Social Cantina Nashville

I got the pollo con arroz which was a fairly different take than what I’m used to with cilantro lime rice and fried chicken. It was delicious! My boyfriend got the tacos. From left to right, cheeseburger, ahi tuna, fiesta shrimp, and steak. His favorite was the tuna and shrimp. They have a cute interior, outside seating, and I loved the music they played. Margaritas were great as well. Highly recommend!

Before you go, just know that you will have to pay for parking. There is a parking garage nearby, which is your best option. There is also street parking, but it’s free only if you’re lucky enough to find a spot which is very unlikely. When we first walked in, it looked pretty empty since we went in the evening. There weren’t many people there at first. We did end up waiting quite a while for someone to take our drink order, but I believe the restaurant manager noticed this and was kind enough to offer us a free appetizer, which we really appreciated. We went on a Tuesday, which is Taco Tuesday all tacos are $3 each. The free appetizer we received was the esquite with chips, and it was really good. We also ordered pineapple margaritas during happy hour (3 PM–6 PM). We did have to wait a long time for our food, and we ordered tacos. However, overall the service was amazing, especially from the manager. Our waitress was clearly overwhelmed because she was the only one working—she was handling all the tables and the bar. I honestly felt bad for her, but she still did her best and stayed kind and professional. The atmosphere was nice. They play music it’s not too loud, but you can definitely hear it and enjoy it. The restaurant is also accessibility-friendly, with both booths and tables available. Overall: good vibes, good food, and great management support despite being understaffed. If you go, I definitely recommend going on a Tuesday for the $3 tacos 🌮.

The manager Rachel is the best! She is really attentive and very articulate! It was my first time there and she helped me pick the perfect foods to avoid my food allergy! I will most definitely be coming back with my family! Thank you!

Social Cantina was a good little lunch spot during the workday. You can park in the apartment building that social cantina is located in, but they do charge for parking by the hour. I got three different tacos, one of which was a shrimp and corn special that was delicious And their Korean barbecue which I also really enjoyed. The third was a traditional taco that was just fine. The queso was pretty good and the chips were decent. It was pretty empty inside of the restaurant, but I hope that it picks up as it is a relatively new restaurant in the Germantown area.

Great lunch right before the Sounds game. The chicken rice bowl was delicious and my husband loved his tacos. Don’t skip the chips and salsa! Our waiter, Duncan, was so helpful and nice! Would definitely recommend, and we’ll be back.
