Federales Tacos & Tequila - Nashville

Elizabeth Shorter a month ago

The atmosphere here was so dope, concept super cool BUT the service was trash. Couldn't really tell about the food because our main dishes never made it out, only the appetizers. We had party of 9 and we placed the apps and drinks (bottomless mimosas) and those were so good. When it came time to place the entree order, half the table didn't receive their first entree. We place another order and the 2nd order of food comes out but not the first order. We place another order for the 1st set of food that never came and also placed a 3rd order just in case and neither came. The waitress first said there was nothing she could do as the order was in, then she realized that food kept coming out to other tables except ours. She talked to the manager and after 10 mins said that doubles of everything was coming out. An hour and a half goes by and neither of those things come out, except 2 plates of steak and eggs. The brunch is only 2 hours long and I feel because there is a 18% gratuity per bill, the servers don't care about how good their service is because they are getting a 18% tip regardless of how good their service is. And because it takes forever for the food to come out u can't really maximize on the "all you can eat" brunch. Sucks to pay close to $80/$90 for 2 plates of appetizers, 1 small entree, 3 mimosas, and 6 mini donuts that I only tried half of. The waitress was nice and gave my best friend a free shot to celebrate her getting married which was a perk❤️ #sweethearttohawkins

Okay, let me tell you something. A lot of people do reviews, but they don't always give you their real, authentic reaction. This place, though, this place is different. What do I mean by that? Check out the pic of Federales in Nashville, TN. They've got some good stuff going on. The food is amazing, seriously. You could probably pay a lot more if you wanted to, but they're not trying to rip you off. You get a lot for your money. In the comments, let me know if you've ever been somewhere where you can get unlimited mimosas and brunch for $25, and then $25 for bottomless drinks? You can eat food, listen to live music, and a DJ. You can go during the day or later. They have a happy hour menu, and the bartenders are awesome. You gotta be 21, of course, unless you're just gonna chill. But hey, to each their own. I really like this place, the vibe is electric. All kinds of people, all walks of life, everyone's just vibing out. Seriously, if you're looking for one of the hottest spots in the Nashville area, Federales Nashville is it.

This is the second Federales we have visited, the first being in Denver, RiNo district. We didn’t realize it was the same when we arrived, but as soon as we did, we realized it was the same and were reminded of how spicy the food was during our visit to Denver. We decided to give it another try. We arrived right before noon on a Friday, and the place was completely empty. This is a large place, with a very large bar, so it is a good option if you do not have reservations on a busy day. We sat at the bar, and were promptly greeted by the bar tender, ordered two beers, and chips and salsa arrived quickly. Their chips are seasoned, but not overly seasoned. The salsa leans more medium spice level but has a good flavor and is chunkier. My wife and I each ordered two tacos, pork and pineapple, barbacoa chicken, and baja (fish), and a side of rice and beans. The food arrived quickly, was presented well, and the tacos were full. The tortillas were too thick for us. As we remembered, the food was spicy, including rice and beans. I can tolerate high levels of heat, so it was fine for me, but my wife found it too spicy. If you could have some options on spice level, this place could be five stars. The outdoor area would be nice during warmer days, and the bar and restaurant are very big.

Amazing brunch! Food was amazing, staff is friendly, the manger even makes rounds and is a great person to talk with. Laid back atmosphere, trendy and the patio feel with the roll back roof makes you feel like it is not stuffy in closed building. The frozen espressos are a staple. And the shuttle to downtown is free! Great food - great staff- great atmosphere … cannot ask for anything more.

LOVED how there was mini donuts, fruit, and coffee set up for guests to help themselves. Service was excellent! Bottomless mimosas were filled in a timely manner and empty plates were cleared quickly to make room for more rounds of food and drinks. The queso is to die for! I also appreciate how I was able to order a Bloody Mary and then switch to mimosas. The different flavored juices were fun to play around with pairing with the champagne. Restroom was clean as well. I went with 3 friends and we each paid $85 total, definitely worth the hype.
