Enjoyed this place immensely. Fresh pressed tortillas, plenty of food for a modest price, and delicious. The crunchwraps are so good, one is plenty of food! But you can't pass the up the tortillas and queso, fresh, hot tortillas, so good! It's a little tight on space and if you aren't into a bustling, loud scene, may not be the place for you. But it was worth it. Would come back for sure. read more

We are from Oklahoma, saw this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try! We ordered: Green chile burger: this was the star of the show for me. I believe they made it on food network for this item. It was 9/10 from me! Very good. Brisket taco: I'll give this one a 7/10. It had a Dr.Pepper hot sauce that I just didn't love, so that could just be a personal issue. The brisket was super tender & had great flavor! Spiced tots: these were SO good. It came with a cilantro lime/jalapeno dill sauce that we literally licked clean. So so good. 10/10 Green chile pork crunch wrap: this one just wasn't my favorite. Our Crunchwrap seemed to be full of refried beans and very little meat. For $12 that was a slightly disappointing outcome. I'll give this one a 5.3/10 Tortillas and queso: this was basic but good. Would get again. read more

I think I waited too long to come here. This review went on a journey from a four to a two. I say this so that what comes next makes some sense. I remember the fanfare when it opened: the vibe, the neighborhood, the building. People were excited and those who are all in on Tex-Mex couldn't have been happier. I made a note to check it out but life lifed and I never made my way over. Fast forward (or, flashback) to early summer and I freed up for lunch. I was going to make the RS thing happen. Driving over, I was in a good mood. I really enjoy McFerrin Park and the block the restaurant is on (well, pretty much everything around it) has changed so much to almost be unrecognizable (iykyk). I parked, walked inside and... nothing. I wasn't welcomed, greeted or acknowledged. Not a great start but I was committed to this experience. No sooner did I re-commit than a regular walked in, walked in front of me (as I waited to order), chummed it up with the person behind the counter, and ordered. Not good. I probably should have left but... I didn't. I finally was acknowledged and was able to order. My long wait let me decide on what I wanted. I ordered heavy but at the time I was only eating once a day and I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours. I was hungry but my eyes were pretty big, too. I waited an appropriate amount of time, grabbed my food from behind where I posted up and left to drive home. Admittedly the food smelled great and as I prepared to eat, it looked great, too. I started with the OG (whipped feta crunchwrap with Fritos, pico, refried beans, hot sauce, and red beef chili; interesting but not my favorite) then moved on to the bacon taco (bacon, cheddar, eggs, and tots; yes, please) rounded the bases with the green chile crunchwrap (pork, queso, jack cheese, refried beans, hot sauce, and Fritos; my pick of my order), and topped off the meal with spiced tots. Full, I was pleased with my picks but in no hurry to rush back. I was sick that evening and for 3 days after. Maybe I ate too much (but I have pigged out early and often in my life; especially when I was paid to eat) but I don't think so. I was out of commission for 2 days of the 3. I experienced major gastro issues and obvious physical changes to my appearance. It got to the point of worry and contacting a medical provider. I was warned by the universe before the first bite hit my belly. I should have paid attention. I should have come years before. read more

There is absurdity to certain things in the world of cooking. One of them is taking a complete junk food and transforming it into something that is of upmost quality. Redheaded stranger nailed. That horrific artificial combination of obscure lab chemicals called Crunchwrap supreme from Taco Bell has been turned into something truly mind boggling and Redheaded Stranger deserves every bit of credit for pulling it off. The green chili pork inside of these cruchwraps is heavenly. The hand made tortillas are savory. The moment of biting into this absurd creation of humanity is a true realization of what it means to be satisfied, without having to feel any guilt about it. So, yes, Redheaded Stranger might just be Nashville's best restaurant. read more

Went on Monday around 11:30 and definitely beat the crowd so be prepared to wait. Parking was a little confusing, tiny lot and wasn't sure if we were actually able to park in the neighborhood or surrounding street parking but we ended up being fine. The inside is a cute little place with a lot of great decor. Casual ambiance that is well decorated and very warmed toned. You order at the counter here and they say your food takes about 20 minutes after you order and that's a good estimate. We got the green chile cheeseburger and the most popular Crunchwrap, pork green chile. The burger was really good, a classic smash burger, recommend getting the double though. The cheese is like a more liquid-y cheese with green chiles in and it complimented the burger well. The Crunchwrap was really good, however not as crispy as you might think. The service was appropriate for a casual restaurant. Wished they had some more options for sides or combos meals. Overall a good find and an interesting spot in Nashville. Would come again. Unique atmosphere that makes me want to come back with yummy food! Only canned drinks for soda available. Water station as well. read more

