47 Best Taco Restaurants in Nashville

“Velvet Taco has great tasting flavor combinations, But… the tortillas are cold grocery store type. I ended up just eating the inside of my tacos with chips because the tortillas reminded me of playdoh… change the tortillas to a more authentic (cooked) tortilla and it’ll be sooo much better!!“

“Nijah was my server. very nice and helpful individual with manners and the kind of attitude that accommodates the customer.“

“ANNIKA S was such a sweet server! She treated us as if we were her only table and did a great job explaining different menu options.“

“Hands down the best taco I’ve ever had the, #7 with brisket was unbelievably GOOD. We Will be back every trip we make to B’ham! Also, it’s really priced reasonable too!“

“We are at BarTaco Nashville in 12South and while I’ve been there many many times, tonight was my husbands first time. He has a lemon&lime allergy. When we alerted the waiter of this to make sure we weren’t ordering something with them in it, he confirmed a couple items we planned to order would need to be mine since they had lime. Then 2 separate managers came to our table to double check the allergy and need. Primarily to confirm tacos ordered where some ingredients also had lime. They were so attentive and made sure that his food came out on a separate plate with no lime or lime garnish. So incredibly impressive how much they cared his experience was healthy and positive. Much thanks to the staff at 12South for superb customer service and care!!“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“The East Nashville location is the heart of the operation and part of its charm. The space feels rustic and lived-in, the kind of place where the food—and the people—are the real stars. The service is consistently friendly and genuinely fantastic, adding to the relaxed, neighborhood feel that visitors love. If you’re able, Connie and I strongly recommend finding a seat at the bar and ordering from there. It’s the best way to settle in and soak in the experience and enjoy the hospitality up close.
When it comes to the food, Mas Tacos Por Favor punches far above its weight. The carne molina taco is, without question, the best taco I’ve had anywhere—rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The soups are equally impressive, slow-simmered and packed with comforting depth, and the black beans are outstanding, the kind of side dish you’ll keep thinking about long after the meal. Nothing here feels like an afterthought.“

“SUPERB FOOD!!!!! Savory tender birria beef!!!!! Tasty elote!!!“

“We visited for the first time this past Sunday (4/6/25). We were very impressed. The staff was very friendly, especially our sever, Lillian L. She took her time to review the menu with us. What great customer service. The food arrived very timely. It was excellent. We will be back.“

“Super tasty food truck! We tried the chicken taco and barbacoa taco. The meat was well-seasoned and freshly made. Another review said it was cash only, but I definitely paid with credit card today, so maybe that's a recent change. Service was friendly and quick. It's a great place to stop on the way back from the zoo!“

“Boyfriend and I came to Nashville for the first time for an airsoft tournament and only had the day, so this place checked all the boxes when it came to deciding what to eat and make the best of it. Was not a major fast food chain, their East truck happened to be close to where we were attending, offers low prices, and delicious food! After experiencing I’d note there’s also easy parking, a welcoming environment, fresh ingredients; I had carne asada fries and two chorizo tacos. 100 out of 10 would recommend.“

“Pie Town taco truck came to our American Legion Post 82 for a private event last night. I had a few tacos and the rice. Absolutely delicious. Great flavors. Friendly staff!“

“This 5 star review is full of heart ache. They're food is so good. But it has been 278 days since my last vegan tamale. I check the menu with the deepest of hopes that the tamales will be listed, but alas they are not. Why are they hoarding these beautiful things? WHYYYY!? I beseech thee to add the Tamales back to the menu and keep them on the menu as regular items. We are in dark times and the light of the tamales must shine thru!“

“Great food always get the lengua tacos,this time I tried the torta and it was really good!!“

“The Bajo bowl salad was Elite. So much energy. The Queso was emotionally supportive. I had to walk through a hunting trade show so I needed all the help I could get. I went saying I’m just grabbing something quick and suddenly I was scraping the bottom of the bowl. So satisfying. Zero notes. Would absolutely plan my day around eating here again.“

