Ok. I am going to pile on with 5* reviews - really like Family Taco - easily in my top 2 Taco places in Nashville. Great selection of plates and tacos - big servings, great green red salsa's, quick and friendly service. You can eat outside or they have a large inside area with booths and tables. They have parking in front or a big lot along the side of the building. We experienced Family T both for Taco Week and Hot Chicken week - boy what a great deal then too!! read more

This is hands down my favorite taco shop in the greater Nashville area! Living in Nashville as a Chicagoan who lived in the Pilsen neighborhood for a time, my standards for tacos are HIGH. I had such a hard time finding a good go to in Nashville and I was so happy to stumble upon Family Tacos! It's a small front area but there's plenty of seating if you venture to the back. It's no frills, almost take out style, but they do bring out your order to your table so the service is really awesome. There are no bad menu items here but man their tacos are incredible. I like the birria but the steak are great as well! read more

This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. We placed an online order, only to arrive and be told they never received it. We patiently reordered everything in person, only to then be informed that they were out of steak, requiring us to change every meal. Between the original online order and waiting at the restaurant, we spent well over an hour just trying to get our food. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end there. When I got home, my order was incorrect. I returned to the restaurant expecting a simple apology and correction. Instead, I was met by an incredibly rude young employee at the front desk. Rather than apologizing for the restaurant not receiving our online order, running out of menu items, the excessive wait, or preparing my order incorrectly, he immediately insisted on checking the contents of my bag as though my word wasn't credible. When I told him that I found that approach rude and that he should simply believe a customer who had already experienced multiple mistakes, he responded, "That's my boss's policy." When I continued expressing my frustration, he told me, "You don't tell me how to do my job," and added, "It's not my fault or the kitchen's fault your order went wrong." To make matters worse, when I asked to speak with the manager, I was told, "You cannot talk to the boss--he is busy right now." Instead of taking ownership of the situation, apologizing, or attempting to make things right, I was essentially told to check my receipts and dismissed. Mistakes happen in every restaurant. Running out of an item, losing an online order, or preparing the wrong meal can all be forgiven when handled with professionalism and genuine concern for the customer. What cannot be overlooked is the complete lack of accountability, empathy, and basic courtesy displayed by the front desk employee. His dismissive attitude and disrespectful responses turned what could have been a minor inconvenience into an experience that guarantees I will not be returning. Management should seriously reconsider who is representing their business at the front counter. Customer service begins with acknowledging mistakes, apologizing sincerely, and treating customers with respect--not arguing with them or refusing to let them speak with a manager. read more

This is a Nashville staple people. Authentic Mexican food at an outstanding price. The lunch special is incredible. The service is quick and polite. You can feel the authenticity as soon as you walk in. Very nice place. I go here ALL - THE - TIME. Best birria in Nashville hands down. My one criticism is they don't have a rewards program! It would make me go so much more. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots. The tacos are good, although I do wish the fish/shrimp had more seasoning. The lunch special is a great deal because you can get 2 tacos and rice and beans for under $13. The horchata is also amazing! The people working there are very warm and welcoming I also love they have a little patio area in the front to eat at. Although off a busy section on Charlotte avenue, parking is fairly easy and right out front. read more

Family Tacos - Lunch special: 2 fish tacos w/rice and beans and guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Just Eh. First off, the girl got my order wrong so maybe it would be have been different if she wouldn't have? But I will say after bringing my tacos back to my office the tacos were just "Eh." Nothing to write home about but not bad, per say. Just not good. I definitely wouldn't go again. I am a big salsa fan and I'm pretty sure I got siracha and yum yum sauce (seriously, southern people?). That's not Mexican food. I should have taken a hint from the menu when it had "chips and queso" but chips and salsa. I asked for shrimp tacos with onions and cilantro and two asada tacos... they all came bare. That was a bummer. But also, the asada cuts were pretty decent but not a lot of flavor and the shrimp was pretty much the same. Especially for the price. 18 bucks for 4 tacos?!I had high hopes coming from the West Coast looking for legit Mexican spots. It's possible this place has been catering to the southern taste buds too long... Not sure. But this is not good Mexican food. read more

So here's my review. I've been here over ten times and the food is pretty good, seating is nice and the restaurant itself is clean. Here's what made me finally leave a review - every time I have gone in and a middle aged lady is working the counter, she is so off putting and rude - it feels like she is annoyed that I am even trying to order food. I ordered a $14 burrito and this is how it came wrapped. Not grilled, cheese is t melted, seems thrown teacher. It makes me not want to return. I always order politely with a smile and tip and she has such a bad attitude. Anyways, that's why I'm taking off two stars, customer service needs to be better. read more

Family Tacos - Burrito de Pollo / Chicken Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A weekly craving of mine! Haven't found a better taco place in Nashville. Highly recommend

