Thank you Taquería la Jaquilita for my thanksgiving lunch while being away from family. A couple friends and I walked in to grab a quick take away lunch. We got pupusas and tacos to share. The pupusas were so good! I am such a fan and always forget how much I love them. The tacos were traditional street tacos, the best way to have a taco. Double wrapped corn tortilla, meat, cilantro, and onion. Pretty affordable and really friendly service!

Las aguas naturales, postres ricos y Los tacos están bien bergas !!!. Vale la pena ir a comer

I'm not sure which one of my buddies recommended this "hole in the wall" gem, but bless you. Be patient with the staff, all of them don't speak English fluently, but are very kind. I grabbed a few tacos and added a side of rice & beans. I was excited that they served black beans versus the traditional refried. The steak was good, but per usual I liked the chicken a little better. The food tasted like it was cooked with love. There is limited seating inside but enough room to enjoy a quick bite comfortably.

It is a hole in the wall joint like one might find in Central America ... the food is authentic and delicious. The green hot sauce definitely has a kick. I recommend d if you want authentic food of Mexico and Central America.

I don't have pictures to add because the food was SO good it was gone before I could remember to take one. As an out of town visitor staying in an area rental, I didn't think much of this place after passing, it is very unassuming. I read a review and it made me want to stop in, so glad I did. We tried multiple things and their tacos are an easy obvious choice, but these authentic street tacos were truly some of the best I've ever had. The Gordita's were also a tie for first and you get three with an order - try all the meats! Pastor was my fav liege and carnitas were amazing too. Everything was so flavorful and I wish I could say I will be a regular but maybe we'll be back to Nashville soon!

I was scrolling through my Yelp collections, looking for a good Latin restaurant. So glad I found this save from forever ago! We walked into the small store and the people quickly set out a table and chairs for my party of 6. We came at 3 in the afternoon, and they were super accommodating, given they were taking a rest in the dead period. Ordering is manageable without speaking Spanish, but I definitely felt things were better communicated when I was speaking Spanish. We ordered agua de jamaica, pupusas, burritos, empanadas, and tacos. Everything hit SO GOOD. I legitimately did not think Nashville had this quality of Mexican cuisine. It's so fire!!! The food came out within a reasonable time and it was piping hot. The flavors were explosive and unique -- I could tell they were from a part of Mexico I'm not familiar with, but I hope to get familiar. Out of all the food, my favorite had to be my singular barbacoa taco. I think they actually used lamb, which is my favorite. Finally, to be able to wash down everything with my tart agua de jamaica. That's what dreams are made of! Apart from the good service, the staff went above and beyond when my mother ingested too much salsa roja and her mouth was burning (LOL). They ended up bringing my family a quarter of a watermelon to enjoy and help my mom's mouth. Such a cute gesture. I can't wait to bring all my friends here!

Nothing quite like a down and dirty Mexican restaurant, right? Taqueria Juquilita is a bright orange building on Morrow in the Urbandale section of the Nations. As you walk in, you see a beverage cooler to the right along with a big open window where you can see them cook. To the right area a handful of tables and the requisite Mexican candles and statues. This joint focuses on Oaxacan food, which is a bit different from the typical border and/or Jalisco food normally seen in the United States. Oxaca is the place where mole originated and they have a mole or two on the menu. I did not try the mole, so I cannot vouch, but the rest of the food gets a definite thumbs up. When you first look at the menu, you are probably going to think "awfully expensive for a low rent Mexican place". But, the price is a bit deceiving. The portions are enough to make a big man (like me?) say "I need a to go box". I did not and I paid for it later. :D I grabbed the tlayuda, because I tend to grab something I am completely clueless about when I try a new place. What is it, you ask? Let me tell you. It is a large baked flour tortilla topped with refried black beans and melted Oaxacan cheese. It is baked a bit more and then topped with steak, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, and avocado. My friend had the shrimp tacos, which had an ample amount of boiled shrimp on top. The food tasted great. My only complaint is against me for eating the entire tlayuda. I think I went into a food coma. LOL Definitely recommend for authentic Mexican food, with the realization the dishes will be a bit different than your standard Mexican fare in the US. Reminded me of my last trip to Mexico, even though that was Guanajuato (north of Mexico City) instead of Oaxaca (south).

This spot is a hidden gem. On the west side of town the nations. I hadn't found any authentic Mexican on this side of town well this place is it. The food is delicious and so affordable. Make sure you bring cash because this place is cash only. I had the Tostadas de Camarón which I highly recommend it was fresh and tasty. I also had the tacos because I'm greedy lol Tacos you can't go wrong with if you can't decide what to order because they have plenty of choices. Next time I go I plan of trying the super taco. The place is small on the inside however it does have place for seating. There is ample parking in the front.
