    Chile relleno
    Eric D.

    For all my fellow California transplants out there, avoid this spot. Trust me, I'm saving you the money and time. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this ain't it. Don't let other reviews try to tell you different. Bland and tasteless, every dish we ordered was lacking flavor. Everything from the salsa to the chile relleno is off. I ordered a bunch of items off the al la carte menu and was disappointed by everything. The ground beef and chicken they use as a main ingredient in so many dishes needs much more love put into it, very bland. My tamale was so dense and dry, it was almost inedible. The Chile relleno tasted as if it was frozen and reheated, and the breading that was on it was soggy and tasted off. The enchiladas were okay, but the ground beef ruined it. The burrito is very lackluster. My wife got the fajitas and they beef had no char to it, it was just completely gray and it looked like dog food. This place leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the food. The service was super friendly and very attentive, they're the only reason I'm keeping my review above one star. The lighting is waaaaaay too bright, makes for a weird vibe in a Mexican restaurant. I heard a lot of hype for this place so I was excited to try it, but it misses the mark for us. I'm sure others will love it, but it's not for us. Another swing and miss in the hunt for good Mexican food in Tennessee.

    The service was good, the burrito al carbon was really good. The meat was seasoned very well. My wife didn't care for the burrito Jalisco. I tasted it and it wasn't for me either. The burrito verde was superb. The place is lit up super bright you may want to bring your sun glasses.

    Interior nice and bright

    Finally perhaps a place that is destined to keep this location open. Beautiful and bright inside with colorful booths. Excellent customer service from the time we entered. Greeted by several people and then seated. Wasn't super busy but it is new and not well known yet. Large menu selection. Comfortable seating. Had the Coctel de Cameron and two steak street tacos. Younger son has a la carte tacos (one soft & one crunchy) and a la carte grilled chicken enchilada. Fresh hot and tasty. Anytime it is under $100 for us four to eat with food service, it is a win!

    This place never disappoints! You can't beat their $2.99 margaritas (I usually prefer frozen but I recommend on the rock here), they make them strong. I'm sure all their food is fire but I can't not get the steak street tacos! They will also give you different types of salsa if you ask. Service is always top notch too.

    Visited Tequila Mexican Restaurant, they have been open for a month. My server Xóchitl got me set up with some water and a beer while I looked over the menu. Love it when beer is served in a frozen mug! I ordered the Chorizo Queso appetizer and based on Xóchitl's recommendations selected the Carnitas with beans & rice. The queso is really good and had a nice flavor, but no spice or zing at all. The Carnitas confused me...I asked Xóchitl if the Carnitas were fried and she told me they were. I thought the outside seemed "crispy" which made the exterior a little tough, but the inside was tender. I learned that this is the Crispy Carnitas version (who knew). Sadly the flavor you expect from carnitas was not there...the slow cooking, seasoning, etc just wasn't there. Overall the meal was OK when everything is taken into consideration and the service was very good.

    Still my favorite place to get Mexican food in all of the boro!!! I tried the street tacos for the first time today and I think I might have found my new go to order. The Al Pastor was my favorite followed by the chorizo and then the chicken. They had so much flavor! The street corn dip and bean dip were really good. Queso and guacamole as well and the guacamole was so fresh. Absolutely love this place!

    Wet burrito with chicken...can't remember the exact name.

    I'm all in! We've been here twice now and the service is outstanding. There is plenty of parking, but there is only one entrance. So, if you park on the left side, you have to walk around the building to get inside. The restaurant is well lit, bright, and vibrant! My husband ordered the Shrimp Poblano and I got a wet burrito with chicken. The first time I went, I ordered the a la carte Chili Relleno...it was huge! No complaints on the food. I also ordered a house margarita. I think Carmen's still has them beat on margaritas, but I'm really picky with my alcohol! The only thing that would take this place from a 10 to an 11.........a live mariachi band on the weekends!

    We really enjoyed our lunch here. We scored a $2.99 margarita that was so yummy as well. We ordered a variety of street tacos, lunch carnitas, burrito supreme, and a dish with Carne asada and elotes, everything was tasty. We are planning to come back already to try their other dishes. Chips and salsa and fresh tortillas are added bonus. All in all only paid $50 for a family of 4. Such a great deal!

    Visited U&I Restaurant and Bar and had the pleasure of meeting the charming Heidi (one of the…read morefamily owners) who took exceptional care of me. Even though she was the only serving staff for the evening, she was always smiling and a joy to talk with. This place has a diverse menu, there is no "cooking at your table" available at some Korean places. I started with the Shumai (steamed dumplings) and ordered the La Galbi along with a Kirin Ichiban beer. These dumplings are an amazing surprise...normally expect shrimp dumplings to be overpowering with the taste of shrimp, but not these. The seafood flavors were light, allowing you to taste shrimp and the other ingredients in the dumpling while a little "dip" into the sweet soy sauce made for an awesome appetizer. The La Galbi...marinated and grilled Korean BBQ beef short ribs were so good, you could taste the sweetness of the marinade, and the meat was so tender. There were several slabs of the short rib and along with the sides was a huge meal. You also get a few different sides like Kimchi (light heat), pickled Daikon radishes (slightly sweet and crunchy), Gamja-salad (slightly sweet Korean mashed potatoes salad), and Korean fish cake (kind of bland for me).  While not a "patio" they do have a dining area that when the shutters are opened, gives it a patio feel...overall the place is nicely decorated and comfortable. The food here is done really well and the service was great; I will be back again to try some of their other dishes like the Jjajjang-Myun and Bibimba.

