Alabama-born concept Taco Mama opens in Hillsboro Village

There’s a new taco in town, Nashville.

Taco Mama in Hillsboro Village opened last week in Nashville, offering a fast casual taqueria-style approach to tacos, bowls, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas. Located on the ground floor of Village 21, a new development at the corner of Wedgewood and Hillsboro, the space is vibrant and fun with a large chalkboard menu above the counter where you place your order.  Nashville is the 9th location of the concept, and the original opened in 2011 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Once you've decided which direction you want your personal food fiesta to go, you can go with their predestined recipes or mix it up a bit by building your own creations. They only charge for the meat  at Taco Mama, so load up on toppings and sauces to your heart's content. You can trust they source fresh, never frozen ingredients, and chop everything fresh in store daily on top of making their sauces each morning.

Feeling thirsty too? Don't despair. There are ample margarita options ahead. My personal fave: the seasonal blood orange variety. Taco Mama also has beer, wine, and sangria on the menu.

Since their opening in 2011, Taco Mama has won numerous awards across the state of Alabama, including "best taco joint in Alabama" according , in addition to awards for being family friendly, their margaritas, and even their unexpected menu item - the mac and cheese - the owner's own family recipe. 

Let's see what Nashville, Tennessee has to say about the new taco in town (hint: try the chorizo one).
