Nashville is Having a Mexican Pop-up Moment - Eater Nashville

"From Nicky’s Coal Fired to Redheaded Stranger, Mijo Gordito has been making the rounds all around town with rustic, homestyle cooking ripped straight from abuela’s kitchen. Pozole verde studded with pork belly, tamales stuffed with puerco verde (slow-cooked pork with salsa verde), and chicken made with mole poblano get loads of attention and care: the pork butt is brined for eight hours, the chicken is seasoned with over 39 spices and herbs, and the pozole marries tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeños, cilantro, and onion for hours on end. Orders can be placed via Instagram DM but pick-up locations vary. Keep an eye on their IG for more information." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Finally got a chance to try their delicious looking breakfast burritos and it didn’t disappoint. Had their homemade chorizo and the addition of their nice and spicy hot sauce was delicious!

Some of the most tasty bites in town tucked into an unassuming hole in the wall in the Shops at Fatherland. I've been wanting the bigass burrito since the moment I laid eyes on it on social media. It was everything I've dreamed of and more with tender pastor, stupid delicious rice and beans, pulled together with saucy goodness and encapsulated in a majestic cheese and jalapeño encrusted tortilla. Also got to try the mornay mac n' cheese balls. Delicious crispity crunchy outside of ooey gooey savory inside. Dipped into the tomato soup, it was delectable. I can't wait to go back and try every menu item these folks think of! On top of being taste masters, they are also gracious and warm hosts.

Yesterday I visited Mijo Gordito for the first time. I was really impressed by the creativity that went into every menu item. My best description would be a cross culture fusion of flavor doubling as a therapy session at the table. The location is perfect. The chefs obviously have a lot of talent and heart for what they do which comes across not only in their dishes but in their modus vivendi of cooking whatever feels right to them. I'm excited to keep up with them for future exciting tastings and highly recommend you check them out!

Tiny hole-in-the-wall with amazing food and unapologetic staff who are gonna make what they like. Always worth eating. If you see then offering the big@$$ burrito, get it. It's amazing and will feed you all day. 🌯 🌯 🌯

It was a very wonderful mix of flavors. Spicy, sweet, a mix. All tasted very good. The cooks also answered any and all questions regarding the food they served.

Don’t skip this spot 🌮 And be sure to check out their Instagram stories & grid for delicious weekly menus specials There are a few indoor spots for seating and a community patio you can pull up a chair and eat.

This place has the best food in the neighborhood! All made by a sweet hardworking family with an adorable kiddo. They are constantly changing out the menu with delicious takes on classics.

What an honor to be the first to review such an awesome business! I came across this restaurant via Instagram. If you don't follow them, do it now! They have the funniest and sassiest captions. The food on their page looked so good so I dragged my sister out to find this spot! Their hours vary, so make sure you check their social media to see when they're available and what the menu is for the day. We ended up ordering 2 al pastor burritos, the crab rangussy, and the summer rolls. The burritos were HUGE! My sister and I shared 1 burrito and my boyfriend attempted at finishing one during one sitting, but he was defeated and almost passed out from a food coma. Everything tasted amazing and it definitely seemed like the food was made by someone who truly enjoys what they're doing. Make sure you check them out when they're open, because they do sell out!

Mijo Gordito is one of Nashvilles hidden gems and I am not mad about it because they make some of the best food in town. Pro tip # 1 - they are not open all of the time, gotta follow them on social media (Instagram - peep their stories for drops/open times etc). Pro tip # 2 - everything is excellent and we have not literally had a bad meal from them EVER. They are very accommodating with food allergies ( I am allergic to avocado) and they make it happen for me with no issues. They also do catering which my wife and I fully plan on taking advantage of (part of the reason they do not keep standard hours). Pro tip # 3 - they have limited area inside the storefront BUT they have a delightful shared courtyard to eat yo food. No pictures - because we suck and eat all of the food before we think of it. Get Mijo, no ragerts.

Everything I've had here is top notch. The burger is incredible and the creativity with all of their dishes makes this a must stop and try location.

Not only some of the best food that I have found in TN, but some of the best food that I've had period. Local family owned place where you can tell they put their heart and soul into everything they make. Their offerings are always changing so make sure you check out their instagram page where they post menus and updates often.

Everything we tried here was excellent. Everything was made fresh with fresh ingredients. You can tel they dont use out of season produce Cannot recommend eating here enough. Can't wait to come back! Going to be my go-to spot for pick up this winter.

This place is amazing! I got the burrito and it was the best burrito I've ever had. It's the size of a small child and totally great to split or have to yourself!! The owners are amazing and super welcoming and friendly.
