Ladybird Taco

Great taco place near 12South! A must try because these tacos are delicious and made with fresh ingredients. My favorite part of the breakfast taco were the crunchy potato sticks. Photos are worth more than words, so I uploaded three tacos we tried. All were great! My favorite was the egg and potato (no cheese), my husband’s favorite was the brisket taco.

Ladybird Taco is amazing! Wonderful atmosphere, great playlist, and friendly and efficient service. Hand pressed, made-to-order tortillas are a standout, as well as house made salsas. I opted for breakfast tacos (which they’ll make all day), Texas queso with a pico and guacamole dollop, and a mix of Jamaica and Lavender Limemade. Not going to lie, I’m in bed with my leftovers right now planning my return!

I got a pork and a chicken taco. Both of them were really good and actually good a lot of food in the tacos compared to most places. The salsas were really good that you could add, and I loved the jalapeño one. The queso was decent.

I enjoyed everything I ate at Ladybird. I had 2 breakfast tacos and a lunch taco with chorizo queso. The food was fresh and the staff was friendly. The watermelon Fresca was refreshing too. I’ll be back for sure. Ladybird taco was a cute space packed with a variety of people. You can work and eat or just catch up with friends.

My friend took me by here Monday for my first time before he had to leave town for work, so I bought our food. It wasn't a wait, so that was good. No public restroom, that was the a downside. Also, I ordered no onions on my taco, and they put onions on my taco AND my cheese dip. The food was great though. I had a chicken roasted taco and it was phenomenal 😋. It was somewhat pricey for the small amount amount of food.

We came on a Sunday around 9am and it wasn’t super packed; we were able to order quickly and easily! We got an assortment of breakfast and lunch tacos and a couple signature lattes — it was DELICIOUS. Truly a perfect combo for when you want a quick breakfast/brunch without all the booze and extras. Parking was a little busy, but there’s plenty of street parking and a parking lot in the back.

Absolutely enjoyed our visit! Both the taco and coffee selections were great. The tacos are delicious, fresh and perfect size. Get 2-3 tacos and mix it up to try the different varieties. Overall, the food and atmosphere is fantastic. now understand why locals make Ladybird a regular stop.

We love Ladybird Taco! Every time we’re in Nashville we set an intention to have at least one, if not multiple meals here.

Nashville has literally zero breakfast burritos. This is the only thing comparable. I come here at least once a week! Staff is so friendly, and they are always busy but super efficient.

Do NOT order ladybird from ANY food delivery app. They will never include sauce, even if you pay extra for extra sauce. Even if you put in notes "please include sauce" Ordered several times, never any sauce. Otherwise food is good. Not as good as it could be with the sauce you paid for.

Very good tacos. My favorite was the pork. The Queso was just ok. Their specialty drinks are flavorful. We had lavender lemonade and limeade. Cute spot whose service was better than the food.

Delicious breakfast tacos. Went here for the first time while visiting and was happy with their food choices.

This was my first time going to Ladybird after hearing about it for so long. I thought this restaurant was cute. The cashier was really friendly and helpful with me navigating the menu. I loved the tacos, they were the perfect size and delicious. I do with there were more sides options so I did remove a star for that. I would definitely bring people visiting town here for lunch.

Best breakfast taco place in town. You can really taste the freshness in these tacos. The staff is always very friendly and quick even when it's busy. Beware there isn't a parking lot, but you can street park. My go to for the breakfast tacos is #2 and #6. There coffee is also really good!

No flavor. Staff was kind and vibes were good but the food was plain Jane. I ordered the #11 (Black Beans, Avocado, Potato, Pico Vegan if Ordered on A Corn Tortilla) and #13 ( Black Beans, Marinated Corn, Cabbage) - no mayo & both corn tortillas -- making both vegan. Very very little flavor.

