Every year Nashville hosts a Taco Festival in the late summer, usually in September. The warm end of the season heralds one last hoorah from the taco-loving crowd, sending us all into the holiday season with a full belly and bright eyes. Still, as winter melts into the sunshine of spring, we find ourselves with a hankering for those handheld eats once again – with no festival in sight. We decided to give you a DIY taco crawl, giving you the best spots in the city without the hooplah and fanfare.
There’s also no ticket price – you’re about to try the best tacos in Nashville. Happy eating, folks!
