Seat yourself restaurant with, in my opinion, speedy service from the waiter. I ordered the Chile Verde which I thought was exceptional. Food was cooked well and was served in a timely manner. Prices were not bad at all! Lunch menu is affordable. They do bring out chips and salsa for you to munch on while you are waiting for your apps and entrees to arrive. I thought the use of Corona bottles as salt and pepper shakers was super adorable and resourceful. If I am ever back in Nashville, I will absolutely head this way.

This Mexican restaurant is one of the most hidden treasures in Green Hills. A perennial, long term location admist the every burgeoning commercialization of the old neighborhood.

The owner or manager came out and told us parking was only for their store. However, there was no posted signage to indicate that. Very disappointed in his customer service and attitude. Would not recommend dining here.

My daughter asked if I could put in a take out order for a burrito with a side of rice and beans. When I went to pick up the order I was told the total was over $20! I asked how much the burrito was and he said $5 plus extra for the rice and beans. When I asked how did the price go from $5 to $20 he said because we asked for lettuce, beans, cheese in the burrito. So $6 to add beans and lettuce in the $5 burrito and $6 for a side of rice and beans (times two). I used to love going to this place pre-Covid.

Kind, quick, attentive service and delicious food. This is a convenient location. While eating at the restaurant has always been terrific, take-away has not been. The food is good, but the take away orders may be a different item than what was ordered. Also, ordering is still done over the phone, so there’s no way to confirm the order as there is online.
