Mexico Tipico

Came here on Good Friday, April 18 around 8pm. Drive into parking lot next to a motel. It was packed. Lots of work trucks there so you know this is a great place for the everyday people. A hidden gem. Fast service! Order at the counter and seat yourself. Comfy booths in rows. It feels very authentic. How would I know, I'm just a white girl. The Birria tacos were amazing! Never had one before. They are crispy and juicy at the same time. They are also messy and definitely greasy but in a good pizza kind of way. Lots of flavor!

Was packed, still got food in timely fashion. Very tasty and spicy. Govern yourselves accordingly. A whole new world for me. Flour tortillas just how I like em. 👍

Here to say I finally tried the Birria Queso Tacos 🌮 I chose to do so at #MexicoTipico and I was NOT disappointed. 10/10 on the tacos, the flavor of the beef (I think it was beef) was so good! It was juicy and tender‼️ The best food is always so MESSY! And I’m here for it .. it’s a hole in the wall, it has a drive through and they sell breakfast .. I’ll be BACK! If you haven’t tried it #murfreesboro GET THERE ‼️ 🤤 The quantity and quality was alright by me 🥰 food is my happy place

My favorite place to get tacos in Murfreesboro! Highly recommend the tacos al carbon and birria tacos. They are 👌🏽👩🏽‍🍳💋🤤

This Mexican restaurant offers an incredibly authentic culinary experience. The birria tacos were an absolute delight, surpassing all expectations. The ambiance of the seating areas added to the overall enjoyment, creating a fantastic dining atmosphere. Furthermore, the service provided was exceptionally pleasant and attentive.

Love this place! So authentic in every way! very friendly employees there and they never forget their regulars! Their menu is huge with a variety of choices to pick from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our most favorite dish here is the Birria Tacos! This morning we ate breakfast here and it was so good. This is a place to go if you’re wanting something different and yry something with more authenticity

I was excited to try this place and the birria tacos did NOT disappoint. They were awesome! My BIGGEST issue is the restaurant vents were filled to the point of being clogged (see photo), the floors were dirty, the ceiling fans were dirty, etc. The table tops were clean but underneath were crumbs, dirty napkins, straw wrappers, etc. (The chair seats were dirty too) There was no ice in the fountain drink machine, the sprite was out and some of the other flavors too. My son couldn’t eat the wet burrito because there was so much gristle he kept having to spit it out, but I took it to home and my family enjoyed it. Again, the birria tacos were AMAZING and we also enjoyed the queso (the salsa was way to spicy to eat) but if the area the public can see is that filthy… what does the kitchen look like?

2024 REVIEW - Love the updated dining/sitting area BUT PLEASE give those bathrooms some TLC! The ladies room desperately needs it, one stall STILL doesn't even have a toilet seat. I'm surprised it's so unkept considering the remodel/update. It's been 11 months since my last visit, and although there are a few new faces in the staff the food is still spot on. The chiles rellenos were large and filling. Sopes were fantastic as usual. The sopa de res, large and delicious The roasted chicken leg meal was fantastic too! Would still recommend a visit! 2023 REVIEW - WOW, WOW, WOW!! What an amazing authentic Mexican establishment! We were in the area looking to dine at another restaurant however they were closed, so we popped into Mexico Tipico. What a great choice it turned out to be! 1st of all, they offer the best tasting Champurrado (think hot chocolate but much better) in Middle Tennessee i have yet to find! It's everything it needs to be and hits all the spots in your belly and soul to give you that cozy, warm feeling. It was a cold fall night so we were on the hunt for some soup - my husband tried the birria soup, it was one of the best he's ever had, it was beaming with authentic flavors, it is served with tortillas and the portion was huge, the price was great too! I went with the sopa de res (beed soup) the flavors are omg so yummy, all the vegetables were tender and the broth was very well seasoned, it's served with a small portion of rice and cilantro, fresh diced onions and jalapeños and tortillas, very large portion and priced fair as well. The kids ordered chicken tacos - they enjoyed the flavor of sauce the chicken is cooked in, and it was served with spicy pickled carrots. We've been back 3x since our initial visit with friends - we've tried the al pastor tacos, the asada, the lengua, barbacoa & carnitas all have been consistently flavorful and portions are good for the price. Some other items we tried and have enjoyed were the mulitas, sopes, asada fries & quesadillas. The house hot sauces are fantastic too! Although the guacamole was flavorful and chunky, i felt the portion was not fair for the price charged. Truly my only food complaint. Another complaint is the bathrooms, they are in desperate need of TLC, one of the women's stalls doesn't even have a seat, and the smell emanating from the pipes is very strong and awful. Would absolutely recommend dining in over take out, sit down, and enjoy your hot meal. Went back a few days later and tried out some breakfast options, of course they knocked it out of the park on that too. My favorite hearty breakfast is the chilaquiles!