This was an amazing taco shop about a year ago, but over the last year it has slowly gotten worse and worse. The staff used to be good but now the men that run the cash register are so slow and very rude to you. The food itself was really good about a year ago, burritos and tacos used to be big and juicy. but the last 4 or 5 months the quality has gone straight down and now the meat taste cheap like it is glued together, and has a weird aftertaste like aluminum metal. I took my wife here to eat a few weeks ago and she even complained and said the food was horrible and the staff was so lazy! Avoid this place in 2025 - 2026 until new management and better quality of ingredients is used. You can literally get the same quality at bar taco which is a high quality taco shop, for about the same price. Super overpriced and not worth it. read more

I have some things to say about this place so I need to gather my thoughts. Upon first impression, this was not what I expected it to be. It seems like it was a good truck with a patio from the outside but upon going inside, I could see there was another area indoors that was not as well decorated as the outside patio. I had heard lots of good reviews from my friends and relatives. But as we all know... first impressions can be deceiving. I was able to place my order within a few minutes of going through the door. It did take a bit longer than expected to get my order. But once I did receive it, a couple of things were missing. Some of my food as well as some of the toppings. I mentioned this to the person at the front and they took back my food. I waited for another couple of minutes before they returned with my food. I went home to eat without reopening my food but thankfully it was all there that time. Here's where my not so great experience turned around. The flavor was much better than expected and to my surprise, my family enjoyed the meal much more than what I anticipated after my initial impression. Although I was not a fan of the chips or the queso, the actual tacos made up for the rest of the meal. Would go back. read more

I ordered delivery, got 3 birria tacos and horchata. The tacos tasted pretty good. Nice and juicy, good amount of cheese and onions. Tacos weren't as crispy as I would like, but I imagine they'd be better fresh. Loved that they gave me a bunch of limes! I had asked for no cilantro but there was cilantro. Could've been miscommunication from the delivery app to the business. Pretty good tacos tho, would definitely order again 4/5. The horchata was really tasty. You get a good amount. I think it should've had more cinnamon but that's me. Not too sweet. 3.5/5. Overall, I'd come back for sure! I'd like to go in person next time to get the full effect. read more

Family Tacos - Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The food here is fantastic! These are some of the best birria tacos that I've had in Nashville. The queso with chorizo is also super scrumptious. My husband is always trying different tacos on their menu, but I just stick with the birria tacos because they're so good! The horchata here is also amazing. I'm super picky with horchata because my mom makes it at home all the time, but the one here is almost just as great! Definitely worth a try! read more

I truly love finding a local hole in the wall restaurant wirh delicious food, but this fell short of my hopes. I ordered a quesadilla, which was super cheap, but it came out slimy, fried, and arguably not a quesadilla. The shell wasn't bad, but the chicken was stringy and tasted boiled with very little seasoning. It wasn't sealed like an empanada and it fell apart becoming very difficult to finish. My roommate used to bring home their queso, which I remembered fondly, but it wasn't as good as what she used to bring home. So either they changed the recipes or they had an off night. There was also a doorbell alarm going off every minute for the last 20 minutes we were there which got old pretty quickly. read more

Food is really tasty - meets our California standards and then some. We had shrimp, birria, carnitas and al pastor and everybody was happy. Guacamole was good maybe a little over mixed which seems to be the style in the south. Service was fast and friendly and prices were reasonable. There are outdoor tables and tables as well as tables inside. It's a really good stop for lunch. read more

Family Tacos - Friendly painting on the wall. - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had a great time eating dinner at Family Tacos. Family Tacos serves Mexico City street food. There is a suprisingly attractive outside patio and food truck window at one end of the strip mall they are located in. However with the extreme heat we have been experieincing, there is an inside dining area which is just as attractive. The white walls are covered with sayings (who knew a tortilla has fewer calories than an apple) with a high ceiling and comfortable casual seating. They have put out some board games for those who want to sit an relax as well as eat. Our group tried the tacos, burritos and huaraches. It was my first time having a huarches which is a thicker tortilla topped with meat, beans and toppings. (Reminded me of a flat bread pizza). Huaraches are common in Mexicio City. Freshly prepared and if you review the pictures, you can see several different styles of food prep. No one complained and thoroughly enjoyed my huarache. For beverages, they had U.S. and Mexican sodas as well as horchatta and aqua fresca. Enjoy! read more

1st time here...the carne asada tacos are delicious, large and plentiful. Green salsa was not too hot which I prefer and the guacamole is authentic. Will be coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Very cute family atmosphere. There is a patio outside to sit, or an indoor seating area. The indoor seating is limited (only 8 tables) but it wasn't too busy when we went! Prices are very fair here and the waiters are super nice! I got chicken and barbacoa birria tacos. The barbacoa burrita was so good! I'd highly recommend that! read more

I'm sure glad my cousin wanted tacos. I came to Yelp to find a great place to get tacos. We were close to centennial park. And I just look up restaurants that were near me. I found family tacos, which had excellent Yelp and google reviews. I arrived at the restaurant and parked right in front of the restaurant. I should mention that it's on a busy street and when you leave you may have trouble backing out if it's in rush hour. The also have an out door eating area. The customer service is great and the food is amazing. I had the carnitas and steak tacos. Wow! They were so good. The dining area was nice and clean. I would definitely recommend this spot, excellent customer service and excellent food. read more

