Pancho & Lefty's Cantina

Had passed by this place several times while on different trips to Nashville. Boy do I wish I had stopped in sooner! My wife and I had the most delicious tacos we have had in quite some time and were able to sit on the rooftop bar next to the street. Looking at this place from the outside is deceiving due to it being small and located right beside an alley with trash dumpsters. We were very pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service from the staff. If I could give any advice to the owners of this place it would be clean up the alley or at least put a privacy gate up so it isn't such an eye sore. Everything else about the visit was excellent and the restrooms were clean.

My girlfriend had raved about this place ever since I met her, so of course it was the first place we went in Nashville. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was even better than she had described! We stared with margaritas and it was easy to see why they had all of the “best margaritas” awards on display. My concerns with eating tacos while so far away from the Southwest were put to ease after the first bite! Meat was expertly cooked, vegetables were crisp and delicious, and the garnishments were flavorful. We ended up coming back the next day and sat on the second floor overlooking the arena which was pleasant, although the food and drink selection is a little bit more limited as you get away from the main kitchen. All in all a place that I will be going back to as soon as I am in Nashville again.

Great place for drinks & cheap tex mex type food. Their food menu is very small, great selection of beer, not many mixed drink options. The salsa is amazing, the cheese isn't traditional Mexican queso but it's still very good. The guacamole was fresh. Service was great especially for being a Friday evening. We sat on the rooftop. It didn't have a spectacular Nashville skyline view but it was a cute little rooftop. I suggest making reservations. There were only a few people on the roof when we arrived at 6:30 but by the time we left at 7:30 all the tables were full. I highly recommend this place.