Tacos, tacos, tacos--the BEST tacos outside of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I could live inside the dipping sauce. The delicious Birria de Res Tacos with Savory Consomé. Authentic food, not Americanized whatsoever. These are NOT the overpriced and overcooked tacos you find at "that place" on Medical Center Parkway. Don't be mad if there aren't chips and salsa on the table ( you can order it), or overly Americanized food. This place is authentic. It is a tasty trip to Mexico right here in the Boro. I have had five things on the menu and have never been disappointed. I have not tried a desert....yet. The salsa you can order with the chips and salsa side dish is incredible. Keep in mind, this is authentic, so the heat from the spicy does take a little getting accustomed to, but beer takes care of that as well.

This place is in the cut in the boro but you can see it from the road! Don't just drive by because you're guaranteed to miss out of some good authentic Mexican food and drinks. I haven't even made a dent in what I can order there but I'm working on it. The service is great there and the food even better. It's not fast food but they sure are quick about it! They have updated the decor and you can now feel like you're transported. Don't miss out on a good food- go in!

Excellent time and time again! Horchata is great and you get a refill, birria tacos are amazing and the sopes are huge!

This is one of the most authentic restaurants to get Delish Mex food. They have a walk up counter to place your order and then your meal is served at your table. The ambiance is very upbeat. The food is incredible. It stays very busy but service is quick.

I visited Mexico Tipico on a Sunday around noon. It was super busy which was good sign. You order up front and they bring you the food. The building probably used to be a fast food franchise that went under. Looking around all the food looked legit. I prefer a carnitas torta. The meat was really good. Probably the best Mexican I've had in the boro so far.

As a local I sorta hate to highlight this place--but it is what it is: best Mexican restaurant in Murfreesboro and one of the best worker friendly restaurants in Tennessee. You want good food, fair pricing, ample service and totally relaxed setting? Here is your place. I really like how all types of folk are there. We all come for the great food. Best tacos in a sit-down restaurant. All sorts of authentic Mexican dishes. Wonderful breakfast. Best hash browns around. And I love the chorizo plate, so tasty, what a deal.

The food is stellar! So flavorful and authentic. Went for Birria tacos the first time, and the were delicious. But with it cooler outside, the Birria de Res soup is the warm your soul comfort food. Sublime Don't forget to order yourself chips and Sal's because they have some of the best salsa in town. Lastly, they have a squeeze bottle bar with a green and roasted salsa, I could drink the stuff. Yum

This is one of the best taco joints in Murfreesboro. This is coming from someone that does not choose Mexican food as first choice. The tacos here are good. They are very flavorful. The menu is very old school looking. The staff is a little hard to understand but if you point to what you want, you will get it. The inside looks like an old burger join or some fast food joint. It needs to be fixed up a little. Overall a place I will come back to.

Best tacos I've had so far! As a CA native who moved out to TN my main concern was finding authentic Mexican food especially tacos that taste like Cali. Luckily I found this hidden gem on my way home and I couldn't be more happy because this has now become my new taco spot. Of course I will be trying other menu options next time, but as someone who loves tacos and takes them very seriously you won't be disappointed! Also service was great, workers were nice and friendly.

The Birria Quesa tacos are the best I've had in Murfreesboro. I highly recommend you give this place a try! I'll definitely be back!

For a fast food set up this place had really good sit down food. The color and ambiance was very authentic, more than "typical/tipico," only was driving through that area but it was a good stop.

This restaurant is authentic and absolutely the best we have found. The bierra tacos were amazing. The place was packed, the prices can't be beat and the food delicious. Mexico Tipico is our new favorite.

