Fun atmosphere. Came here with my son and a bunch of his college friends. It was a great spot for a large group casual dinner. I really enjoyed the thin chips and salsa. The guac could use more flavor but seemed fresh. Skinny margarita was slightly tart but really good! I got two tacos. The classic ground beef hardshell and the steakhouse with soft tortilla. By far and away the basic ground beef taco was the better of the two. It had great seasoning, burst g with satisfying flavor. The gourmet steak taco was a bit flavorless IMO. I'd go back for the margarita, chips and salsa and the ground beef tacos for sure. Lots of other menu items. The line was out the door but moved along at a reasonable pace. Once we ordered and sat down the food came out super fast.

The food came out so fast and its so delicious. I ordered a salad bowl and all the toppings are free which i loveee, so many option of free toppings too.Couldnt taste the rice too much bc i think i had lots of toppings. But crispy crunchy salad and the shrimps was good. Cilantro lime vinaigrette was sweet which was not expected nd not a fan.Nachos was huge, chicken was ok. Chorizo taco was tasty, but the street corn wasnt good, and soggy nd had no flavor.Barbacoa taco was delicious and juicy.The guacamole was very creamy nd tasty.

Taco Mama is a lively and eclectic spot for a fun meal! As soon as we walked in we were met with a long but fast moving line for counter service on a Friday night. We were immediately greeted and had the menu explained to us, which was a nice friendly touch you don't usually get at a quick service restaurant, especially one this busy! We got to the front of the line within 10 minutes, and then got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. I paid $15 for a basket of 2 steak tacos, chips, salsa, and a side of my choosing (I went with the queso). It's not the best value ever, but you can get unlimited toppings and sauces with your meal. If you load up on guac and queso and other things that would be extra at other spots, it all evens out. The chips were thin, crispy and delicious. The tacos and salsa weren't the best I've ever had, but the kind and fast service in this fun atmosphere made everything taste perfect! The Prosecco margarita was so refreshing, and strong. They also have outdoor seating and vegetarian options. Check them out!

Very tasty burrito bowl with shrimp and a wide assortment of "free" toppings. Easy to build a flavorful gluten sensitive lunch.

I wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars because taco mama would get it. The quesadilla is my personal favorite because you can put unlimited toppings. The free chips are a plus too. The pomegranate margarita is to die for. I think about it and salivate all the way over in California. The vibes here are immaculate too. Love the atmosphere and the service is fast and friendly. Overall, sizable portions, affordable and extremely delicious - what more could you ask for?

After seeing instagram videos of this place I really wanted to love it. Who doesn't love a place with a giant margarita menu, right? For all I wanted it to be, it really fell flat. The happy hour 1/2 off margs seemed to have half off the alcohol also sadly. Tasted like a pitcher of lime juice. Chicken in the burrito was decent, white meat chicken (which I love) but pretty flavorless. Barbacoa was also lacking. Chips are thin and crispy, salsa is pretty good. Overall, glad I tried it but no reason to come back ever. Left feeling unsatisfied. Fairly bland cafeteria Mexican food.

I’ve been in Nashville for a few days now and this place had the best food out of all the places I’ve tried so far. The margaritas were awesome and true margaritas. Great food.

We’re spending a time here in Nashville because my wife is in Vanderbilt hospital in the middle of leukemia treatments. So trying to find something that her taste buds like is tough. I picked up some tacos here and she fell in love with them. Thanks to the entire staff to make eating enjoyable for my wife. I will

Walked down from our VRBO actually not expecting to much. Food came out exceptionally fast and was hot and well seasoned. At our table I heard, my tacos are great, I love my nachos and guacamole, this burrito has so much going on...i love it!! We sat outside and enjoyed the warm evening and even watched a big rig stop throw on the hazard lights in the center lane and go in and order. 10 minutes later he ran out with a to-go box jumped in the truck let out a big honk-honk on the air horn..we all laughed and he rolled out.

Atrocious really. One of those places I wanted to walk out of as soon as I looked at the menu. Unoriginal and too much going on at the same time. The fried fish taco was 2 tiny strips of overlyfried crust. I was shocked when it came out I have never seem anything like it I thought it was some kind of jerkey strip or a dog biscuit. Side of chips and 2 tacos costs 16 bucks. No thanks even at half the price. This is just a college campus hangout that leaves me wanting less. I will say that the guy who works there that hands menus to people because the chalkboard menu is not legible is very sweet and helpful.

First time visiting. We ordered the Judge burrito basket(this came with chips, salsa and a side), build your own burrito with tofu, kid's nachos with chicken, elote, ancho chile slaw a regular margarita and their new seasonal blood orange margarita. So everything was ok. Nothing special or really fancy to brag about. Everything kinda lacked seasoning and flavor even the margaritas had no flavor or hardly liquor. So the place was pretty busy you order at the register and they bring the food to you. The atmosphere is your normal restaurant . Not sure if I would go back, there was nothing that made me wanna try other items. There's too many taco places to try . I might . The customer service was great and everyone was very nice though.
