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

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

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

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

Tots, great. Burger, great. Crunchwrap (xmas), great. Fairly quick service, got it to go.

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. The cocktail I ordered was very well balanced and interesting. The service was straightforward. The places I love the most are the ones which are casual vibe but take their food very seriously. Would love to go back. read more

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

Went to this place based on a friend's rec not knowing they got a Michelin Bib Gourmand! Menu is limited, which is not a problem because you will not make a mistake with any of them! I got the X-Mas Style crunchwrap and I'm glad I did. The wrap was grilled to perfection and the filling was well balanced. We'll be back for sure! read more

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

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

Don't let the line out the door deter you. The food is worth every minute of the wait. I am a repeat offender and never gotten something I disliked. Today I tried the hamburger for the first time and wow! The soft bun, fresh toppings and unique combination of toppings really was good review worthy. The rest of the table had tacos and queso, can't go wrong. The patio is lovely on a warm day, and inside is so cute and eclectic. Add it to your east Nashville lunch spots! read more

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

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

What a cool must visit place right outside Nashville! Such a cool vibe and delicious food! Service was friendly and helpful with questions. Menu is on the wall and order at the counter. I got the tatchos and Frito pie. The tats were crispy and loaded with beans, cheese, sour cream. The Frito pie was full of Fritos, layered with melted cheese and chili- so yummy! I loved that they make their own tortillas in house, so next time, definitely getting a taco. read more

Redheaded Stranger - The perfect burger. - Tacos Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

If you're looking for a flavor bomb and explosion, this place is for you. All of the food I tried here was bursting with so much flavor where it was salty, sweet, spicy, with slight sour kicks. It was just the whole spectrum of flavors in your mouth. I highly recommend if you want just solid flavorful food. My favorite was the crunchwrap because there was the element of the crispy tortilla and the nice warm filling that was well balanced with meat and veggies. It is definitely the upscaled version of Taco Bell's crunchwrap. I don't think I could ever go back to eating Taco Bell's Crunchwrap after tasting this one. The other food items are good and solid but nothing extra ordinary. The only thing I will say is that their tortilla is actually one of the best flour tortillas Ive had. They are perfectly soft but also nice and chewy with a nice crispy crunch. I highly recommend any item with their tortilla. The reviews weren't lying about the tortillas here. read more

Very fun atmosphere. Walk up to counter to order. The drinks were really good and the menu was really fun. The Crunchwrap we order was the pulled pork and unfortunately it was very soggy. We had to eat it with a fork. The Frito pie was yummy and so were the loaded tots. Guacamole was top notch. read more

Red Headed Stranger is always a hit! For the first time this visit, I branched out and tried the No. 3 taco which was creamy and delicious with just a tiny kick from the jalapeño. The service is always good, and I've ever been here when it's been this busy with a line out the door - they move folks in as quickly as they possibly can. I highly recommend this spot for a great breakfast, which has a great look and feel to the décor. read more

My husband and I like trying places we haven't eaten based on reviews. We are from the Nashville area and lived here for a long time. The girl at the counter was very nice and helped guide us on the menu since it was our first time eating here. People.....there are sooooo many more Mexican themed restaurants in Nashville that are soooo much better. The margaritas were sad. The food was blah. The price we paid for food and margaritas was not worth it. I honestly don't understand how it gets some of the reviews it has gotten. Skip this place and go somewhere else. read more

Had some fabulous tacos today! they were so tasty I forgot to get some pics the roasted chicken taco was a sold choice. Stepped out and had the poblano crunchy rice taco and it was amazing! Our service was quick and friendly. The atom was perfect just that little neighborhood spot. First time in but will be back read more

Run, don't walk. Hidden gem on the east side of Nashville. Worth the ride and waiting in line. This is where regulars go. It's off the beaten path. You go in, place your order and they bring your order to your table. Staff members are super friendly and helpful. Menu is not extensive but totally delicious. Get the house pickles! I repeat, GET THE HOUSE PICKLES! The house pickles are a combination of vegetables (I had cauliflower, green beans, red onions) and very tasty. Also, get the queso dip! You can literally dip anything into it. It comes with the freshly made tortillas. Cheeseburger was good and an actually cheeseburger. I noticed that Nashville likes making smashburgers but this is an actual patty. Dipping it in the queso elevated it! Tacos were delicious. I got the chicken with refried beans and the brisket taco. There's a few different homemade hot sauces and you pick whichever you like. It's on the tables. Ambiance is a chill vibe. They have a full bar. Their frozen drinks are delicious! You can sit indoors or on their patio. It's beautifully lit up by the string lights at night. Very happy I discovered this local gem and will return when I visit Nashville again. Highly recommend! read more

I mean, where do I even start?! I've driven the four hours from Atlanta to Nashville more than a handful of times just to grab lunch at this place. I've been going here for about five years now, and the quality and taste of the food is exactly the same as the first time I had it. They've nailed the recipes down where no matter what day you go what time what year it's gonna taste the exact same way it did the last time you had it. The food's always fresh, always hot, and always delicious. The fresh tortillas are to die for! The last time I drove up, I ordered six burritos to take back home with me because they're just that good. I need to be able to have back up burritos when the time calls The staff here is always super friendly, super helpful and super polite. I've never had any issues with service or the staff. Atmosphere here is super eclectic, but very cool. It's like no matter where you look there's something else interesting to look at. By the time you get done looking around and enjoying the environment your food is already at the table. I mean, there's nothing on the menu here that's not delicious the burritos, the tacos, the hamburgers, the beverages, I mean, this place is a complete five star home run banger read more

We went early to combat the bad parking situation and lucked out with some close street parking. Hubby got the original crunchwrap and I had the chili cheeseburger.

We met some out of town friends here for dinner on a Monday, October 2024. On this chilly evening we decided to sit inside and enjoy all the fun Willie Nelson decor! Nice patio but no heaters. We ordered our food and it came in a timely manner. The servers were pleasant, the food was priced right and tasty. All I got was an order of Totchos but the ingredients mixed so well together I was really impressed. It had queso, black beans, lime crema and pickled red onions ( I eliminated the jalapeños). Delish! Everyone liked their orders. Fun place and we will return here! Parking is a bit tricky- there's a lot out front for a handful of cars, so plan on parking somewhere in the block but watch out for "Residents Only" signs. read more

Love their tacos and their frozen lemonade! So good together. They offer a Crunchwrap which I have had before but it's not my favorite item on the menu personally. Wait times can be high during lunch hours so keep that in mind and parking is limited in their lot but there is a paid lot across the street. This is good for groups though as they have tables inside and patio seating outside. read more

Get it delivered do havnt seen the inside.my favorite place in nashville.the best brisket around period. Tortillas are bomb.

What a hip taco joint! I have never been to this area in Nashville but found Redheaded Stranger while looking for some murals in the area. You order at the counter when you walk in, take a number and someone brings your food out to you. The inside is funky and fun and there is ample patio dining, which I would have liked better if it hadn't been a 100 degree day, so I sat inside. Lots of sauce options - I tried the green and red and both were great. And the ranch that came with my tots, I think that was the best ranch I've ever had! My food was good - I had the brisket taco with a Dr. Pepper hot sauce and the verde pork. They were both pretty good and I can't say I liked one over the other. Parking was kind of a pain. The lot was small and full and street parking appeared to be only for residents with a parking permit. There was paid public parking down the street at a church. Will definitely go back because I want to try the crunchwrap next! read more
