Nestled in East Nashville, just a stone’s throw from all the gritty-cool, artsy, music-soaked flavor that makes this part of town an absolute must-visit. Redheaded Stranger is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve tacos — it rewrites the taco rulebook.

🌮 What Is Redheaded Stranger?
So, picture this — retro Western vibes, a laid-back neighborhood feel, and the scent of fresh flour tortillas sizzling on the griddle. That’s Redheaded Stranger. It’s a Tex-Mex taco joint with Tennessee soul, inspired by the classic Willie Nelson album of the same name. It’s wild, it’s chill, it’s quirky in all the right ways. This place isn’t trying to be flashy — it just is cool, effortlessly.

🔥 Menu Highlights You’re Gonna Crave:

• 🌯 Green Chile Cheeseburger – No lie, this thing’s a spiritual experience on a bun

• 🌮 Brisket Taco – Tender smoked meat + punchy flavor = absolute fire

• 🍳 Breakfast Taco with Bacon & Potato – A morning pick-me-up that hits harder than a Nashville jam session

• 🥑 Guacamole & Queso – Get both. Don’t argue. Just thank us later.

• 🧊 Frozen Ranch Water – A spicy twist on a classic that’s cooler than an East Side rooftop at sunset

🎵 Why It Feels Like a Backyard Cookout With Your Coolest Friend
Redheaded Stranger gives you that easy-breezy, kick-back-and-stay-awhile kinda energy. You walk in, and it's like, “yeah, I could hang here all day.” The space is small but mighty, filled with bright pops of color, Southwestern flair, and a walk-up window that just feels right. And don’t even get us started on the patio — it’s where day-drinking and people-watching combine like chips and queso.