We heard about Redheaded Stranger from a coworker in another state that had seen it on The Food Network. Word was passed down to us and we decided to try it. Now, I should have read about the parking situation on Reddit before coming here because boy, is parking rough. You either have a few street parking options (in which neighbors get upset, rightfully so), or you fork up the $25 for paid parking across the street. Well, only paid parking was available and I wasn't about to get scammed. So, we decided to do pickup (which was not available for online ordering at the time due to how busy they were). My husband went in and waited about 45 minutes or so while I sat in the car, sitting pretty in the driver's seat in paid parking without actually paying. Loopholes. Now, if it weren't for the atrocious parking situation, Redhead Stranger is absolutely a 5 star joint. 10/10. However, if you're going to cook up some delicious grub and be so amazing that you're featured on The Food Network, at least get the parking figured out. I mean, they literally have a roped off section for people waiting to get inside as if it's some club. This is a popular hamburger spot and maybe they don't need a designated parking area, people WILL figure it out because it's just that good. Clearly, Redheaded Stranger is doing just fine without people like me griping about the parking. We ordered their popular Green Chile Cheeseburger and yes, you do need to order it. It doesn't look amazing when you open the wrapper but the flavor is all there! My husband hates on smash burgers but this? Oh. He loved this. We also ordered their totchos and the frito pie, which were both good, but the totchos being more memorable and more delicious. We also ordered a barbacoa taco and the brisket taco. Now, if I would have known how good that brisket taco was, I would have skipped paying for the frito pie and totchos and would have ordered a handful of the brisket tacos instead. The meat was so flavorful and melted perfectly into the homemade tortilla. Lord have mercy, that brisket paired with the green chile cheeseburger had me nearly acting like Meg Ryan. If you know, you know. I've also never seen my husband devour food like he did, which was the opposite of what I did. I savored every bite and saved some for later because I knew it'd be awhile before I'd ever attempt parking here again, which sucks...because the Redheaded Stranger is SO good. read more

Redheaded Stranger has a unique menu that stands out from the typical taco spot, and everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The flavors were creative, well-executed, and left me wanting to come back for more. Beyond the food, the staff was fantastic and the overall vibe of the restaurant was amazing. The next time I'm in Nashville, this will be one of my first stops. Whether you're visiting the city or just passing through, I highly recommend making time for a meal here! read more

Wow. Well, worth the wait on a Saturday afternoon. A lot of great options and the flour tortillas are being made fresh in front of everyone. It's a line as long as you can grab a drink from the bar and drink it while waiting in line. Would definitely go back. read more

What a gem in Nashville! I'm so glad i was able to try this spot on the last day of my trip. Their menu is simple but each item is packed with flavor. My favorite thing was the green chile cheeseburger, and their tacos are made with homemade tortillas! We did have to wait a little longer for 4 items than we would have expected, and the ordering system was a little funky (get a small laminated photo as your table identifier). Other than that, would definitely recommend! read more

what is endearing about Redheaded Stranger is that it has this lowkey feel even though it is extremely popular. For Nashville standards, you get a good meal at a reasonable price and the environment is inviting enough to sit a little longer to chat. The girl at the counter was very pleasant and my food was tasty. I really like the crispy rice in some of their tacos. read more

I'm grateful for the friends that I have who know what foods I enjoy and where we should dine. This adventure is brought to you by a place in #Nashville called Redheaded Stranger. They have a LOT of great options but I wanted #tacos. Two of the three chosen didn't have meat while the third contained a delicious pulled pork. My friend, Susan, had their version of a Crunchwrap. The food served here is out of control. It's super fresh and FULL of flavor, their tortillas are made on-site, and their salsas/hot sauces... oh man, the dark bottle was so good that I wanted to take shots of it. They were featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. The next time I come back, I'm absolutely eating food here again. read more

Best Tex-Mex I've ever had! I genuinely enjoyed every single thing we ordered. The Hibiscus Margarita is an absolute must have too. We've been here twice already, and I think there are only 3 or 4 menu items left for us to try! If I had to pick favorites, it would be the brisket taco, the Original Crunch Wrap, and the chorizo taco. Every bite is packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. If you're in Nashville, this spot is a must-try! read more

