soars over other related places like Moe's and Chipotle. could not recommend it enough!“

“Authentic Mexican options full of flavor. Fair pricing, big portions, great service. It's a little place, but the experience was great. Bright and vibrant on the inside.“

“Would be nice for the restaurant to open again“

“I really didn’t want to eat at just another Mexican restaurant and found out quickly that this restaurant was not that. The salsa was so very good. The tacos were amazing… ground beef, carnitas, el pastor and carne asada. The corn tortillas were so fresh and prefect. The rice and beans were absolutely delicious. Definitely not a typical Mexican restaurant. I look forward to eating here again on visits and trying more of the menu. Also loved the festive decor!“

“This place is SOOO GOOOD! We got 11 tacos and 3 drinks for only $29 ? They were really good. Then we bought more after our first order. I ate 8 Tacos that's how good they were! I highly recommend grabbing food from here. It was faster than McDonald's, cheaper, and a million times better!“

“This is Latina approved!!!!! We had a favorite Mexican restaurant up in bowling green but after coming here we officially said this was our new fav spot. We ordered the quesobirria and caldo de res and it was amazing. The broth for the quesobirria had such a nice rich flavor and the taco was so fresh!!! The soup was so yummy and had such a good amount of meat (for reference I made my boyfriend 4 tacos with it using the tortillas that were given).The hibiscus drink was delicious too, it wasn’t too sugary like how other Hispanic restaurant make them. The salsa bar was such a good idea too! The salsa verde was the perfect about of spicy and complimented our food very well. As well as the extra limes/radish and pickled carrots that were available to get from the salsa bar. Other restaurants are stingy sometimes for extra limes and stuff but this place was great! I recommend this place to anyone who wants some good Hispanic food, this does not compare to other americanized Mexican restaurants that are popularized around us. 10/10“

“Totally enjoyed our experience at Blanco’s. Food and service were excellent. Even manager Brandon stopped by the table and refilled my empty spicy margarita. The street corn is a must. Allison our server was amazing.“

“great food good service I will recommend anybody to go there“

“Quaint little Mexican cafe. We came across this place by happenstance. And boy, their food is terrific. The queso is creamy and delicious. And we really liked their chips and salsa. The fajitas come out steaming and hot. I highly recommend this place for legit Mexican fare.

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.“

“Truly a wonderful place to eat. Me and my date literally stopped mid conversation and said wow! This is fantastic the service was wonderful as well. If you are in the area eat there you will not be disappointed! I left over 20 percent tip still feel they could've deserved more. Thank you for a truly wonderful lunch experience! Will most definitely return“

“El Grullense Taqueria in Hendersonville is a must-visit spot if you're craving delicious Mexican food. This was my second time eating here, and both experiences were excellent. The first time, I opted for the drive-through and grabbed some tacos, which were absolutely delicious. They really hit the spot, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that stood out.

This time, I decided to sit on their outdoor deck. There were plenty of seats available, which made for a nice, relaxed dining experience. It’s worth noting that El Grullense doesn’t offer table service, so you’ll need to order at the window. Despite that, the setup worked well, and it was easy to settle in and enjoy the surroundings while waiting for the food.

Once again, the food was fantastic. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared, just like the first visit. The staff was also friendly and welcoming both times, adding to the overall great experience.

If you’re in Hendersonville and looking for great Mexican food, I highly recommend giving El Grullense Taqueria a try, whether you’re grabbing a quick meal on the go or sitting down to enjoy your food. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Los mejores mariscos de la región 🤩😍💯y todo el personal súper amables y amigables. Lo mejor la piña rellena desde que la comi aqui no la e probado en otro lugar.!!“

“Comida 100% recomendada... los pambazos deliciosos y los tacos de discada tambien! Servicio rápido y cordial !“

“My children and I were at the Oscar's in MJ this past Saturday. First of all, the food is always amazing. This post is about the service. My daughter choked on a chip and could not get it up. After she did get it up, you can imagine what all landed on the floor. Gisselle did not even give me a chance to clean up after my own kid, in fact she wouldn't allow it. She was so kind and genuinely worried about my daughter. After we got her cleaned up, she checked on her multiple times and just kept telling her how thankful she was that she was ok. Danny, who I assume is the manager continued to check on her as well. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness and understanding they showed my 6 yr old and myself. Food is so yummy, but the service can't be matched. ❤️“

“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 Alex’s across from Rivergate Mall. Their food and fresh fruit waters (aqua frescas)! The wings are great and the house special fried rice is a must! Staff is very friendly as well.“

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

“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.“

“So happy I read the reviews and they recommended fish tacos. Definitely try them so delicious.“

“The staff is top notch, and so very friendly. The food is so full of flavor, and every detail is paid attention to. If you’re ever in the area, and craving a delicious meal; please give them your time. You won’t be disappointed. When there is food on my shirt; La comida es muy, muy bueno!“
