My husband and I ate at Saint Anejo last night. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. A friendly manager asked for feedback about our experience and to our surprise then had a wonderful dessert brought to our table as a thank you. I was pleased to have some vegetarian options and the veggie quesadilla and black beans were great. The fresh drinks were some of the best that I have ever had. The staff really made it a top notch experience and we will certainly go back! read more

I've been here 5 mins and I already have a drink, chips and salsa. I've been spoken too 4 or 5 times and everyone has a smile. It's the little things that make a difference and this place takes care of all of the little things. Best in Customer Experience and Service. I've been here two times and will definitely come again. read more

Great margaritas! We lovwd the outside patio. I had the Mahi Mahi tacos that were delicious. Staff is very friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

Ironically I've been to this place twice, but never actually eaten here. Both times we have been here, we just gotten drinks. However, the drinks are so good it keeps us coming back. Most recently we were here doing some day drinking. We sat at the bar and ordered some chips and salsa (Ok, I guess we did eat chips and salsa.) Being from Texas, I am pretty particular about my salsa, but this was decent. Needed more heat to it, in my opinion, but the chips were pretty incredible. I ordered a blood orange mimosa and jalapeño moscow mule. My husband ordered one of their tequila drinks and a beer. They have a pretty decent drink selection, friendly servers, and prompt service. I would love to try their food at some point. read more

Three stars because Service was 5 starts -Steph was so cool and attentive Veggie nachos were spectacular Beverages were meh Food needs improvement Okay so we started off on the top floor ordered a few drinks order an app and were happily surprised when we realized we didn't have to wait the 1 hour wait time we were estimated when we walked in. We were seated at our table and asked our super sweet server if she could make sure our nachos made it to our table. And she went on a mini scavenger hunt and found them for us. We were ecstatic. Yummy veggie nachos. Delicious. Chicharrones were in fact pork rind chips out of a bag. I would never order that again -__-. And entrees. So the hot chicken tacos my friend ordered were delish, salmon and salad with grapes were okay (a little strange tasting, we all agreed) BUT the burrito carne mixto was absolutely gross. The chorizo had a really bad taste. I like chorizo. I can pretty much have chorizo at any time of the day. But I couldn't eat the burrito. I literally left the entire thing. I tried to pick out the steak but I was unsuccessful. The dessert, churro was awesome. Overall meh meh read more

We came here for brunch on a Sunday morning around 10:30. Wait was about 20 mins long. You have to try the Hot chicken and waffles! It was absolutely amazing. A great recommendation from our friendly server :) although I did not try one they had a great cocktail menu as well as a a variety of non alcoholic beverages. Overall it was a great experience. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner. I got the lone start burrito filled with the veggies of the day and the street corn. AMAZING. He got five of the street tacos which were also delicious. Our server Taylor was very attentive and helpful when we were ordering. We will definitely come back! read more

We had such a great experience!! The service was the best! One of the girls cut her finger and the manager, server, and bartender came over to help! They went above and beyond. The food was so great as were the drinks! Thanks to the staff for making our trip to Nashville even better! read more

Lebo was an incredible bartender. Such great service. Amazing margaritas!!! Recommend this restaurant for happy hour.

Nashville has so much to offer but for Mexican this is the place to go! The food was beyond delicious, I had the street corn and the tacos cosineros, (i think that what they were called the chicken one and the carnitas) so tasty! The drinks were also very good. As of the food and the drinks weren't enough to impress me the service was impeccable. I look forward to visiting again when I return to Nashville. read more

While the tacos were excellent and our server was very sweet, she should get a job somewhere else. We called ahead for a party of 10 and they said we would get right in, no problem. We arrived 10 minutes later to be told that this was in fact inaccurate, as they have a call center field their phone calls. We waited over an hour just to be seated separately, five and five. The kitchen lost the ticket to one of our tables and the wait time for our drinks was ridiculous. One of our tables was done with their food when the other side hadn't even gotten theirs yet. Great food, but I won't be visiting again. read more

Awesome service from Sara. Food a delight. This place runs like a Swiss watch. We were very satisfied

Went here for a Sunday brunch and morning mimosas. So yummy. A little pricey but fair for atmosphere. Thy had drink specials 2 for 1. Drinks are STRONG but tasty. Would recommend and I plan on returning. read more

This is the second time this month we have been here. The tacos are delicious and the chips and salsa are hard to stop eating. My favorite part is the queso. read more