I have been wanting to go to Ladybird Taco forever finally got to go and and now within a few days have been twice! The outside of the building is so cute and vibrant with a few tables outside to sit. I cannot remember the name of the gentleman at the register, but I can tell you that he is the reason that I will continuously be coming back as well. Customer service was amazing. It was my first time and there's always a little bit of anxiety for me surrounding a new menu, especially when you order at a counter and there's people behind you, but he was extremely personable, answered all my questions, and gave some good recommendations! At first, I was kind of like tacos and coffee? But yes, tacos and coffee. I've tried the AGT and chai and both were awesome (personal preference being the chai) Taco wise the #11, #9, #3 were what I ordered with a side of corn (esquites) and initially I was worried that they (tacos) were a little bit on the smaller side, but I was full after my meal. Check them out !

Ladybird taco has amazing breakfast tacos. We found it soon as they opened during the pandemic and every time I'm in Nashville I pay them a visit. Over time it's gotten super popular but they are still just as amazing. My go to is the classic #1 ( bacon, egg and cheese) with a watermelon aguafresca.

Breakfast tacos were bomb diggity! Ordered #3 and the eggs were cooked perfectly.. deliciousness served here!

I have visited several times at this point. I came here for a Yelp event and dining in on my own. There are a lot of pros and cons to Ladybird Taco, and I realize that as I say this now, not everyone will share my same opinion. Ladybird Taco is a place for people to dine in with friends, bring their kids for a bite, grab a quick lunch to-go when they're on the run, and also for people who want to work on their laptops when they don't want to be in a normal coffee shop. It is a multifaceted place. It is excellent that the space is so functional for all varying purposes. You wouldn't see me try and work on my laptop in a lot of different places, and though I have tried here, it was not a good idea for me. One of the good things about Ladybird that one can immediately recognize is that the food is delicious. I have never had any issues with the food. I have had problems with them screwing up my order on more than one occasion. It can be overwhelming when there is a line out the door, and you have a tiny space for people to stand around. Cutting through the crowd to let them know they screwed up your order also overwhelmed the cashier, trying to recover from the mishap. They are always nice to fix it, but it has happened more than I'd care to admit. Either way, customer service is always nice and attentive to the needs of their customers. The downside to Ladybird Taco has to be the crowds and wait time to get your order, even when it is a small order. Due to its popularity, it is always packed and packed to the gills. The last time I was here, a mom parked her stroller at one of the tables outside before she had even ordered to claim it. I understand claiming a seat so you have a place to occupy once you place your order, but I think it is irresponsible to leave your stroller unoccupied with your child asleep while you place an order just to save a spot. Ma'am, take your kid in with you and forfeit that you won't have a table outside. Do people feel really safe around here to just leave their kids unattended? I guess so. Aside from that one incident, kids are often here, and I wouldn't say I like visiting places packed with kids. I don't have kids, and I don't want to listen to your kids carry on, cry, and run amok because you think it is cute to let your kids have free range of the place. I understand if you would do it if we were at a McDonald's playground, but we aren't. Keep your kids from running amok in an already cramped place. This is especially applicable on the weekends. It is not cramped when it is not busy, but they are always full. I commend them for being active; this is a good thing for them and keeps them in business! I am all about a thriving business! Ladybird is never short of business. Now that I am done with my tangent, I am more inclined to order to-go for future orders than to mess with dine-in. It just isn't worth the stress and noise level for me to dine in. They offer tacos, coffee, and an array of options. I do love their food and customer service, just not the kid-filled clientele and the claustrophobia that comes with being in line. I guess crowds and post covid PTSD is real.

Stopped in for some breakfast. Had a few vegetarian tacos. They were absolutely delicious. I could not believe they make the corn taco shell by hand in front of you when you order. The best experience, great service, and it was so clean. And another great thing is they have a salsa bar with their homemade specialty salsas. I could drink the green salsa. Will definitely go back.

Never would have thought to combine coffee + tacos. Ladybird Taco brings Austin's taco culture to Music City. I enjoyed the #4 with queso w/brisket.

Breakfast tacos are a weekend tradition, fantastic. Order #3 or the chorizo if you like spice.

