The food just wasn't that great. I had a couple of tacos that were ok. But I have had numerous cheaper tacos that were so much better. The queso dip was pretty good, but the chips were overcooked. We had a pizza with brisket and there was a lot of brisket with not much else. Kinda tasted like brisket on a cracker. I just want impressed for the money.

Lovely twist on classic brunch food. The hot chicken sausage was delicious, the chorizo scramble a nice option - but the churro-esque horchata French toast is a must try!

The vibes were great! The staff was so so so friendly. The food was delicious and the restaurant was so cute and cozy. The chips are some kind of chili powder chips but the queso was delicious. I would definitely check it out. Went during lunch so there a wait but definitely expect a wait for dinner so I would make a reservation!

Loved our dining experience at Saint Anejo off Broadway. The chips were great with a special spice combination and a couple of different salsas. We both had tacos and loved the option to mix and match the different ones. They were all top notch! The drinks were tasty and our server was great as well. It was an easy walk from our hotel on Church Street. We will definitely come back when we visit Nashville again.

Excellent tacos and I love that I can get them as lettuce wraps. The chips were well seasoned. The birria Oaxacan pizza was excellent. It lives up to the hype.

This place was great. The food and atmosphere were amazing. The only thing I would suggest is making a reservation. The hostess told us it was a 45 min wait. Google let me book a reservation for 15 min later. We walked up 15 min and got sat right away. She didn't seem like an out of the box thinker. Our server was good. We had the honestly burrito, and omlett with chicken Tika and the chicken Tika quesadilla. The drinks looked great but we had a 2hr drive back to knoxville so we passed.
