Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan

Order a day ahead for tamales. They will make to order chicken or pork with green or red chilli. Always a monster hit at our Titans tailgate.

Back in the day, I was a kickball player who had games every Sunday, rain or shine off Thompson Lane. Prior to my retirement, I visited this Mexican place a good deal, and remember it being pretty good.
My job recently moved me from my favorite taco place off Murfreesboro Road, so I found myself here again this week, in dire need of the delicious authentic Mexican tacos that I so craved. It didn’t disappoint.
A few things that I love:
— They take credit card. Yes.
— That it is a drive-​thru. I LOVE this. Super convenient when I want to grab some tacos during a busy day and hit the road.
— The chorizo tacos. YES. I love that they are cooked very well, with the perfect amount of grease and flavor.
— The sauces. Make sure to ask for a side of the red sauce, it does not normally come with it, so you need to ask for it in addition to your order. You are welcome.
A few things I’m not a fan of:
— Grilled onions cost extra. Look… the tacos are 1.25 each and should come with grilled onions. It’s part of the tacos. I don’t like that this is an extra charge.
— I wasn’t a huge fan of the carnitas taco. It was OK but didn’t taste as fresh as I would have liked.
Otherwise, I am a fan and will be back. I am a sucker for convenience, and am going to be enjoying this place for a long time to come.

As a Mexican that lived in Los Angeles CA for 35 years & my wife & I recently moved to Nashville, I was looking for an authentic Mexican place that serves great food @ great prices. We found it in Carniceria & Taqueria Don Juan. The drive through may take a while so plan ahead (it makes sense to me since food is authentic) & don’t be surprised with the appearance of the place! This is one of the best places if not the best I ever had. Better than most Mexican places in LA. MUST try carne asada burritos & tacos & Mexican coke to go with!

Mm mmm tamales! 24 hour notice required if getting more than 6! So far these are the best tamales and closest to East L.A. flavor that I’m used to eating.
Rest of the food is ok but I’m a native Angeleno so my standards are high. Love those tamales!

tacos are fantastic. I got Carnitas, asada, and barbacoa tacos. $ 1.25 a piece and I would of paid triple that they were so good. Comes with a spicy green chile sauce to put over them. I gotta go because I am on my way back there… can you dig?!

Carne asada tacos are top notch. However, the salsa is straight from a jar. But all the tacos are incredible!

4.5 stars! The chicken here is on point. Great marinate and taste excellent. Not a big fan of their carne asada. The shredded pork is great as well. I got the chicken quesadilla, 1 chicken taco, 1 pork taco, and 1 asada taco. I have to say this is so far the best authentic Mexican fast food joint I found so far. Also, the food is not very greasy either.

Love this place, and I’m a gringo. Super friendly, great food, speak English fairly well.

Tacos melt in your mouth, I love the Asada and the beef, the spicy sauce makes these gems the best, you can’t just eat a couple, you need at least 4 – 6.

I need to update my review *see review from couple weeks ago*
I have since discovered A different taco truck and have dropped Don Juan from my list. The service is incredibly slow and rude (the mother rude, the daughter slow) at Don Juan and order accuracy is completely off. and I just don’t get that at all from The new truck I have been visiting. Venture 0.2 miles down the road and get way better! The food may taste good here but I cannot stand shitty service!

Okay, so I’m having sort of a hard times putting words together at the moment on account of the taco/​horchata-​induced food coma I’m currently experiencing…
Why people go and spend $ 5 on a specialty «craft» taco I will never understand… tacos here are $ 1.25 and quesadillas & burritos aren’t much more! Get an authentic taste of Mexico and more bang for your buck here than anywhere else in Nashville (except maybe Taco Bell, which doesn’t exactly count, nor compare!) Also, did I mention they have a drive-​thru?!
Personally, the chorizo tacos & a large horchata are my go-to’s.

Great Asada Tacos! Mexican Coke set the meal off just right. We came in the middle of the day so no frijoles and they were cook ing the taco sauce. So it was real authentic.

About the only Hispanic thing about me is my last name and my Latino «roots» go no further than those 5 letters. So my skinny white butt was ecstatic to stumble across Carniceria Y Taqueria Don Juan. The last time I saw a hanging slab of juicy pork or beef that was being shaved per taco order was when I travel up and down Baja. My 11 words in Spanish was no place for this authentic taqueria… you can get 4 carne Asada tacos for $ 5! You name it, they have your choice of meat here to pair with their corn tortillas, cilantro and lime. Simplicity is what makes this place great, not putting «Mas» on their «tacos». You won’t be disappointed! These are the best most authentic street tacos I’ve had west of LA.
Gracias por el tacos Don Juan, my gringo girl corazon is content.

This is a hidden gem in Nashville and I think I’ve been here more times than any other restaurant in town. Don’t let the appearance scare you off and if you’re lazy like me you can rejoice in the fact they even have a drive thru.
First and foremost, order a large Horchata. If you’ve never had it you can thank me later for opening your world to this delicious drink. As far as food goes I stick with what I love and always get the chicken quesadillas which comes with rice. Ask for a side of the green sauce but be careful because it is very spicy so don’t overload your dish with it without testing it first. I think the two things combined usually runs me about $ 8 so you can count on fresh delicious food, generous portion sizes for a very reasonable low price.

BEST TACOS I’VE EVER HAD. SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE. I lived in LA for 4 years and never had a taco this good. I never give Unilocal reviews but I had to just to try and help this place out. Get the green creamy hot sauce.

I used to live in Nashville and loved the tacos here but moved to LA for 5 years ago, all of my LA friends told me about different taco spots that were «the best» but nothing came close to the tacos at this place. I just moved back to Nashville with one of my LA buddies and we had their tacos today… They were even better than I remember!

Really great tacos at a great prices. Place looks rough but delicious food for a cheap quick meal.

This is hands down the best taco place I have found in Nashville. Don’t be scared by the downtrodden look of the place and the drive through only. The tacos are authentic, flavorful, and excellent. I’ve had better in other cities, but there is nothing better in Middle TN, so they get 5 stars.

There is not better place for great tacos at a cheap price, my gf and I make it a point to stop by Don Juans whenever we’re in the Nolensville area. Tacos de Carne asada definitely hit the spot and their little sitting area outside def makes the whole experience.

I’m from Los Angeles where Mexican food is as common as coffee shops, but these tacos beat any LA Mexican I’ve had. They’re served on small corn tortillas with cilantro and lime (same as in LA), but also with a side of a creamy sauce. Make no mistake, this sauce is HOT. The horchata is a little sweet for my liking, but is obviously homemade and has excellent flavor. I’d eat here every Taco Tuesday.
