really solid food and solid coffee. very fun music theme and good veggie options. Service is always kind and speedy. They have both indoor and a little bit of outdoor seating. Very casual vibe. All food is played on paper plates. Their scramble breakfasts are fantastic & the breakfast tacos are delish ! read more

If you know me, I'm always looking for a hidden gem! Tempo is such a hidden gem with amazing breakfast tacos (and lunch tacos) and drinks. The Mexican hot chocolate latte 1000/10!! Wow! It's not too sweet, but flavorful and doesn't make the latte too milky. I'm obsessed with this and I would recommend it hot for the flavors. Their tacos are reallllly good. Something about their crispy potatoes in the tacos. My favorite is the chorizo potato taco since the chorizo is packed of flavors and with the crispy potatoes, it hits differently. You can also build your own tacos with whatever fillings you want. Trust me on those potatoes in your taco! This spot is also cool because I saw there's a stage for music events here at the cafe. read more

This was a recommendation from the Crema coffee shop. When we walked up, it looked like it wasn't open. The fluorescent lights inside are harsh. Ordered two bacon and egg tacos and one sausage egg and cheese taco. No drinks since we already had coffee (although their coffee drinks did look good and were being made quickly). No one in line when I walked up and not many customers in the store when I ordered. The tacos took 28 min to come out and they forgot my cheese - that I paid extra for. I cannot understand what they were doing back there that took almost 30 min to put together especially considering there wasn't a backlog of orders in front of mine?? The tacos were fine. If I lived in the area, probably wouldn't go back for the food but would maybe try a coffee. read more

Tempo Nashville - Sausage egg and no cheese (I ordered cheese) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Zaila was so friendly and informative (not bias at all ) this place has great food, vibe and people. She was telling me that they have live music and different events, The tacos were even better than I remembered. I had cheese, eggs and bacon. The salsa is delish! It's not on the thick side but juicy and perfect for slurping, ha! (Sorry mom). The potatoes are good too. Honestly you can't go wrong with the food. I also got the Dirty Horchata (thank God I have self control) it's addictive and should come with a warning. Definitely worth the stop. They are in a shopping center next to a laundry mat on Nolensville Road closest to the Geodis Park Stadium. I can't find the picture with the events but check their socials! Definitely come check them out!! read more

Tempo is a staple of mine almost weekly whenever I'm around town! I love their Iced Mexican Mocha latte with a hint of cinnamon. Their breakfast tacos are also incredibly tasty and pretty filling. I love their Tex Mex offerings! Love their space and plenty of seat options that make it a great place to work, read, or simply enjoy a delicious bite w a friend! Staff is friendly and kind and remember a familiar face. read more

Tempo is such a gem. Coffee and tacos--say no more! The staff are genuinely friendly, and the little outdoor patio is perfect, especially if you want to bring your dog along. I tried the bean & cheese burrito and the potato & cheese burrito--both were tasty, but the potato one goes down in the books as my favorite. read more

Tacos and coffee are arguably my two favorite food groups ... so finding a local spot that does both well is a BIG deal. I met a friend here for a late breakfast/early lunch earlier this week and I am still thinking about this hidden gem in South Nash. Parking is easy (and free) in the attached lot. I read up on the owners before stopping by, and I love that their family is actually from Texas. They even source their coffee beans from Houston. Breakfast tacos are a Tex-Mex staple, and Tempo has a wide variety of options available at a great price. I went with one Potato & Bean taco and one Potato & Chorizo taco, along with a Vanilla Oat Latte at the recommendation of my friend. Everything was delicious - and two tacos was the perfect amount of food for brunch. The cafe itself wasn't too busy ... and the service was friendly and fast! I can definitely see myself stopping by Tempo for some more tacos soon. read more

This is a great place to get tacos and coffee. They have are super fast and friendly service. Be sure to check the hours on their socials, because they are not correct on Yelp or Google. I want to say they close at 2pm always. They have a stage set up so I think on some days they offer live music. They have tons of seating inside and extra parking in the back. Tempo is worth checking out for the yummy authentic tacos. read more

Tempo Nashville - Horchata & Dirty Horchata - Tex-Mex Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Fantastic delicious Fast service. Clean environment. Friendly staff and also very helpful in answering questions

