I've been coming here since before 2020 when I was a vegetarian and I've always loved the food, margaritas, and atmosphere. Now that I'm an omnivore I fell in love with their chicken tinga tacos. To be fair, a $5-$6 taco is hard to justify, but whenever I'm in the area I'll grab at least 1 as a snack. I justify the price with how much they pack into their tacos as well as the inimitable flavor (at least in Nashville). Fair warning, don't drink here unless you have a DD or you know you can leave your car here overnight. Parking nearby is unpredictable and you will get towed/ booted/ ticketed if you're not careful. read more

Overall: I really liked this place for happy hour with my girlfriends! A little on the pricier side for tacos, but the drinks were pretty good (got a spritz myself). Service: Loved the bartender working, super nice and we got to try the Mexican Candy shots (so yum)! Ambience: Vibrant and colorful, I love that it's connected to the outside area of the Gulch. read more

I came here with a group of 6. We made a reservation ahead of time and were still charged an automatic 20% gratuity. The restaurant was also pretty empty when we went, which made the slow service even more frustrating. It took a long time to get drinks and food, and overall the experience just felt very disorganized. I ordered a kids cheese quesadilla with nothing extra, and it was $18 for a very basic quesadilla. Even Taco Bell adds jalapeño sauce to their quesadillas to make them more flavorful. Overall, I thought this place was mid at best. The patio is pretty, but for a higher-end Mexican restaurant, this is not the main option I would recommend in Nashville. There are definitely better restaurants that feel more worth it. I'd recommend Maíz De La Vida in the Gulch instead. The food and overall experience there are on another level. read more

The margaritas here are so so good. LOVED the rosemary margarita. Perfect place to come for a drink and app before venturing out for the night. Bartenders were attentive, poured a great drink and were super friendly. read more

Came here recently with a friend for drinks and light dinner. The interior is classy with TVs that were showing March Madness games while I was there. Lots of booth seating which I like a lot. The drinks were really good! We also got the queso blanco which was delicious and didn't feel heavy. The birria brisket quesadilla was okay. I've definitely had better, more full quesadillas. A little pricey also, but their happy hour deals looked good, wish we went during happy hour. Overall: cute Mexican restaurant with good drinks and decent food that is worth a happy hour visit read more

I've been to Saint Anejo only for dinner, so I was shocked to hear that they have brunch! And oh my gosh, I will definitely be back! I had the birria and shrimp tacos, which are always delicious! But then I added the Horchata French toast...And my life is forever changed! The Paloma and Coconut marg were also delish! I asked the bartender to put on the Kentucky Derby and she was happy to accommodate! Thanks girl ‍ read more

Saint Añejo - Horchata French Toast - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Fun team dinner! We had the upstairs which was absolutely lovely and well-decorated. Our bartenders were friendly and hilarious-- we had an excellent time with them. The food was very good as well, especially the appetizers handed out at the beginning. It was funny because no one was really sitting down, everyone was up and roaming. But it was a great time! read more

Came here on a weekday afternoon with a friend to enjoy the sunny weather on their patio. I liked the vibe of the place but the rest I could do without. When we arrived, there was a small wait before we were seated despite the place not being packed. They had readily available outside seating and which was great. as soon as we sat down, we ordered a pitcher of margaritas to share and we found that the pitcher was fine. truly nothing out of the ordinary and I have definitely had better margaritas in Nashville. We also ordered chips and guac and oddly these came out in two separate trips though our waiter didn't mention this to us. after he brought the chips, we had to flag him down to make sure the guac was still on the way and he gave us a bit of an attitude in response which I didn't love. when the guac finally arrived, we'd already eaten half the chips but we didn't have to ask for more since the initial portion of chips was rather big. the guacamole itself though was bland and under salted, just such so disappointing given guac is hard to mess up. Wish we had gone with the queso honestly. I also got the shrimp and the mahi tacos. I though the shrimp tacos were pretty forgettable. Meanwhile the mahi tacos were pretty good, as the mahi was well cooked and dressed with some delicious chipotle mayo. I think it was probably the best thing I had, but that's not really saying much given the rest of the meal. In all, I enjoyed the patio and see why people come here, but the food and drinks were lacking. Will likely not be back. read more

Saint Añejo - Mahi and shrimp tacos - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Fun spot to go if you're in town for a bachelor or bachelorette or just a group trip in general! It always has room and their brunch is better than their dinner in my opinion. The portion sizes are large. You could even go for just drinks and it's a good time. read more

Came here for Cinco de Mayo after hearing good things and honestly it was such a disappointing start to our Nashville trip. The entire restaurant had a club vibe with super loud EDM music blasting from the DJ instead of anything festive or fun for Cinco. You could literally see people around us looking annoyed and struggling to have conversations. The food was even worse. I ordered the nachos and they were almost inedible. Chips tasted stale and rubbery somehow, and the brisket on top was cold, dry, and so hard it was difficult to chew. My husband ordered the red snapper and it came out completely overcooked. Even the rice was bad. Since this was our first restaurant stop in Nashville, we genuinely left worried that all the food here was going to be like this. Thankfully we found much better spots afterward, but this place was a huge letdown. read more

