    Margaritas
    Agnew D.

    I have not been here in a while and the new look is amazing. Even loved the sink in the restroom. Food is always good and the margaritas are simply the best.

    A table full of yummy! Carne Asada, Carnitas Street Tacos , Tacos Birria
    Teresa F.

    What a fun find for delicious Mexican cuisine in a fun atmosphere with friendly service at fair prices. Favorites include the tacos birria and queso con chorizo.

    Margarita Lime Chicken
    Abigal S.

    Our favorite local Mexican spot! Such a great deal for the amount/quality of food you get. Restaurant has fun environment and even serves pitchers with a sparkler. Service can be a hit or miss but they are typically busy. The margarita lime chicken is a family favorite and we have ordered it several times. We will be back!

    What a blast! Went here on a last minute decision and didn't regret it. Lovely outside and fun interior. Food was delish and service was friendly. Highly recommend the Chorizo con Queso and Catcus side!

    Incredible experience. Beautiful restaurant and attentive staff. Food is very good value for price!

    Birthday celebration
    Jonathan S.

    We went there for our son's birthday celebration. The service is top notch. Laura our server was so sweet and helpful. She organized a secret celebration for our son at the table and he was thrilled. We had a good laugh. The food was very good, hot and plentiful. We have been there before and there is always a pronounced Hispanic clientele there , a good sign for a Mexican restaurant and the atmosphere is friendly and lively. Our son, his wife and baby go there often and always rave about it.

    Veggie Burrito
    Konnori B.

    Visiting Nashville this weekend for a wedding, and last night was our first official meal out. We found a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called Tequila's. Entering in, it was not very busy, and it looks like a standard Mexican restaurant. There were 7 of us, but they initially only brought us 2 things of chips with two salsas. We needed at least 2 more because 7 of us aren't splitting 2 salsas. The chips and salsas were decent, nothing spectacular. I ordered a veggie burrito without mushrooms and sour cream and got queso on top instead of salsa. The vegetables were very well seasoned, and the queso on top was nice! The rice and black beans inside was pleasant. The service was not the best--it felt like some things were meant for us to do ourselves. This was a full-service restaurant, so I expect them to at least give us a soda/drink inside the cup to go or hand our checks to all of us instead of making us do it ourselves. On a better note, this place is pretty cheap. You can find decent Mexican food for a good price. Overall, I would say check this out if you're curious. I bet there are much better Mexican restaurants in Nashville.

My fiancee and dad got the birria tacos they did a pretty good job. I got the skirt steak i believe and it was ok. Tender but not too flavorful. Tasted more just like beef. I believe its marinated but i didnt really get hints of any spices. Again, I'm not saying it was terrible by any means. Just left something to be desired. We also ordered the wueso flameado and that was pretty good. Overall a good place to eat. Would recommend checking it out.

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back next time we're in Nashville!

The Portion: Tacos come with rice and beans so the portions are very generous. You won't leave hungry. 4/5 stars. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that incredible Pork Belly. It carried the whole meal. Highly recommend for that dish alone!

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 ...

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The guacamole and chips were the standout of the meal. The guacamole was incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and served alongside warm, freshly made tortilla chips that were hard to stop eating. We also ordered the esquites, since I'm a huge fan of authentic elote preparado. The flavors were delicious and well-balanced. My only suggestion would be to serve the esquites warm, I promise it truly takes the dish to another level. As for the tacos, the presentation was beautiful. The Al Pastor tacos looked fantastic, but they leaned a little too sweet for my taste and were missing some of the bold, smoky flavors I associate with traditional Al Pastor, like guajillo chiles, oregano, and other aromatic spices. On the other hand, the chicken tacos were excellent. They were juicy, well-seasoned, and flavorful enough to shine without needing much from the toppings. To top it all off, our server was friendly, attentive, and helped make the entire experience enjoyable. Overall, Bakersfield exceeded my expectations. While it may not replace the authentic taco shops of the Southwest, it's definitely a solid choice in Nashville, especially if you're craving flavorful Mexican-inspired food before a night out.
