Of all the wall murals that Nashville boasts, none is more elegant, more filled with promise than the technicolor invitation sprawled across the walls of Carniceria y Taqueria Don Juan. The hand-painted menu is permanently set in gigantic text on the building’s exterior, with the roadside visibility necessary to catch the eyes of travelers along the busy stretch of Nolensville Pike. But diners who follow their intrigue a step further can enjoy one of the most satisfying and affordable meals available within city limits. With no dish breaching five bucks, Don Juan offers an assortment of tortas and other Mexican dishes loaded with generous portions of fresh veggies and any type of seasoned meat your fickle heart desires – ranging from chicken and pork to flavorful beef tongue and intestine. With its colorful introduction, unrivaled food and affordability, Don Juan is a vibrant charmer that lives up to its proverbial namesake. MATT FOX
