"A contender for Nashville’s best queso: San Antonio Taco Co.’s chili con queso, a delicacy that has drawn diners to this rickety 21st Avenue building since 1984. Affectionately known as Satco, the fast-casual Tex-Mex spot stands in the heart of the Vanderbilt University campus, with a large wooden patio serving as a popular meeting point for students, families, and groups of friends heading to a ball game or a night on the town. Grab a mix of tacos and a bucket of cold beer for the table." - Kellie Walton
"Casual, affordable Tex-Mex is the name of the game at San Antonio Taco Co., a Midtown institution known to most as Satco. Long-time locals and many a visiting chef have formed an affinity for the low-priced bean-and-cheese tacos and fish tacos. Plus, the patio is a great spot for sipping a beer and taking in some serious people-watching." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
"Tex-Mex gem San Antonio Taco Co., or SATCO as locals lovingly call it, sits adjacent to the Vanderbilt University campus, appropriately offering sustenance to help students, locals, tourists, and everyone in between prepare for a night out or cure a Broadway hangover. Tacos start below $3 with toppings running a quarter each. Pair them up with a bowl of queso and a bucket of beer." - Kellie Walton

"Simply known to locals as Satco, this casual Midtown taco shop has been a Vandy student staple since 1984. It’s a few steps from campus, so it has the convenience factor working for it, along with low prices and a notoriously moreish queso that comes with free chip refills. Satco’s efficient process keeps the line moving: Write down an order on a piece of paper, present it to the cashier, and then wait for them to call out the food, usually within a few minutes. When the weather hits just right, students and visitors pack the patio, enjoying pulled pork tacos and bottles of lime-garnished beer." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