Super nice Mexican place in Nashville. For an absolutely dead day, for lunch, service was surprisingly absent. I did enjoy the Pork Belly Tacos - mango-guava / chicharrones / cilantro and the place itself is gorgeous. read more

We were craving Mexican food as we are from Cali and decided to pop in here during our trip to Nashville. We sat at the bar as it had no wait and it was just open seating. We were served promptly by 1 bartender. She was good at first we thought, but we never saw her again. When we wanted to order more drinks and food, it took us quite a while to flag someone else down. I ordered fish tacos and they came out in a timely manner and tasted great! The sad part was the 1st girl who took our order poured me a proper shot. The 2nd person who poured gave me like half a shot. We both ordered shots and 1 was obviously not full, not sure why that happened. I might recommend if in Nashville. Tbh there's not many Mex places that I was seeing in Downtown Nashville, so this one was a good location for us. The inside is cute. read more

Cannot beat this location! Atmosphere vibes are 100! Really like the decor & optional indoor to outdoor seating. I'm a patio girl every time. We sat at the outside bar which was really for idea with how crowded it was on a Saturday night. Service was super chill & attentive Food & Drinks were really good. Birria Pizza could use more flavor & spice - We had a few people order different thins and no one has issues. Think a small group is best here but date night for sure. read more

Saint Añejo - Chicken Fajitas - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The atmosphere of this restaurant is perfect. On a beautiful day the open air design is great for lots of natural light coming in without it getting too hot. There are plenty of booths and bar spots, so there is a great seat for anyone who walks in. Their brunch drink specials are truly the highlight of this spot. The sangria blanca was light and refreshing, and their 2-for-1 drink special can't be beat. However, the food was a little lacking. The chips came out hot and fresh when we sat down, but both of the salsas were absent of spice or flavor and were quite small. The carne asada tacos were overcooked, but the birria was impeccable. The consume was delicious, the meat was perfectly cooked, and the cheese was melty. My side of rice and beans were kind of bland and a little on the colder side. I'd come back for their drink happy hour and their birria. read more

My tacos were awesome. They were made with some tasty components like avocado-serrano crema and chicharrones! The portions were good, too! I also enjoyed the margaritas, both the classic type (casa perfecta) and the ones with a little twist, like having lavender (jalisco flower)! The only misses I saw was that the furnishing needed updates; our booth seat was practically ripped in half with the stuffing coming out. We also asked our server for spicy salsa and she said they didn't make any. Bummer! Please consider making one, as your standard salsa is yummy and I'm sure a spicy version would kick ass! Staff were friendly and all in all, you'll have a good time here! read more

Saint Añejo - Tacos! Decently sized - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Stopped by here for lunch and drinks with some gal pals in a Saturday afternoon. They offered buy one, get one FREE on certain drinks, so I ordered Bloody Mary's and they tasted mediocre but were surprisingly strong regarding alcohol content (especially for the free one). The guacamole was delicious for an appetizer and the birria tacos were YUMMY!! Totally worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Saint Añejo - Side Medium Guacamole - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've been to Saint Añejo 3 or 4 times and it's just ok. The last time we went on a Friday around 7pm and although we made a reservation, they said we would have to wait for a table. We asked about the two 2 tops right in front that were open and they said they were available but they were hesitant to let us sit there for some reason. It was a little awkward, and we weren't being impolite but just wanted to grab a quick bite and be on our way. After we were seated, it took a while for the server to come to us so we ordered food and drinks all at once. The margarita I had was tasty but small. We ordered 5 tacos, 1 margarita and 1 beer and our bill was $94 before a tip. With all the Mexican restaurants around, I can't justify spending $100 just for some tacos and a beverage. Also taking off some points because it was uncomfortably freezing inside. I've given them enough tries and I probably won't be back. read more

Really disappointing experience overall, especially for Mother's Day weekend. We were excited to try Saint Anejo after hearing great things, but unfortunately everything from service to food quality missed the mark. We ordered brunch well before the cutoff, but after waiting around 90 minutes for food, we were then told items from our order were unavailable. Multiple tables seated after us received food before we did, including larger parties. When the food finally arrived, the chicken on my biscuit was burned and my husband's eggs were extremely undercooked. Our server actually acknowledged that the dishes shouldn't have come out looking that way, which we appreciated, but the management response was much less helpful. There also seemed to be very little staffing support for a holiday weekend. We had trouble getting water refills while sitting in direct sun, and overall the experience just felt very disorganized. To their credit, they comped the entrees, and we appreciated that gesture. But between the long wait, poor food quality, and overall experience, it unfortunately wasn't somewhere we'd return to or recommend for a special occasion. read more

Great spot with incredible food! We had Mary Cait and she was quick, attentive and kind! We'll be back.

