The Queso Connection

Nectar is one of those places where queso doesn't have to carry the entire meal. This little converted-house cantina in Donelson has tacos, juices, coffee, smoothies and a big backyard built for lingering, but the poblano queso has developed its own following. For maximum dipping research, order the Mexican Flag: salsa verde, poblano queso and fire-roasted tomato salsa lined up with house corn tortilla chips. And here's the sleeper move I found in their own reviews: someone orders the Verde Rice topped with queso and calls the combination “chef's kiss.” Consider that field intelligence.
