It's been a while ever since I decided to write a review, normally I try to praise and look at the bright side of things, and hope for the best in all aspects in life.
However, when something that's not at to a certain standard, I would have a constructive criticism and feedback in hope for improvement, or give it as a heads up to new patrons bringing their business to the venue.
In this case, a restaurant, sitting at a prime location, next to both the hockey arena or rink, and a massive convention center, in the middle of a vibrant town, Music City Center, Nashville, TN.
I'm not a very demanding foodie, nor a food critique from Michelin, however, I can probably say, that having lived in many countries, exposed to many cuisine, culture, people, I know a thing or two about certain type of food, in this case Mexican food, or Americanized-Mexican food.
From street food, aka food trucks, to sit-down restaurants, here in the States, at the borders, and also right at the heart of Mexico, I know what an authentic Mexican food should look like, taste like, and also what not.
If you say Taco Bell is a good for Tacos, Burritos or Quesadillas, I'll laugh so far in your face, cuz, that's not a real Mexican food, kind of saying Panda Express is a good Chinese restaurant.
Anyway, going back to today's review, I was horrified by their tacos, nachos, salad, etc. You can all see for yourself from the pictures, I'm sharing below, the tacos, no matter "carne asada aka ground beef" didn't have any taste, bland and plain, same with "carnitas -- basically it look like pull pork", I assume being in Nashville, Southern State, maybe they've substitute with it, the chicken was also plain, and chewy but not in a good way, more like chewing gum aka rubber taste, one of the tacos had so much liquid that kept dripping the entire paper plate.
In order to get some chips, you have to order with 3-sauces, any combination of red salsa, orange sauce and guacamole, or other combination was over $15, that's like a steal.
Moreover, the worst part of all, the grease on the chips, and nachos tasted deep fried and re-fried you case basically see the oil, grease all over the chips, we couldn't even eat them, taste so gross, unless you are willing to go under the knife for a bypass, be my guest.
And the churros, it was so hard, that it felt like a wooden stick, which we tried to bend it, to a point it broke in half, can you believe that? Even Costco serve much tastier churros by a mile.
We ended up not finishing the food, just felt disgusted from the food and experience and left to not ever come back.
Like I say at the beginning, hope the owners take a deep look at what they are serving to the patrons visiting their restaurant, and hope they have some pride and improve their food, cuz, otherwise, any other restaurant in the area serve much better food than they do.
Cuz, trust me if Gordon was visiting, he'll be shouting at the top of his lungs!
Given what has been said, even Taco Bell taste 10X better than what we had here.
