“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“Burros, Quesadillas, Elote; all delicious!“

“The picadillo lives in my dreams. I crave it every day.“

“Lively and fun with excellent service. The food is very good on our first experience. I will take issue with the Don Julio Skinny TX Margarita I had, I wounder if it actually had any of the declared ingredients; Don Julio Reposado, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice and agave nectar. I regularly make this particular margarita at home, so I know what it tastes like. Suggest to stick with their House Margarita, I figure that's what I got for more than double the price. Will definitely go back ...“

“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.“

“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.“

“The service was top notch, the food was divine, and I can’t wait to come back the next time I visit Nashville!“

“I had the shrimp and chorizo nachos, which were excellent. Normally when I eat Mexican food I feel awful for hours afterwards but I still do it because it’s soooo good. I actually felt pretty good physically after eating these, which was a pleasant surprise. Having cholula hot sauce at the tables is an understated boss move.“

“Baja Burrito is a beloved local gem, and it seems like the only place that hasn’t hiked prices up due to inflation. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in town and has been for the last 18+ years. They have delicious & fresh build-your-own tacos, burritos, taco salads, etc. It’s usually pretty busy, but they are always quick down the line! They also have several overflow parking lots beside and behind the restaurants. I will always recommend Baja to someone looking for good Mexican food!

Parking: You can park next door at The Wreath Stand, behind the building in a few marked spots, and behind + across the street is another additional lot!“

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

“I've had dinner twice at the Paducah, KY location and it has been great. The food is fresh and delicious, portions are generous, and prices are fair. The complimentary chips and salsa bar is also a nice touch. The restaurant is also clean, and staff are friendly. I'm looking forward to eating here again.“

“Hands down absolutely the best Mexican restaurant to eat at in West Nashville TN
I've been coming here since I was a kid and enjoy coming here. They are really amazing and sweet people that work here.
Yes you can eat inside or out .
Love there food ..
I would absolutely recommend coming here if you want Mexican food. (The Best of the Best)“

““The place offers takeout food, although many people buy it to eat in their cars or standing nearby. However, it’s recommended to order it to-go. The chicken combo comes with tortillas, smoked chicken, caramelized onions, house-made beans, and is a 10/10 recommendation. For me, it has an authentic homemade flavor that makes the food incredibly appetizing.”

Parking: “The parking lot fills up quickly because there are many popular spots nearby, but there is also free parking available on nearby streets.”

Wheelchair accessibility: “All access is wide enough for a wheelchair.”“

“Trivia with David from Trivia Time was an absolute blast! Weekly Sundays at 7, so fun! He brings so much to the Trivia night and is an excellent host.
Molly was our server and she could have a career in voicing hypnosis tapes- the most genuinely relaxing and kindhearted lady.
Food was DELISH and the fajita went halfway home with me for lunch tmrw.“

“Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Best Long Island I’ve had in a very long time.“

“If you want to eat real Mexican food not Americanized or TexMex but real Mexican food this is one of the few places in Nashville. Quick question do Mexicans add cheese to tacos? Not necessarily, a real taco is seasoned meat cilantro, and the corn taco. Is this true of all Mexican tacos? No, because Mexico just like America and Europe has different regions. This restaurant reflects Puebla, Mexico. Puebla belongs to the east-central Mexico region. This state in Mexico, borders states like Veracruz, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Morelos... The city of Puebla is the state capital and a major commercial center. City Tacos Mexican food is very different, extremely authentic and the cost is as humble and wonderful as the people that prepare your meal. Not a luxurious setting, (inside a convenience store) but foodies like me view it like taking a trip to Mexico, visiting my friend's Mama's home, and eating her food made with love.“
