Fajita burrito

The food is amazing! Service was on point. We will totally be back. Fajitas burrito, with steak and chicken, one with just chicken, and pollo locco. Kids chicken nuggets with fries. Cheese dip was great. Love the bowl so it stays in one place not in a big bowl spread out.

Chile relleno

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!

My family!!

I got a chimichanga and the food was so good. It made my stomach though. Was in the bathroom for hours.

Situated on Thompson Lane in what used to be a Burger King, this location of El Cubilete did not…read morecome to play with y'all! I popped in one day after running errands around Murfreesboro and when I first saw that it was an old BK converted into Mexican restaurant, I thought to myself this is either going to be distrusting or delicious, and lucky for me it was the latter! El Cubilete serves up authentic Mexican food, and while you can still get the classics you are used to, they focus a lot on the true Mexican classics. Being the gringo I am, I went with my tried and true chicken, rice and cheese sided with some chori-queso. While the order was basic, the food itself was not. The queso, chips, chicken, tortillas and everything was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. To with the food, they brought out their house red and green sauce. SPICY is an understatement, but I could handle in small dabs, and through that realized while the green was milder, the red had better flavor. But honestly it was lose-lose for me with those sauces. In addition to the food, they have a small drink menu with beers, frozen drinks and a solid selection of agua frescas. Service was stellar. The owner was super kind, welcoming me in, checking on me during my meal and ultimately ringing me out. All the servers were friendly and helpful. Overall, odd layout and set up, along with service being communal (everyone serves everyone together), which is a bit odd...but even with all that, the food and service speak up and stand alone. Great spot with good folks and tasty food! I would certainly swing back through when in Murfreesboro.

They closed??! Why?! Where am I to get my Green Pozole now?! It was one of the best things I've…read moreever put in my mouth.

Finally... A burrito that comes close to what we used to get back in California! We've been…read moresearching for so long and I had honestly given up multiple times, but like all great explorers, we endured and persevered. Taqueria Lupita is a great spot nestled inside a gas station market. As soon as we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. The smell of meat on the griddle and the aroma of toasted tortillas met our noses and it made my mouth instantly start salivating. The team behind the counter was working fast and got our order out super quick. I opted for a chicken burrito and it took all of my self control to keep from eating it on the drive home. But like all great explorers of old, we had to take our bounty back to the motherland for all to enjoy. I cut it open and see what the cross section looked like, and it was practically perfect. I forgot to ask for avocado, so that's on me. We got the red and green salsas with it and they were both great. I loved the roasty undertones and heat of the red salsa. The first bite of this burrito took me back to another place, far from Tennessee. It was a glorious first bite. The melty cheese, the rice, beans and the chicken combined to make the most delicious symphony of flavors. I can't say enough good things about this burrito, you have to try it for yourself. I'm eager to try more things on their menu, especially the torta, it looked amazing.

As soon as we saw the (previously Oakland) Raiders logo, we knew it was gonna be good! I got the steak (asada) burrito - it came with rice, beans, meat, sour cream, and lettuce. If I had to give a critique, I'd say it's just missing a little guac. But oh my word, this burrito transported me right back to California! The flavors were spot on, the ratios were perfect. It may have taken us five years, but we finally found a Mexican spot that will definitely be in our rotation. It's located inside a small gas station, which confused us at first. But once we walked in, it was clear where to order. Both guys working seemed extremely kind and helpful, and overall just happy to be serving people incredible food.

It appeared that they had a group of people in the center of the restaurant whom everyone was trying to take care of. The taste of the food in all honesty was 1 step above Taco Bell, and I love some Taco Bell, so that isn't a dis at all. My boyfriend and I both had burritos, mine had carnitas and his had the option of ground beef and chicken. He said the chicken was so bland, that the only way he knew it was there is that it fell out of the burrito. Would I go back, yes, because it reminded me of when I lived in Chattanooga.

I arrived and my server Raquel got me set up with a beer and brought me some chips and salsa. The Pozole Verde is HUGE, enough for three people because I was only able to make a small dent in it. The chips were crispy and the salsa surprised me, great flavor! The Pozole is a rich stew loaded a solid green tomatillo/chile broth, shredded chicken, hominy, while you add the sides of radish, lime juice, lettuce, cilantro, and onions. The spice level (I am a wimp) on this stew is close to the top of my range causing some sweating and sniffles. The downside...the furnishing could use some rehab. Upside...good food and service, I'll visit again to try their Birria Ramen.