Okay... so I'm gonna be completely honest with this review.... Today was the second time I came here and I was disappointed yet again. First, as soon as my boyfriend and I walked in from a snow blizzard, we were asked to pull out our IDs with just a foot in the door. It was kinda rude. They should wait til people get to the table. Next, our server was very inattentive. Our drinks ran dry and as I glanced over to see where she was, she was constantly chopping it up with a table that looked like a group of her friends. Now about the tacos, the chorizo one I ordered was so horrible. The crunchy pork skins was a major turn off. The steak one with lime juice was pretty good. And the chicken one was decent. I really want to like this place because it's supposedly one of the best spots in Nashville. Maybe I need to come for brunch because that's what most people are talking about but I'm going to really reconsider the next time I think about trying it. read more

If you have any sort of gluten allergy, do not come here. Their waitresses did not seem on the same page as far as education with food on the menu and we had to send back a meal twice because it had gluten contaminated food after being promised that our food would not contain gluten. Their chips are not gluten free and are fried in the same deep fryer that food with gluten is put in. Staff was friendly and apologetic but it's absolutely unacceptable that after notifying the staff about a member dining with Celiac disease that they were not more conscious about our meals. read more

Terrible service and food Took 2 hrs to be served and then 3 people in group had food poisoning. read more

Nice atmosphere. But busy. Never got our food. Nice bartender but don't come eat here unless you don't want to eat. Basically because my bartender was so nice I'm giving them a one. This place sucks. read more

So upon pulling into M Street (thanks to my Uber driver) I definitely felt like I had been in a coma for 10 years. How did I never know this place existed?!! It's all grown up and fancy now. So my friend and I are sat at a humongous booth. Now, in my feeble patron-mind, sitting a two person party in an 8-person booth is a huge "We're not expecting to be that busy" sign. Made me a bit nervous at first. Our server was nice and attentive - but everything was "a great choice"...so she was definitely just in the salesman mindset. My friend got the Mahi tacos and said they were absolutely delicious. I was in the mood for light fare so I ordered one of the salads. Huge mistake. I could have made a better salad at home - and that is no exaggeration. It was limp, bland, and very disappointing. I got the lime salted fries as a side - I know, it's a weird combo to get at a tex-mex place. They were good - seasoned well and crispy. The drinks were the best part of the meal. And when the checks came, I tried not to focus on the $40 I was paying for a less than mediocre salad. But what did catch my eye was getting charged $6 for fries when the menu says $5. And I know, I know what you're thinking - "it's just one dollar!!" But I'm a cheap person to begin with, and I was raised to believe every dollar counts. So I pointed it out to our waitress and she have me DEATH STARES. Like she couldn't believe I'd bring it up! But, other than that, she was a very pleasant waitress. All in all, I'd go back for drinks...but I'll skip the food. read more

Food: 5 stars Service: 3 stars Water dripping on my friends during dinner: 0 stars I took a girls trip to Nashville this weekend for my bachelorette party and we checked out Saint Anejo for dinner. They must be extremely popular - my friend made reservations months prior for a saturday night and they were already almost booked! Positives: We got our reservation time confused and showed up at 6:30 when our time was actually 7pm. Oops! But they were very gracious and said our table was ready and they could seat us even though we were 30 mins early. The food was so delicious. We had the tres amigos appetizer which was delicious. Everyone raved over the queso and guac, and the black bean dip was very fresh and very spicy. Negatives: It was an extremely humid weekend, which meant the A/C was working double time to keep the restaurant cool, which also meant condensation was dripping through the ceiling on to my friends. Luckily, we had 2 girls drop out of the trip so we had some extra table space and my friends were able to move to a not wet spot, but can you imagine having water constantly drip on you throughout a nice dinner?! They didn't have any extra tables to accommodate our large party, so we were stuck by the water spot. And the staff obviously knew about the issue - there was a water bucket by our table. In my opinion, they should not be seating people right next to a big puddle of water and where water is still falling. The manager stopped by to apologize, but didn't offer any solution nor make up for it by sending a free drink over or one of the cheap apps, which I think would've been very good customer service if she had. However, the staff did know we weren't from Nashville, which likely means we won't be repeat customers, so that could've influenced the service. The food took a long time to come out, too. We had plans at 8:15 and my friend was told it would only take 1 hr for us to eat. Thank goodness we got there 30 mins early because we were cutting it extremely close for our next activity! Highlights: 3 amigos app, korean bbq taco, and ginger+rosemary margarita were all AWESOME. A little pricey, but I thought the food was very good. read more

We just had a fantastic meal at Saint Anejo. I told the waitress about a specialty avocado margarita I had in Dallas. She told the bartender and the gm, Sarah, took up the challenge and reproduced it, then brought to me herself! Talk about personal service! Excellent! The food here is always good. We will be back. read more

