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!

Asada Tacos: Honestly, pretty bland. The meat was cooked well but it lacked any real flavor. Salmon: Nothing special. Didn't feel like high-grade fish. Pork Belly Tacos (The GOAT): Absolute life-changing Pork Belly. As someone who's eaten a lot of pork belly, this was easily the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for this. 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!

This was my second visit, as we frequent Nashville and surrounding areas. We made reservations near the stage, but that didn't matter because the manager/hostess will put you wherever there is an open spot. There were more than ten people at a round top that would normally seat 6-7. This makes it difficult for the wait staff to maneuver, forcing trays to pop above head level. I kept having to move out of the way, as I was on the end of what I'd refer to as a trough table...you know that long table beside the bar where they put people who don't have reservations...oh wait, we did have them. Didn't matter! But if you make it to a table and decide to partake in the all you can eat, two hour time limit, SET THAT TIMER! I CANNOT BELIEVE it has a 4.9 on Google!!! The food is really heat/serve tasting at best; although it really looks beautiful. I swear the Mahi Taco looked incredible and was almost totally tasteless, not to mention it was on the colder side after being tough from being overcooked. Does make me wonder how long it was sitting after being cooked. It was definitely not cooked to order, as it was literally just a few minutes after ordering that it arrived to the table. We went during Saturday brunch, as there is live music during this slot. The $35 per person/plus 20% gratuity that is added/plus sales tax brought the total for two to right at $90. There was no alcohol consumed, although they do have $25 bottomless mimosa/vodka bar. That is likely the draw of this establishment because it's definitely not the food. The only positive I can mention is the wait staff. They are like worker bees, constantly moving to earn that 20% gratuity...maybe add to that the fact it can accommodate parties (see website) but DEFINITELY the waitstaff works hard. The parking lots on either side are paid spots but I couldn't risk the car getting blocked it, banged up from lack of markings or the gravel incline. There is heavy construction in the area, so expect to pay $20 or more to insure your car isn't in jeopardy. A parking app actually gave the parking lot a 3 due to safety concerns and inability to park in the lot. Basically people park anywhere because it isn't marked at all. And last but definitely not least, those all you can consume spots are terribly loud. I'd blame my gut grenade stomach ache on the noise because I only fully ate one small vegan taco and the tiny mahi strip out of another. Live music or not, I'll pass and find something better.

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.

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.

The place is very open, but not overly loud, except when it is very full. Nice, long bar. Love the bar staff here. This night I sat at a table, so got to experience from another perspective. The food is a mix of Mexican street food and Tex-Mex fusion. It is a mix of chips & Dips, Bocaditos (appetizers and sides), Cokctails, Tacos, and salads. There is also an extensive list of alchol choices. This night two friends grabbed the chicken taquitos and I grabbed the stuffed poblano pepper. The taquitos are the better of the two, if you ask me, as the poblano mole is a bit salty for my tastes (but otherwise good). Service was great. Mario was prompt and took care of our needs nicely. On top of refills. Great service.
