    What a great idea to make birria ramen. Delicious broth, tender meat. If only real ramen noodles were used instead of cup noodles. Tacos were also pretty good, cucumbers and radishes go very well with grilled taco shells. They just need a little bit more cilantro, perhaps?

    Finished my second visit to Birria Babe this weekend (finally trying the birria tacos). Must say, both visits on point. My other favorite place for birria tacos, if you can't find Nadine and crew, is Family Tacos on West Charlotte. This is a small food truck that packs big flavors. I, stupidly, forgot to get a picture of the taco trio (beef, lamb, and chicken), but I did find one of my ramen and a friend's taco from October 11th (both times at New Height Brewery). Food? Very nice flavors. Consume is nice. The small side of pickled veggies and lime top everything off nicely. Of the three, I liked the lamb the best and will opt for the lamb trio (extra $4) in the future. Ramen is also very good, although I wonder how it would be with non-packaged ramen noods (if you want to do it at home, add baking soda to Italian pasta, as alcolizing is the trick - you're welcome: check back here for more helpful hints?). Since I pretty much finish every review this way (except the train wrecks?). Will I return? Yes, wholeheartedly. Love Chef Nadine Moore and her creations. Limited menu? Sure, but limited is not a bad thing when you do it well. NOTE: Menu limited enough, these two pictures are fairly representative. But, limited does not mean bad ... in this case it means awesome (insert gif of cartoon yelling "awesome" here). For those asking, you can look up where the Birria Babe truck is on Facebook. Breweries are common spots and she seems to get out to New Heights a couple of times a month, at minimum. Have also seen the truck setting up at Living Waters on Trinity Lane.

    Trio of tacos

    Wow, wow, wow! I don't think I have enough positive things to say about this place. From the cashier to the food itself to the owner, everyone and everything was top tier! My boyfriend and I are in town from Chicago and stumbled on this place via Yelp and we are big fans of birria so decided to check it out. It's inside Cyanide Cider and is a a tiny spot but very vibrant area and welcoming. The cashier was super friendly and had suggestions. We decided to share the trio, the ramen, and the birria pizza special. They didn't disappoint! The trio consisted of one of each: chicken, lamb, and beef. To my surprise the lamb was my favorite. These were the best birria tacos I've ever had, even in Chicago!!! They came with consume and a few sauces including this mild avocado sauce that I devoured! The slices of cucumbers included were a nice refreshing touch. The birria ramen was also delicious and filling. The birria pizza was creative and good as well. A bit too much cheese but still delicious. The cashier came after the meal to see how we liked her recommendations and check on our experience, it was a nice touch. A little bit later the owner herself stopped by. She was originally from Chicago herself and we chatted about that. We discussed our meal and our experience and she was absolutely elated and beyond grateful that we had such a wonderful experience. I mentioned to her how much I loved the avocado sauce and she ended up giving me two containers on the house to take with me. I'll definitely be back here the next time I'm in Nashville and I can only hope she expands to Chicago one day!

    This is somewhere over near the cemetery off of Chestnut Street.

    BOMB! BOMB! BOMB! You really have had to have your taste buds jacked up from having covid to not like this food! This woman is trying to get extra husbands with this food! I really wanted to take some cornbread and dipped it in the leftover broth from the noodles! Not to mention I only have one taco. I wish I had more! She needed to be slapped that taco was so good! And I definitely want to try the lamb Taco next time! And for you all the sudden I'm allergic to gluten and can only eat vegan gluten free type people... She has vegetarian or either vegan items on the menu as well.

    Birria Trio: Chicken, Beef, Goat

    A burst of great flavors from the food at Birria Babe tacos! I was searching for good birria tacos in Nashville and saw that Birria Babe Tacos was going to have their food truck at Living Waters Brewery one night so I went there. They are a food truck so they travel around, but they post their schedule on their website and they go all over Nashville. Good food and very friendly staff. The Birria ramen is unique and I was definitely skeptical about it, but it was really good. The soup base is the meaty birria soup and they give you a spice packet to make it spicy. It has birria, ramen, and cheese on top - definitely an interesting combo. For the tacos, I tried the trio: chicken, beef, and goat and I recommend getting this to try all the meats! It comes with consume which is what you use to dip the tacos in for extra flavor. The meat was juicy and loaded with flavors. During this time, they were out of the Birria fries, which I cannot wait to try another time.

    They had me at birria. They kept me with the food. Tried this truck at a special event and let me tell you I will follow it so I can try more in the future. The staff was very friendly and even though they had a crowd they had an efficient ordering system. The tacos and consome were definitely worth the (limited) wait!