It's been awhile since I've been to Saint Anejo. The menu has changed up some, I'm glad the fried mahi taco was still on there cause that was our favorite. The ceviche is new and that was good. Quesadilla was alright but the birria pizza had a funny smell to it, I think from the wood it was cooked on. When we bit into it, it wouldn't come apart. And I was excited about the elotes but it was so burnt. I thought it was charred but if you look closely, all of it is brown. We didn't eat that either. The good thing is the place is kept up well for as long as it's been around and our service was great. read more

Super cute bar/restaurant located in the Gulch! Fun colored lights hanging across the ceiling. Seating both inside and outside. The food came out so fast, I picked 2 different types of tacos, the pork taco and the baha mahi taco. I definitely preferred the baha mahi tacos but both were delish. The margaritas were incredible! I had the skinny jalapeño which had the perfect kick at the end. They also use crushed ice which is so much better than regular ice. The host admitted they were short staffed, so be prepared to wait awhile to be seated. It also meant we couldn't sit outside which was a bit of a bummer since it was the perfect night for it. read more

This place was recommended to me by several people, notably for the sangria. It is busy so make a reservation ahead if you can. I only had the red sangria, chips, salsa, and queso. I HIGHLY recommend the red sangria. I enjoyed the chips and salsa, and the queso was ok (wasn't really hot). The service was good, and our waiter checked on us often. I would return to try more things. Great for date night or hanging out with friends. read more

We came to Saint Anejo for lunch simply after driving by and thinking it looked fun with the outdoor seating! I'm so glad we did because it was really good. The casa perfecta was a super refreshing and great marg! The complimentary chips and salsa are great- I loove the seasoned chips, we also got the queso which was good too. My friend said the baja mahi taco was amazing! I got the carne asada fajitas and they tasted great- and the serving size is big so I have basically a whole other meal to eat later. Loved it here! read more

This was a great spot in Nashville for some tacos and drinks! Service: 10/10! Our server was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The food here was pretty good. Is it authentic Mexican food? Obviously not, but the food was good. I got an al pastor taco and a carne asada taco. I liked the carne asada more, I'd probably eat when like a 6/10. The tacos are a bit overpriced in my opinion. The guac was pretty good too, I liked it more than the tacos, but it was $12 for such a tiny bowl of it. The drinks here were great, I recommend the white sangria and any of their margaritas. I'd come again for drinks and probably try other things on the menu! read more

10/10 the best Mexican restaurant in Nashville.I live in California and eat Mexican food weekly, this compares to my favorite restaurant in LA The vibes were high! We called and they accompanied our party of 14 on Friday night at the drop of a hat!! They had our table decorated beautifully on the patio and moved it inside because we said we were hot upon arrival. Our server was amazing, such a nice guy! We ordered pitchers of all the margarita flavors on happy hour/ all were delicious and heavy pours!! They had a lot of gluten free options and I loved the enchiladas they were incredible. Beautiful restaurant inside and out; the bar was gorgeous. Fantastic service we really appreciated you taking the best care of our party!! Huge portions, I ate my leftovers the next day and they were amazing read more

Brunch with my sisters. This may have been the highlight of our Nashville trip (hard to say because we always have a good time together). We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed a relaxing, slow-paced meal, complete with chips & salsa - and delicious morning cocktails. The portions were generous and flavorful. The menu is extensive, which sometimes worries me because who can do that many things right? Well, when it comes to brunch, Saint Anejo can. I'm not going to recommend any particular dish because, frankly, they were all fantastic. May have to return for a later-in-the-day visit if /when I find myself in Nashville again. read more

There are a lot of great places to get upscale tacos in Nashville these days but Saint Anejo still stands out as a winner and a bit different. The tacos are good--each I had and each my table tried was raved about (faves include the Mahi Mahi, Barbacoa, and al pastor) but everything else involved stepped it up: the street corn, the salsa (particularly the bbq spicy one), the churros, the short+stout margaritas, the decor, the prices/value, the ambience, the music, the service. All in all just a great place to have a fun lunch or early dinner. I really appreciate that you can get a booth or your own table and that while there's music it's easy to have a conversation at said table without shouting--many of Anejo's competitors don't provide that. I did see on the Yelp description that they have a free parking lot but for the life of me don't know where--we circled the area many times and ended up using street parking at (a fair) $2 per hour to avoid the criminal metropolis garages. read more

This is a restaurant that serves standard US Mexican food but excels at the tequila drinks. The place shows wear and needs maintenance. 4 of us stopped in and each had different drinks, (margaritas or Signature) and we all liked what we had. A couple asked for Tajin instead of salt and that made them that much better. Food. The menu is limited so we also tried a few tacos and they were just tacos. Nothing special to write about. (I've traveled all over Mexico and enjoyed the foods and these were just plain.) I'd come back for the creative drinks. But I'd go elsewhere for dinner. read more
