Low-key joint serving up Tex-Mex fare & buckets of beer in a space with minimal decor & a big patio.

SATCO is the locals word to refer to San Antonio Taco Company. This place is a Nashville Legend and is located across the street Vanderbilt University’s Owen School of Business. The food here is excellent. They operate on a principle of keeping it simple. You can choose proteins and toppings for your tacos. They also serve chips and queso with a variety of hot sauces. Do not miss the opportunity to come to this Nashville Legend. This place is not fancy, just awesome. Has a great outdoor seating area for beautiful weather days.

SATCO is a gem. Food is always delicious no matter what I order or how busy it is. I love ordering using the cards, it’s so easy and always accurate. This is the best place for tacos, and the guac is SO good!!

The first place that came close to.Tex Mex. The.owner was really cool but wasnt bringing the puffy taco to Tennessee. Thats okay because the tortillas were rocking. The. Beef is the tex mex chilli style meat with so much flavor. The smoked pork is tender and delicious. The chicken taco was my favorite. The queso was great had a torch torchy’s vibe. The chips were crisp and the salas…..omg the salsa was super fresh tasting. I absolutely recommend going here for a bite. Its a cute place inside or out. The only down fall is parking. We had hell parking but it is worth the headache and walk. By the way my husband had to walk in a cast and said he would do again. Lol.

I’ve been going here for years. They have a vast array of tacos ,and they are all fantastic,especially the regular ground beef tacos. The tortillas are made fresh,and are extra thick. They have a salsa and Pico de Gallo bar that takes it over the top! The queso is made from scratch, and it’s my favorite over anywhere else. You have total control of what you do and don’t want on your tacos,since you fill out a checklist style order form. All around fantastic place, consistently, for years.

As a Texan in need of good Tex mex, this hits the spot. While it doesn’t quite invoke the same nostalgia, it is still leagues better than other spots. The staff was also super nice and the format of filling out your order was very unique. We came around 7 on a Saturday and there was no wait. Next time I’m in Nashville I’ll definitely have to come back!

I’ve read some of the reviews and I think people are expecting Uncle Julio’s. This is a taco joint. T-A-C-O’s. Not a Michelin ranked restaurant with wait staff. You fill out your own order card with a pencil on paper. It’s basic, nothing fancy, but it’s really good. Meat is flavored well, everything is fresh, and again, it’s tacooooo’s. Not bowls, not fajitas, not quesadillas. Not anywhere near Chipotle. Go in with the right mind set. Then you can really enjoy it for the whole experience. You won’t be disappointed. Again….. taco’s.

San Antonio Taco is certainly unique. You grab an order form when you walk in, fill out what you want (pencils provided) and bring it to the register. You pay there and the food follows pretty quickly on a tray, for you to take to the table of you choosing.
This is not fancy by any means and seems like more of a college hangout given it’s proximity to The Vanderbilt campus. It does have a level of charm in some way. You can tell it’s been around for a while. There is indoor and outdoor seating on the patio. You will be unable to find a table outside that isn’t warped. The glow of the neon added to the vibe.
The chicken tacos were small but tasty and for the price you could certainly order a few. The chips were good, but not great. Many were busted up into small pieces (probably the bottom of the bag). There were beer options some of which paired well with the menu options.
Overall a good spot for quick eats, that taste good and at an affordable price!

What happened⁉️
I used to love this place… stale crunchy taco shells and tortilla chips…ground beef that tasted weird (bad), and not like taco seasoned meat.
The beef in the steak tacos tasted slightly like peppers, which is good, but had no seasoning other than that… and way overcooked, tough, and chewy. Had to be the cheapest cut of beef they could find to cook.
If the cheese dip is not different then it must not have been good. Tasted like old cheese whiz.
Y’all ain’t using the same seasoning or cooking it the same way you did a couple years ago. None of it tasted the same as it used to.
Took two bites of each of everything and quit.
Seriously. What happened?! New owners?
Used to stop here every time I went downtown or near Vanderbilt.
Used to be SO good.
So disappointed.
$20 for that? ♂️
If Taco Bell is better, and that place sucks, something ain’t right.
Not making this mistake again.

Great location with outdoor seating. Food may have been better if we had gotten here at the height of the rush maybe but the steak was well done, the chicken was just not good, looked like boiled and pulled chicken breast with black pepper on it. The tortillas were probably the best tortillas in the area though. If the food was better I’d be back.
