Redheaded Stranger - Review - East Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation
"There’s almost no place we’d rather be than on Redheaded Stranger’s patio in East Nashville, drinking a margarita, and eating a crunchwrap or brisket taco. This Tex-Mex spot is where we often find ourselves for a weekday group lunch, on Saturday mornings for breakfast tacos, or at the bar inside for a quick green chile cheeseburger and a pickle beer. photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin Pause Unmute You might run into a tiny line as you wait, but it always moves fast. Avoid the bulk of the crowds and come during the middle of the day, where you can chat with the friendly bartenders over a margarita, split some totchos with a friend, or down a couple bacon, egg, and cheese tacos which are available all day. Food Rundown Tacos All of the tacos here are good, but we’re partial to the #1 (because it ups the ante on a typical breakfast taco with tater tos), the #2 (because chorizo makes any breakfast taco better), and the #7 (because the brisket rivals any of the best BBQ in town). photo credit: Casey Irwin Crunchwraps They’ve got four different kinds of crunchwraps, but they all easily outclass the chain that invented it. Sure, you might see these include whipped feta and Texas red chili, but they taste remarkably similar to the original, just better. photo credit: Casey Irwin Green Chile Cheeseburger Redheaded Stranger practically bleeds hatch green chiles. This is a great medium-sized burger loaded with them. It’s kinda nice it’s not super big—makes a burger lunch possible without the urge for a nap. photo credit: Casey Irwin Queso Silky, silky cheese sauce. Dunk your tacos in it, dip your cheeseburger in it, put it on everything. photo credit: Casey Irwin Margaritas Don’t overthink this one. photo credit: Casey Irwin" - Carlo Mantuano
