Visitor Testimonials (294)

2022 Food Truck Month, Part 3 We caught up with “Taco Chela” on the corner of Korean Veteran’s Boulevard and Rep. John Lewis Way, South in Nashville, Tennessee. Based upon what we observed, it would appear that they are putting down some (at least temporary) roots, so this location should be solid for the foreseeable future. The most noteworthy things from this visit include: *The contributions of the pineapple upon the “Pastor” tacos. *The contributions of the marinated flank steak upon the “Carne Asada” tacos. *The contributions of the chipotle creme upon the “Pollo Rojo” tacos. This place is worthy of another visit from Henry’s Take…and your first visit, as well. And that’s…Henry’s Take. #nashvillefoodtrucks

I stayed for 4 nights nearby and, even though I had dinner, I still couldn’t resist a nightcap taco or burrito! They were absolutely delicious!

10/10 loved the burrito . I definitely recommend if you want to go to a food truck . This place is a hit ! Never a miss

Wonderful service. The ceviche was one of the best I have ever had. Good selection of Tequila. Didn't really care for having to pay for chips and salsa but they were worth it. The art on the walls were beautiful. Food was good, a little over priced.
