A small legit taqueria in the middle of nowhere Tennessee…read more If you're passing through and want a quick bite of something that's not fast food or BBQ, stop here: A real, legit taco joint that feel straight from Northern Mexico. I'm unsure how something this good ended up here, but I'm happy it has. The tongue gorditas were little pockets of flavor; the lengua being done just right. $1 tacos (Tuesday's only) were a treat: the asada, pollo, and pastor being good and filling. Stop on by, the only real Mexican joint in Union City.

After hearing about this elusive grocery store/hole in the wall restaurant from several people, my…read morefriends and I decided to give it a shot and it definitely didn't disappoint! The front of the store is jammed with fresh produce in a small fridge and a wall of assorted baked Mexican pastries. The rest of the storefront was squeezed full of different hot sauces and other snacks and drinks. The back of the place was where the food magic happens. The menu is stupid simple (and I mean this in a good way) I opted for the torta cubana that I've heard so much about and IT WAS THE BEST DECISION. I've never had bread like it---super pillowy and soft. The sandwich was stuffed and overflowing with Al pastor and asada and a questionable hotdog/ham love child. The sandwich was huge and I definitely left with a happy full belly. My friends ordered tacos and apparently there was nothing super special about those...it's probably still worth coming back for $1 taco Tuesday! All in all, give this place a shot if you're into those hole-in-the-wall experiences. You won't he disappointed!

We had steak tacos, rice, and beans and everything was perfect. I'd love to try more from their menu! *Their chips and salsa is spectacular. Salsa has a ton of flavor and they bring additional sauces to the table if you'd like more heat. The chips are thin and really crispy and fresh. This place is a knockout -- if you have the chance to stop in then do it!

I had the pleasure of eating at their Wal Mart location today. This is about the third time I've…read moreordered food here but I got a bowl in lieu of tacos.

We got several tacos to share. We got the jackfruit taco, the fish taco (tilapia, corn, pico,…read moreCajun sauce), the island chicken taco, and the jerk chicken taco (mango salsa and purple cabbage slaw). The jackfruit taco was tasty and had a great texture to it--an acceptable meat substitute that isn't trying to be something it's not. The fish taco was well seasoned and the Cajun mayo added a kick. The jerk chicken taco was pleasantly spicy with a ton of flavor. The island chicken taco wasn't my thing--it was too sweet for me. We also got the guacamole and chips. The chips are not homemade, but still salty and simple. The guacamole could use a little seasoning, but it's chunky and refreshing. Menu also offers tacos with shrimp and a black power taco, which is a vegan taco made with black beans. Overall this food truck has a lot of potential. I do think things could be improved, however. Whenever we order, we always wait at least 25-30 minutes. That in itself isn't the issue--it's more due to the fact several people will come up after we've ordered, get their orders, and leave, while we are still waiting. This could be because whatever we ordered is still being prepped, but seems more due to lack of organization. Same goes for their schedule--if we had a little more notice and the schedule was posted with regularity, we would eat there more often. Regardless, I support this business and would continue to try their tasty tacos.

Given the terrible choices in Paris, Tn already me and my family have given this location many chances but today will be our last visit for a long time. Employees always make the excuse that it will be a long wait even if the parking lot is empty and then SURPRISE our food comes out in a few minutes. Food quality is hit or miss but what really did it is the service. Employees are extremely rude, cut you off mid order and tell you your total before you are even done. As a customer service worker myself and a manager of retail this is no way to treat customers. This place needs new management quick.

We decided on Mexican and El Vallarta was close by. It was the best decision ever! The atomosphere was inviting, inside and out. When trying a new Mexican place for the first time, I order either shrimp diablo or chili Colorado. I went with the chili and it was terrific. I'd never had it with mushrooms before, and that little addition to the dish added something I didn't know was missing from all the other chili I'd had in other restaurants. The flavor was one I don't think could ever be improved upon. My buddy was surprised to find pasta shrimp alfredo on the menu and was so intrigued he decided to try it. He loved it. This was my first time in Paris, TN, and now I have reason to drive an hour and a half to visit again. El Vallarta is worth the trip and is a destination in and of itself!
