This
is
my
new
favorite
spot
in
the
gulch
to
grab
a
drink.
I
just
came
to
see
if
this
place
can
dethrone
bartaco
for
best
margarita
in
Nashville.
I
can
not
say
it
now,
but
it
was
super
close.
I'll
be
back
here
soon
to
review
the
food
and
drinks
as
well.
***Update
Came
in
for
a
healthy
lunch
and
was
decently
impressed
with
the
food.
I
got
the
guac
and
chips,
which
were
fresh
and
topped
with
onion
tomatoes
and
cilantro.
It
needed
a
bit
of
salt
for
my
partner,
but
i
loved
it
with
the
fresh
lime
juice
on
top.
Their
crudite
is
topped
with
tajin
and
spices,
which
is
a
nice
touch.
Also,
I
got
a
side
of
black
beans
because
the
measure
of
a
tex
mex
spot
for
me
are
these
two
things.
The
black
beans
are
my
favorite
so
far
in
Nashville.
If
you
love
black
beans,
it's
worth
the
trip,
and
they
are
served
in
cast
iron,
which
is
a
very
cool
presentation.
The
tortilla
chips
were
warm,
and
they
kept
them
in
a
warmer
behind.
The
bar.
Tried
the
carne
asada
quesidilla
it
was
cheesey
and
even
better
with
a
bit
of
my
salad
in
it.
The
salads
are
very
generously
dressed,
so
if
that's
bot
your
jazz,
get
it
on
the
side.
The
atmosphere
is
dope
it
feels
open
and
social
at
the
same
time.
The
music
is
present
but
not
overpowering,
and
there
are
6
tvs
at
the
bar.
This
would
be
a
great
spot
to
catch
the
game.
I
did
try
their
margarita
thebsecond
time.
The
first
time,
I
gave
the
bartender
a
recipe
I
liked,
and
he
crushed
it,
so
yeah,
the
bartenders
are
good.
The
second
time
I
ordered
their
house
margarita
and
it
was
basically
identical
to
bartaco
a
little
less
lime
juice
so
its
safe
to
call
these
1a
and
1b
in
Nashville
right
infront
of
Nectar(if
you
count
Donelson)
or
Calacas
downtown(if
you
don't).
The
menu
is
simple
and
not
overwhelming,
but
each
dish
sounds
amazing,
so
it's
hard
to
choose.
I'll
be
back
to
try
a
bunch
of
different
things
when
I
come
back.
The
bar
and
restaurant
are
connected
in
a
very
aztec
type
of
layout,
which
is
dope.
The
open
air
seating
of
the
indoor
to
outdoor
bar
is
super
cool.
If
you
are
craving
latin
cuisine,
I
highly
recommend
this
sopt
on
a
sunny
day.
It
was
also
amazing
at
night,
especially
during
a
full
moon.
It's
not
great
for
a
first
date
as
the
exits
are
awkward
and
a
bit
misleading
the
first
time
you
go.
If
you
are
familar
with
the
layout,
then
all
that
changes.
A
date
night
here
is
great,
especially
at
one
of
the
corner
tables
or
at
the
bar.
The
lighting
and
ambiance
are
chill
yet
subtly
romantic.
The
lighting
breathes
an
energy
that
is
both
infectious
and
romantic.
There's
even
plenty
of
room
for
your
pup
on
the
patio
area.
You
have
to
check
out
this
bar.
I
highly
recommend
this
place
to
tex
mex
and
Latin
cuisine
fiends.
You
won't
be
disappointed.
