Reviews For El Costal Mexican Restaurant & Grill

Great prices and great food. Privately owned and friendly staff. The tacos that I ordered and tested were great quality and were fresh. The salsa and chips were fresh as well and had great flavor. Overall its a nice environment and 100 (ONE HUNDRED FDA SCORE) which is rare. I've been to place after place in Nashville and rarely ever see a 100. For folks that don't know, that means this place is top notch clean and the food you are getting is being prepared with careful hands. I tested both the beef and chicken tacos and both were delicious. The proteins were flavorful and didn't taste frozen. Keep up the great work! I will be back again soon for another swing. This time a more extravagant dish.

Oh wow, what a great place. Beautiful building and amazing staff. Everyone was so friendly and the food was amazing. I love that the booths are spacious and the layout is open. I had the fajitas and birria tacos. It was absolutely amazing. Even as leftovers, it was delicious. Food came fast, fresh and perfect. Served with a smile. I look forward to coming back.

The service was excellent. Our server seated us right away, checked on us several times, and was very nice. The food was fresh and delicious! The Margarita hit the spot too! It was really busy but we didn't have to wait for very long for our food and drinks. I'll definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I just moved to Tullahoma and came here for dinner and it was so delicious! The service was amazing and they do trivia every Saturday 7pm-8pm! The drinks were also super tasty and bigger than we thought they’d be! We will definitely be back!