If you are looking for a quality delicious and fast tacos, tempo is the way to go. I definitely recommend ordering from the app, even if you plan on dining in because it's just smoother and faster. They have communal style seating or a bunch of tables if you want to sit with your party. They make their own tortillas in house. The egg and chorizo taco is definitely a crowd pleaser, I love the bean cheese and egg. If you want an extra treat the cheesy potatoes are to die for! It is a larger portion so recommend sharing as a side. I was surprised at the quality of their coffee, so good! And they also make an in house tea that is super refreshing: also, if you have a sweet tooth. They have a variety of coffee syrups like horchata such a treat. I love this place! read more

Delicious Breakfast Tacos! I finally got to try breakfast inside the Tempo restaurant after having eaten their tacos at many NSC soccer games. So glad I went, and I plan to go back again soon. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos, and that was the perfect amount of food for me. Each taco came with what seemed like the maximum amount of fillings the tortillas could hold! The steak and egg taco was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and the eggs were just firm enough to hold the taco together. I added some spicy ketchup and it was perfect. The Potato & Chorizo taco needed no additional sauce. It was perfectly seasoned and will definitely be my go-to taco next time I visit. The restaurant was super clean and the staff were friendly. The menu is focused and a bit limited, but everything on it is tasty. I strongly recommend Tempo for breakfast tacos! read more

Excellent coffee. Good looks great. It did take person I know a while to get his good however

This was so delicious! I'm so glad I finally got to try this place out. The coffee was absolutely delicious and the tacos were the perfect size. I got two and was full enough for breakfast. Definitely would recommend this shop to be people who love a good texmex option and a great cup of coffee. They also do live music inside their restaurant as well. read more

A hidden gem in South Nashville! On Sunday morning for brunch, the line was pretty short and we were served our breakfast tacos reasonably quickly. The potato wedges are cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, adding a fantastic texture to each bite. The tortilla was soft, the complementary salsa fresh and tangy, and the other taco ingredients all very tasty. Will be back! read more

I reviewed this place like 3 years ago as "superb", and I always like to revisit places for a while to see if they hold on to what makes them special. Well, without a doubt, Tempo is still "superb". I'll elaborate more this round by saying it's not only a piece of Texas, but they are consistent and genuine in every respect. Pulling excellent espresso shots, you never miss a beat with any coffee drink, absolutely outstanding! And, I believe it's the ONLY place in Nash that makes an authentic Mexican mocha. Chill atmosphere and I love the deconstructed piano made for condiments ha. They make great hot sauces and even carry this amizod smoked sauce that is possibly the best I might have ever had. You can tell that the family running it really cares and you couldn't find more friendly people. Definitely in the top 3 breakfast spots in town. Texas plate--chorizo eggs, beans and taters into tortillas from scratch! read more

Best breakfast tacos in town. They are super simple but simply delicious. I am partial to the bean and cheese breakfast tacos, though I also love the bacon, egg, and cheese taco. The tortillas are legit and not just something out of a bag. The coffee is good, too. And the staff is always friendly. Note the hours. They close at 2pm and are closed a couple of weekdays. read more

Tempo Nashville is the ultimate COVID-safe coffeehouse! I have only started going to Tempo Nashville recently, so I've never been inside the building. They have completely shifted to curbside service and it couldn't be easier! I order through the website just a few minutes before I want to go and then everything is ready when I get there! When you arrive, you text them that you are there and a friendly masked employee brings your order to your car. It really couldn't be simpler! The iced chai latte is my favorite drink! Tempo uses Chai Wallah concentrate for their latte which is the best chai in Nashville in my opinion. I had been missing their chai after not seeing their stand in a little while. I was so happy to find a coffeehouse that offers them regularly! read more

