About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

So I went and got some tacos at the place, and they were decent. I got in, and even though the place looked like a fast food place from the outside, it functioned more like a mexican place with a waitress once inside. She took my order, and got me my food with reasonable speed, and when I got back to work, the tacos are tasty, but small. I didn't think they worth $1 apiece, but that's just me. Perhaps I'll go back and try the burrito at some point, but I was just a little disappointed with the tacos.
(3)Angelina T.
Great taqueria! Went with some work folks from lunch. I was excited to see agua de horchata on the menu, it reminded me of Mexico. Of course I ordered it and it tastes just like Mexico, not the greatest but good enough to satisfy my craving. The waitress was very attentive and our orders came out fast. The menu had all of the traditional Tex-mex options: tacos, burritos, tortas (sandwiches), quesadillas, fajitas, etc. I ordered the fajitas de pollo (chicken fajitas) with a side of guac. It came with avocados, rice, beans, sour cream. The meat came with the traditional green peppers, onions and a lime slice. I mixed everything together, minus the peppers and onions. Tasted great! Pretty darn good food and a great price.
(4)Remy O.
Excellent trips tacos and pollo asado. Large glasses of aguas and you get the most bang for your buck!!! As for the helpers who commented about the greasiness or that you might end up with food poisoning?!? Go to taco bell, because you clearly don't know tacos or comfort food...
(4)Joseph R.
The reason I am truly disappointed is due to the fact that there was a hair on the very top of my wifes taco. She was trying this authentic style for the very first time, so it was a BAD imression. I had two beef tacos and a spicey pork taco. They were all three very tasty. They re-made my wifes food but she was already turned off so she couldn't eat it. They charged us for her food anyway. I've been there before and have enjoyed it, but due to this I can NEVER return.
(2)Nathanael R.
A friend at work introduced me to this place and it is a good thing too, otherwise I would be missing out! These tacos are excellent AUTHENTIC tacos! They also have some of the best quesadillas I've had. Portions are just right, 5 tacos for 5 dollars and I feel like I have over-eaten, and the ingredients are very high quality.
(5)jerry a.
My favorite place for Mexican food (especially seafood) when I'm in the area. They have an excellent selection of Mexican refrescos and of course the Coke made with sugar instead of that other crap. THEY ALSO HAVE VEG OPTIONS! They used to not have sweet tea but recently started carrying it. I had the spice pork tacos and a seafood mix tostado with tea for under $10. The tacos are 99cents and are a bit smaller than most Americanized versions you are probably used to so order 1 or 2 more than you think you can eat. The spicy pork was delicious, well flavored and with enough meat and other toppings to make them adequate, they will come on corn tortillas so if you want other, specify! I have had several of they seafood tostados and they are freakin huge! You actually get another bare tostado to move some of the toppings onto and you'll need it. Service is great and even when packed usually don't have to wait long for my food.
(4)Eric B.
so, then. i reviewed this place some time ago, i just had the info wrong: yelp.com/biz/taco-lopez-… on to my review: all right, nashville... if you didn't know by now, the taco stands you see on the side of the road are (for the most part) INCREDIBLE. i can understand if you're reluctant to try them, as they really aren't too terribly inviting. this particular joint would be a perfect "first timer's" place to check out street meat tacos. they've cleaned up this spot quite a bit. i remember stopping here many nights after 3am in anything but sober condition. back then, it was just a motorized stand/cart/truck like the others. they now have seating and a card machine. woooo! anyway, for lunch, you can get a half chicken, a gang of rice, a gang of beans, homemade tortillas, and a couple of times, fresh cut fries(??) for SIX DOLLARS! this is a criminal amount of food for next to nothing. and it's sooooo good. as far as the tacos go, i'm an al pastor man, and the al pastor here is second only to san luis. the horchata here is a little heavy (i'm not really much of a fan, anyway), and they charge you for each can of soda you get. anways, you get the deal. great food, great prices, and they speak english for the non-spanish-speaking -types. check it out asap! eric b aaaaand the update: just an update... the great nashville taco price war of 2009 has reached tacos lopez. they are NINETY NINE CENTS EVERY DAY!! i just decimated an order for the first time in a while and they were a mite better than i remember. show this and all taqueria lopez locations some love, nashville. the best tacos around for real. eric b