I'm with the reviewers who want to give this place 2.5 stars. Saint Anejo is definitely the weakest of the M Street restaurants. I enjoyed the atmosphere and fantastic service. But, like the majority of reviewers have noted, the food is just okay and it is quite overpriced. We enjoyed the chips, salsa, and guacamole. We ordered some grease balls, um, I mean, jalapeño poppers which were a huge disappointment. The surface of the chimichanga was reminiscent of a dried out egg roll wrapper. The lobster tacos were fried---who does that?! The smoked chicken was good. If the burger at Whiskey Kitchen is a 10, this one is about a 6. I am glad Yelp already tipped me off to Saint Anejo offering what may be the world's tiniest margaritas, so I was able to avoid those and enjoy some beer and wine at decent prices and adult sizes! Basically, I don't see a reason to go back. read more

You will have to wait but the brunch is SO worth it! Lots of vegan/vegetarian options--they were able to accommodate my request for custom fillings in my burrito. Friendly service, awesome portions, and 2 for 1 drinks at brunch. read more

Fantastic! Just what an upscale taco place should be. Great food. Great drinks. Great staff.

I'm sure anything I have to say will fall on deaf ears, because people really seem to like this place. WHY?!? I don't drink, so maybe the cocktails help make you forget everything else? The food was just awful. Awful. And expensive. Almost $10 for a side of guacamole? I had the veggie quesadilla's, and they were actually ok -- maybe a little better than ok, actually -- but the portion was on the small side and I was still hungry after I ate them. I ordered an enchilada. It was probably the single worst enchilada I've ever had in my life. It was soupy, it came in a little skillet that made it hard to eat, the corn tortilla shell overpowered any taste the insides might have had. I ate maybe three bites and pushed it aside. Despite being hungry, I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I was still hungry, but didn't order desert because I assumed it would be as awful as the rest of the food. I will never ever ever go back there again. Ever. It's popularity astonishes me when there are so many other great restaurants in Nashville, including the exceptional Adele's, which is a block away. I will say, though, that the staff was uniformly nice. The hostesses were very pleasant and friendly, and the waitress -- Katie -- was attentive and kind and efficient. It's a shame about the food. read more

The best Mexican I've ever had! We ordered street tacos and the chicken quesadillas. I loooved the al pastor street taco, delicious!!! But everything we ate was great there. Our server was great, even though so was busy. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely visit again. read more

Still looking for a really good caliber tex mex restaurant in Nashville. St Anejo is probably above average for Nashville but couldn't compete in dallas,Houston or atlanta. Big fan of pappasito's and the like. ..I'm not sure why we can't get that consistent quality of fajita, chips etc here it can't be that hard. All of that said it has nice decor and my salmon was very good and cooked to order medium rare.my Husband's chicken fajitas were so so .St Anejo is perfectly fine if you are in the vicinity but wouldn't drive to it. I wish they had made it a smaller cozier atmosphere and more 2 tops or small tables..looks like they are expecting large groups only. They have good happy hour prices and appetizers. read more

STELLAR place. All drinks and food are on point. Best Bloody Mary's and Margaritas in all of Nashville. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the salsa selection -- it's a little too funky tasting. read more

Saint Anejo has a cool vibe, so the two stars are for atmosphere. If all you want is a cool hang out and some good drinks, Saint Anejo is the place to be. If you are looking for good service and good Mexican food, however, Saint Anejo is the last place in Nash I would go. No, I take that back, I would just make tacos at home. First, the food. The food is barely Mexican. Just because you put something in a tortilla does not make it Mexican food. My friends got the hot chicken tacos and the reviews were sub par. I got the chicken burrito, and I have to say I was really disappointed. The flavors were not right for Mexican food. The chicken had a weird sweetness to it that did not belong in the flavor profile for a basic chicken burrito. It was just not right. The best thing we tried that night were the shrimp tacos, but those were more asian tasting than Mexican. I'm from San Diego, Ca. I'm very picky about my Mexican food, and for the love of everything holy, all I want in this dang city is some real Mexican food, and Saint Anejo is not the place to find it. Even the guacamole was just ok. I've had a major hankering for some legit Mexican food lately, and this morning I went to Baja Burrito on Thompson just to correct my disappointment with Saint Anejo's sad excuse for Mexican. And I would say that if you are gonna go trendy instead of authentic, it had better be good, and the reviews from my friends with the trendy tacos were no better than mine. I previously had some kind of Lamb mole dish? I think? when they first opened. Again, the flavors were just wrong. It didn't work. I've had multiple experiences with poor service. The staff is always very friendly, but I feel as though they are very inexperienced. Last night, for example, guacamole got to our table before we had water, silverware, or chips to eat the guac with. Our server seemed harried, even though the restaurant only had a few tables. Every time she came to the table she would do ONE thing, and then start to walk away. For example, greet us and then walk away to get waters. She didn't inquire about drink or food orders, even though the regular menu was ending and going to the Late night menu. Then it took her forever to come back. We were ready to order when we sat down but getting her to stay long enough at our table to tell her that was nearly impossible. As a server myself, If I had had that table, it would have made more sense to greet the table with water, take a drink order on the first visit, inquire about any appetizer orders, and if they indicate they are ready to order, take the order then and there, especially if the regular menu is ending (bigger potential price tag!). I totally understand that you can get behind while serving, but that's when you serve "smart" and try to consolidate trips to and from the table...Juuuust a suggestion that might make your life easier. In short, if you want a cool hang out, Saint Anejo is fine. If you want great, legit mexican food....(or dare I say Cali-Mex???? Because it reminds me of the delicious burritos of glorious San Diego on the border of Mexico) ....Go to Baja Burrito off Thompson lane. Soooo legit. I'll take that second guac now. Thanks Baja. read more

