Taqueria Hidalgo

i received my food and the meat is burned QUEMADA and ni tiene sal ……la horchata tasted spoil and the lady didn’t refund us she claimed it was “made daily” so we just got a jarritos. and we waited more thanh 35 minutes for 3 i teams #NO RECOMIENDO

When we first arrived, we were greeted with the kindest woman (I’m assuming the manager) who walked us a little bit through the menu and offered her help with any questions we had. The tacos came out quick, tasted AMAZING (very fresh and the corn tortillas were the best I’ve had), and that same woman came around and asked about our experience and if there was anything she could help with. I even went back for more! 100% recommend.

Ordered some carne asada from here, and it was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten! The food was fast and very fresh, and extremely filling!

I can tell why they are 2.9. I ordered through grub and got there and was told “we don’t check grub often you need to use the app. Which is not an option on the web ordering. Got my food 15 minutes later. Good. Got home the quesadillas were dripping in oil. Not even done. The pork in the quesadillas was sooo dry I could not chew it. Not a good experience.

The man rounded up my bill without asking me. They stole .55 cents from me. I won’t be going back. Think how much they make by rounding up and expecting you not to notice till it’s too late. It’s scammy behavior. The other Mexican place next to it is much better.

Tasty tacos, I had carna asada and pollo

Order tacos. The tortilla is very greasy. Not a lot of meat. Pretty much empty. The onion and the cilatro are barely any. Basically more tortilla than meat. And the lengua it's just boiled. Let's not talk about the price 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦‍♂️

It was my grandmother's first time to Plaza Mariachi and both of our first times at Hidalgos. Thank you to the two girls 👧 💕 from Ecuador and Venezuela 🇻🇪 we amazing. We enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere.

Overall 5/5: Taqueria Hidalgo was one of the limited restaurant choices in Plaza Mariachi. Definitely did not disappoint though. Food 5/5: I had a simple asada quesadilla, but it was so flavorful. It was perfectly cooked, amazing flavor. It looked plain, but it kicked for sure. Definitely had me wanting more. Even my friends that had a bite wished they had gotten the same thing as me. Service 5/5: Fast service, friendly. They were quick for the orders. The line was long, but it went by quickly. Did not have to wait long for our meals. Thank you, Taqueria Hidalgo!

Really sad to come to plaza mariachi excited for food then really disappointed in the lack of flavor. This food was surprisingly so bland. We tried the Birria tacos and Nachos. No salsa. Eat before you come here!

This is a good little restaurant located in Plaza Mariachi. We came here on a Sat night and it was very easy to grab food here and enjoy the musical acts outside. We got nachos and quesadillas and the food was very tasty and very affordable! The flavors here are great and it's a very convenient place to visit. We'll definitely be back!

Chips were extremely salty & service was not the best, not even decent honestly. Chef has a heavy hand and the server was not attentive. We ordered the gringo burrito & two shrimp tacos with chips & guac. Burrito was good, so was the taco but it was doused with cilantro. Not to mention we also only got one of the tacos, we let the server know & all he said was "ok" then went to eat his lunch lol.

Tried this place while visiting Plaza Mariachi! And my only complaint was I didn't order more tacos. The tacos were fresh and seasoned well. Decidedly going back for more!

Good place to grab a quick lunch if you are around plaza. I came here to go to Tres Guachos but they were closed on a Thursday. This place got my business instead. Good large portion quesadillas & their chorizo is pretty good also. Standard street taco & similar fare. Price isn't too bad either.

Aparte de que "no recibieron el ticket" de mi online order me dieron literalmente salsa para UN TACO nada más , segunda ves y mal servicio hotra ves.

El peor restaurante mexicano de allí. Había cucarachas y ratas en el área de la cocina y el servicio de atención al cliente era horrible

ate here and had a great time, if you know what i mean . they had all the right things. hit the spot and i was satisfied for the rest of the day. they even complimented me on my! i cannot belive, guy.

Everything was amazing! The Carne Asada taco was my favorite thing followed closely by the Tostadas, but literally everything we tried was delicious. Located inside Plaza Mariachi - staff was semi friendly- they delivered everyone else food, but not ours which was kinda weird.

