11/14/2025 stopped here for lunch. We ordered fried avocado tacos, shrimp fajita taco, and the chicken and waffle taco. All of the tacos were delicious, only complaint is the chicken was a bit dry and it needed more sauce on it.
The fried avocado tacos were absolutely delicious!! The salsa that they serve was also really yummy. For drinks we ordered their famous coconut cream margarita $18 each and I ordered just one of the regular margaritas. They were delicious!
I would recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner!!

If “Good enough” was the goal, this place definitely hits the mark.
The prelude to dining:
We sat at out table one of 3 tables sat with guests and our napkin dispenser had a single napkin in it which feels a little ridiculous for such a slow afternoon service. The server thankfully cleaned our table as we were seated which im grateful for. We got our drink orders in and were off to the races.
The good: the margaritas were great, our service was prompt and efficient. The flour tortillas, and the pickled onion on the brisket barbacoa were delicious.
The bad: everything outside of what I just outlined was honestly sub par. The salsa was watery more of a sauce than anything, the meats lacked any flavor and were more of a protein mush than brisket and birria, the birria tacos were cooked excellently but the meat and au jus just weren’t flavorful at all. The Spanish rice was crunchy and the beans despite all the visible ingredients lacked any substantial good flavor. The queso was brown and not kinda grainy like the rioux wasnt cooked off. Idk if the kitchens not following the Chefs recipe or if the recipes arent good. The creamy jalapeno dip was the only thing with any spice to it and it tasted like sour cream that sat next to a jalapeño for awhile.
The finale: after 4 tacos, 2 margaritas, queso, beans and rice costed $60 which wouldnt have been an issue if the food was good. Id give it a 67/100, its definitely calories and is edible but nowhere near the quality of food id expect in all honesty
Try another Mexican place and avoid this one, your chances of having better luck than me is high after dining here.

My first time in Nashville a this was a recommendation from a friend…I walk inside the establishment an was greeted right away with a warm welcome and got seated right away…the waitress was very nice and informal about the menu…so I ordered the quesadillas with pulled pork and it was very juicy….the music selection was great in the store….i will definitely be back again for the rest of the menu…..

Food was amazing! The food was amazing but the service was even better! I got 3 different tacos; the pork belly, barbacoa and the seasonal peach chicken as well! All were fantastic and the chunks of pork belly were huge! The freshness of the shells were unmatched. For sure will will come back again. The salsa was super fresh and also smoky as well and the guacamole was smooth and chunky as well! For sure will make a trip back! Also the margarita with the coconut made for a creamy and tasty combo!

I needed to get away from work and came here.
Tucked in a strip mall this kick ass joint serves really good grub for a hangry employee out for an hour.
Chips and salsa, standard fare, with an amazing house made salsa upping the chip and dip game.
I ordered the Burrito with Hot Chicken. Yum. Fresh, hot, quality ingredients with a twist on traditional burritos.
Great service but, alas, my tiny brain forgot her name…. lunch on a weekday…. I hope they know who she is, she was on her game.
Here’s the Breakdown:
Cool interior vibe +1 star; great salsa +1 star; excellent service +1 star; good burrito +1 star; margarita and beer options +1 star.
I would, 100%, go back.

We stopped in at Pancho and Lefty’s and had a solid experience overall. The highlight for us was definitely margaritas—we ordered one frozen and one on the rocks. As the photos show, the frozen version came in a much larger glass, but both drinks were equally delicious, perfectly balanced with a salty rim and fresh lime garnish.
We also ordered chips with queso and salsa, and they did not disappoint. The chips tasted freshly made, light and crispy. The queso was rich and creamy, topped with chopped tomatoes and herbs for a fresh kick, while the salsa had a smoky depth of flavor that felt house-made and thoughtfully crafted.
We sat at the bar, which could have used a little tidying, but the bartender was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual—great for happy hour or a quick bite.
A heads up: the parking lot is small, so you may need to grab a spot on the street.
All in all, great drinks, tasty food, and chill vibes. We’ll be back!

The salsa verde was truly something unique and the flavor was outstanding! It was one of those that make you run home and look for a recipe because your hooked but don’t live nearby. The waiter was super friendly. Great variety in trendy taco options.

It was our first time visiting this location and we were not disappointed. We started with chips, salsa, and queso. For entrees, we ordered the crunch wrap, fajita salad, and a variety of the tacos. It was all delicious!
The atmosphere here is really nice as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Pancho and Lefty’s Cantina is a lovely place to eat. The sweet potato and deep fried avocado tacos are out of this world! The fried avocado was the best, very flavorful with just the right amount of heat.
