    Unique experience with the cheeseburger taco. I thought it was great! Live music is good but sometimes a bit loud for a Mexican food vibe.

    Old fashioned

    This place, on 2nd Avenue was nice, quiet, and with great music. If Broadway is too loud or too busy for you, this is a place you will like. I did not try the food, but it looked good, and everyone there seemed to have been having a good time.

    They have amazingly talented entertainers here on Tuesday! I went with friends on a Tuesday and I was delighted to discover the musicians. My food was mediocre but I gather my friends enjoyed theirs since there were happy plates all around. The decor was rustic country bar so it was cool. The facility was pretty clean and it wasn't crowded. It's kinda on the side of Broadway which I thought was super cool bc you don't get distracted with the people on the street. Overall pretty fun spot for drinks. They totally have daily specials so it's within a budget.

    I'm pretty sure this is the one spot in Nashville that I've been to more than any other. It's not on Broadway, so it's typically pretty quiet. It gets busy, but, it's more "chill" than the big honky tonks. The tacos are great and the margaritas are amazing! The staff are always great as well and it's just an overall nice place to relax a bit... great happy hour specials as well.

    The food was ok. The margaritas were just ok. I went with a party of 5 and no one was really impressed with the food. It's not bad it's just ok. On a positive it's right off the strip and easy to get to. The lights on the street gives walking to the restaurant a nice atmosphere at night. Now I can say everyone we came across was really friendly and they did have live music. So it is a nice little spot to experience with a pretty good size bar.

    Skinny Margarita

    So I was wondering downtown Nashville on a Sunday afternoon. The sounds of the music as I came by caught my ear. I came in. Was only half full or so at the time. So I ordered a Skinny Margarita. The ambiance, music and amazing marg got me to text my wife and mother in law to leave their conference and come hang out and drink. It ended up with lots of margaritas, several scorpion shots and meeting new people!. We had an amazing time here. We did get the loaded nachos to eat. They were really good! But the good times we had were the best of the week there.

    Spicy chicken taco

    Popped by on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. There was a gentleman singing with his guitar and was taking requests. I ordered the spicy chicken taco and the strawberry sunset drink. Both were delicious. This is off of Broadway, so the sidewalks are not overcrowded and the music is not blaring.

    This place was okay for food but the drinks were awesome, specifically the coconut margarita. We stumbled upon this place because we were actually waiting for a reservation at a different place for breakfast food, so originally, we were only going to drink here and get an appetizer. We sat down and didn't have service for a while, but when we did, our waitress was nice and quick. I ordered the coconut margarita which was phenomenal. It had toasted coconut shavings on top and it has perfect blended consistency like a pina colada. The next drink I had was called La Playa, but I didn't care for it too much and wish I ordered another margarita. As for food, we ordered the chips, salsa, and guacamole, and these were so good. The guac was full of flavor and we loved that they include both red salsa and salsa verde with their appetizer. While waiting for our app, our other reservation contacted us, so we ended up just staying here for lunch, as well. I ordered a steak taco, ground beef taco, and a mahi-mahi taco, and quite honestly, I didn't love any of them. None of the meat had any flavor and the tortillas were eh (I like soft corn tortillas better). My steak was very fatty and bland, and the fish was hard and burnt that it tasted oddly like chicken to me. I had to have my husband try it, and he confirmed it was fish because he hates fish, but it still wasn't good. My husband ordered the bacon and egg burger and he enjoyed it. Funny thing is he mentioned the delicious bun being soft and good before ever mentioning the taste of the burger, though. The fries were delicious! Overall, I'd definitely try something else for food, or next time I would just stick to drinks and apps.

    Loved this place! Excellent street food. Great low prices. And free entertainment. Highly recommend you try the Cheeseburger Taco and the Bacon & Shrimp taco. Finger lick'n good. A good place to stop for a quick snack and refreshment, Who knows, you may stay awhile...

    The amazing Shelby Rae, bartender & all-around great human. Yes,  just met her, but you know people by the way they make you feel.

    Five star service at the bar. Nashville can be big and cold. Finding a place to make you feel like you're at home was completely unexpected. Thank you Shelby Rae and Cerveza Jacks. Great location near the river off Broadway, live music in the AM, a great bartender who gives excellent suggestions, a tight menu...what else could you need? I've been to about a dozen bars/restaurants on and near Broadway (Ole Red, Jimmy's, RTB, etc ) and this is the one that I am very likely to visit every time I'm back in Nashville... It's a sure thing if Shelby Rae is tending bar. Thank you for the great food and drinks.

    We stopped her on a quiet Monday afternoon for lunch. I LOVE Mexican food - and since I don't eat beef, I am a little hard to please. They did the job! We started with chips (house made), quac and salsa - OH MY GOD GOOOOOD! I had far too much of that though and only ordered one cauliflower taco - that was SO good! Wish I had room for more. It's a cool little place, with a neat vibe. Music was great, service rocked, drinks were alright. But the food, y'all..... yum!!!! Worth a visit.

    Carne Asada Fries

    These have to be the best Carné asada fries I've ever had. Had to come back for a second time while visiting Nashville Will not disappoint

    Great live music and huge wrap around bar with a local feel.

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back next time we're in Nashville!

Asada Tacos: Honestly, pretty bland. The meat was cooked well but it lacked any real flavor. Salmon: Nothing special. Didn't feel like high-grade fish. Pork Belly Tacos (The GOAT): Absolute life-changing Pork Belly. As someone who's eaten a lot of pork belly, this was easily the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for this. The Portion: Tacos come with rice and beans so the portions are very generous. You won't leave hungry. 4/5 stars. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that incredible Pork Belly. It carried the whole meal. Highly recommend for that dish alone!

Most of the disappointment came from the hostess, Emily. She seemed rushed the entire time--she took our drink order, but while we were still looking at the menu, she walked away. She came back briefly, then left again, making it hard for us to ask questions or get recommendations. Because of that, we didn't get any guidance on what to order. When the food arrived, mine was way too spicy for me to eat. Thankfully, another waiter stepped in and offered an alternative I might like, which I appreciated. Overall, the service felt rushed and inattentive, and the experience just wasn't enjoyable. I wouldn't go back.