    I have debated whether to write this review. Based on other reviews, I suspect we visited on an…read moreevening where something really bad had happened. However, I think it is important to share our experience. I made a reservation for my family of four to celebrate my wife's birthday. I had heard great things about the restaurant, and we are always on the lookout for new places to try. We arrived on time, and were immediately seated. The person that seated us commented, "I have a very nice table for you." Water was provided for the table right away. And then, nothing. We were not given menus. It was several minutes before we even saw any server at any other table. As we looked around the room, we could see there were other patrons who were also being neglected. A couple sitting at one table nearby had menus, but no one took their order. After about 15 minutes, a young man came by the table and asked if we were waiting for our orders. We told him we had not even been given menus yet. He said, "Oh, I'm so sorry! I will get you some menus." He left, but never returned. Finally, my daughter, who is a server at another restaurant in Murfreesboro, went to the front desk and asked for menus. She was provided menus and told the restaurant had several employees "call out" for the evening. We looked over the menus and discussed ordering some appetizers, but no one ever came to take our order. The couple I mentioned earlier finally decided to leave without ordering. As they made their way to the door, an employee apologized to them and told them if they would stay, they would take their order. Meanwhile, at the table behind us, food was delivered. One of the patrons at the table remarked that the dish they ordered was supposed to have chicken, but there was no chicken in the dish. The server apologized and said -- I'm not kidding -- "I can go to the kitchen and get some chicken, and you can add it to the dish." At this point, we decided to leave. As we made our way to the door, the person that seated us noticed and asked if we were leaving. We told her we were, and left. I normally would not leave a negative review based on a single visit, but this experience was possibly the worst I have ever had anywhere. I hope this is an isolated incident that occurred when the restaurant was experiencing an extraordinarily bad night. I would like to give U&I another chance at some point. If I do and the experience is better, I will update this review.

The other blonde bartender was just sitting around talking to the owner and his buddy - made eye contact a couple times but wouldn't acknowledge my presence. Finally after the 4x asking I received my water. Owner walked up and asked her how much revenue so far today and she said 362.90. They opened at 11, it's 5p by this time. 6 hours, two bartenders and 1 chef. Now the semi-good part, ordered 3 beers and the tab came to 4.50. Pretty sweet so I ended up tipping 15.50. Had to use the restroom, got up and apparently they thought I was leaving and one of the 3 girls sitting around doing nothing said thank god he's gone. It was weird. One of the other workers was talking about giving her brother and his 16 year old friends alcohol and they cheered her on. It was just weird all around. The place could use a heavy cleaning instead of bunch of lazy 22 y/o. No beef with the owner, I just think he should weigh more heavily on the ability to do the job rather than tight clothes and shitty attitudes with no patron awareness. This place needs bar rescue.

I then got out of my car and she threatened to hurt me and I told the security guard at the front and then him and his manager (heavier set) gentlemen and they did not do anything about it since the African American lady threatened my life over a parking spot. They then looked at me and treated me like I was the crazy one and had to call the police (which are there on the regular) and all I wanted to do was come to play pool. I chose the wrong day. But I will never give this place any other business to be honest. -D #yelpElite #MBoro #MusicCity

For starters, the location is down an alley way, hidden off the main area of the Square in the Boro. To get to the speakeasy, you have to find the door, use the phone, and answer a riddle to speak the 'password' to get in. Neat concept and adds to the fun of the overall experience. The cons: - A cover charge - and a healthy one, at that. - Every cocktail, small plate/appetizer, dish, dessert, etc. is on the very high end of price points, and that's even for a Nashville spot - not even considering this as a niche location in the burbs. - For the prices, exceptionally small portions/servings of the food options. We left paying over $150 for our evening and both my wife and I were still hungry... The pros: - Service was fantastic. Extremely friendly from the owner to the bartenders to the servers. No complaints there at all. - My wife took me for my 40th birthday, and they helped significantly make it a special celebration while we were there. A special dessert with "4-0" candles, a rousing musician-led, crowd-involved rendition of "happy birthday" was sung in my honor, and overall just a very enjoyable experience. - Atmosphere was fun and inviting without being too much/stuffy. - The interior of the speakeasy is opulent, small, and cozy, featuring enough room for probably no more than 20-25 people total. - The drinks were very, very good. Overpriced, sure - but at least they were well made and tasty. - The food was absolutely fantastic. Great flavors and seemingly fresh, quality ingredients - well prepared. Overall, a very neat, fun, well thought out experience and something to say we've done - BUT unfortunately with the cover charge, pricing of the individual drinks, food items, etc., it prices us out of frequent enjoyment. We would go with a small group for kicks, but will likely not return otherwise, which is a shame.
