Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Food- good, not great. I had a fish burrito here and it was... Alright? But the queso here is so good and the nachos are amazing and huge. Service- lacking. The employees here look like they hate their lives. They're definitely not the friendliest. Atmosphere- bomb. This place has got a great vibe and fills a much needed Nashville late-night food hole. Live music upstairs was really the highlight of the evening.

Not the worst tacos, but not the best either. They are alright, and I'm guessing had I been drinking, these would be better. I tried a few tacos (al pastor, chicken, fish) and chips with salsa and guacamole. Chips/salsa/guac was good. Tacos are bland and not all that exciting. Even my sister, Stacey M., who had been on a hunger strike all day, was less than impressed. However, I would not turn away after a late night.

Almost passed by this place but decided to come back. I was with a party of 18 and this was the only place that could accommodate all of us. It is basically a custom taco type place only better (Chipotle or Qdoba like). The sweet tea was to die for. They have an elevator so it is handicapped accessible. We all went upstairs to listen to live music. It was so much fun. It can be slow during busy times but still was not too bad for wait times.

What a great late night spot! I won't admit was time of night (morning) we popped in here last weekend, but I will definitely need to go again during a typical meal time. :) Right when you walk in, it's obvious that you are in for a treat. There is music blasting, and the employees, busy cooking in the back are friendly and ready to serve you. The menu is posted about the counter - full of moderately priced, yummy tasting tacos, burritos and nachos. I ordered the nachos and my husband order the tacos (with ghost pepper habanero cheese!)... others in my group ordered a variety of items that they all thoroughly enjoyed. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the tables. Again, we were in there VERY late (early), so maybe they had been slammed up until we walked in - but I would have appreciated a quick table wipe down. Every tabletop in the place was filthy and we quickly wiped one down and ate. The food and music was too yummy to really focus on the tables. Nashville is desperately in need of some great late night quick food options, and this one certainly is that. I will definitely be back for some more of those nachos - and encourage you to do the same!

Got the burrito bowl. Rice was sticky, and we had to wait for the steak because the grill was cold. Annoying. The staff seemed very confused, and then unable to comprehend our order. They also charged my friend for tacos he didn't order.
(3)Tricia G.
We ate here twice on our trip to Nashville! The rice bowl, tacos, and guacamole were amazing. The chips that came with the guac were my favorite! Super crispy and salty. Plus, the free love music upstairs made the overall experience amazing. It can be a fast or slow dining experience. If you like Mexican and are near Broadway street, stop here!
(5)Violet P.
I would def agree with previous reviews comparing this to chipotle. It was very clean and you watch your entire order being made in front you. We ordered a chicken macho nacho and an order (3 tacos) of pork tacos. Both of which were very tasty and the nachos were huge!! I especially liked that for the nachos, the preparer pulled out 2 real chicken breasts and chopped it up. Real chicken breast, not something that was cut up earlier. We added a small side of rice to our order. Nothing special about it. In fact, it was pretty much plain white rice so skip that unless you're getting a bowl! There was a second level where there was a trio of guitar players singing. Pretty cool for a taco restaurant. A huge TV downstairs played the performance for those eating downstairs. They also have a small outdoor dining area. Check it out if you want a quick, filling meal.

The fish tacos are amazing!!! The sauce tastes great with the cheese. The breeding on the fish is crunchy and wonderful. Very pleasantly surprised, definitely recommended.
(5)Alyssa F.
Gross food, rude service, and the weakest margarita I've ever had. For $12 I got 3 bland veggie tacos and a frozen strawberry margarita, which I'm almost certain contained no alcohol whatsoever. The tacos just had black beans, pico, cilantro, and guacamole. All ingredients bland and cold. My friend from UK, who is visibly of drinking age and traveling internationally, attempted to order a beer and they wouldn't sell it to him because he didn't have his ID on him. They then wouldn't let me buy it either. I only give two stars because they were generous with the guacamole.
(2)Kay P.
Awesome food! The chicken tacos were delicious. I loved the fact that they took a chicken breast out and cut it in front of me showing me that I got a fair amount of meat.
(4)Katie Y.
We just moved from San Diego and were missing our mexican food so thought we would try it out. Def not as good as our San Diego tacos but it was surprisingly delicious. It reminded us of chipotle but with a better taste I guess. I got the mexican corn on the cob, others got carne asada tacos and chicken bowls. We all ate it all and thought everything tasted great. We will be back.
(4)Josiah K.
Food is good (not exceptional) though being Luke warm by the time it was served may have some to do with that. 5 beers on tap, none that I've heard of, so a description would have been helpful but instead they sold me a water to drink. No ice in the drink fountain took about 5 mins to get ice after we notified them of the situation. How ever plenty of seating. (Should have been my clue to find somewhere else eat.)
(2)Hall W.
If you combined Chipotle with a quasi bar and live music experience, you have this. Don't expect anything better than Chipotle quality food (though they seem to have some interesting - options IE: fish with your burritos and there is an upstairs bar. I also like how they have street tacos in additional to your run of the mill tacos. It is a little pricey, but understandable for downtown Nashville. Super friendly service and helpful service though!
(4)Greg S.
Really awesome burrito. Really fresh tasting. Service was great and prices are more than reasonable for the lower broadway area.

