Best Alt Queso in Nashville 2026: AVO’s Coconut Queso
Whether you like your queso white or American-cheese orange, even the staunchest queso purist has to admit that restaurant-quality dairy-free alternatives have never been better. Queso in point: The coconut queso at AVO, the 100 percent plant-based restaurant in OneC1ty, is dialed in. It’s thick enough to cling but thin enough to have good movement, and the coconut gives it a slight sweetness you wouldn’t notice unless you — hypothetically of course — ate it right off your finger. It’s what brings their cauliflower-walnut-chorizo-laden OG Nachos together. And it’s the sleeper hit of the Save the Animal Style Burger, which deserves a Best of Nashville award for its name alone.
