Ladybird Taco

I did not expect to fall in love that afternoon. I only meant to stop in for a taco. But LadyBird Taco had other plans for me. The sunlight poured through the tall windows, draping itself across the tables and over my shoulders. It touched my face like a blind sculptor… a blind sculptor with exotic spices soaked into his pores and cilantro caked under the nails. The room glowed. The walls seemed to hum, and the music… Oh, the music… A mix of lo-fi New Zealand Soul Pop mixed with the occasional calming, cackle of a customer. I stood there for a moment, undone by ambiance. Then she looked at me. The woman at the register. A glance—not accidental, not hurried. Measured. Playful. The kind of look that says, you could stay awhile. I ordered a chicken taco and watermelon juice… but that was merely the entrance fee to linger. Time stretched. The taco vanished, the cup of watermelon juice became a nothing more than a vestibule of air and ice. And last but not least, the bathroom… spacious, immaculate, almost indulgent… like a private retreat, a confession, a realization… all good things must pass. And so it did. LadyBird Taco isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a slow burn. It’s sunlight and soft music and a glance that lingers half a second too long. I came for taco… but stayed until my one hour of free parking was up.

Finally made my way over to the new Ladybird Taco location in East Nashville. The building is great - it’s a solid size, with lots of parking in the back. The store has one door for entering and one for exiting that felt backwards though. Food was good, as expected. I love the #1 and #4 breakfast burritos, though I wish they were bigger! Also really liked the chips and queso - the chips were a perfect type of crunchy.

The salsa cups are smaller than ketchup cups for fries, how can anyone dip their chips in these? 😂 I mean come on, who decided this. Also this super small taco was too messy to touch and $5 and chips and queso was $6. Laughable.

Ladybird Taco is by far my favorite food spot in Nashville! The tacos are delicious with the most amazing fresh tortillas. The staff are incredibly kind and provide excellent service. Overall it’s a 10/10 breakfast/brunch/ or lunch spot!!

Welcome to Inglewood, Ladybird! We have been anxiously awaiting the opening for months and were delighted to see the “Open” sign out this morning. First thing to know is the breakfast tacos are excellent and their sauces are perfection. My favorites are the #1 and the #4. Second thing to know is that the coffee bar is impressive—I dare say my new favorite coffee spot in Riverside. I’ll be back for the cookie butter chai latte. Last thing I’ll say is that we got in and out in around 30 minutes and the place was busy. Despite how slammed they were, we still got checked on by staff, and had happy interactions with everyone there. They made sure to let us know that parking in the back lot is free during their open hours. Hooray for that! Overall a really impressive first day, and I’m sure many more to come. Can’t wait to try Ladybird for lunch.

The #8 taco (brisket) is awesome! The Queso is amazing good too. And the wait staff was so nice and help. The cashier, Ella, was super sweet and had great customer service.

Great atmosphere. Great tacos. Yum!! Tacos are reasonable priced and you can get as many or as little as you want. I opted for the vegan tacos #5 and #6. Both were great! I’d come again!

We already knew we loved ladybird tacos so we were excited to try this location. The staff is incredibly kind and genuine. The seating areas were draped in natural light so we enjoyed our meal while soaking in the warmth of the morning.

Lady Bird is my go-to stop for breakfast tacos. Being a Texan, I need a good tortilla, southern hospitality and bomb queso - luckily Lady Bird tackles all three. I've been to the original location but was so happy to see they opened one in East. The team there is beyond friendly, the service is quick and the overall atmosphere is light and welcoming. Did I mention they serve Crema coffee? Superb. They have free parking too which is few and far between in this city. Get your breakfast taco fix NOW! Go!

It's exactly what you'd expect. Expensive average gentrification tacos. If you have one of these opening up in your area, prepare for your property taxes to go up. Tried it 1 time and got 4 tacos and a coffee and it was like 50$ including tip. Staff were of course nice but cmon it was very basic average food. Was not worth the price and wish something cooler opened up here. Oh well

I've been to this Ladybird a few times, and I absolutely love the location and the decor. It's full of natural light, and there's plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. There's even a parking lot right behind the restaurant, which is easy-to-access and affordable. On my most recent visit, I had a chance to try their "Butter Me Up" Chai Latte, which was part of the 2025 Conversation Hearts Coffee Crawl. This was not-too-sweet and delightfully creamy ... they even topped it with some adorable heart sprinkles for Valentine's Day. My go-to taco is their classic Bean and Cheese. At $3/taco, it's a budget-friendly vegetarian option that's filling and flavorful. I also love their Chori-Fries, but they typically only serve these on their anniversary (keep an eye on their Instagram!)

