bartaco, with locations in a dozen states, is one of the most popular restaurants in the 12 South neighborhood of Nashville. It seems like there are always people gathered around outside waiting for a table. They do not take reservations, but you can call ahead or use their app to put your name on the waiting list. May I suggest grabbing a beer to-go at The Filling Station while you wait? I like their Baja fish tacos, brown rice, and margaritas (or their Paloma cocktail is really good, too). I also like that they have gluten free options, like the ahi tuna bibb lettuce tacos, pictured below. On nice weather days, they have a great outdoor patio, and even on cold weather days, it’s still available with heaters.
The “tuna tatako”: ahi tuna and asian slaw on bibb lettuce with a side of brown rice paired with a margarita.
