    Great food and vibe but the general manager must be deaf as the music was so overpowering...and this was at 7pm too. It's a shame because the food was delicious and our server was solid. The college football games were up as well but trying to have a conversation was difficult. Hope that helps.

    High energy, even early on a Saturday night with the DJ just a bit too loud. However, the vibe was fun, service was good, margaritas seemed mass produced but decent and the tacos were bigger and tastier than expected. Next time, in cooler temperatures, we’ll enjoy the patio! All in all, a good, fun option for straightforward Mexican food in The Gulch area.

    Such a fun and vibrant atmosphere! Being able to try so many different menu items since it’s small plates is such a good deal for the price. I’ll always recommend Federales for brunch!

    Best Mexican food since moving to Nashville - great vibe, tacos & margarita's and all were excellent and the service was outstanding. Place to party with friends, environment not as suited for conversations - music is loud and acoustics were a bit rough... but we will return with friends and take them up on their brunch menu on Saturday - looks amazing!
