Reviews for La San Marquena in Nashville, TN
Taco salad was GREAT! Had a small issue with our nachos, but they remade them and all was well! Will def be coming back!
Someone posted "Ignore the bad reviews", but I say NO! DON'T IGNORE them! If you value your hard earned money, then pay... attention here. First of all, I truly don't mean for this bad review to be damaging to their reputation, but only so that theywill hopefully improve and eventually will prosper. I just can't in good conscience recommend this place after my experiencethere, unless they improve. I agree with so many others that say the food is mediocre at best. Someone said it was the bestMexican food they've ever had, but I have to say it's actually the worst I've ever had, and I've eaten at many Mexicanrestaurants and spent time in non-tourist trap Mexican towns in Mexico and eaten authentic Mexican cooking straight from actualMexican ladies cooking for themselves and their families. Have you ever had a quesadilla that was watery (yes, watery andmushy!)? Well, I have and it came from this place. I knew something was amiss when I first opened the container at home andrealized the lettuce looked wilted and old, the cheese was not thoroughly melted, and the guacamole looked somewhat dark andold. Then... I saw the liquid in the bottom of the container under the quesadilla, yes liquid. So wet and mushy that we stuck itin the air fryer at home to try to finish cooking it, but even that didn't help it! The rice was also bland, and the beans sortof the consistency of oatmeal or grits, as someone else noted. Even the salsa was a bit bland tasting and the chips lackingsalt. Must have REALLY been an off night for them, because my experience was nothing like the positive reviews left for them. Itmore resembles the smattering of other negative reviews. I'm glad now my wife decided she didn't want anything or we'd have beenout double the money!! Yikes, my belly's actually starting to hurt some while writing this review! Hopefully no bad bacteria. Idon't think I'll ever look at quesadillas the same way again. ?????? Read more
Perla and family are wonderful hosts. The food is delicious with a made from scratch taste. Everything is good! So glad to have... this great, new place in the neighborhood. Try the Paloma! Read more
We had fajitas and nachos. The menu was a bit surprising because the was no standard Mexican fare selections by the way of... combination selections like tacos, burritos chimichangas with rice and beans, etc. The steak for the fajitas and nachos werevery well done and a bit tough and chewy. The salsa served with chips prior to the meal tasted canned and a bit flat too. Thestaff is very engaged and interested in your needs as well as eager to satisfy. We think they're worth another visit (or maybe afirst visit if you haven't tried already) and hopefully they'll tweak a few things that will elevate their food and restaurantover others in the area.

Disregard the bad reviews, this place is amazing (4.5???? in my book)! Their gorditas (al pastor/asada) are the best I've ever... had. Make sure to ask for the red (hot) and green (sweet) sauce, plus all the chips and salsa you can handle. Read more
Finally a great Mexican restaurant in the Priest Lake area. The food is good quality, reasonably priced and the staff is very... friendly. So far I have only ordered to-go and if a quesadilla is still good after being shut in a box for a drive home, thatspeaks volumes. There red salsa leaves a bit to be desired but that is the only critique I have. Ultimately, I'm glad to have aplace close to home to go for margaritas and shredded chicken tacos. Read more
I don't know where the people that rated 1, 2 or 3 stars were talking about. I have been eating there at least 3 times a week... and it is great! I can never eat all the food they give me. Service is friendly and given with a smile. Every order they servecomes with chips and salsa at no extra cost. I had the Nacho Supreme last time and it was by far the best I have ever hadanywhere. I love this place! Read more
I would have liked to give this a five-star rating but unfortunately it was a disappointment with our meal the salsa didn't seem... like it was fresh more like a canned product but what was disappointing was the meal I had a chili relleno with the beans andrice and there wasn't much of a taste it just seemed flat. I really enjoy Mexican food and there are many restaurants in thearea we just thought we'd give this one a try I don't think we'll make a special trip to go there soon. Read more