This place was so busy on a Saturday at 11:00am. The line moved quickly as the staff was efficiently moving folks through the line and order pickup. We thought we would have a difficult time getting a table but the table turns were frequent. The dining area is adorable and was a cute spot for a date or meetup with friends. They have breakfast and lunch/dinner tacos all day. My friend opted for the egg and bacon breakfast taco and brisket taco said both were really good. I had a carnitas taco which was just okay. It definitely needed a flavor bump as it was just pork and radish slices. The few strips of pickled red onion were two minimal to add flavor. Thankfully their salsa game is solid! This was our first time there so we tried all three and really all were delicious. I couldn't decide which one I liked the most. We had the chips and regular guacamole but wished we got the loaded guacamole because it was just smashed avocado in a cup. It was a good portion and we didn't finish it. I mixed their salsa into it and it became tasty guacamole. Chips were solid and was a good addition to our lunch. My second taco was the #10 fried queso and veggie and the flavors were really nice. No additional salsa necessary. I'd definitely choose it again. The tortillas were so fresh and delicious. Yum! For drinks we had the watermelon agua Fresca and lavender limeaid. The watermelon Fresca was my clear favorite of the two.

Just ordered the #8 and #9 this morning for delivery and the food was immaculate. Flavors were great and I didn't use any hot sauces. Was in a quick hurry to eat but can't wait to get these again and amp up the flavors with their hot sauce. Great food and quick.

All staff is very friendly and fast service. The breakfast tacos always hit the spot when on the go.

This place is beyond amazing! I am writing this review after a 4 mile run in California, yes you heard that right in California. That's how much I dream about this place and can't wait to be back in Nashville and eat this for 2 weeks straight. I found out about this place via some YouTubers who swear by it and came and omg the hype was real! First let's talk about the customer service they greet you warmly and it's as if you walked in to your family's home talking with cousins! They were so nice and helpful and sweet! Amazing staff! Then the coffee! Yes this place has amazing coffee better than most cafes I have tried! Then as if it could not get any better they have amazing delicious tacos with tortillas that are handmade and the cheese queso dip with their signature green sauce I mean top tier! Perfect place for families, friends or if your rolling solo like myself it's the best place! Counting down the days till I'm back and you'll be seeing me there every morning clock work! Amazing job to the owners and staff!! See ya soon signed craving ladybird tacos in California!

Love that they have breakfast and lunch tacos! #3 add cheese is my favorite. Tortillas are homemade and delicious. Really like their chips and queso, both are always really fresh. Coffee menu is also 10/10, especially The AGT latte. Tucked away in a quieter part of 12 South away from the crowds.

Wow. This place was delicious! I got the grilled veggie taco and chorizo breakfast taco. The chorizo was insanely good, honestly would've gone for both of those. The grilled veggies taco was good too, but not as mouth watering as the chorizo. My friend who went got two brisket tacos and loved them more so than the carnitas ones. Pros: Several taco options including vegetarian. Breakfast and lunch available all day. Lots of seating indoor. Even if it's packed, it tends to flow nicely. Food is brought to you. Salsa & utensils off to the side, easy access. Cons: The wait! Jeez, it felt like we would never make it to the cash register. This might be the only con, honestly. Loved it so much that the wait was worth it.

First time trying this restaurant and it did not disappoint. When trying a new place I always ask for recommendations and I let the cashier order for me. I got a #1 breakfast taco (bacon/egg) and a #8 lunch taco (brisket/avocado). Breakfast taco: the eggs were fluffy and the bacon was quality. Lunch taco: the brisket was juicy and well seasoned. The in-house sauces were great and lended a nice flavor compliment to each taco. The staff were super friendly. If you're in the area this spot is worth the stop!