What not to expect... -A crazy, artisan, fresh and local ingredient taco place. -anything terribly expensive. It's friendly on the wallet. What to expect... -a standard taco and quesadilla bar, in a similar fashion as "Moe's." -Solid food. Not great, but not Taco Bell. I had a cod quesadilla, and added creamy avocado sauce on the side. Decent choice. Seems like the steak for anything is popular. -curious appetizers, like a queso stuffed jalapeño, as well as a crazy hot dog. -sweet vibes. Two floors, open window on the bottom, with everything expected, decked with wood and brick. They are talking of a bar and live music upstairs. It is a necessity to be in downtown nashville, but I imagine it being a louder sports bar on the weekends. I'm currently here on a Wednesday evening. -For now, it is super clean. I hope this trend continues. The takeaway... -I can't say I will ever be back. It isn't my style of place, and I have a bias against most everything that happens in downtown nashville. Too touristy, and not enough quality in my opinion. -If you are looking for a cool hangout with about 4 friends, some good beer, and most anything you'd find in a downtown Nashville food establishment, by all means, this is a choice location. -another hope of mine is that service becomes great. It's just starting, so I don't know the vibe, but I have a personal liking to involved and caring people for the customers. Love what you do. It is tacos, after all :D Edit: I like to factor in other things. I think the restaurant responding to my review in a positive light is reassuring for a desire to be good at what they do.

Not the worse tacos I've eaten but they weren't what I was expecting. Really didn't know what to expect. Actually I do know what I was expecting, I wanted fresh authentic tacos. The name has Street in it, so that pulled me in. I guess the idea is kind of like a chipotle, you go in, pick your meat and condiments. Mind you, I'm not a big fan of chipotle. I ordered 2 steak tacos, my friend ordered one. After about 10 minutes of the register not working and the manager giving us our meal for free we sat down. Thanks by the way, that was very nice. We started eating and the and the meat was cold, the condiments made it even colder and the salsa was not spicy. Maybe it's because we went in there super late, or maybe I'm spoiled over here in the Chi but the food didn't hit the spot. I do believe that this place has potential and if I'm ever in Nashville again I'll give it a second chance.
(2)Michele D.
We didn't plan to eat tacos when we stumbled upon Nashville Street Tacos but I'm glad that we did. I had a chicken and beef taco and my husband had the chicken quesadillas. They were really great! Just enough filling, but not to overwhelming and if I had been a bit more hungry I definitely would have ordered more. I really liked the space and the fast service. We were in and out in maybe 30 minutes and ready to move on to the bar scene on broadway. It definitely beat standing in a LONG line to have an overpriced dinner. I bet it can be hard to find a seat if it gets crowded but it's worth even taking your tacos to go and eating while you walk. Next time we're in Nashville we will definitely stop by again!
(4)Shelby D.
Fun place with good food. A little pricy for what I bought but it was still good. Went in middle of day and the vibe was cool because you can hear a the live music at the nearby restaurants. Food wasn't spectacular but it was good.