Plaza Mariachi, where have you been all my life? In just one visit, this has become one of my favorite spots in Nashville to visit and take out-of-town guests. The atmosphere was unlike anything I've experienced in Nashville. For indecisive foodies like me, the culinary options at Plaza Mariachi can be overwhelming when you first visit. I opted for the first place I saw: Taquería Hidalgo (they had me at burrito). And I was not disappointed. I was in the mood for chicken, so I ordered a pollo taco and a pollo burrito. The burrito was covered in (delicious) queso and was stuffed with black beans, lettuce and pico de gallo. The chicken in both the burrito and the taco was great. I also loved the corn tortilla used in the pollo taco. I highly recommend trying some of the self-serve crema and hot sauces located where you pick up your order. The price I paid for the meal was very reasonable and the amount of food was generous to say the least. Although I hope to eventually try all of the eateries at Plaza Mariachi, I'll definitely have to return to Taquería Hidalgo to try more of the menu items.

They said the wait time was 30-45 min and then after they only had tacos and quesadillas to serve. I got asada tacos and my husband and mother in law got adobada... SADDEST tacos I've seen in my life. Just a cold hard tortilla and the meat with nothing more. At least the meat was good so I gave it 1 star. You can ask for onion and cilantro but they give you so little on your taco. For someone who wants actual Mexican food, please don't let this represent our culture; I promise we have WAY BETTER tacos. Nos dijeron que el tiempo de espera era de 30 a 45 minutos y luego solo tenían tacos y quesadillas para servir. Compré tacos de asada y mi esposo y mi suegra de adobada... Los tacos MÁS TRISTES que he visto en mi vida. Solo una tortilla dura y fría, la carne así nada más. Al menos la carne estaba buena, así que les doy 1 estrella. Puedes pedir cebolla y cilantro pero te dan muy poco en tu taco. Para alguien que quiere comida mexicana real, no dejes que esto represente nuestra cultura; Te prometo que tenemos MEJORES tacos.

Taqueria Hidalgo is located inside of Plaza Mariachi, in the main food court, to the left if you're facing the stage. I've tried their taco, quesadilla, and pupusa. All were tasty. They have a range of salsas off to the side. After seeing what other people at my table ordered as well, I don't think there's an item on the menu I wouldn't recommend. You can even watch them cook everything fresh! You order at the stand to the left, and then go find a table while they're making your food. The system is supposed to text you when your food is done, but I don't think it always works. If you just keep an eye on the area to the right where they serve finished dishes, you can normally nab yours before the text comes through. I've even seen the staff carry out a dish to someone when they aren't busy! Given that this isn't really what they're set up to do, it was nice of them. My second time at Taqueria Hidalgo was a stop for lunch, and the service was outstanding. The woman taking the orders was so friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. She explained any menu items, offered suggestions, and even gave some tips of things to try from the other businesses in the Plaza. You could tell that she loved and believed in their food, and that makes a big difference. This can't happen as well when the Plaza is packed and loud, so I recommend going at a quieter time if it's your first experience.

My coworker and I decided to give this place a try since we worked in the area. We arrived shortly after 11 right when they had opened and probably the first customers of the day. The menu looked really good so we opted on ordering al pastor tacos. The worst part: meat smelled sour and old, like fermented pork meat and it tasted sour. I've had my fair share of Mexican food and particularly al pastor meat and this by far was the worst experience ever. I ended up trashing my food and my coworker and I left. Not coming back. -1 star if I could

The worst Gordita I've ever had. Barely any meat, they served the lettuce & tomato on the side and literally threw the meat on top of the Gordita (not inside like it should be). The Gordita itself was hard as rock and looked like it was 2 weeks old. Pathetic Gordita and I'm ashamed to say I spent 5.99 for this!

Taqueria Hidaglo, you had me at queso smothered burrito. I'm so tired of going to places that charge extra to put that liquid gold all over my food. And then they never put enough on. Not Taqueria Hidalgo. They spoke right to my food soul. Taqueria Hidalgo is located in Plaza Mariachi. We came here on the 4th of July so it was pretty busy, but not annoyingly busy. There are several options in the food court but as soon as I saw their burrito description, I was hooked. There was a short line but it went pretty quickly. We ordered 2 barbacoa burritos, paid, and then gave them our number so they could text us when the food was ready. We grabbed a seat and enjoyed the entertainment (a live mariachi band). We got a text about 10 minutes later and our burritos were hot and ready. Not a long wait considering it was a holiday. These burritos are a thing of beauty. Queso is poured over top and not in a skimpy way. They also come with some salsas on the side to add a little kick. The barbacoa was juicy and flavorful. The veggies were fresh. It was all the perfect combination of goodness. The burrito was big but I was able to almost finish the whole thing. My boyfriend had to finish the last few bites while I finished licking up the rest of the queso. I was full. I was really full. For the price point and flavor, this place is hard to beat. It would be the perfect place to grab a quick lunch. Or dinner. Or whatever. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's in a "food court". It's not your typical noisy dirty mall food court. It's beautiful, clean, and delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu...with queso.

