"Everyone has that special taco spot. The one you swear by to get you through a long day of work, a hangover, or a breakup with your pilates studio (it’s not you … it’s definitely them). Maiz de la Vida, a permanently parked food truck in front of Chopper Tiki, is that taqueria for us. This is where you’ll find the pinnacle of taco construction: a soft corn shell that can hold any and all toppings without falling apart. And those tortillas are the foundation for the best quesabirria tacos in Nashville, a.k.a the reason why you hauled your friends here after biking around Shelby Bottoms. Maiz de la Vida will soon have an actual dining room of their very own in the Gulch with more space for taco feasting. And we can’t wait." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, ann walczak