3.5 I am rounding up for a few reasons. 1.) I am always psyched to see new businesses pop up in this part of town. 2.) I am always psyched to see new-to-Nashville cuisines make their mark (true blue Texas-style breakfast tacos are hard to come by in the 615). 3.) I am always psyched to see a diverse coffee menu. From Vietnamese sweet drips to Australian flat whites, there's more going on than meets the eye. Tempo Nashville is worth the visit. Given the hours, I came here for a breakfast meeting. Happy to find plentiful parking (they share a lot), I was the first person to walk through the doors (at least, at that time). By the time I left, though, there were plenty of people noshing and having conversations. Despite being the only non-employee in the space for a minute, I never felt uncomfortable. That's because I was greeted by the chef/owner and by the ladies behind the counter. Everyone was very polite and cheery and that makes a big difference -- especially in the coffee shop space. My friend arrived and we got to the business of ordering. I was hungry and knew I wouldn't be eating for a while so I ordered the scramble. It's a plate order that comes with eggs topped with cheese and mixed with onions, peppers, salsa, and your choice of meat (always choose chorizo), beans, potatoes, and tortillas (either corn or flour). I was going to have a Texas sweet tea but then I noticed the latte flavor options. Apple cinnamon? Yes. I'll take that. Because it was early in the morning, my brain forgot to make me ask/look for hot sauce. Amateur mistake. Before too long, the food and drink was ready. I made tacos from the two tortillas I had and ate the rest of the plate with a fork. Like I mentioned, I flaked on the hot sauce but that could have really amped up the plate for me. The chorizo had a great taste and texture (it can be tricky) and the potatoes are as good as advertised. My latte wasn't as successful. I had it made with almond milk and, while beautiful to look at, I found the flavor to be a bit 'tinny' and I didn't pick up on the apple cinnamon notes. Next time I'll hit the horchata or Mexican hot chocolate. Tempo Nashville wasn't a slam dunk for me but there were enough nice things going on that I look forward to returning. I love seeing businesses trying new things in different parts of town. All you Texas transplants, have at it. I think this may be your favorite new spot. Non-Texans, fear not. There's plenty for you to enjoy as well. read more

Verdict: 3.5 stars. I'll round up because I wanted to like it so much, but the tacos were really just okay. The horchata was phenomenal, though my wife's latte was just okay. Being from Texas, my wife and I can appreciate a good taco. When our Texan friends who live in Nashville told us Tempo had amazing breakfast tacos, we had to check it out. First off, the inside is very minimalist, which is fine with me. They have a really cool old piano that serves the water. Parking is definitely not an issue, with spots in the front and some in the back. Service was impeccable as well. They told us it would be a bit because they had just gotten a large taco order, but everyone was super polite and made easy conversation with us. We started off with a latte for my wife and an horchata for me. The latte was nothing to write home about, but the horchata was the best I've ever had. Just mhmm good. Food-wise, we got a Texas scramble with chorizo, a potato and egg taco and a chorizo and egg taco. We were kinda disappointed all around. While the scramble was okay, the tacos were relatively flavorless and the salsa didn't add much to the equation. Needless to say, we were sorely disappointed, maybe because we came in with high expectations. I honestly don't know if we'll be back; maybe if we can convince ourselves to give it another try? We'll see. read more

I was in the area after an appointment and needed to start working, luckily tempo was down the road and so I figured I'd finally give them a try! When I walked in, I found lots of free seating, and a very kind and patient stuff ready to take my order! It took me a second to order, but I ended up getting the café Sua Da (Vietnamese Coffee) and three egg and potato tacos - even better, it felt like the food came out seconds after I ordered it, always a great sign especially when you're really hungry. The Vietnamese coffee was amazing, right up to par with many of the Vietnamese restaurants that I've been to in town and the tacos hit absolutely different - pro tip: pair it with their green sauce! After all of that, I went back and got a an iced, and it was absolutely delicious, they mentioned that they had just switched to a new vendor, and I'm really glad they did because it was so flavorful! On top of all this, they have a great space for working from home or getting homework done! I sat at the bar and they had a outlet right there, I don't see that very often and I definitely helped because my battery was not fully charged. Wi-Fi was very fast and gave me no issues. I definitely see myself coming back here when I'm in the area! read more

As a Texan living in Nashville for the last 2.5 years, it continues to blow my mind that breakfast tacos just aren't really a thing here. You can find them at a few places, but they're not everywhere (in Texas, they're EVERYWHERE). So it was time for a place to fill that gap! And here enters Tempo! Tempo was opened by a San Antonio native - a drummer who moved to Nashville for his music. It has a simple menu - a scramble with frijoles and potatoes and a few kinds of breakfast tacos. It's also a full coffee shop. So we ordered a few breakfast tacos (bean and cheese and bacon, egg, and cheese), a latte, a cappuccino, and a Topo Chico. And it was a little bit of home! I'm pretty sure the tortillas are made in house (you walk past the small kitchen area when you walk in), which is great. And the salsa we asked for on the side was very good, as well. The service was great. And the place itself is cool. I write a lot of reviews where I write "I'm looking forward to another visit to X restaurant" or something similar. But before we had even left Tempo, my husband was already texting people: "BREAKFAST TACOS IN NASHVILLE" and inviting people to come with us next time we visit. So this time, I won't say I'm looking forward to visiting again - I know I'll be back soon. Very soon, probably! read more

