13 Best Taco Restaurants near Thompsons Station

“Great food and the employees are polite and friendly every time without fail.“

“The food here is so good! They offer great salsas and a variety of classic Mexican dishes, along with some unique creations of their own. We've already been here twice during our short visit to Tennessee—each time with a different group—and everyone loved the food. The queso is also delicious!

We’re from Chicago, home to many fabulous taquerias, and this place is up there with some of our faves!

Our first visit, the waitress was just okay, but the second time, our server was very friendly and welcoming. Both times, the staff were attentive, but the second experience stood out thanks to the extra warmth. (Not a big deal, but worth noting.)

Just good, flavorful food all around! Can’t wait to come back again soon!“

“A great quick stop in Franklin for some good Mexican food. Customer service is great and prices are decent.“

“The best truck in TN!
Ive been in TN for 6 years now, I have eaten tons of Mexican food locations. This truck by far has the best pastor meat I’ve had here. I’m from south texas and a big boy so I know Mexican food. This place is the best here!“

“Staff was getting slammed when I came in tonight- but man did they get everything out quickly. Food and service was great. Definitely try out the Blue Dream taco!!“

“We hired the Mojo’s Food Truck for a work event yesterday and they were phenomenal. It is so hard to please 100+ people, and they did so well. Service was exceptionally quick and portions were very satisfying. Our staff has asked for Mojo’s to come back to our future events.“

“Pastor tacos are very good and authentic! Had seen the truck on Columbia Ave before and had hesitated to try, but stopped today… will definitely stop again when in the area.“

“San Diego native here! I moved to Austin visiting family in Franklin. I definitely had to stop. Well worth the stop and will definitely will come back! Thank you for making some amazing food!“

“Amazing food! Excellent service!“

“If you’re looking for food that will rock your world and your blood pressure, look no further than the Salsa Food Truck. We hired them to cater my son’s rehearsal dinner, and while the carnitas tacos were nothing short of a religious experience—seriously, I’m still dreaming about them—the road to taco nirvana was paved with pure chaos.

Olga, one of the owners, is… let’s just say “spirited.” She called me two hours before the event asking what day and where it was happening—despite the fact that I had given her that info months ago, and again four days before. At one point, I wasn’t sure if she was coming to cater a wedding or just trying to find her way to a taco dimension of her own.

But the food? Oh, the food. Worth every frantic phone call and spike in cortisol. The carnitas tacos were life-changing. I would almost go through it all again just to have another bite.

So, if you’re okay with a little bit of logistical roulette and a lot of incredible flavor, Salsa Food Truck is your go-to. Just bring your appetite—and maybe a calming tea. 🌮💃🔥“

“I've been on the hunt for the best street tacos in town, and I think I've finally found them. This little taco stand is tucked away in a corner of the city, but it's definitely worth seeking out. The carne asada tacos are my absolute favorite. The meat is perfectly grilled and seasoned, and the tortillas are warm and soft. The birria tacos are also amazing. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and delicious. But what really sets these tacos apart is the attention to detail. The tortillas are made fresh every day, and the meat is cooked to perfection. The toppings are also perfectly balanced, and the salsas are homemade and flavorful. If you're looking for the best street tacos in town, look no further. This little taco stand is sure to satisfy your cravings. I’ve been visiting here since it opened in Franklin and I am happy to see it expand!“

“We are VERY picky when it comes to Mexican food given that we're used to authentic Mexican food which is hard to find in this region. Cinco has great carne asada taco's and my hubby loves the chicken chimichanga. Delicious food, friendly staff, all around our favorite place to eat!“

“Oscar’s is a great choice when you want a basic Mexican burrito or tacos. The simple ground beef tacos with crunchy shells are a solid option. The fajita’s are not great (chicken & beef) as the meat is low quality snd somewhat stringy.
The breakfast burritos are solid.. filled with eggs, cheese (opt potatoes) and you get your choice of sausage, bacon, chorizo or veggie. The food is always made to order so it’s fresh and hot. The food comes out so fast that it’s not worth calling it in… the line moves fast!“
