    a plate of tacos
    Tiffy D.

    Ordered several tacos. The meat was really flavorful and tender. But the tortillas were pretty hard and did not seem fresh. It was good and the price was right though. The quesabirria was on point!

    Barbacoa, lengua, carnitas and pollo tacos $5.92
    Casey P.

    After a busy morning of checking out cars at the Nashville Cars and Coffee event, my girlfriend and I stopped at this food truck for some cheap street tacos. She ordered the carnitas and pollo tacos. I order the barbacoa and lengua tacos. I really enjoyed mine and she said hers were very good too. The tacos were flavorful and not dry. Like Sheena and other yelpers have said... these are no longer a dollar each. Most were $1.25 and the lengua was $1.75. Overall, 4 tacos for under $6, I'm good with that.

    Tacos & a mulita
    Will H.

    We stopped by here on a gloomy Sunday afternoon around noon. We'd had Bartaco the day before, which if you've ate there, you'll know it's $2.50-3.50 for a two bite taco that ain't that great. We were wanting some cheap, street tacos. This is a permanent food truck that's located at an old gas station. This place isn't fancy, or even feel very safe, lots of people walking around with shifty eyes. You can't have it all I guess. We looked at the simple menu on the side of the truck. We ordered about 7 tacos (a dollar each), a chicken quesadilla ($5) & a beef mulita ($2). We got a load of food for about 15 bucks. It took only about 10 minutes to get our food. They gave us a few of the red sauce & the green sauce. They weren't too bad, nothing to get excited about. We drove home and ate there. There isn't but maybe 3 spots to park, & one of those is in front of a kerosine pump, so don't be THAT guy & eat in your car like a guy did when we were there. Take it over to the Kroger lot if you must. They kept pretty well on our 10ish minute drive home. The food: I loved the chicken quesadilla. I could eat one of these every day & not get sick of it. It's loaded with chicken (you can choice your own meat to put inside) & cheese. It's not bad for five bucks. The mulita was good. It's basically a grilled taco with meat, so like a quesadilla but not just cheese? Yea? I'd probably just get 2 chicken tacos instead. The tacos. We tried chicken, beef, pork, and pork pastor (spicy pork). All of the meat seemed a little dry to me. I don't know if they don't keep it in liquid like some do, but the beef was almost like it was dehydrated. One of the porks were very crispy. I'd probably go with the chicken taco next time, or even just get the quesadilla.

    Great spot for tacos & mulitos

    So we took a day trip to Nashville with some friends and they kept raving about this food truck spot. They said "it doesn't look like much from the outside but trust us the food is amazing". To my surprise this food truck offered a good variety of the traditional Mexican favorites. I had the tacos De barbacoa and they were the bomb! My hubby had the mulitas... I will post a pic so you can see the goodness for yoirself. Four stars because you have to eat it in the car because they dont have tables or chairs outaide. A must try it you in nashville!

    Two pastor, one chicken, two TINY containers of red and green sauce :(
    Sheena T.

    My place of work is close to Nolensville Pike which is the mecca of awesome authentic taco trucks. Last week I decided to branch out from my normal place and try some other options in the area, and I have some high standards. I must admit I was tempted by the "el dolar" in this food truck's name and decided to venture here first. Parking is a bit tight, but luckily it wasn't busy when I came so I got a spot and there was no line either. My first gripe with this truck: tacos are not a dollar. I repeat...not a dollar. The name of the truck is misleading, the tacos are $1.25. Update the name of your truck if you aren't going to have dollar tacos! Just saying. I ordered two pastor tacos and one chicken plus avocado based on reading other Yelp reviews. I also asked for extra red and green sauce, because that is half the joy of taco trucks for me. So I was disappointed when I opened up my bag and saw only two TINY containers of red and green sauce. So much for the extra... Also, the green sauce wasn't the normal creamy jalapeno sauce that I'm used to and left me disappointed again. The flavor of the meat was good and I added an avocado for very cheap (all 3 tacos plus the extra came out to $4.50) but I need my extra sauce, and theirs wasn't my favorite. I didn't love the pickled veggies either, but appreciated the extra onions. Overall, there are too many options close by to keep this truck on my radar. The search continues...

    Chicken torta
    Joe C.

    This taco truck has the best chicken tacos I've ever tasted. With the hot sauce and lime, you literally cannot stop eating tacos. I think we've hit the spot every week all summer b/c we literally cannot stop eating tacos. I recently went rogue and got the chicken burrito. Guess what? It was delicious too. Now I literally cannot stop eating chicken burritos. My wife is a fan of the mulitas as well. But seriously, go here for the tacos. You will never be sad with 5 or 6 tacos in hand!

    8 beef tacos in a regular to-go box.  Really delicious.

You can have some great food, cider and even hang and play some board or card games. Everyone is super nice and welcoming both at Cyanide and Birria Babe. The food was great. We tried the Birria Trio (chicken, beef, lamb) tacos. All were great but the lamb was my favorite. It's a little more fatty ans softer. The beef and chicken were great as well. We also tried the Birria Ramen which i thought was great. They provide a good amount of beef and the broth is rich and flavorful. The pizza was bit too cheesy for me but I love trying new things so Im glad I did. We were told that they experiment and rotate different fun birra specials often. The salsas are all great. I like the spicy which has strong garlic and very unique flavor to it. The avocado salsa also stood out, almost a guac like flavor. All sauces were very unique and amazing. The cashier was super nice and we spent some time talking to the owner, drinking cider and hanging and pigging out. An afternoon well accomplished...

We had a couple of questions about the menu such as, do they not have the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup or the Mac & Cheese Bowl anymore ( They have removed these items from the menu ) and the employee was kinda rude about it and I really didn't like that. Anyway--- The Sandwiches are really good and the sides were good. They also do catering and you can find them on Facebook and Instagram. There is a covered outdoor patio along with shared seating inside. It's a good place to grab a Grilled Cheese and a tasty Milkshake.
