At the heart of Nolensville Road’s vibrant food scene is a looming edifice dedicated to the finest in Mexican cuisine. Signaling passerbys with hand-painted menus on the exterior walls and a fresh garden around back, Carniceria y Taqueria Don Juan is required eating, starting with the torta sandwich. Meat of your choosing and a medley of ingredients are housed on an enormous fresh loaf of bread. With the green sauce and occasional dump of jalapeños that come with it, it’s a mighty contender for the best meal here that five bucks can buy.