Best tacos I have had in forever. Well seasoned meat with a bit of spice, great green sauce, and good tortillas. The birria tacos especially are to DIE for!!!! Hot, crunchy, fatty-oily and flavorful!

I am still thinking about my burrito that I had for lunch from last week. With COVID-19, there was only one staff working and preparing the food. I was really happy to see that they had quite a few people ordering from them. My friend and I didn't mind waiting. I ordered the beef burrito with no beans and it arrived warm and crispy. The beef was full of flavor and I was savoring every single bite. The burrito was topped with queso and the crema had just the kick I was looking for. I look forward to going back and trying the gorditas that others have been raving about.

Meh. We were at Plaza Mariachi to go shopping and decided to stop for brunch. None of the food stands or restaurants in Plaza Mariachi open until 11, so we waited around for a bit, and Taqueria Hidalgo opened pretty quickly, so we went there. The food was okay. My husband ordered a taco and couple of pupusas. I got two gorditas. Nothing really stood out. The al pastor was wasn't something I would order again. The veggie gordita was okay as well. It was just very underwhelming. I probably wouldn't go again, unless I was in a pinch.

The gorditas are insanely good! We've now tried 5 types and they were all amazing. Are favorites were the camaron (shrimp), al pastor, and carne asada! We came 2 weeks in a row because we loved it so much. And Plaza Mariachi, where the stall is located, is so beautiful.

4.5 Plaza Mariachi does it again! The evolution of the Plaza as a community stronghold and incubator for small (minority-owned) businesses is truly remarkable and I enjoy experiencing all the new changes that pop up from here to there. Today's new (to me) change was the inclusion of Taqueria Hidalgo. It replaces... another restaurant property whose name escapes me but I think this one is going to be much more successful. Why? Because this venture offers something I haven't found anywhere else in Nashville: huaraches. I first 'discovered' huaraches when I lived in Chicago. My assistant and I happened upon a garden-level mom & pop shop on the north side of town serving 'football-shaped Mexican pizzas.' I was hooked. I had two in one setting and vowed to return for more. Then I moved out of the city. Then I moved again. With as many excellent and authentic Mexican eateries as Nashville has, I was a bit surprised to not have seen the legendary huaraches but I let it go. And then I spied this new opening... and peeped the menu. It.was.on. I made my way to PM to meet a friend for lunch and we went to town. TH is located in the Plaza's central food court. Similar to some of the other eateries, look over the menu in line (there's also a menu board in the back of the restaurant and a visual aid by the register in case you're unfamiliar with the menu items), order at the counter, give your name/number, take a seat, wait to be texted, eat. Simple, right? I ordered a barbacoa huaraches and a chorizo con papas gordita. Oh, and a Sangria Senorial. It was all so so good. First thing I noticed was how fresh everything was. Don't be fooled by the lack of visible dirty pots and pans and other homespun kitchen items, this is the real deal. Masa. Proteins. Vegetables. Beans. Crema. My gordita was spilling over with chorizo (deliciously spiced), queso fresco and lettuce. Further inside was pico de gallo and, on top, was just the right amount of crema. It was so much that I ate the majority of it with a knife and fork. At the conclusion of eating the gordita, I thought I may have ordered too much. I was already sorta full! Not one to admit food defeat, I tore in to my huaraches. It wasn't as transcendent as my Chicago original but it was still really darn good. The masa was topped with black beans, plenty of barbacoa, lettuce, crema, pico de gallo, and queso fresco. To that, I added mild tomato sauce and the creamy jalapeno sauce (love that green stuff). Every bite was full of flavor and incredibly filling. My buddy (his first time eating huaraches) was extremely happy with his meal and mentioned that he would return. Until today, I hadn't been to a Nashville Mexican eatery that served huaraches or gorditas. TH serves both -- well. This one is going in to my rotation. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

Ordered the asada burrito at was big and good. The asada tacos were good too. While we enjoyed our food we enjoyed people playing the lotteria and winning cash prizes.

Love coming to Plaza Mariachi, but first time trying this place. Pretty disappointed in the quality. The chips were stale and tasted like they bagged. Asked for white queso and got nacho cheese. Tacos were not great for the price. Okay, I'm done complaining.

The tacos are quit expensive considering they're not that good. I only recommend the gorditas. Get a beverage else where, they have maybe 4 beverages to chose from and water.
