    For a little hole in the wall restaurant it wasn't that bad smell place with tables and chairs casual ambiance. The service was self serve so the only service was the person cooking or making drinks . The food was ok not the best but when you're hungry it's good

    Baja Fish Taco, Chipotle Chicken Taco & Ground Beef Taco (taco sampler) with a refreshing vodka soda.
    Erber D.

    This food was delicious and drink was refreshing. The server suggested I try the trio taco sampler if I wanted some different tastes so I already knew the service was off to a GREAT start. The restaurant itself is located right next to the Country Music Hall of Fame and had both indoor and outdoor seating. It was the perfect setting for a post-museum bite. The tacos were absolutely AMAZING.

    Sexto Salad with smoked pork

    Bajo Taco is adjacent to and in the same building as the Country Music Hall of Fame and is just as convenient and offers better food choices than the museum cafe (which I admit I did not try but cmon who are we kidding here). Avoid the watered down Horchata and get the Sexto Salad with smoked pork - mouthwateringly tender and blends incredibly well with the fresh spring greens/romaine, guacamole, steamed long grain rice, chips, radish slices and coquita cheese. Every bite is a symphony of flavors - it will not disappoint. That's all

    Two Baja Fish Tacos, rice and beans lunch special

    Super convenient made to order meals at the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum. Located near the gift shops on the first floor, this was just what I needed after touring the museum.

    Carnita & Chipotle Chicken tacos
    Adam H.

    Stopped in before Saturday's hockey game and the place was packed. The line moved slow at first but picked up quick. The staff was friendly and killed the rush. I had ordered the combo plate with Carnita and Chipotle chicken tacos at $14. While it's a little pricier than I like to pay for tacos that's everywhere now and not just here. Service was quick and the food was amazing. Definitely a go to when I want tacos in the area.

    Pretty good deal

    This is an easy place to pop into after touring Hall of Fame or other Nashville sites. It's clean, the food was tasty and it's busy. Order and pay at the counter, then take a number and they'll bring your food. My guest and I both liked our dishes. I got the Two Taco daily special for $14 that comes with small sides of rice and beans. The tacos were presented nicely but could use a bit more of the sides. It's enough to satisfy and get you back to seeing the Nashville sites. Drinks are bottled or ice water- no fountain. It's crowded inside as tables are close together, but there is an outdoor area too. All in all, a nice stop and since we get a little discount for being CMHOF members we will probably return.

    $7 pre-show margaritas!

    What's not to like? $7 pre-show Margaritas before concerts hockey/ everything? Give them a try!

    Lunch specials 2 tacos and rice

    Serviceable lunch right across the street from the convention center. The food didn't blow my mind, but it wasn't trash either. Fed me with something that wasn't disgustingly greasy. I had a beef hard shell, chicken soft shell and rice. It was just enough food for what I was looking for. Also tried an Agua Fresca which was refreshing on the hot day. Staff was quick, making the line move fast. The wait time to get food was also fine. Not super speedy, but not slow.

    Was in town for a work conference at the music city center. This restaurant is directly across the street from it. They have seating outside and some inside. For the lunch rush on a hot day, there is definitely not enough room inside for everyone. Tried the fish taco and the hot chicken taco. The tacos are small - street taco size, so if you come hungry plan on 3-4 tacos. I definitely recommend both. Very tasty! I also liked that the tortillas are also fresh! There are not any fountain drinks, so be prepared to buy a bottled drink. (Photo is from my coworker as I was already half way done with mine)

    We came here in the mood for tacos before going to the Hall of Fame. This place is in the same building with indoor and outdoor seating. You go up to the counter to order and then they bring you your food and give you a number. They have most Mexican favorites like burritos and tacos and they also have a large selection of alcohol. I ordered one of their slushies which aren't pre mixed with alcohol. They add the alcohol of your choice to it, so I had whiskey. The drink was STRONG. The bottom shelf taste was not well canceled out by the mixer. I ordered three tacos, a Nashville hot chicken, shrimp, and carne asada. The Nashville hot is no joke, it is very spicy. The shrimp were decent and the carne asada was fine. However, it is not authentic; very white washed Mexican food. They did load the tacos to the brim with meat, which I appreciate. I also had a side of rice which was not only hard but the worst excuse for Mexican rice in my life. It was literally white rice with cilantro, disgusting. The pricing wasn't horrible but definitely not cheap. Wouldn't be a stop in Nashville for my next visit!

My fiancee and dad got the birria tacos they did a pretty good job. I got the skirt steak i believe and it was ok. Tender but not too flavorful. Tasted more just like beef. I believe its marinated but i didnt really get hints of any spices. Again, I'm not saying it was terrible by any means. Just left something to be desired. We also ordered the wueso flameado and that was pretty good. Overall a good place to eat. Would recommend checking it out.

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back next time we're in Nashville!

This was my second visit, as we frequent Nashville and surrounding areas. We made reservations near the stage, but that didn't matter because the manager/hostess will put you wherever there is an open spot. There were more than ten people at a round top that would normally seat 6-7. This makes it difficult for the wait staff to maneuver, forcing trays to pop above head level. I kept having to move out of the way, as I was on the end of what I'd refer to as a trough table...you know that long table beside the bar where they put people who don't have reservations...oh wait, we did have them. Didn't matter! But if you make it to a table and decide to partake in the all you can eat, two hour time limit, SET THAT TIMER! I CANNOT BELIEVE it has a 4.9 on Google!!! The food is really heat/serve tasting at best; although it really looks beautiful. I swear the Mahi Taco looked incredible and was almost totally tasteless, not to mention it was on the colder side after being tough from being overcooked. Does make me wonder how long it was sitting after being cooked. It was definitely not cooked to order, as it was literally just a few minutes after ordering that it arrived to the table. We went during Saturday brunch, as there is live music during this slot. The $35 per person/plus 20% gratuity that is added/plus sales tax brought the total for two to right at $90. There was no alcohol consumed, although they do have $25 bottomless mimosa/vodka bar. That is likely the draw of this establishment because it's definitely not the food. The only positive I can mention is the wait staff. They are like worker bees, constantly moving to earn that 20% gratuity...maybe add to that the fact it can accommodate parties (see website) but DEFINITELY the waitstaff works hard. The parking lots on either side are paid spots but I couldn't risk the car getting blocked it, banged up from lack of markings or the gravel incline. There is heavy construction in the area, so expect to pay $20 or more to insure your car isn't in jeopardy. A parking app actually gave the parking lot a 3 due to safety concerns and inability to park in the lot. Basically people park anywhere because it isn't marked at all. And last but definitely not least, those all you can consume spots are terribly loud. I'd blame my gut grenade stomach ache on the noise because I only fully ate one small vegan taco and the tiny mahi strip out of another. Live music or not, I'll pass and find something better.
