This restaurant is a hidden gem that defies first impressions. The moment I stepped through the door, I could sense that the dining experience would be extraordinary. Eager to indulge, I ordered my usual favorite, a vegetarian quesadilla minus mushrooms. While it was enjoyable, I must admit it fell short of being exceptional. Despite this, I am determined to revisit this establishment primarily due to its impressive selection of beverages. My first drink menu was a pina colada. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The taste seemed to be dominated by whole milk rather than coconut milk so it wasn't my favorite. My second drink was the mango margarita without a doubt, it stole the show with its delectable blend of flavors. This drink is, in my opinion, an absolute masterpiece and deserves a prominent place on their signature menu. Don't be deceived by appearances and give this spot a shot! Let me know if you enjoy it.

Perfect location for truckers. Can easily walk from the truck stop and get food to go or dine in. Extensive menu to choose from. Good customer service from host to table. Has good Horchata. Wasn't a fan of the nachos. However, the chicken was seasoned well. I prefer my nachos to be layered throughout instead of toppings in one section. If ever in the area again, would like to try one of their soups. Had the pleasure of listening to some live music.

A very pleasant experience. Nor your usual neither boring food. Everything is tasty and exotic. At least for a guy who didn't grow up on that planet the food came from. On top of that a very nice and private ambiance.

Way nicer inside than it looks. Food was pretty good but not exceptional except for the chips and salsa which were world class. Service was really slow, and our server bare spoke any English.

If you want a lot of food this is your place. If you are in a hurry and don't speak Spanish, this is not your place. Service is slow, food is pretty good. Customer service is not good. We got there well before 3pm, ordered waters before 3pm. Our waitress disappears for over 5 minutes and then at 3:01 comes to take our order and said we couldn't order off of the lunch menu regardless of her taking it passed 3pm to get 4 waters. Horrible customer service.

This place is amazing. From the bright colorful decor, to the delicious homemade salsa to all the delicious food and seafood. We live in west Nashville, but will drive back here just to eat! Highly recommend!

Ehh. Very disappointing. Unseasoned meat and rice. Couldn't finish the meal it was so bad.
Sooo. Truly authentic mexican food restaurant, one of the best yet in the nashville area. The staff was friendly, food was great and the atmosphere was fun! Definitely will be back!

I continued my quest for good Mexican food in Nashville by stopping by Acalpoco Burritto, largely because of the Yelp reviews. Coming up to the building it isn't very inviting. It's located by a freeway off ramp in a old looking building by a gas station. Inside it looks very authentic. The highlight for me were the mariachis playing in the dining room. Great! I would say the seats are too close together and the sound dampneners are none existent because it is very loud in there to where it would be hard to have a conversation. I ordered a chorizo and cheese dip with chips which was actually pretty good. My main course was mole beef enchiladas with rice and beans. The rice was one of the better versions of Mexican rice in the Nashville area. The beans were the same tasteless, canned, liquid beans that seem to be all over the city. As for the enchiladas the beef had no flavor and the mole was too sweet for my taste. I didn't enjoy the food but gave this spot three stars because the live mariachi band was pretty cool.

What a treat! Not what I expected, but absolutely delicious.Very authentic and very busy little spot.Do not let the outside deter you! Service is a bit slow, but friendly staff.I got the roller tacos- 2 chicken and two beef.The chicken was the star! All the sauces were great.

I will say that the food over all was ok i ordered salvadorean breakfast along with a pupusa it was ok not that bad not that good either the only problem i had was an insect in my orchata that really sucks also the interior seems a little dirty need to put more attention on cleaning it.