Decided to online order from the website. As someone who worked food service I know how much of a pain the DoorDash/Uber Eats thing can be. Pickup was fine, parking in the area is a premium but that's Nashville. We ordered four tacos, queso and a little cake dessert. Not only did they stiff us on a taco completely, but there was a massive hair in another. So our four taco meal turned into a two taco meal. And guess what? If you call, there is absolutely no response. Nothing. Just a Google Voice mailbox that leads nowhere. So to recap, I can't get any sort of reimbursement or credit on the taco we didn't get nor the hairy taco. Online orders are stapled up tight too so it's not like I can verify, I'm assuming someone messed up on the line but c'mon. Absolutely egregious service. So you know what, can't and won't recommend. Seriously, Nashville is glutton for overpriced tacos and if this is the service they're giving on their own online ordering system what's the point? Go to Oscars or Mas or anywhere else in East Nashville that at least can pretend to care. read more

Not impressed. Parking is tricky, park on the streets and walk. Ok if the weather is great. All food is wrapped in Aluminum Foil. Sweaty and soggy food... It could be a great place with some love and cleaning and a good manager who cared about customer service. Fun little neighborhood place coming soon. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. You have to order the Breakfast Burrito or the Crunchwrap! Everything is so good, and the tortillas are fresh. Food takes awhile to get because the tortillas are homemade, but it's well worth it!! The staff is always friendly, and the vibes in there are wonderful! Very quirky and funky. I always recommend this place to anyone looking for a bite in Nashville. read more

Redheaded Stranger - RHS SPECIALS - Tacos Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I found myself here on recommendation of a friend, with said friend, actually. It's a solid breakfast spot (for tacos & burritos). It's not much to look at from the street, same on the inside. In fact, parking is kind of a PITA too. But once you make it in and settle in, all is right with the world. The staff is friendly and eager to take your order. Food prep is quick and meals are brought to your table. One sticking point, however, was when I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary. The bartender informed me that the mix was pre-made so she couldn't make it spicy. A bit odd that she couldn't just add some Tabasco or muddle some jalapeño but alas... The food is really good. My breakfast burrito was HUGE, in fact (size and taste). And the tacos my friends had were also raved about. They do things right here. And the prices are reasonable to boot! If you're in Nashville and looking for someplace that feels like a hidden gem then give Redheaded Stranger a try! read more

Great neighborhood spot for a quick and easy bite with friends in town. Come for breakfast tacos in the morning or night-or a savory one in the morning. Whatever you like. Their tortillas are handmade which makes it very different from street tacos. My favorite is the Dr. Pepper sauce-add that to the brisket taco and it's a match made in heaven. Two tacos can get you ready for the day. Also, don't knock on the burger and tots until you try it out for being a taco place. To satisfy your cravings and not worry about calories-dip the green chile crusted cheeseburger in their homemade queso dip! No judgement-just happy belly vibes! read more

I don't know why my boyfriend waited to take me here for son long because it was WONDERFUL! I got the pickled veggies which were amazing and two tacos.

This was my first time coming and I'll definitely be back! There is a small parking lot, so you'll probably end up street parking. I went earlier on a Sunday morning and was able to find street parking easily, but I am assuming parking might be a little harder to find during busier hours. We got there when the line was short but it only got busier! The service was pretty good and staff was friendly. The coffee was good and worth mentioning, I got an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. The breakfast tacos were buss. I tried the #2, #7, and #9. They were all amazing. The chorizo was very good in the #2. The tots were perfectly crispy and nothing was too soggy! The vibes in the restaurant were chill and hip. Overall I definitely recommend this place and will be back hopefully soon to try the burgers! read more

First time eating here. Line was short when we arrived but still took awhile to get to the front and order. After ordering it took almost 30 minutes to get our food. Not sure if that is unusual here or not. It did not seem super busy. The food made up for the wait! One of the best burgers I've had- smash burger style, with perfectly crispy edges. Not so loaded up on extras that you don't know what you're eating. Delicious! We also got the crunch wrap which is also very good. I would have liked more crunch, though. The inside was gooey so that took over more than the crunch. It was still very enjoyable and I'd order it again! read more

