About
Saint Anejo's value proposition is simple and honest: a rooftop bar with a great view, solid margaritas, and Mexican food that does its job without getting in the way. On a warm Nashville evening with the right company, that combination genuinely delivers. The drinks are well-made. The setting is one of the better downtown views you'll find.
The food, however, is bar food in restaurant clothing. The tacos are competent without being interesting. The guacamole is fresh but generic. The larger plates exist to give groups something to share while they focus on the drinks, which is the correct function for this type of operation. The pricing expects you to be paying for the view, which you are.
Nope as a food destination. Worth knowing about as a drinks situation with food attached. If you need Mexican food that's actually trying, Nashville has better options within a short drive.

The rooftop view is the product. The Mexican-inspired menu is functional without being interesting. Order the margaritas and calibrate your food expectations accordingly.
