50 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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“One would find themselves walking through assembly food hall overwhelmed with the extensive option that be ( a play on powers that be) laying before them. In the history of great Mexican cuisine (which I am not familiar with) one would have to engage in extensive research, and perhaps palette evolution, to understand the complexities of this, or any, culinary art form. But today… we are satisfying a need to eat. We want to eat Mexican, and we
Want it to be satisfactory on level that we mustn’t have to convince ourselves of. This place does it right. You will not be disappointed, regretful, or longing for a timeline in which you had chosen something else. There is nothing else. Just ask Angie.“

“Yes.. You must try this food. Had the Birria grilled cheese.. I just woke up from food coma It was so good.“

“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“

“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.“

“Los camarones ala diabla súper delicioso“

“Great tacos and good customer service!“

“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.“

“Totally enjoyed our experience at Blanco’s. Food and service were excellent. Even manager Brandon stopped by the table and refilled my empty spicy margarita. The street corn is a must. Allison our server was amazing.“

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

“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.“

“great food...great service!“
