Federales Tacos & Tequila Opens in Nashville's Gulch

Federales Tacos & Tequila has officially opened its doors in Nashville's Gulch neighborhood at 636 Division Street. The grand opening took place on April 5, 2025, featuring a special promotion where the first 100 guests received $100 gift cards for future visits.

Established in Chicago's West Loop in 2016 by the Four Corners hospitality group, Federales has expanded to Denver, Dallas, and now Nashville. The restaurant is celebrated for its authentic Mexican cuisine, offering a variety of tacos such as pork belly al pastor, shredded beef brisket, and a plant-based Nashville hot cauliflower option. The menu also includes an extensive selection of tequilas and signature cocktails.

A distinctive feature of Federales is its open-air design, boasting a retractable roof and large glass garage-style doors that seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. The expansive patio is adorned with local artwork, enhancing the lively atmosphere.

For those interested in experiencing the opening celebrations, several videos capturing the event are available online. Notably, TikTok user @nashloveletter shared a video highlighting the ambiance and offerings of the new establishment.