Happened upon this little place quite by accident, on a cross-country trek in the middle of a TN ice storm! Road rage opined that we diverge from the highway. The weather was so bad that most establishments were taking a snow day, but this warm and inviting place turned out to be just what we were looking for. We had good service and great food, despite the initial stares. I suppose they really were not expecting a couple of harried yankee lezbos to show up for lunch, so I do not blame them. I had a torta de barbacoa: scrumptious fresh grilled torta bun filled with melt-in-your-mouth marinated bbq pork, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and salsa! Co-road warrior had the roasted half-chicken (with rice and beans) and it was even better. it was the perfect amount of salty and roast-y with a nice hint of herby and mild spicy. I wanted to sit there eating it all day. Both came with a nice radish slaw. The ambiance was typical, napkin-dispensers-on-every-table casual. I'm almost glad our trip took an extra 4 hours because this place was worth it! They also have a fun selection of sodas in glass bottles- some are imported and might even be made with real cane sugar!
(5)shaun p.
Tacos sucked booo...they had cucumbers all over them when did mexicans start using them blah!
(2)Benjamin H.
This place has fairly good food, quick service, and a friendly staff.
(4)Peter K.
Lopez has a total of 6 other locations that I've counted in the greater Nashville area. They must be doing something right. The tacos here are called "authenticos" for good reason. It's what you would find on any street in any city in Mexico. The al pastor and the carnita's really shine at Lopez. Add a touch of the red or green sauce and you're set. Their version of lingua (tongue) is very mild and tender, don't be afraid to try it. Imagine the texture of corned beef on a taco. The addition of the caramelized onions really sets this place apart from so many of the other stands in Nashville. Be sure to get order an in-house made agua de pina.
(5)Ethan O.
I go to Lopez #2 at least once a week. Usually twice. The coal-smoked half chicken is amazing. I recently switched to the chorizo burrito and it is amazing as well. It's a great hole in the wall dive with a great price and delicious food.
(5)Bret D.
Mission style burritos and pollo al carbon. The half chicken cooked over coals on the barbecue is incredible. It is unlike any other chicken you will find.
(4)Lauren S.
Overall: One of those places I only go to if I have people who speak Spanish with me. Good, greasy and cheap Mexican food. Food/Drinks: If you have driven down Murfreesboro Rd (or Nolensville) you have seen the plethora of little Mexican joints with Spanish writing all over the outside. This is one of those places that feels less like you're going to get food poisoning from it. You can't go wrong with the carnitas and the quesadillas are enormous. Good options also include the old stand-by of a giant bag of chips & queso dip. (a large is enough to feed a small army, or a couple people in a newsroom haha.) Cost: I can't remember the exact price, but I doubt I have ever spent more than $8 for lunch (and that may be on the high side.)
(3)Brock H.
REAL Mexican food! I tried this spot on a whim and I was happily surprised. As soon as I stepped out of the car the only thing I could smell was bbq chickens from the grill outside. I ordered the half chicken with rice and beans for $7.80 and was very pleased with my choice. The service was great as well, I will be returning.
(4)Cass L.
Lopez is simply amazing food. I keep spreading the word and every new person loves it too! The food is inexpensive and delicious. The half chicken is a lot of food for $7 with sides, and it is barbequed to perfection. The burritos are large and stuffed with just about any meat you want. I recommend getting the 'spicy' similar versions where there is an option. The red and green sauces that I have seen no where else are both very spicy but add even more with the meal. I also tried the horchata to drink and it is great too!
(5)Jamie D.
This place doesn't look like much, inside or out, but they literally have the best tacos I've ever had. They have just about every meat you can think of but I prefer the chorizo. It is cooked until the edges are nice and crispy and it has just enough spice to it without burning your mouth. The green and red sauces are very spicy and I don't use them but I'm told their exceptional. The tacos are authentic so don't expect cheese and lettuce and all that like you get at Taco Bell. This is a warm, soft corn tortilla with your choice of meat, grilled onions, chopped white onions, cilantro, radishes, and lime if you want it. They are phenomenal and a MUST try at only $1.29 each. :)
(5)Janet S.
$6.00 for half a chuckie, smoked and cut up, small portion of rice and beans and a huge charred pepper, salsa and tortillas, excellent value, throw all that on a corner window seat for a view of the murfreesboro road and pablo eating his deep fried fish and you have a nice romantic Saturday lunch. Nice service in a bright clean environment. Will try the ceviche taco next time if I can resist the smell of the chuckie wafting in from the smoker.
(3)Dusty K.
I came here specifically based on their rating. 4.5 stars on Yelp is hard to achieve so I was expecting some killer little tacos. The tacos are little, cute maybe, but definitely not 5 star tacos. Yeah they come with onion, cilantro, and lime but my positives stop there. It's a decent Mexican spot in an area of Nashville I had never been. I passed a few Mexican places along Murfreesboro road so I hoped the one I was about to visit stood out from the rest. I went with 4 tacos; steak, chorizo, pork, and spicy pork along with a side of guacamole. The guac was a poor attempt as this is something I make at home almost weekly. It's such an easy thing to prepare which is why I was so disappointed. The tacos were mediocre as most tasted the same and the chorizo wasn't nearly spicy enough. Even the red sauce in the squeeze bottles didn't have any heat to it. I left wanting more. Yes my dinner only cost $7 but that doesn't mean I'm lowering my expectations. A few tweaks here and there and this place would be a solid 4 stars.