Probably one of the best street tacos I've had lately but they weren't the nicest. They messed up on an order and refused to refund me. And I rarely complain. I let it go and paid for their mistake but most likely won't be back. Looked like an old car sales building, nothing fancy, and not the cleanest floor. Oh and menu is not in English. If you know what to order, you're good to go. Otherwise, I would steer clear. Plenty of other options in town.

The place has the best birria tacos in Murfreesboro. Super good & cheesy..The beef is cooked so perfectly

Went here for the first time and definitely will be coming back. Staff was friendly, the dining area was very clean. The food was delicious. Probably the best Mexican food in Murfreesboro. Definitely authentic. Highly recommend The menudo and al pastor tacos

Service was quick. Birria tacos were amazing so was the pork tamales. Chips and salsa were good as well. Carne asada and al pastor street tacos were ok. Reasonably priced.

Food is great!! However driving through the drive thru is unbearable. The smell from the trash cans is horrible. Trash needs to be emptied perhaps more than once a week and trash bin disinfected. There needs to be more of a health etiquette with the staff touching their hair and grooming themselves at the counter then serving the food. 8-27-23 Came back through today and there is NO Smell!

100% authentic Mexican food!!!! 100% hole in the wall. 100% non English speaking staff. But 100% the best Mexican in town! Birria tacos are a must have here along with their tamales and horchata! I have not tried anything else but have never been disappointed with what I've ordered. I will definitely be back!

online ordering is easy that's a plus, but personally I would never eat here again. my husband and I were so excited because the reviews were so good but it was the blandest food i have had. the lack of spices were disappointing. It's probably a good place for the bland white people, but it's not authentic at all. we ordered the birria tacos (steak and chicken but we only received chicken so thats all I can comment on) also got queso and chips which was average (not the worst and not the best). it was like a Mexican Cracker Barrel as far as seasoning and spices go, hope that helps.

If you're looking for THE BEST birria tacos in murfreesboro....look no further! So good...the meat could stand to have a tad bit more seasoning, but the consomé was chef's kiss. Their consomé actually had flavoring unlike most places I've tried. They do have a drive thru which is very convenient if the inside is crowded with no where to sit. Someone recommended this place to me and I'm definitely not disappointed. It's a must try!!! The pineapple Fresca is good too; very refreshing.

Absolutely delicious. These Quesabirria Tacos were fire. I've got to try a few more things out before I can give them 5 stars. I had these delivered so I can't speak on the service or vibe. I can speak on these Tacos though, and they were excellent. Would definitely hit this place again.

You will never forget your first Barria Taco!! I still get teary eyed thinking about how delicious these tacos were!!! This is a very small quainte establishment, with BiG banging flavored food! I wanted to be alone with them so I ordered to go and man oh man!! I should have tik-toked those babies. Don't let the mom & pop shop feel fool you, they know what their doing! The only downside is...I'm in Austin and their in Murfreesboro Tennessee.. :(...until we meet again! Happy Eating :)

This is the spot I've been looking for. Straight talk.. I'm from San Diego. Mexican food there is sooo different than the texmex and just difference style of food at most Mexican spots here in Tennessee. When you go to Mexico Tipico expect to find authentic flavors and recipes that will take you south of the border. I come back every week.

I've been to México Típico Restaurante many times for breakfast and those incredible Birra Tacos and breakfast Burritos but this was my first time for dinner. Dined with a friend and we had a wide variety of food from Sopa de Albondigas (meatball soup), Mulitas Carnitas, Sopes Spicy Pork, and Carne Asada. Everything was really good, portions are huge, and the meals arrived hot. The Sopes was OK neither of us cares for the tortilla part. They were extremely busy but from placing your order at the register you had your food within 10 minutes. Great food, not expensive, and they take your order quickly and deliver your food fast!

The birria queso tacos are AMAZING! My husband is from a border town of AZ and Mexico and these are very similar to the traditional ones he grew up with. Yum!

What a find! And I didn't even have Mexican food! If I had it, I would probably give it a five star. All I did was have breakfast, but it was all executed perfectly. Even the hash browns were better than american restaurants. I can't wait to come here again and try some real Mexican food.

This place is authentic and marvelously delicious. We went right after lunch right after the peak time. Everything was phenomenal and packed with flavor. The birria tacos were absolutely the star of the show. Crispy - cheesy - seasoned to perfection and the sauces = outstanding. The sopas were good too, but different level with the tacos!

