La Taqueria Milagros

In the continued pursuit for good authentic tacos in Nashville, decided to drive down Charlotte Pike and just start trying some of the taquerias along the way. This is an interesting one. They have a taco truck parked in the lot in front of the store. You can order tacos at the truck counter, head inside to eat them at one of the tables, and enjoy the barely viewable spanish television shows on an old tv with bunny ears. There must be something about not being able to have a kitchen in that storefront because the truck in the driveway doesn’t even have wheels. That mobile kitchen isn’t looking so mobile.
The tacos were about what I expected. They were good but not the best I ever tasted. They were certainly a million times better than the fake tacos they serve at Mamacita, Local Taco, and San Antonio Taco Co. They also have a good selection but the menu is all in spanish, so be prepared. The current meat menu lists: Asada (steak), Pastor (marinated pork), Carnitas (pork), Buche (pork esophagus), Tripa (beef stomach), Chicharron (pork rind), Barbacoa. You can also get tortas, gorditas, quesadillas, burritos, and they serve a couple of soups. The tacos are served traditional with two griddle-​heated corn tortillas, meat, onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. The nice touch they add is some griddled onions (almost carmelized) and a whole jalapeño. I’ll definitely be back. There’s also a little Mexican bakery right across the street if you are craving something sweet after filling up on tacos.