Whenever I get a craving for tacos, this is my go-to. The 3,6, and 9 are my favorites! There will be a line out the door, but it's worth the wait and the margs come quickly. If your eyes are bigger than your stomach, they have a to-go station where you can easily pack up your leftovers. In fact, I have a chicken taco wrapped up in my fridge as I'm writing this! read more

Is it wet? YES. Me and my buddies wanted some good food to cure the Sunday scaries. Unfortunately everything was wet and sloppy. I got a burger and it looked like someone dumped a giant bucket of white paint on it. My buddy got a Crunchwrap and it was as orange as a traffic cone. My friend did enjoy his tater tots. I think this place has very good potential but the menu should change. Shoutout the lone star I got, I only needed 12 more to enjoy my burger. read more

Exciting combos and toppings on a taco that would be rare at a traditional Mexican restaurant which was the most alluring factor to trying this spot out and giving it a shot, unfortunately only canned beers and nothing on draft, but the most frustration of redheaded stranger was the 45 minute wait for 4 tacos in the poorly cooled indoor seating area that left no choice but to taco-go into the car and eat them which was not ideal. Friendly staff and super scrumdiddlyumptious though. read more

Redheaded Stranger - Single Cheeseburger - Tacos Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The first thing I will say is that the place is small so you do have to wait a lot. We came at 2pm and still had to wait in line outside, wait in line inside, and then wait a pretty long time for our food after we'd ordered. Just be prepared. However, the food here is SUPER affordable, the vibes are very laid back and artistic, and the staff is super chatty and sweet. Out of everything, I'd recommend going for the Crunchwraps. Unbelievable. The tacos are good too and I did love the tortillas because they're thick, doughy, and homemade. You literally see the cooks making them. But the tacos were less interesting. Here are my full thoughts: -Xmas Style Crunchwrap: 10/10 - So gooey and cheesy inside, with a lovely crispy layer of cheese on one side of the tortilla. The refried beans are creamy, and the whipped feta just adds a tanginess that takes everything to a whole new level. -Bacon egg and tater tot taco: 7/10 - Good, but didn't wow me. Nothing super special. I liked the texture of the egg with the tots but I felt like it needed more of a kick to it. -Brisket taco: 8/10 - SO flavorful. Literally every bite was a meaty flavor punch. My friend said she had some bites where the brisket was super chewy but I didn't have that problem. -Poblano and whipped feta taco (we added chicken): 7.5/10 - I LOVED the pairing of the feta and the poblano, but the fact that we had to add chicken to get protein was the downside. The side of chicken was hefty and moist, though. read more

Its a no-pretense, only good quality food place. The menu is well curated with the vegetarian taco being so sophisticated in taste, I would want to go again just to eat that.

I love bringing visitors to Redheaded Stranger, the handmade tortillas are so fun and delicious. I've tried the Crunchwrap a couple times, I wish it was crunchier. It can be very gloopy and messy, I wish it had some more structure and different textures. The tacos, tots, and vibes are all great! There can definitely be a long wait and parking is hard to come by, but if you've got some time it's worth checking out read more

Came here on a Tuesday nigh with friends. We waited in line outside while we waited to order. Despite the line wrapping around, I was grateful to see that it was a very short line inside. Nevertheless, it still took a while for us to order as the cashier was also the bartender. When my friends who were ahead of me ordered, each paid and then the cashier would make their drinks before taking care of the next customer. It seemed a bit inefficient to me, and meant that my friends who ordered first waited a while before I could join them since I was the last to order. When it was finally my turn, I had the prickly pear cocktail, No. 2 taco which had chorizo, scrambled eggs, sour cream and the X-Mas style crunch wrap which had pork green chile, red chile, Fritos, pico, queso, jack cheese, whipped feta, refried beans, and Dreamweaver sauce. I thought the food were well seasoned and that the Crunchwrap had the perfect crunch-to-soft ratio. The drink was also very good as it was well balanced and tasty. I also enjoyed getting to eat outside on their patio. Overall a good experience here, I just wish ordering had been more efficient. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Nashville. I hate repeat meals when I'm on vacation, but I can't help but come here multiple times, even on a short trip. The tortillas here are some of the best I've had and their salsas are so unique. The brisket taco is my favorite and I load it up with the curry salsa. I don't think they have anything bad on their menu, and you have to keep an eye out for what they have on special. They also have an AMAZING banana pudding. You'll see a line during lunch, but it's always worth the wait. read more