The service was good and quick. You walk up to the counter to order and sit down with your number and they'll bring it to you. I got the Birria Tacos and they were, I can't stress this enough, DELICIOUS! Very authentic food and pretty reasonably priced. I highly recommend it!

So this is quite the story. After reading about this in the monthly publication, "The Murfreesboro Post", I was intrigued by the mention of the Mexican French Dip. As it is not convenient to me, I've meant to try it but could not until today. In addition a coworker raved about it, elevating my curiosity. As I was the only Gringo in the place, I had a language barrier issue with the person at the order counter. I loved the fact that I was the only gringo. It added credibility to the menu. She had no idea what a Mexican French Dip was. A kind soul next in line used this modern magical device and searched the internet. She informed me that I wanted #41 - Birria de Res. That loosely translates to "Rubbish of Beef". What I was served was no wheres near "rubbish". It was great. I was presented with a large bowl of shredded beef enjoying a hot tub of a wonderful tomato-chili "soup". A side dish had onion, cilantro and jalapenos to decorate your bowl with. It reminded me of pho except no noodles and it was Mexican. So where did the French Dip come in? I dunno. I played with several options including dipping the tortillas in the broth and making tacos with drained meat. I did not care. It was tasty. The dish was accompanied by a plate of the boring typical refried beans and rice. Nothing special here, so I just tasted it. The horchata was typical of the stuff that is served from a beverage distribution company. Nothing special here again. Decor was open and airy, which was nice, but a more involved setting might have garnered higher rating. It was great being offered something other than seasoned meat wrapped in different tacos, burritos, etc, etc. I did not even reduce their ratings because someone backed a trailer into my car, denting the door. I had to cancel two tutoring appointments, deal with the police and insurance company. This is not the restaurant's fault. If it happened once, it could happen again. Be careful where you park. Tee-hee.

We had such a great dinner tonight and I would highly recommend checking it out. We tried most every taco (even the beef tongue which we've never had before and it was really good??) and our favorites were carnitas, pastor, and barbacoa. The fish taco (pescado) was also very good! Surprising, one of the top hits was the simple bean & cheese burrito. For less than $2, it was so cheesy and soft in the best way. Excited to go back and try more burrito items next time. Also, you gotta get their guac because it was so fresh! Cheese dip and salsa were also really good. Not to mention you can order online and pick up in the drive thru! Staff was so friendly and the food was ready right on time and packaged so well. ....and it was all so good that there are absolutely no pictures to share because it was devoured immediately.

Great food and a ton of choices to choose from. Rare find in Murfreesboro but would consider this restaurant to be one of the better authentic places to dine. Really enjoyed the flavors and service. Will return frequently.

Fresh authentic mexican food. Its absolutely delicious and a great portion! I have the birria quesa tacos with the consumé its the perfect meal! You could literally feed a family for 40$ the prtions are definitely shareable! I love this place and highly recommend it!!!

My absolute favorite place to eat ! The food is so fresh! You can even see some produce growing out front ! My order is always correct and the portions are so large that I can't finish it all! Best authentic food in the city!

Birria Tacos get them put them in your face they're amazing. Best thing ever. Place is small mom and pop but it's amazing

If you want authentic food, then this is the place to go! I had Enchiladas de mole, and it was excellent. My husband had a chicken taco salad and enjoyed it very much. I suggest getting online and studying the menu before you go, as their menu is posted behind the counter and is a little hard to read. We will definitely be back!

The people there are usually pretty nice and the food is as authentic as it gets! Everything I've had here taste good. Yes, they'll have your tacos and burritos, but if you're wanted to try something outside of that, this place is knows how to do it! Prices are actually pretty good and not expensive at all. They also have a drive-thru and dine-in option.

Love this place! The food is amazing and they are always so helpful and nice. Very authentic Mexican and pictures for those of us with weak spanish skills.

Best Birria Quesa Tacos in the boro! The taco itself taste great, then the broth is packed w/ flavor and that tops it off perfectly.

