About 11 years ago, I was traveling in Europe with some girlfriends, and while in Paris we saw a restaurant called “Indiana Tex-Mex”.

Riiiight.

We didn’t even cross the street to look at the menu. Because, Mexican food in Paris? Where apparently they think Indiana might know about it?

PSSH!

I’m a Vandy grad who spent many an hour on the deck at SATCo. You just didn’t order right – their cheese dip with fresh tortillas? Heaven. Anything else I couldn’t tell you about b/c I never ordered it.

Oh – and whoever said O’Charley’s had good rolls has CLEARLY never been to the Cooker. Good rolls and the biggest cups of sweet tea ever!

Next time you travel somewhere you’ll have to ask for dining suggestions in advance!

Just had to chime in that you definitely want to eat at Las Palmas if you’re looking for Mexican food in Nashville!

Oh, if I only had the chance to elaborate on Big Mama’s apparently cast iron stomach, I would do so. But, sometimes even she oversteps her boundaries. However, I love her anyway—even if I do sometimes wonder if they switched babies on me at the hospital. She looks too much like me to deny her, however!

I too have had bad Mexican food in Georgia. Those poor people don’t know what they are missing. But they do rock some grits.

Ewwww. That’s like eating at Taco Bueno (which should be blown off the face of the earth, pronto). Uck.

I laughed out loud at the tube sock/legging/boot visual. HEE HEE HEE!!

First time commenter, and Native Nashvillian here (it’s a proper noun, ’cause there aren’t many of us left):

For the record…SatCo does not make my little-big Southern city proud. With so many great restaurants here in Nashvegas, I’m so sorry you guys ended up in one of the worst. Please don’t hold it against us!

Wow…I work at LifeWay and SATCO is one of the go-to places for my friends and I. Of course…according to my husband, I don’t have a discriminating palate. If it’s wrapped in a tortilla and has some salsa on the side – I call it Mexican.

My daughter works at Vanderbilt and has lived in Nashville for almost 5 years now and goes to Las Palmas at least, once sometimes twice and occasionally three times a week! Next time you are there, you must find them. They have several locations.
