   My friend came into town and I wanted to take him somewhere beautiful and delicious. MDLV was busy and I always love having reservations because you can just head right into the restaurants. I booked us seats at the Chef's Counter and I 100% recommend this for two or three people. It was so much fun watching them work. The food came out really fast! I was surprised by that. I was hoping there was a wait between all our apps and the main but we made due. What we ordered: Duck Carnitas Tacos- whole duck braised in Mexican Coca Cola, served in escabeche, vinegar arbol slaw, and salsa verde with a few pieces of avocado | This was a perfect first bite to start the meal. Serving comes with two so we each got one. I loved the salsa verde. Tuna tostada- avocado veneno, fried leeks, morita aioli | A bit too saucy for my taste. The tuna was good though. I could have done without ordering this one and probably won't get it next time. Quesabirria- American Wagyu, Monterey Jack, Cilantro, Onion, Taquera Salsa, and Consommé | Loved this one and we couldn't have eaten one each as it only comes one in an order. Calasparra Rice- Corn stock, butter, crea, achiote | I thought this was OK and wish we had ordered the elote off the cob. Milanesa- Chicken cutlet, tatemada salda, garlic potatoes, tortillas, argula salad | YUM! I loved this dish and would have been happy just eating this dish alone. Chicken was crispy and the right thinness. I love how it was prepared and the garlic potatoes were excellent!!! We wanted to finish off the entire dish. Tres Leches de Cafe- Espresso, Zabaglione de queso, almonds, topped with meringue | I thought it was OK. It wasn't moist enough. The meringue was wonderful and the meringue melted quite quickly so it should be served when it's confirmed the party is ready to eat dessert. Staff and service was excellent! Chef Julio also asked how we liked the meal! We had some aquita magica to end the evening and it was truly magical!

   I wish they had more vegetarian options and had veggie tacos but all my friends love what they got!

   Please go and go often! This is a gem of a restaurant! As Nashville has grown many of the restaurants have become very much one of a chain or corporate feel and have lost the local focus. The food is outstanding, the service is even better (and remarkably consistent), and the drinks are tasty and creative. Hats off!

   Everything we had was amazing. The duck mole was my favorite. The servers were incredible and explained everything so well.