“the food is good and delicious“

“Very cool place with delicious food and friendly, helpful staff inside Nashville's Assembly Food Hall. In the multi story food hall, you can get gourmet grilled cheese, poke bowl, pizza, drinks and desserts... but the outstanding favorite for me is the delicious Chilangos!
Several varieties of tacos on the menu, and quesadillas with different meats or veggies, but you can't go wrong with los nachos! A heaping pile of tortilla chips layered with cheese sauce, verde salsa, pico de gallo, and your choice of meat. It is very filling and flavorful, with a medium degree of heat from the diced jalapeños in the mix.
Very friendly people delivering fast service. Even with a consistent line of people, I think my meal took 5 minutes or less to arrive. Also the Food Hall is an enjoyable environment to find seating inside or outside, in a quiet spot or in the midst of people mingling and visiting. The Assembly Hall offers a convenient spot for a variety of food choices, even if one person in your group loves Mexican food, like I do, and someone else wants to try authentic pizza, or an Asian meal, etc. An enclosed seating area with plenty of fresh air and a team of hardworking staff do a thorough job keeping the place clean!
Visit Chilangos for smiling faces and delicious Mexican food - then you'll be smiling too! 😉“

“Great tacos and good customer service!“

“Velvet Taco satisfied my need for tacos!
I appreciate how they have vegetarian options that are creative and delicious - if I have to eat one more mushroom or grilled veggie taco I will scream.
The Nashville Hot, Fried Cauliflower, and Paneer tacos are all delicious - my favorite was the cauliflower.
The nachos (sans brisket) are also tasty and I highly recommend adding guac - their guac is very good.
For 5 tacos, nachos, and elotes we spent less than $50 for a full dinner for 2. The food came out fast and you can take it to your desired seating within the food hall and enjoy.“

“These were some good tacos I’ve had in a while. My absolute favorite was the BBQ taco, it was packed with so much flavor and so juicy! The steak taco (tender) was good as well as the pollo (it was ok) but the BBQ taco was the highlight of the meal. I also ordered a asada quesadilla and it was delicious with the green sauce.I wish I was given more limes. The tortillas was dry but when you top it with the sauce everything came together.Very clean food truck! Was impressed on the cleanliness for it to be located outside a gas station. 9.2/10“

“This is my go-to spot when I’m on C concourse. I adore everyone who's ever been behind the bar, but Tsigereda this morning is a special delight! The breakfast tacos are just amazing (chorizo is my fave) and they are affordable as well…the perfect amount of food for me without feeling overstuffed or wasteful. Excellent Zing Zang Bloody Marys as well! You won’t regret stopping in if you need to kill some time and want to eat well.“

“Had an awesome time with friends. It was great really look forward to doing it again.“

“Unbelievable tacos inside Bar sovereign. Can't reccomend this food enough these guys kill it. Food came quick and everything was amazing. Got the sample box to try everything and I had to go back for more it was so good. 12/10 food and service.“

“Best quesadilla I've ever had!!!“

“I've traveled all over Mexico and I speak Spanish. When I found this place, I honestly felt like I was on the street in Aguascalientes or some place similar. Now be braced people. This is not what we think of when we go to Las Palmas or any other conventional Nashville Mexican restaurant. This place does NOT cater to gringos. It is 100% true Mexican and this is where the local Mexicans go to eat. Even the help doesn't speak English, so take your translator app. Seriously, for anyone that would like to know what it's REALLY like to eat in Mexico, this is the place. And the food is fantastic. There will be Mexican music playing on one end of the place and a Novela on the TV at the other end. The other customers will be Mexicans complete with their work clothes and straw western hats. I love it here and I promise that I'm going to be a regular customer.“

“My bash grew went to the market and discover taco chela we had the best shots ever bartender is a pro.“

“Los camarones ala diabla súper delicioso“

“Special food with fast service with outdoor dinning. Be sure try out all six places to get the full experience.“

“Pie Town taco truck came to our American Legion Post 82 for a private event last night. I had a few tacos and the rice. Absolutely delicious. Great flavors. Friendly staff!“

“It was my first time visiting the roof top last night and I was not disappointed! My amazing server Rachel really hit the spot with all of her recommendations! The view, the food, the drinks, and the service were impeccable. I cannot wait to check out Butchertown Hall!“

“It was good. There are two picnic tables in the sunoco parking lot. The food was good. Rice and beans were good. The only thing is the language barrier, so if you are bilingual, that's plus. But they still can understand you. Cash only.“