I was here recently on a 2-for-1 Wednesday for a birthday party (we were a group of 10) so that may have influenced our experience. First of all, the space is awesome: it was packed for a Wednesday night, but the open layout didn't make it feel suffocating like it would in most other venues. I know that bigger parties can be a handful so I definitely keep that in consideration when ordering and commenting on the service. However we had two waitresses who just did not seem to be on the same page about anything. I got grilled by one waitress on how I ended up with a drink I had ordered with another, which is okay (I've worked food service before and know how hectic it can get) but the whole exchange was weirdly accusatory and awkward. I had the Casa Perfecta margarita ($10) which was part of the 2-for-1 deal. It was good, but pretty small (and honestly, kind of weak) for a ten dollar drink. I was pleased to learn about the happy hour deal but after "cashing in" my coin, I never received my second drink so that was disappointing. I wasn't hungry so I didn't order food, but I had a little of my boyfriend's chicken tinga tacos which were really good. Still overpriced though, in my opinion (I've had just as good if not better for less). I will say that what was really thoughtful was the waitresses automatically offering to split the check. I know that can be a hassle and I was prepared to just chip in to the pot, but that definitely made things easier. The food is good, the drinks are good, but too pricey for portion size. The space is definitely a plus, so if your thing is more to be """seen""" and to enjoy ambience, this might be a good pick. read more

Everything was delicious! I am vegetarian and ordered the lone star burritos with extra peppers and thought it was great! Favorite was definitely the Mexican street corn yummm read more

I really enjoyed this place! The atmosphere was fun and the food was good. The hibiscus margarita was excellent!! It's not your typical Mexican restaurant for sure. I would highly recommend! read more

Great location, excellent food. The whole row of Broadway to this location is filled with excellent restaurants. They all have outdoor patios, fun bars and good food. Saint Anejo is no different. It has excellent Mexican food with some American twist to it. The bar is excellent and the restaurant is very open and hip. It has a beautiful outdoor patio. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food. If you are visiting and want Mexican, a great place to go! read more

My friends and I loved this place, but have recently gone and had horrible experiences with the lack of help and hospitality from the managers. We asked questions about menus that were posted and not being honored, and they were unwilling to help. I suggest going somewhere else if you want to have a decent time and be well served. read more

Saint Anejo, along with the other restaurants on M street, has a trendy bar and a fun atmosphere. I haven't had a chance to try their long list of mixed drinks yet however every one that I have had the chance to try is good! My favorite thing, even more so than the drinks, is the queso dip appetizer!!! You have to try it read more

Ugh why can't I live here! The service was A1! The food was even better! We got a cluster fuck of tacos, guacamole, sangria and corn. They literally had to roll us out we were stuffed! Lol thank God for valet or I'd still be sitting there. Really tho, a great spot! We frequent happy hour but it's a great place for any meal or occasion. read more

Excellent food and Service! Christian the manager was amazing, explaining so much about the concept behind the restaurant. Nice atmosphere! read more

Had a perfect date night here: the drinks were superb (try a la boehme), and dinner was wonderful; they even had some excellent mushroom tacos for my vegan date! The staff was courteous and professional, especially the manager Christen who made us feel welcome and appreciated. I'll be coming back for some half priced tacos on Wednesdays! read more

Great ambiance, margaritas, food, service.... Highly recommend! (Especially on 2 for 1 Wednesdays) I also can't wait for the summer, as I'm sure I will be here all of the time! You have the try the mac and chorizo - it's to die for! read more

Would never go back. Server was not helpful or pleasent. Ordered chicken tacos, tortilla was so old and dry a manager noticed me trying to soften it and replaced them. Still the chicken was all fat, to the point I had to spit my bite out. Lime fries were definitely frozen fries and thus dry and bland. Tacos come with peppers, and old soggy chopped tomato, no sauce, extremely dry. Very disappointed as I love the other M establishments. Waitress's hooteresque t shirts are tacky and take away from the class of the decor and feel, which is lovely. If you want terrible tacos and breasts this is your jam. read more
