Why Guests Love Mesero
what our customers say
We went here for a friend's birthday lunch. For the atmosphere, food, and service, this was one of the best places in Nashville I have been. Jocelyne was the sweetest and most attentive server I have had in a long time! Drinks were fantastic, the salmon tacos were absolutely delicious, and all the staff was incredibly sweet. I cannot speak higher of this place and I will be recommending to everyone I know!

What really made the experience special was our server, Ana. She was one of the best I've had in the U.S.-incredibly friendly, attentive, and present without ever being overbearing.
One awkward moment was when another waitress kept asking Ana-three times-to sing happy birthday while she was in the middle of speaking with us. It felt a bit disruptive, especially since Ana was clearly engaged with guests (us) at the time.
I'd definitely go back. The food, drinks, and service (especially Ana!) made it totally worth it.