Upon entering I instantly loved the vibe and the staff working here. Everyone was super friendly and the service was fast. I ordered two tacos and a iced coffee to go. The #7 Lunch Taco, smoked brisket, potatoes, rajas, and queso and the #8 Lunch Taco, brisket, sliced avocado, and pico de gallo. Coming from SoCal, I wasn't sure what to expect with TexMex tacos, but I'm officially a fan! First off, I loved the flour tortillas. Soft, pliable, and just slightly chewy, which I secretly enjoy. The #7 taco was my fave of the two. The crunchy potatoes added a great texture and paired with the saltiness of the queso it was all divine. The #8 lunch taco was good, just more on the bland side. I could have used some extra salsa for this taco. The brisket in both tacos was super tender with almost zero fat and had great smoke flavor to them. The coffee was surprisingly delicious! Super smooth flavor with no bitterness and with the addition of oat milk, to quote Guy Fieri, "I was in flavor country!" Parking can be tough here. It's mostly street parking, but make sure to check the back parking lot first!

The best breakfast tacos in Nashville. Homemade tortillas are the best. Excellent lunch tacos too

Weird wet mushy tacos, not good. I've only been there for lunch, don't know how the breakfast is

Tacos were wet, specifically the brisket, and lacking good flavor. Chorizo was kinda weird, and so were the eggs. Tortillas were good and had great texture, maybe a little thin. Chips were alright. Cheese dip was also alright, but I paid extra for meat in it and barely got any. Again, it was kind of wet/watery because the pico de Gallo on top of the cheese dip was super watery. They don't serve margaritas, so that's unfortunate, but their coffee is great. I have heard a lot of people compare this to Red Headed Stranger, but I don't think they're very similar, and unfortunately for Ladybird, they are not in the same league. I would say a similar food style comparison would be Taco Mama, but again, Taco Mama is better. I would probably put this in the same league as SATCO, but more expensive. Sorry.

I was visiting Nashville and I was recommended to come visit Ladybird Taco and I'm very glad I stopped by. I love that they sell and wrap the tacos individually, so I get to try as many as I want. Also, their tortillas are homemade (might even be made-to-order!) and are delicious. I tried 4 different tacos and liked them all, except the 1 vegetarian one I got wasn't as good as the other meat ones so I wouldn't recommend them to meat-eaters.

Amazing amazing food, coffee, queso & salsa! It gets packed fast! Went on a Sunday morning about 9:30 and we got a seat, but there was quickly a line out the door by 10.

Had a great breakfast taco experience here this morning, and can't wait go back to try their lunch tacos. I had the Bacon Breakfast Taco (#1 on the menu) and the Chorizo Breakfast Taco (#4 on the menu), both of which were delicious. The chorizo had a little bit of spice to it, which was nice. These tacos are a little on the small side, and with the flour tortillas (gluten-free corn tortillas are also available) they're a little more like a mini breakfast burrito than a taco. So I consider two of these tacos a light meal, and three to be more realistic. But that provides a great excuse to try more than one flavor! The flour tortillas were excellent, which is no surprise since they were being made fresh behind the counter (which was a fun process to watch!). I also had the guacamole with chips, and the guacamole was fantastic. The salsa bar provided three different options, with a red sauce (Roja) and green sauce (Roasted Tomatillo), both of which were nicely flavored and mild. The Patron sauce was my favorite, with a creamy texture and subtle garlic flavor with a nice little bit of kick. Oh, and while this place is all about the tacos, the coffee is also excellent. I had the Carmadillo, which is a salted caramel caffe latte. It was amazing! Ladybird Taco is in the fun 12 South neighborhood of Nashville, but over on 10th Avenue a short distance from the hustle and bustle (and tourists) of 12th Avenue. The restaurant is open and spacious with lots of light thanks to the big windows.

So I walk into this place with two of my buddies because one of my other buddies told me it was the best lunch place and breakfast place in Nashville and so I have high citations. I get two tacos and a limeade and I love it especially the tortillas those were to die for. The service was great and my buddy who is really tall loved the chairs because of the leather and how they were made and I think he is going to make chairs just like it. Doesn't get much better than good chairs and good tacos and now I'm off to the races.