A little seasoning goes a long way. I ordered 2 bacon and egg tacos and expected it to be seasoned and come with a little cheese and maybe a little crema fresca? Nope! The eggs weren't even seasoned with salt and they just slapped a few pieces of bacon on top and served it on a taco tortilla. It was very tasteless and salsa didn't help much. The tortilla was really good though. I also ordered a vanilla iced latte and that was really good! There was no wait, which was good because we were able to get in and out. The food comes out relatively fast and the staff is friendly. The food is just so bland so I wouldn't come back. read more

FINALLY. Auténticos desayunos Tex-Mex. My new breakfast spot. As a Tejana that has to navigate dining out with Lupus, I'm stoked that they have almond flour tortillas as an option. If you've never had almond flour tortillas before, they're like wheat flour tortillas for people that are celiac or have autoimmunity. They taste like the real deal too - you won't miss wheat flour tortillas. If you're truly celiac you should ask for them to not warm the tortillas due to cross contamination potential. read more

This place is awesome!! I walked in looking for some tacos, and was greeted with simple but amazing flavors. I went with a potato & egg taco, and a potato & chorizo taco.

Y'all. This place is a great little hidden gem off Nolensville. The tacos are BOMB. I had the egg and potato taco and it was the best thing I've ever eaten. The coffee was good.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Nashville. I don't daydream about breakfast tacos from anywhere else in this city. When women write about tacos in their dating profiles, this is the glorious tortilla-wrapped joy they're talking about. The tortillas and salsa are both homemade and otherworldly. (My usual taco order is egg and potato.) They also get baked goods from local bakers (I need to look up who) and all I'm saying is when they have donuts, you need to do yourself a solid and get *at least* one. Not sure if it's the shape of the room or what, but even when it's busy in there, it's not terribly loud. Tempo is what a local morning hangout should be. The coffee is amazing (try the dirty horchata), the music they is always great to work to, and the staff are thoughtful and sweet. read more

I moved to Nashville 6 months ago have tried a Mexican restaurant every week in a desperate attempt to find something that can even slightly resemble the food from my hometown of San Antonio. When I ate the bean and cheese tacos at Tempo, I nearly cried. I truly felt transported back to my childhood breakfasts before school. The tortillas are definitely homemade and authentic. I had the Mexican mocha latte, which was perfectly flavored and clearly was made by an experienced barista. The owner took my order and the service was very fast. The ambience is really lovely as well. They have a piano converted into a drink and salsa station, tables with church pew seating, and soft inviting lighting. They also have a small stage which I assume they use for live music, which I'll definitely come back for. I'm so so grateful someone serves quality breakfast tacos in this city, and am definitely becoming a regular here. read more

Tempo is bringing the TexMex-style breakfast to Nashville and I am here for it. I like that they do curbside service (safe in COVID times) and have an easy online ordering system for convenience. If you do want to order a weekend breakfast just be ready for about an hour wait, so I would order before you're even hungry. I ordered a salted caramel cappuccino and two breakfast tacos. The breakfast tacos start out pretty basic but then you can add more things onto them to make them exactly what you want. The add-ons appear to be .50 or $1 more depending on the add-on. I ordered one chorizo and egg taco and added cheese then one potato and bean taco and added sausage and cheese. They give you salsa on the side, which I appreciated. When you arrive you text them then they come out and deliver the order. I was on-time but my food and drink were nice and hot. I will definitely be back for their delicious breakfast, what a treat! read more

My review of this place from 2 years ago was 5 stars. Unfortunately, that is not longer accurate. Tempo has gone downhill. Buyer beware, the peppers and onions are added to the taco raw (ew) and the salsa that you have to pay a whole dollar for now is a tiny little plastic taster cup. Cashier was also not kind. So sad :( read more

The tortillas and the steak and that flat white. Oh. My. I can't wait to return. This place feels like love.