Love this place. Never disappoints and quality is always consistent. The #5 is my favorite (bean taco -I'm normally order meat but I HAVE to have this). Staff is always super friendly and there's typically an open free parking spot. My only gripe is that the green and red salsa have gotten thinner lately.. might be a me thing so idk.

Ladybird has been on my Nashville taco bucket list since it opened, and it was worth the wait. I'm a new vegetarian, and usually taco joints have a couple of options. At Ladybird, I was inundated with SIX! I'm very indecisive when it comes to food, so it took quite a while to narrow down to my three: the #5 (egg, refried beans, avocado and potato), the #10 (grilled queso fresco, rajas, cabbage and pico) and #13 (black beans, marinated corn, cabbage and patron mayo). All three were delicious, but the #10 and #13 were fighting for the top spot. I loved the unique flavors of the grilled queso fresco paired with the cabbage and pico. The patron mayo on the #13 was so good as was the marinated corn, which was right off the cob. The #5 was good, too, but it was more of a standard breakfast taco, which you can never go wrong with. The three self-serve salsas were amazing and elevated all three of the tacos (it's fun to mix and match). I also tried the chips with queso and guacamole -- delicious. And I'm so glad I tried the cinnamon chips. It was the perfect end to the meal. I still have three vegetarian tacos to try -- plus a few other menu items, so I will definitely be back soon.

Ladybird taco is my favorite breakfast taco spot. The food is always spot on, the service is always friendly, and their coffee is always strong and smooth. I bring all my friends here when they come into town. If it's not just me I'll get the queso to share. I've been switching up my tacos recently, can be risky but not at a place like ladybird. Their tacos are crafted to perfection. I highly recommend! PS @Business Owner- please please pleeease sell me a bottle of the patron salsa. It's literally the best salsa I've ever had

This place is a delicious and cozy little spot for a lunch with friends or out of office work session. I popped in on a Thursday afternoon and was greeted by the friendliest staff! The restaurant is clean, the food is great (I had a marg and cowboy salad), and the service was quick. They were in process of fixing up a HUGE to go order when I arrived and they were slinging those bowls out of the kitchen, amazing speed! Even still, my food came out fresh and quick on top of it. I would visit here again!

From West Coast and have had numbers of breakfast tacos. These were among the best and the flavor of the chorizo and bacon was amazing. Great place

These tacos were just ok. I have enjoyed better tacos from them in the past. They lacked flavor, the scrambled eggs were hard, and the potatoes reminded me of the fried potato sticks instead of hash browns. They were extremely hard and crispy. Definitely not what I expected when ordering. Each taco lacked seasoning overall. The highlight of my order was the stack of tortillas and cheese. You can't go wrong with that or the watermelon Fresca. This was a pickup order and was greeted upon want to find my food hot and ready to go. I hope to give this place a try some other time in hopes for better breakfast tacos.

Finally tried this restaurant. It was so good. We ordered the farmer salad, kids chicken quesadilla, the #11 vegan taco. This came with potatoes, black beans, avocado, pico and corn tortilla. So good. Everything was delicious especially their watermelon and hibiscus agua Fresca. Glad we tried it and can't wait to try other items.

All the food at LB taco is amazing and the sauces are great as well. Quick response time

a staple lunch for me. they have great salads and tacos. I also love the homemade corn tortillas! perfect for GF people!

Came by since I didn't get a chance to try it when there was a Yelp event, but it's been on my radar ever since! It's the corner building of a little strip mall that's in progress, and they have parking out back, free for customers. The menu here is really....unusual. There's coffee & breakfast tacos, but also margaritas and bbq style tacos and salads. So, quite a mix. They close at 4pm, too, so more like coffee shop hours. Despite the identity crisis, inside was really clean and the food was really good! I got the #8 Taco; a lunch taco with brisket, avocado, and pico de gallo. This was outrageously good and had plenty of food! I don't normally love brisket, but I liked that it didn't have cheese and just wanted to try one. It came in a flour tortilla and it was good with any of the three salsas they have available. I really liked the jalapeño sauce, which was actually dairy-free, too. I also got the City Slicker Salad with no cheese. It was all pretty good, but it's kind of a take-out joint and they don't chop the salad! Why? It's so much easier in the kitchen with a giant counter versus in a full bowl with a plastic knife.