Ok so I came here because I was craving some breakfast tacos and this place seems pretty good. I was trying to order online and I'm so thankful that the transaction didn't go through . They use Toasttab.com for their loyalty and ordering and boy, I was about to pay $7+ extra if I had orders from there. I decided to just go ahead and order when I go there. I order the same things I wanted (3) breakfast tacos #1 and I added potatoes and a side of pico. The potatoes were sprayed on and the bacon was not crispy, it was burnt . I was honestly disappointed that someone would put that piece of bacon there. I also had a latte. Good things about this place, staff was friendly, tortillas tasted good and the pico too. The latte was good. Overall I would come here just to come but I would come again if I'm invited. I'm sure other items on the menu could be better. Also, who says no to free food? Ha!

An incredible little taco joint! We went for lunch and it was packed but the staff kept up really well and our food was ready faster than we expected! Not to mention it's just a real cute setting and their food is presented very well!

Stopped by Ladybird Taco this morning on my walk & absolutely loved the neighborhood feel! They have an amazing all-day menu with both breakfast and lunch tacos. My favorite part was the homemade flour tortillas (yum) & salsa choices. They even had a dog water bowl out for my little guy. Definitely recommend!

It's such a cool spot and offers free parking! The inside is modern and clean, but also feels welcoming. I saw several people working on laptops since it wasn't too load, it's a good WFH spot. A few tables outside, but since the weather was nice outside was packed! I tried the #6 Migas and #7 Brisket. I used the verde sauce for both, which I wish had a little more heat. The migas was great - the crunch from the chips was fun! The brisket was good and not super fatty. I didn't taste much of the queso though. I also got a queso to go with 6 flour tortillas. The tortillas are stellar! I love homemade tortillas, and you can even see these being made! Lastly, I tried the lavender limeade which was tart but refreshing! People were friendly too, which is always a major plus!

Sorry, but this place other than the guac and coffee was just okay... I guess I expected more? Okay, the homemade tortillas were bomb, coffee with cinnamon and honey was yum, guac was delish... but the rest we were underwhelmed. We ordered guac with chips, and for some reason charged $8 for two salsas, even though salsa is free over in the salsa bar?! Hubs went over and asked what was up, the manager had to approve a refund. That took over 20 minutes to get. Just sort of disappointing...

Delicious tacos and a good variety offered for breakfast. I love them three sauces you could get yourself. Met a friend with a new puppy, so the outside tables were perfect for our needs. The service is quick and so friendly.

On a recent trip to Warner Park for a hike, we decided to stop at Ladybird Taco for lunch. We ordered a few tacos, the #5, 7, 9, 10 and 12 as well as their chips and salsa (spicy). Everything we had we enjoyed; our tacos had braised chicken, carnitas and brisket. All of the meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The salsa with the chips was awesome. The food came out fast. This is a popular spot so there can be quite the line sometimes, but I would say it's worth it...Recommended!

Food gets 5 stars but there was a mishap or something in the kitchen and the whole place filled with smoke. It was not so much to evacuate but our clothes smelled afterward.

What a hidden gem! It is a few streets over from 12th South in more of the residential area. There is parking in front of the building along the road, and there is also a plenty of parking behind the building as well. Despite the line being to the door when walking in, the line moved fast with just one cashier taking orders. I ordered the Brisket Taco #7 and the Chicken Taco #9. I also tried the Cuban coffee. I was just absolutely blown away. The tortillas were made fresh, and they have three homemade sauces to try. My favorite was the Patron which is made with jalapeños and garlic. The tacos might not look appealing in the pictures, but they are PACKED with flavor. Any of the three sauces bring out the flavors without being too spicy or overpowering. Don't even get me started on the coffee. It was better than I was expecting especially from a place that sells tacos. There's seating inside, but it does get packed on the weekends. I have also been during the weekday and have seen people working there as it is quieter during the week. This place will not disappoint! Definitely give it a try.

This place is a gem There is an energy and homey vibe about the space. While this would be considered a quick eats option, it was clear to me that community gathers here and people come to enjoy time around good food. The food was fresh, delicious, and had unique flavors (the carnitas is fire). Our order came out perfectly and in good time! The coffee was smooth and done so well (coming from a coffee snob). Pro tip- If you are planning to stop by for a quick bite to eat during brunch Sat./Sun. then order online.