    The place it's currently located in is nice and very welcoming, a great place to go and hang out with some friend. The food, there is really nothing good to say about it, as someone who have try real birria taco, I could only call this an expensive imitation, the meat was not season well, the shell was hard as an rock and the salsa is no where traditional. If you are looking for an real birria experience, avoid this place at all cost, but if you want somewhere to chill, maybe check it out

    Best birria tacos in Nashville! Super friendly staff and we love that she has this location. Atmosphere is great and clean with good Ciders at Cyanode as well!

    Crispy Meat Trio of Tacos
    Tim G.

    Overflowing with flavor! Wow! Birria Babe food truck is top notch. Super flavorful with great ingredients and very friendly service with a big smile. I had the Crispy Meat Trio of tacos, which includes one taco with each of the meat options (chicken, beef, and lamb). They were all exceptional. I think the beef was my favorite in terms of overall flavor, but all three were really tasty. Oh, and these are crispy tacos, but don't let that fool you. They aren't those packaged hard shell tacos that crack in half as soon as you take one bite. They are soft tortillas that are made crispy, I assume by frying in a skillet. So these are like soft tacos that are a little crispy when you bite into them. My wife had a trio of soft tacos with chicken, which were also excellent and very flavorful. All of the tacos have just a little bit of spicy to them, which was fantastic. They also have a green sauce (tomatillo, I'm guessing?) that is tasty, and an orange sauce that has more spice to it. The little food truck is adorable and cute, by the way. It is actually a trailer rather than a proper food truck, so it is really small, but it delivers very big flavor! Let me add this: The food truck is still outside right now, and the tacos were so good that even though I'm full I am super tempted to go back out and get another order!

    We were the lady customers of the night and received service like we were the first. We were greeted with smiles and explanations of the menu's items and apologies for being out of the Goat Birria option. You walk up to a good truck right before close, you know it's a chance they're out of something, so it was really nice how kind they were about it. The tacos themselves were absolutely amazing. Perfectly seasoned and juicy chicken. The taco was so good I really didn't even need to dip it. But when I did the broth did not disappoint at all. The Ramen... ummm.... look its so good and such a different experience that you've really just got to do yourself a favor and try it.

    Crispy meat trio
    Sasha G.

    TL;DR: Yes Yes Yes Food: Had the crispy meat trio; one of each - lamb, beef, and chicken and each bite was better than the last. I had just completed 50 minutes of HIIT and the only thing that could bring me back to life were these flavorful tacos dipped in consume hitting my mouth. Service: extremely friendly, even apologetic that they were out of the ramen, even though I ordered after 50 other people! Vibes: people who love food making food for people who love food.

    I still dream about these tacos. I got the regular beef birria tacos. I am not a big cheese lover so I asked for light cheese and they were very accommodating. Super fresh ingredients and great portion size! The consume had a great flavor with a hint of cinnamon but it complimented the beef well. I loved the crunchy exterior with the juicy meat inside. My sister got the trio with chicken, beef, and goat. She was very surprised by how much she loved the goat over the chicken and beef. The truck was easy to find and everyone was so friendly. I will definitely try it again if I'm back in town.

    Food trucks are so overpriced these days but these were decently priced, tasted amazing and filling. I tried them at the 12 South Farmer's Market. Surprisingly there wasn't a long for the truck. I originally ordered the soft shelf quesatacos but Nadine (the owner) recommended I go crispy so that's what I ended up going with. It was about a 20 minute wait which seemed pretty long for a food truck that wasn't very busy. It was well worth the wait. Each taco had a very generous amount of shredded chicken which was very flavorful. The shells were also PACKED with flavor. They were not hard shells like I expected which I ordered the crispy version so I am not sure how the soft shell tacos would compare.

There were fans blowing which was nice for a hot day. The patio is completely shaded and there are lots of seats both inside and out. Jaime was our waitress and she was outstanding! She made us feel welcome and was attentive throughout our meal. One of my favorite things waiters do is bring out another drink before the first one is done. Those waiters are a dime a dozen and Jaime came back with a refill when my first cup was half full. My husband ordered a pizza and I ordered the blueberry chicken sandwich. I think that was the first time in my entire life that I ordered a sandwich at a restaurant and holy moly, am I glad that was my first! The bread was crispy on the outside and had a nice sponginess on the inside. The pesto and blueberry combination was so delicious and unique. My husband's pizza was really good, too. He kept stealing my fries (rightfully so, I could order an entire bowl of those by themselves). The sweet tea was comforting and my husband's IPA was smooth (I had taken a pain reliever prior to lunch so I only had a small sip). I want to come back for drinks on the patio again because his beer tasted great. TennFold Brewing is awesome and was definitely the best choice for our first few days in our new home state. We will be back for more delicious food and drinks!
