Located in the heart of Nashville’s West End, Little Rey brings bold Northern Mexican flavors to a beloved corner of the city. The transformation of this single-story building breathes new life into a space that stood for more than two decades. What was once a dated restaurant shell is now a vibrant, fast-casual dining destination full of character and warmth.

Exterior Renovations Creating a Welcoming Dining Experience

Outside, the team restored the original façade, redesigned the entryway for a more welcoming arrival, and added a roof covering to the existing patio for year-round use. The previously underutilized rear yard was reimagined as a lively outdoor dining area, extending the restaurant’s energy into the open air.

Little Rey’s design balances modern functionality with an unmistakable sense of place. The result is a space that feels both familiar and fresh, reflecting the restaurant’s ethos of approachable food done exceptionally well.