I had to run an errand downtown on my lunch hour and stopped at Nashville Street Tacos to grab takeout to bring back to the office. I got the Monster Chicken Tacos (but asked for soft corn tortillas instead of flour) and a chips and queso. Pros: 1. The chicken breast was grilled right in front of me, chopped up, and placed on my tacos. It was delicious! 2. The corn tortillas, avocado cream sauce, and jalapeno ranch were all really good! 3. The chips were freshly made, and I believe they were made from flour tortillas and not the traditional corn. They are different, but I think I decided they are different in a good way! Cons: 1. The rice was just plain white rice, straight out of a rice cooker....not sure if I caught them on an off day, but the menu says 'Cilantro Rice', so I expected a bit more. 2. The queso had a good flavor, but was like glue. It was too rich. 3. The salsas on the bar were lackluster, and the guacamole didn't look freshly made. I usually get guacamole with every Mexican meal, but decided to skip it based on the appearance. I think if I went back, I'd definitely get the chicken tacos again. I'd also want to try the street corn.
(3)Amie O.
I came here after running a half marathon, wanting something filling and a little salty. I bought the fried tortilla salad with steak, however, I am used to having more added to these types of meals. I tend to expect rice and beans in addition to this, but ultimately it was just a handful of lettuce, pico, some feta, some steak bits and a tablespoon of guacamole (an additional $1). While it wasn't bad tasting, I had expected more for the money. I ate it and went to go find more substantial feeling food,
(3)Dasha S.
Upstairs bar was the find of the night. Take yummy tacos upstairs. Awesome margaritas for $5 each! The band were fun. Great place to wind down or up!
(5)Mike T.
Don't let the name throw you. Not a street, not a taco. The best chipotle you've ever had with live music and booze specials. Glad we found this place. Hint... Go upstairs
(5)Samiyra V.
The customer service was terrible and they did not listen to the specifics of my order. I wanted to get nachos but with condiments on the side. They still but the meat on the chips. Then I ordered a steak quesadilla and they didn't ask if I wanted any condiments on it. Not what I wanted.
(1)Amy S.
Quick and friendly service. Good food at a good price. The nachos could have had more cheese but overall it was good.
(4)Sally G.
Good food and family friendly! I was happy to see other families (even up stairs). Unique taste to their food. Not chipotle if you're expecting chipotle then go to chipotle. We saw the amazing Jessica rose play. Couldn't be happier with both our experience with her and the staff here! We will be back!
(5)Carly B.
Avoid. Monster tacos deserve to be stripped of their title as their pathetically small size invokes only sadness for your poor hungry tummy. Cool location with awesome openable windows, but food doesn't deliver.
(1)Kristen S.
By far the worst taco I've had in years. The poor girl who took my order clearly had never eaten Mexican food either because she had no idea what a quesadilla is. The shredded beef on the taco was seasoned for barbecue, and way too salty. The rice was so undercooked it hurt to eat. The beans were made to be very spicy as a last ditch effort to save the batch, I can only assume. Not only will I NEVER go back, I feel it is my duty as a good American to tell everyone I meet to avoid this place like the plague! In addition to the bottom of the barrel cuisine, the entire restaurant was filthy. We had to clean off a table before we could sit and eat. A worker went into the storage closet next to our table, and was kind enough to leave it open when he was done so we could take in the ambiance of their dirty mops.
(1)Annie L.
Blech. I feel a little spoiled from establishments like Chipotle or Moe's that actually hook it up on the filling. I asked for extra veggies and their "extra" veggies is a little sprinkle of more lettuce, a little sprinkle of more cabbage. That's it. Flavor leaves more to be desired. Salsa bar is okay. A homeless man came in while we were eating and was trying to get us to buy him tacos.
(2)Bill R.
Get the CARNE ASADA Breakfast Burro! Side is with chips and guac w/ a side of queso. Use your chip to scoop guac and queso on every bite of the Burrito. THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY!!!
(4)Cory C.
I travel a lot for work, a lotttt. If you want Chipotle go there. Great burritos, chips are delicious, open windows and good music. Staff was friendly, an all around a solid experience. This place was great for lunch on this fall day.
(5)Melissa B.
Okay I was so excited about a new taco place downtown ever since SACO left downtown location and closed... I am a taco lover.... especially authentic hispanic tacos that I get at the food trucks throughout town... The inside....gorgeous....they spent some serious pecos on the renovation... but well done.. Beautiful..Love Love Love the interior.. Service was fast.. it was 11:30 and no one really in there....I was a little surprised... bet they were swamped last week during CMA week....location is awesome! The employees were friendly and patient while I made my decision. I decided on 2 street tacos.. one beef and one chicken....I told them do typical or standard toppings.... well they are a little sparse with the cheese, onions, cilantro and tons of cabbage....too much cabbage... CON: one size drink cups over priced....and wish they were Styrofoam... better for ice retaining... too costly for the drinks... CON: just not crazy about the flavor of the meat and seasoning.. sort of bland.. Pico is good and love the salsa choices... I will definitely try again before I rule them out...