A solid breakfast / lunch taco spot right off the busy 12th South. We went with some friends around 8:30AM on a July Saturday and parking wasn't too bad. The inside is modern and has a bunch of cool designs on the wall. We ordered some breakfast tacos and a Texas kitchen sink cookie. The breakfast taco that had bacon on it (the #1) was easily my favorite followed by the pretty spicy chorizo (the #4) . Both were a decent size, but I think most people will need 2-3 to be full. The cookie was solid and helped my sweet tooth, but it wasn't mind blowing by any means. Overall, we really liked Ladybird and can see ourselves coming back here in the near future!

Oh it's worth the wait and drive. These were awesome tacos. They were full of flavor. I had the vegan taco #11. The potatoes were crispy and it had avocado on it. I do wish there were a little veggies or tomatoes on there but it was still delicious. Service was slow but good. They were short staffed and still got things out as quickly as they could and with smiles. It was crowed and we still got a seat at a table. It's an up beat happy place to go. Parking wasn't bad either. We will be back to try the breakfast.

Fantastic breakfast/lunch taco place that is right off of 12 south. Relatively simple menu with options for both breakfast and lunch tacos. Gluten free /vegetarian friendly which is a huge plus! Food: Tacos were flavorful and a good size. Order 2-3 tacos and maybe a side. The Brisket and carnitas were both excellent. A tiny bit bland, but add one of their three salsa and it's perfect. The chips are between the really thin Chuy and the thicc Condado Tacos chips. All their tortillas are made in house. Price: The tacos are on the pricery side for what you get. For 4 tacos, Chips and Guac and 2 drinks the total was $40. However, for location this is not out of the norm. Service: Staff were phenomenal and super friendly. Order at the counter and they'll bring your order to you. I wish there was more outdoor seating available as the weather gets nicer. Will definitely be back for more! Tip: Check out the 12 south area which is the next street over.

This is the best taco I've literally ever had in my life. From the second you walk in, the vibes are *chefs kiss* packed with locals and friendly atmosphere. There was about a 8 person line when I walked in which I understand is small for them 1pm on a Monday so I was pumped. *look at what you want online before you go, makes ordering that much easier when it's your turn* I got the #7 lunch taco and chips & queso. Again- it's all about the tacos here & everyone else was getting breakfast tacos (even at lunch time) so I'll def go back for that. The queso was not hot enough at all, but they were super busy so I understand & I just heated it up when I got home. Whatever you do, get multiple of the Patron green sauce, it's incredible & they should bottle it. I'll be back for breakfast soon!

First time eating here. The service was amazing! Very helpful and helped me decide what to eat! Nice place to eat in or out. Parking depending on when you come can be an issue but if you're lucky enough to find a spot I recommend going.

Amazing tacos for a great price. We got our food in only a couple mins despite it being so busy. Zero complaints and a great spot with quick service

I loved Ladybird Taco. Our friends that live in Nashville brought us here for breakfast. They have so many options, and I liked that you could order off the breakfast and lunch menu. The tortillas were fresh, the ingredients were flavorful and our food came out quickly. I also loved the different sauces you could get to add even more flavor to your tacos!! I liked the open seating and saw that there were even some tables outside. Bonus: they serve Crema coffee.

The tortilla here is amongst the best I've ever eaten. The size of the tacos is also very generous. I got 2 and was quite full! i got the bacon/egg/cheese and the grilled queso fresco. both delicious! The watermelon agua fresca is very good! The staff is super nice and the restaurant is clean.

Serving sizes and quality has improved immensely. This is now a monthly spot for the family.

Wonderful food. I factually have decided this is the best quick breakfast spot in Nashville. I also have a scandalous crush on one of the workers. Lovely to look at!

The Foods pretty good, and well priced! The ambiance is great. Our tacos came out much faster than we expected for a busy Sunday morning! This is a great place for a casual but filling and tasty breakfast!