I love everything about the location on Riverside. Everyone who works there has a positive attitude and it's very good. The food is great. The service is great. The atmosphere is great. I really like it a lot. They even give you free refills on iced coffee, which is great ...high quality products. I really give them an A plus.

As an East Nashville native, Ladybird is a welcome addition to the community. The queso is incredible, and you can get it with chips but PLEASE get it with fresh tortillas! It's to die for. We tried the chorizo breakfast taco and the verde chicken lunch taco and both were delicious. Everything tastes so fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant is beautiful and the patio was perfect for lunch on a sunny day. Only complaint: I wish they were open for dinner!!

Exactly what you want when yore craving breakfast tacos! I recommend numbers 4-6! The potatoes are nice and crispy and you get a good portion of avocado.

Another taco spot pulling up in east Nashville. Ladybird is a great addition to the area with a very upscale and modern feel for a counter service taco joint. The tacos come packed heavy with meat but could use some more toppings to bring a fuller flavor. Tortillas are fresh and top tier making for a great vessel. Will def return to try more.

Love the addition of this location to the east side of town after being a fan of the 12South location! This location has a great patio area in addition to ample seating inside. Also love that they have a parking lot in the back with dedicated spots for Ladybird customers. I ordered my usual: chorizo, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos with a Carmadillo latte to drink. Absolutely delicious way to start my day! I can't wait to be back.

My great niece loves LadyBird Taco. She had a choice between pizza and LadyBird and picked LadyBird, of course. it is her favorite place to go before or after the library Wonder Babies class. The people there are super friendly and service is wonderfu!

The ambiance is real cute and trendy! I enjoyed the Watermelon Fresca. The tacos were missing something as the chicken tasted like a can of cream of chicken soup. The staff was superb! Bathroom clean!! I would come back to maybe try coffee!

I was working a job in the area and this place caught my eye. I love Coffee and I love Tacos but I can't say I've had them both at the same time before I went here. The people are super kind and sweet. I believe the lady's name that helped me was Rudy. And The coffee and taco was amazing. I wish I had time to eat it inside because it looked cozy and chill on the inside of the shop. I would visit here often if I lived closer and I'll probably be back with some friends sometime.

This is one of our families favorite spots for tacos and coffee! Delicious food, great environment and friendly service.

This place serves unremarkable tacos. The service is great and the restaurant itself is cute, but I don't think it's worth a repeat visit.

Food was very yummy. Fresh tortillas and tortilla chips!! I got breakfast tacos #2 and #5, my boyfriend got a pork taco and a brisket taco (I don't remember what numbers sorry!!) and we got chips and queso. Their jalapeño sauce was veryyy yummy and not over the top spicy. Queso is DELICIOUS. Definitely will be back. The only negative is that I was not a big fan of my iced coffee. The decoration inside is beautiful, tables are comfy and it is very chill. The staff taking orders and delivering food were really polite and very present. They were cleaning up around salsa stations to make sure it looks nice!

So glad to have a Ladybird on the East side now. Best tacos in town for sure. Fresh, great flavor, tons of options. The staff is helpful and makes it fun to drop it. The space is a great hang, either inside or outside on the patio. It's a great place to take folks who are visiting from out of town. Everyone loves it. And... They have amazing coffee! I don't even go to other coffee places anymore. Ladybird has it all!

love the ambiance! feels like a cozy western vibe without being too curated. the veggie and breakfast tacos are always so tasty and I love the salsa trio! the staff is incredibly kind and their selection is perfect! will be back again and again :)

Great breakfast tacos. Everyone here was very pleasant and helpful. Very clean and lots of outdoor space

Wow, so happy to have this as an addition to Riverside Village! Excellent food and service. We accidentally came in a few days early and even though they weren't open yet (still training staff), they gave us tortillas and some tacos/chips on the house. The tortillas were so fresh, and the tacos were absolutely amazing. Such a great team and such great food, can't wait to come back!