(3)Anthony A.
Clean ,young, friendly. I was not overwhelm by country music. That's good. For the most part the food looked fresh. Good options good prices. The big let down was the salsa!!! No flavor all 3 tasted the same and had about the same heat 0 yes ZERO. Up your salsa game guys this is where you can really shine. You'll get more stars.
(3)Carmen P.
i love tacos. and burritos. and chips and salsa. and guacamole. basically, anything inspired by countries south of our border. the hubs and i had a downtown walkabout after comicon, and decided to pop on in here. i mean, tacos. that's all i needed to know. the husband, knew since before he was my husband, the only thing he really needed to woo me with was an awesome burrito. but not the nasty taco bell kind. our relationship would have ended if he tried to woo me with taco bell. we dodged questionable stains on the sidewalk, skipped over puddles of liquids i shall not mention, and shot the breeze with the folks in between living arrangements on our way here from the convention center. this is one of those places like moe's--where you build your own burrito via verbal coaching...except this place is like a biker bar version of moe's. i come here when i feel awesome, i go to moe's when i feel like june cleaver. maybe i'd come here if felt like a bored june cleaver..... anyhow, the meat is fresh, they grill it up behind the counter and then dice it and put it in your meal. none of that fake pink-goo chicken crap. this actually came from a real chicken. like cluck cluck...not a fraken-chicken like mcdonalds and taco bell uses. the veggies are fresh. we were upstairs when they were preparing/cutting peppers and onions, so we KNOW it's fresh. you should go here, you won't be disappointed. EDIT! EDIT! I forgot to mention the glory that is the chips and guacamole. the chips, they aren't just any chips, I think they are made from tortillas created by the hands of Mary...(the one from the bible) (not Jesus' mom Mary) (that's blasphemous), the other mary. And the guacamole - i picture each avacado celebrating as it discovers it was purchased by NST, to go down infamy as THE GUACAMOLE.
(4)Keith G.
Follow-up review: The food is much fresher now. Menu options are much more expanded as well. It's been an excellent replacement for the closed SatCo downtown!
(4)Ryan P.
Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday during Comic Con, and it was very tasty. Wife and I like fresh foods, and though its a build a burrito style place, the fact that the ingredients are fresh, high quality, and tasty made it a plus. We ate upstairs and liked the feel and atmosphere of the place. Wouls be interesting to see how the bar is in the evening and the wife an I may try soon and see.
(5)Kelly C.
Ate here on a whim while walking around downtown. I had two tacos as a combo with rice and black beans, which is more than I wanted to pay for small corn tacos. The chicken taco was pretty plain, but wasn't terrible. The shredded beef taco had amazing flavor! The rice was dry and had a strange texture as it had obviously been reconstituted a time or two. The beans were fantastic, as was the mild salsa at the bar.
(3)James M.
This little spot on 2nd Ave is OK but not great. They're pretty new so maybe they're improving on some things. Pros: Good value, portion sizes, and an interesting-looking menu. Cons: The flavor of the meats was lacking and the spicy salsa was way too garlicky. Everything sounded super interesting and flavorful but lacked in results. This place has potential to be a great break from the typical in the area but for now, it's missing something.
(3)Meredith B.
We recently had a large team lunch at Nashville Street Tacos and it was wonderful. We had a beef and chicken taco bar set up for us with all the toppings in the upstairs space. The staff was VERY helpful and courteous and even let us store some items there overnight. They had everything set up and ready for us when we arrived and kept the serving station full. They even went above and beyond to fix a mistake on my bill. Delicious, fresh, and healthy food, great staff, and excellent customer service is a win in my book! Thank you, Nashville Street Tacos.
(5)Esther F.
I had the fish fried cod tacos with everything....the swervice was excellent....the tacos delish except i qish they were not breaded and the one on corn tortilla was better than the flour...there was live prefoance and that was awesome...the ice was crushed and the saucea fresh ....overal the price was less than 7
(4)Don I.
The food here is good, but not spectacular, not that you can do a whole lot with tacos and burritos. I didn't think my shredded steak burrito was a filling as those I've had at Chipotle, but in some ways it tasted better.