I stumbled across this location while out in Nashville. I always love a good taco stand. As far as location and cleanliness it hits all the marks. As far a flavor the chicken and fish taco was under seasoned. I have had many authentic tacos so it was okay. Nothing memorable for me to return. The service is quick and plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Try it out for yourself. read more

Family Tacos - Chicken taco, fish taco, rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I came here with a group and we were able to enjoy the patio area. I ordered a small guac and steak & chicken tacos. This hidden gem did not disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing. The steak tacos were my fav but the chicken came in at a close second. The food is flavorful and at very reasonable price. There's a small parking lot next to the restaurant and street parking nearby. The service was great. The food came out timely and everyone was able to enjoy their meal. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. I'm always happy to support a family owned business read more

Let me start by saying I actually give this place like a 2.2 I'm leaving one star so that we can try and adjust the FIVE STAR rating to something more realistic. I got so hyped when I saw the reviews. But I walk in to a slapped together establishment with no sense of direction when it comes to service. The girl at the counter was nice enough, but there was no direction on where to go or how to proceed with ordering seating, or any of the other things you would imagine would be normal for a restaurant. We ordered upstairs, next to the soda fountain. She asked what drinks we wanted, then told us to go sit downstairs. The. She brings us empty cups and says you can get your drinks back upstairs. What was the point of that? Why no just give us the cups while we were there? I figured if the decor is so random and the service was so confusing, the food must be amazing right? Nope, just random under seasoned mess for the most part. I had three tacos and my wife had a chicken burrito. The Pastor taco was good and the sauces were also good, but that's where it stops. The carnitas were the driest I've ever had in life. The burrito was mostly just beans with no sight of the chicken or other toppings. The fish taco was ok but it comes with fried fish instead of grilled which is weird. The rice was dried out and the beans were beyond flavorless. It's called salt guys. Bathrooms were very clean though. Someone told me the problem was I should've gotten the Birria tacos (I guess that's what there known for?). But if your restaurant stakes its name on ONE menu item, you're doing it wrong. Wasted lunch in Nashville. Don't buy the hype, this 5 star score was obviously purchased. read more

Family Tacos - Birria taco, Carne asada taco - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A coworker recommended this quaint Mexican spot, and let me tell you, it's a (semi) hidden gem on Charlotte Ave.! The al pastor taco was awesome - tender meat, nicely seasoned, and served with piece of pineapple, which is surprisingly hard to find. But the real star was the pozole; it was rich, hearty, and packed with authentic Mexican spices as well as generous amount of veggie toppings. The atmosphere may be low-key, but the taste is anything but. A must-try, especially for pozole (weekends only)! read more

Family Tacos - Pozole and Al pastor taco - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

At the time I'm leaving this review this place has a solid five stars and there's reason for that. The food is great and so is the service. On the wall inside it says attitude is everything and they definitely have the right attitude. So happy to have found another authentic taco restaurant in west nashville. It's a family owned restaurant that's always a plus in my book. The owner is really nice. While we were waiting once let us try some juice. The barbacoa tacos here are my favorite. The first time I discovered the place I drove past it twice. It's next to what looks like a garage on it's left side if youre driving up Charlotte away from downtown. It has a food truck in the front just so you know. There's gravel parking on the side. read more

Not authentic tacos at all. Won't be back. I got the carne asada and the meat was not seasoned well at all. Tacos were bland and elote tasted store brought. read more

This is an honest-to-goodness, family-owned taco joint with both porch and indoor seating. We visited Family Tacos for their taco Tuesday discount special. There's additional parking in their private lot, so don't feel intimidated by how busy Charlotte Avenue gets around rush hour. Trust me, the tacos are worth the dinner rush home. At the counter, they will ask you if you want the taco Tuesday special or their regular tacos. This makes me think that, possibly, the amount of meat and filling might differ? Regardless, we got about 3-4 tacos a piece, and that was enough to satisfy two grown adults. I believe I had the carnitas and al pastor. We ate them extremely quickly, especially with their generous helping of lime wedges and house salsas. Given the awesome deal, I was surprised to see plenty of seats (and parking) available. You should definitely check out this tacqueria gem in West Nash. read more

The huarache with al pastor was very tasty. They have paletas!!! Finally a place in Nash with paletas (popsicles) again. read more

Service was great. Price is decent however unfortunately I don't understand the 5 stars. My refried beans taste was water down. The veggies in the Mexican rice were like overly dehydrated vegetables. I think it's more of a popular location. I'll stick with Las Palmas, Tequilas Restaurant ( maybe 1 mile down from FT) and the Taco Trucks. The steak taco meat seasoned well but veiny not ideal for tacos. Disappointed due to the 5 star reviews. read more
