Due to paling around with some somewhat-swanky people, I’ve had the opportunity to go to the Gulch’s most trendy
Mexican hot spot a few times, Cantina Laredo. For
the non-Nashvillians, who may not even know what “the Gulch” is, it’s a trendy
spot in downtown Nashville
with lots of condos, restaurants, and bars.
Here’s my short and sweet
restaurant review: This place is way
over-hyped. Their home made salsa is quite
good, but their guacamole, which is what they are supposedly known for, is
bland, and their food is too. I’ve eaten
there twice, and both times I was seriously underwhelmed. The group I ate with the last time all came
out complaining about how bland their entrees were, so I was glad that it wasn’t
just me who felt this way.
I’m not one to be downtown at
the see-and-be-seen times these days, so I’ve heard that Cantina Laredo is one
of those places that trendy hipsters and downtown dwellers go, so I would guess
if you stick to the chips and salsa and margaritas you might be alright,
although when I went this summer, I tried one of their signature margaritas,
and it was nothing special either.
So if you’re around the area
looking for great Mexican food, skip Cantina Laredo. Try Rosepepper Cantina, or TacoMamacita. Nashvillians, help me out,
what other legitimately good Mexican food is out there?
