Chef Edgar Victoria and his Mexico City-style tacos have been regular Best of Nashville winners in a variety of categories since Victoria started slinging street food in town. This year, he opened a brick-and-mortar Alebrije (in addition to the continuing pop-up at Never Never). Everything on the menu is made from scratch, including the tortillas, made with nixtamal masa from heirloom corn. Alebrije’s menu, in general, is a bargain. The Taco Box, which includes one of each of the tacos (pastor, carnitas, pollo and asada) at a discounted price, is a bonus on top of that.
Past Best of Nashville wins: Alebrije also took Best Creative Menu (2025), Best Taco (2023), Best Small Plates (2023) and Best Food Truck (2023) in the Readers' Poll. In our Writers’ Choice they’ve been named Best Roving Mexican Food (2021).
