The 13 Best New Restaurants In Nashville

"While you can still find the food truck in East Nashville, Maiz de la Vida’s Gulch restaurant has an expanded menu with excellent upscale takes on traditional Mexican dishes. The tried and true favorites—quesabirria tacos, quesadillas, and guacamole—are still just as good here, but the chicken milanesa and tres leches are superb takes on classics. And even though they went way fancier with this spot, it’s not some stuffy experience. The room feels like a Sonoran bungalow, with Mexican pottery, potted marigolds, and a giant mural made up of 250,000 kernels of corn. There are two bars here, one looking into the kitchen and the other handling the drinks, and both are great for posting up for a solo work lunch. The wood-slat booths on the side, however, are the money spot for a second dinner date." - ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2, adam sloan, carlo mantuano, carlo mantuano, adam sloan, ann walczak, ann walczak, ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez
