  Incredible, delicious, authentic tacos as they should be. Meat, cilantro, and onion with 3 amazing sauce choices on doubled-up corn tortillas. The price cannot be beat, the service is always friendly and prompt, and I cannot stress enough how flavorful the food is.
  
  The guacamole and chips are literally made to order; hand smashed guacamole and fresh from the fryer chips that are so hot you have to wait to dig in (the worst part!!).
  
  My fiancé will order a quesadilla once in awhile as well and it is huge and delicious, again, a phenomenal price.
  
  You are not getting frills or a 5 star dining experience here. But if you are in the market for truly delicious, authentic tacos, this is the place.

  I am getting my mind blown at some of these hole in the wall gems Nashville has to offer.
  
  I have had the tacos here usually after a grocery stop at Aldi. But I told myself, I have to write a review and give this place 6 stars (Yes I would if I could) after a trip to a very famous taco place in New York.
  
  Double tortilla, the meats are tender, juicy, and the flavors are so good. You know they do the meat right if only a lemon squeeze, onion and cilantro are the condiments to elevate flavor.
  
  House sauces are delicious! There are two kinds, red and green and the latter is just gorgeously spicy; not unbearably hot but tasty.
  
  We had lengue and barbacoa...Amazing, soft, clean flavors and you will get flavor from the meat alone here. I don't know how to describe how beautiful the flavor is, it's so good here and honestly makes other places so overrated.
  
  I have been to two other upscale taco places in Nashville, that really is like paying for ambience more than flavor, and will not go back to by choice.
  
  Taqueria Azteca is clean, service is quick and for the flavors, I am going to be back here more often than anywhere else. I have only tried the tacos here as a quick snack, but will have to be back to try the rest of the menu. Least, I am coming back for the house sauces.
  
  And, to be honest, probably the best tacos I have had till date.

  Fantastic food, and very authentic. Will be back here very soon.
  
  And be sure to check out the music system next to the cooler and the restroom. Never seen anything like it in the U.S., and completes the authentic taqueria vibe.

  Really hits the spot for street tacos. Taqueria Azteca is discreetly located across from the Aldi, next to a pool supply store and has a taco truck out front. Now, I realize that was a lot of detail but it will all make sense once you pull into the gravel lot. There is a brick and mortar restaurant with seating for you to enjoy your meal, but it seems that the cooking is done in the truck outside the shop. Essentially the truck serves as an outdoor kitchen, so you're literally getting the best of both worlds--taco truck food with the comfort of sitting in a restaurant with table service.
  
  Each taco was a little over $1 each as usual and very good quality. Tacos come with grilled onions, grilled pepper and radishes on the side. Here in Nashville a lot of places don't serve the extra grilled veggies and radishes so it's always a nice touch when the tacos come with it. I had a lengua taco in California that was the best I've ever had, and I've been on a mission to find one comparable in Tennessee. I ordered one lengua here, and it was fantastic! Meat was so tender and flavorful, not chewy at all. Asada was good, but my favorite is always barbacoa. Something about the slow cooked beef elevates the taco for me. I also ordered a horchata that was strong on the cinnamon, just the way I like it. I will definitely be back again!

  *** HEALTH WARNING *** After reading all the great reviews I had to give this place a try this past Wednesday 10/9/19... I even decided to bring my brother who was in town. My reward? 48 hours of the worst food poisoning - violent, uncontrolled vomiting and diarrhea I have ever experienced or even heard of. My wife called my brother the next day to tell him I was deathly sick and HE had the exact same thing only starting two hours after me! It gets worse... my brother brought home half of his Chicken Quesadilla which his son ate Friday - when I called to check on my brother today he told me that his son was in the bathroom floor having started vomiting uncontrollably overnight.
  
  We are literally taking stool samples to Vanderbilt tomorrow to have checked for Listeria, Salmonella etc. This place needs to be shut down immediately. Hoping that this warning saves some others the pain my family has been through. It was a living hell.
