Everything we had was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. We wanted a booth but were told it was reserved even though no one was ever sat in it, but the table by the windows was nice to watch the nightlife go by. We started with the salsa trio, guacamole, and chips. I loved having a variety of spice levels for everyone at the table, and the guacamole was easily one of the best I've ever had. It was incredibly fresh, with the perfect balance of heat and salt and just the right amount of chunky avocado. Even the chips were perfect! For our main course, I ordered the cauliflower tacos with rice and refried black beans to split with my daughter-in-law, while my son ordered the chicken tinga enchiladas. My daughter-in-law also had the soup of the day which was a poblano pepper cream-based soup. She said it was very good. The cauliflower tacos were the star of the meal for all of us. Whatever combination of flavors they use is absolute perfection. If I hadn't filled up on the guacamole and chips, I would have ordered another one. I'll seriously be dreaming about those tacos! Even though we were completely stuffed, we couldn't resist trying the queso flan for dessert, and I'm so glad we did. It tasted just like the flan my Tia makes in Puerto Rico. Absolutely out of this world! From beginning to end, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. If you're in Nashville and looking for a great authentic restaurant, this place is an absolute must-try. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! If you want, I can also make it a little shorter and punchier for Yelp, while keeping all the best details.

And I always hoped something worthy would take over the empty spot left behind by a Nashville legend. Well, I think Mas Amigos is definitely worthy. While La Hacienda still makes their delicious tortillas in town, the new kid on the block is getting very high ratings! And you can tell Mas Amigos is going to be good from the complimentary salsa and chips. The sauces are all fantastic. The enchiladas are delicious. I don't even like beans and I literally love their bean enchilada! The cheese enchiladas is probably their best, with the chicken coming in second. They deserve the high ratings, and you'll thoroughly enjoy what they have to offer. Amongst the hundreds of Mexican eateries on Nolensville Road, Mas Amigos is definitely a standout.

Choose between Appetizers, Tacos and Entrees and the kitchen will serve up dishes that are brought to you at intervals. Standout items we tried are, ranked from best-to-least, were: 1) Steak & Eggs 2) Papas Chorizo Skillet 3) Chicken & Waffle 4) Breakfast Taco 5) Al Pastor Taco 6) Biscuit & Gravy The biscuit I loved, she didn't. It's very thick and dense, so will depend on your preference. Some of the tastiest overall Mexican-style breakfast's we've har! DRINKS: The all-you-can-drink option adds $$ (I think $20-25/person), so it isn't cheap... but is worthwhile if your group loves Mimosa's, Vodka's, Bloody Mary's and fresh Fruit Juices. To their credit, Federales' service staff POURS THE DRINKS CONSTANTLY lol. They brought out bottle after bottle, esp for the Mimosa's. We enjoyed it and felt this was part of the experience there - chill out, sink into the vibe, enjoy live music and loosen up while sitting in a modern open-air concept with everyone around smiling and feeling good ... In conclusion, this rivals Adele's for my favorite Nashville brunch spot. The two have very different vibes, and I highly recommend checking out Federales!

The strawberry colada mocktail was our favorite mocktail we tried. Sadly we went during a sober week so didn't try their margs....

It was a quick walk through an apartment hallway and leads you out right to the front door. Once walking in the door everyone was so nice and inviting. This was a late lunch hour so it wasn't busy and basically got sat immediately. But I would think lunch hour and weekends can get pretty busy. I knew what I was craving so we ordered pretty much as soon as we sat down. Omg the food was soo good and the perfect size for what I wanted. The taquitos were soooo good!

He truly made our experience great. To start we had the guac and salsa trio. The salsas and guac were very fresh and the tortilla chips were shaped like tostadas. We tried the carne asada, verde tinga, pork belly, baja fish, chorizo, and shrimp tacos. All were very good but the pork belly was phenomenal. To drink we had the green margarita, seasonal watermelon margarita, and both regular and spicy pineapple margaritas. The green and watermelon were unique, refreshing, and tasty. I look forward to returning to Nashville to visit Bartaco again, as it is now one of my favorite restaurants.

Table service is great, but for me a seat at either bars is the way to go. Behind the bar are some truly fantastic bartenders and the knowledge of agave spirits is unsurpassed in Tennessee if not the south. They have a special bottling from 5 sentidos that is amazing and the cocktails are all well balanced and delicious. The other "bar", the kitchen counter is the highlight though. It takes either bravery and skill or a complete lack of self awareness to allow guests to sit at the kitchen pass, but here the service is clean, the chaos is somehow managed and the food seems to taste just a little better when you watch them cook it and hand it right to you off the plancha. If you in the area it is worth the walk down the alley to grab a seat and some great food and cocktails!

The tacos were delicious more like gourmet tacos than street-style tacos but they were fresh and flavorful nonetheless. But the Bakersfield margaritas were the star of the evening.

A Unique Sweet Treat: The Plantains We also decided to try an order of their plantains, and it was a completely new experience for us.
