Taco Tuesdays in Cordova are about to enjoy a glow-up, thanks to a young Bartlett restaurant. Taco Prime is bringing its delicious authentic Mexican cuisine to a new area location, and hungry locals will be thrilled to hear that work is already underway.

 

Popular Instagram account @TownofCordovaTN shared the news of the restaurant’s upcoming location earlier today. Taco Prime will be moving into 180 S Germantown Parkway in the storefront that housed Guthrie’s until its closure in February of this year. 

 

The renovations necessary to transform the restaurant from chicken to tacos are already occurring; the post states that the building recently received a new coat of paint and that interior work is occurring. An opening timeline is not presently available, but this bodes well for Taco Prime opening in the not-too-distant future.

 

Taco Prime, founded and owned by Ingrid and Sergio Vilchis, is still a relative newcomer to the area dining scene. The concept opened its first location in Bartlett in September of last year. Speaking to Daily Memphian about bringing their authentic cuisine to the area, Ingrid Vilchis said: “We’ve always made tacos at home, authentic tacos with hand-made corn tortillas. So we’re bringing that flavor to Memphis .Just looking around, we couldn’t find an authentic taco that we like with good-quality meat. That was our dream a few years ago, and it finally came true.”

 

Tacos are, of course, the stars of the Taco Prime menu, however guests will also be able to choose from quesadillas, burritos, salads, and nachos. 

What Now Memphis has reached out to ownership and will update readers as details emerge.