(2)Mike M.
i want to thank yelpers for this one. i got the snapper(fried) and it was exceptional. the rice and beans were above average as well. both red and green salsa were so good i couldnt decide which i liked better. highly recommended.
(4)Sheena T.
I came here for lunch with a large group of coworkers with a variety of backgrounds and tastes. Since I have been raving about this place for so long, I was a bit nervous that there could be a bit of narrow mindedness as most of them had never been to a authentic Mexican restaurant like this. I am happy to report that there was all around taco joy. I finally got to try the quarter chicken from someone else's plate....wow. It is so tasty! The chicken was juicy and tender, it fell off the bone! Another person had the fajitas and they were huge and smelled amazing. The rest of us had the tacos and raved throughout the meal. 2 people (who had never had authentic tacos) were so impressed they came back here for lunch the next day! There's a recommendation for you right there. I am happy to continue to spread taco joy to the world and look forward to creating more customers for this lovely Mexican joint!
(5)Lowell R.
Excellent. Do yourself a favor, and skip all the stuff you usually find in the taco trucks, and just get yourself a half of a smoked chicken. The grilled chicken is absolutely delicious, and there is enough food to feed a small army. It comes with half a chicken, beans, rice, grilled onions, a whole grilled jalapeño, lettuce, pico, and corn tortillas and you can top it off with the creamy, green salsa. If you're still hungry after that, please go see a doctor.
(5)Angie Q.
Always good. Have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The quesadillas are wonderful and we always get an assortment of tacos-my faves are the chicken and pork. I love the radishes and carrots, and the sauces. This location has a heavily Hispanic customer base, which is what drew me to it-I figured it must be good! And it is.
(4)Lincoln A.
Wasn't very impressed, nearly $9 for 3 tacos. The meat was (what I assumed to be) shredded chicken (kinda looked like salmon, no flavor) on a flour tortilla with onions and cilantro, no drink, no chips and no salsa. I figured there would be an up charge to have flour tortillas but nearly double the price of a regular taco. Expected more based on the reviews. There are several other a la carte style Mexican restaurants that I would try before going here.
(1)Mali C.
Clean, affordable, well flavored dishes. What's not to love? Giant pothole in parking lot maybe.. But I can deal for good tamales and tender carne asada that was nicely seasoned. Oh did I mention the horchata served in a glass as long as my forearm? Mmmm.
(5)Adams C.
SO FREAKIN GOOD I love the little radishes and the sauces and the corn tortillas and the chicharron and the telenovellas and the dudes eating the huge fishes. 1st place tacos. Only bummer is that the tacos are like 1.25 instead of 99 cents like they used to be.
(5)Chris L.
Awesome tacos! I've been searching for real Mexican food in Nashville and I've found it.
(5)Chris M.
We had a decent little snack here. Tacos were pretty good and properly done for the style. Gordita was really thin and not packed full like several other places I frequent. What they call the King Crab tostada was really imitation crab over tomato. I would try the shrimp and stay away from the "crab".
(3)Chris A.
So glad I finally tried this place. I tried the special. Lots of food for the price. Friendly staff. Novellas on the TV. Parking situation is good but can be a bit confusing on exit. No complaints from me. Good comfort food.
(4)Kumar S.
Authentic, cheap and amazing food! The most flavorful and tasty meat and tacos!
(5)Michael H.
Food was good but really high priced for what we got. Plus it isnt the cleanest place either.
(3)Gary L.
Best tacos ever!!! But the service are alright since they only have two servers. They run their ass off and do the best they can! Other than that, the food are delicious!!!
(5)Jim D.
From the outside this is a complete dive. A food truck sitting in front of a gas station that was converted into a restaurant and then had a screened in porch grafted onto it's side. Oh and there is a smoker rig sitting there. There is no reason to step foot in this place. But if you do you'll be most pleasantly surprised. The place is clean (97 health department rating) and has several sit down tables both in the old part and the screen porch area. Every time I've ever been to Tacos y Mariscos the same server has been working. She is friendly and while sometimes harried by too many tables always takes care of you. The menu has all of the normal food truck offerings from burritos to tortas and quesadillas. They are good but the gem is the grilled chicken. You get a plate piled with a half grilled chicken that is moist and full of flavor with rice and refried beans with a little pico for $7.68. Yes with tip you can leave stuffed for a 10! So do yourself a favor and don't judge a book by it's cover.

This place is near work, so I pick it up on the way to the office when in a rush. I get the chicken burrito. It's legit. They give you it on a to go place with salsa, hot sauce, sautéed onions, and some jalepenos on the side. You can dine in as well with table service. This is a Mexican restaurant that Mexicans go to.

Got 4 tacos (lengua, asada, carnitas, and chicharron) and rice and beans. Really tasty, quality was awesome, and the vegetables included were fresh and delicious. service was incredibly quick and the restaurant was very clean. Bill with tax was $8.75, will go again.

This review is for the barbecue chicken (al carbon) only. It was recommended by my friend Roberto from Mexico as the most authentic and best, and it is very good. I've tried other Lopez locations, all decent, but this seems to be the best. I had a quesadilla and it wasn't very good.