I ordered lunch to go one day. There was a language barrier with the person I spoke to on the phone. Not to mention she was having side conversations with someone else while on the phone with me... Strange but fast forward to the food. I ordered birria tacos and two carnitas tacos. The birria tacos are very good. Granted, this was my first time ever having birria tacos. So I don't have anything to compare them to, but they tasted great to me. Crunchy outside with a meaty inside. The red and green sauce were good too. They had a slight kick to them and were so flavorful. The carnitas really disappointed me tho. They were extremely dry and didn't taste very good. Carnitas are not supposed to be dry at all. Overall, it was a decent experience. I will go back when I need my birria taco fix. I also want to try their other tacos.

It's the best, Mexican you'll find in these parts. The atmosphere is pretty much just fast food, but the food is truly delicious.

Being from Southern California this is the most authentic Mexican food (not Tex mex nastiness) in Murfreesboro, so good!

I've passed this place several times. My husband and I finally decided to give it a try today! We had the Birria Tacos and Chimichanga! The food was like no other Mexican food we've had in town! Seriously so good! Definitely come give this place a try!

Good authentic Mexican food. 1 of the 2 restaurant i care to come to when i want some Mexican food in Murfreesboro. It's a hole in the wall type of place. Order at counter and find a seat. Usually very packed . I ordered lengua(tongue) , Tripa(intestine), and Asada(steak) tacos. These are the 3 go to's when i get tacos -Lengua (Beef Tongue)- Very delicious! Very tender pieces of meat. Mild flavor . Squeeze the lime and choose between the red or green sauce with a pickled carrot. Amazing! - Tripa (intestine) - Sounds weird , But hear me out. The flavor is absolutely amazing! Little saltiness. Very good crunch from either being fried or stir-fried. With the lime and red sauce . You will be blown away! Give it a try. I'm positive you will love it. -Asada (steak)- Good meaty flavor. The only downfall is that it's never consistent here. It's either super dry, or super juicy. The reasoning for removing a star. -Michelada drink- It's sorta like a Bloody Mary. Has tajin in the rim. A beer of your choice. I usually do modelo. Good spices. Give it a try! I've also had the birria tacos several times. It's absolutely delicious! Always consistent. Give that a try too! I recommend Mexico tipico to everyone!

Not your average Middle TN taco joint. This place is nothing fancy at all --counter order, menu posted on the wall, take a number, have a seat and wait for deliciousness kinda place. I anxiously awaited the arrival of my "dipped" tacos --birria tacos, they are called. They were fresh and very flavorful. The broth for dipping gave them an extra pop of flavor. I ate all three and was completely stuffed.

1st time here. Traveling to Missouri for Spring Break. My wife wanted Cracker Barrel. They had 30 minute wait. Ran next door to eat. I was very IMPRESSED . Ordered Carne Asada. Truly authentic Mexican food. We will be going there again. Be sure to try it.

I heard barrias tacos the thing to get now. And this place has it. The barria meal comes with three tacos and consommé to dip your tacos and some hot sauce. It was delicious! We also tried their street tacos got lengua and tripa if you know you know. Tripa was a bit too dried and over cooked for my liking but overall it was fresh tacos and good. Came after the lunch rush hours. Heard it can get pretty busy here. They got dine in sitting but I prefer take out.

This place never disappoints. The most delicious Mexican food we have had. We frequent this place at least once a week

Holy Birria! I placed my order and then noticed the sign saying they now have birria and consume', cancelled my order and tried to swim in the consume. This is honestly the best taco I've ever had and I'm going back every week. Pepper plants outside lets you know the food is fresh. Can't praise these tacos enough. Go now. (Squeeze lime in the consume')

I've had almost all their tacos and burritos and they are delicious! Being from San Diego, it has been surprisingly hard to find really good, authentic south of the border Mexican food. Mexico Tipico's tacos and burritos are on point. If you know you know! :) However, I was so disappointed in their Menudo. Got it for the first time today and no bueno. It tasted gamey and bland...tbh, it tasted like water with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I didn't taste any herbs ie: bay leaf, oregano, etc. Not to be rude but it literally made me feel nauseous after having only a tiny bit of the menudo. Another thing I noticed is their machaca burritos (that I order on a weekly basis) was significantly smaller today. I have been telling all my friends and family about how big and delicious they were. They also now charge for extra salsa/hot sauce which is not a biggie. It's understandable with inflation going on. Today, the machaca burrito was still delicious but tiny. Do yourself a favor and skip the Menudo!
