The Dominican fried cheese paired perfectly with the plate as well. It was crispy on the outside but so soft on the inside . The fresh juices are a must! They offer indoor and outdoor seating.

We walked in and weren't greeted or even properly acknowledged. The only indication that he knew we…read morewere there was when he loaded a menu onto the dark screen above our heads. I asked if there was some type of combo meal, and he simply said, "No." I looked up the menu on Yelp, showed him a photo, and discovered there actually was a sampler that I was able to order. He rang up our order without speaking to us at all and then went to the back to cook the food. When he returned, I asked for sauce. He replied, "Yes," and pointed to the bag. That was the only other time he spoke to us. The entire interaction was bizarre. His demeanor was sullen, and he showed no basic courtesy or customer service. To make matters worse, one of the empanadas was almost empty, which was very disappointing. The food itself was very good, but not nearly good enough to make up for the lack of communication, poor customer service, and the uncomfortable, awkward atmosphere we both experienced throughout our visit.

I walked into the Plaza Mariachi center looking for lunch. A beautiful young lady cheerfully took my order, which was processed quickly and efficiently. I decided to try the hamburger and the chicken wings. The hamburgesa was a thick, half-pound beef patty cleverly seasoned with a brilliant flavor. It came with a fried egg, a buttered bun, lettuce, and tomato. Admittedly, I was also hoping for the pico, cotija, and remolade that appear as toppings on the menu version. They were absent, and they might simply be out of certain condiments as the coronavirus persists. But that didn't detract from the satisfying taste! The chicken wings are smoked until tender, and then fried for a lovely crisp red exterior. Oh they were delicious! They were missing the tequila lime dressing, perhaps another casualty of the pandemic. It's not uncommon to alter one's menu these days. But they were undeniably tasty! A nice surprise were the hand-cut potatoes that accompanied both entrees, fried just enough for that crispy edge while soft and tender on the inside. I think almost any dish will come with these little gems. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Tres Gauchos!

The potatoes here are so perfectly crispy on the outside & hot & soft on the inside, something you'll want to replicate at home for sure. The real shining star of the menu i think is the hamburger. The patty has to be higher grade sirloin & the seasoning is perfect. they top it with a perfectly cooked egg, delicious bread & standard burger fixings. My wife & i have both had it & think its a top 5 burger in Nashville even when compared to places like the Pharmacy, Gabbys, & other known burger joints. Large portions & better quality food than you'd probably imagine for a food court type location.

The total was $14, and it's great that you get to mix and match any two for $14. I was a little bit, disappointed by how salty the empanadas were. I felt like I was sprinkling lime juice in using the cream sauce, just to dull down the saltines rather than for the flavor. The beef and cheese empanada was a bit oily, but less salty, whereas the shrimp empanada was quite salty. I was, however, quite impressed by the yucca fries. Those were very well seasoned, and had a sweetness to them. That was really pleasant! I definitely wanted to like this place a lot more than I did, especially given the hype around them.

One of the most colorful food trucks in the Nashville area, this is an Columbian empanada paradise. My understanding is the empies are all gluten free, as well, which is a bonus. Well done beef empanada. One of the best I have had in my life (the best being Empa Mundo in Irving, Texas). Seems like a simple thing, but the empie, the unique mix of beef, gouda, and spices, and the sauce just work. Simple comfort food, but well done. I would also consider adding on an Avo-Tomato salad or Platano Maduro to round out the meal. Drinks also very authentic for the type of food. Look at their social media to see where they are this week. Basement East is one of their normal haunts.

There were a few different stuffing options for the empanadas, and I went with the spicy beef! I liked it a lot! Only taking away a star because I think it could've been more full, but it was yummy! Of course, they give you the option to warm it up, so that's always nice! I think even more impressive is the design of the cafe! The bright pink/fuchsia as the primary color is so eye-catching and pretty! And the way everything is laid out, from the drinks to cookies and even danishes, is all super neat! Everything was super clean and efficient! For a quick bite at the airport, it did what it needed to do!

So, in the [redacted] number of years in which I left Florida and moved to Nashville, I have been on the hunt in Middle Tennessee to replicate the flavors and food I enjoyed in the 305. I'm still looking. It was a new year and I was feeling adventurous. Some yelpers had made mention of a new(ish) Venezuelan spot in Antioch and I wasn't doing much on a Friday night so... I drove south to see what was what. The strip mall Totuma is in has a few Latin American restaurants so if you're looking for sazon, you can take a trip around the plaza and have something new for a while. I parked and walked in with excitement. I was greeted with a sigh, shrug and a not-so-inviting look. Had traffic not been so bad I would have walked out. Maybe I should have. First impressions have a lot of power and my first impression was that I was unwelcome in that place. Trying to power through, I approached the young woman at the hostess stand and tried to engage in some friendly small talk. Nope. Not interested. This was getting worse. Not wanting to continue the pain, I ordered, paid, sat, and waited for my food. The dining room wasn't very busy which allowed me to feel the burn of her stare. I don't know what the problem was but I was beginning to wonder if it was me. Mercifully, my food was ready. The hostess dropped at at the table I was sitting without a word. Cool. I drove home in a bit of a funk. Food is nourishment, yes, but I can (should) also make you feel good. I was not feeling good. I got home with hopes that my belly would take over for my feelings. The double order of papa yuca started things off well. The best I can describe this is yuca balls with cheese. As most things fried with cheese, these were good. Not great. Good. But at this point, I would take 'good.' For my main, I had a trio of arepas: shredded beef, chicken and pork. The arepas were a good size and each came with a generous portion of meat. But all three meats were incredibly salty to the point of being inedible... and I can eat a lot of not-so-great things. Coupled with the overwhelming salt bomb, the food tasted devoid of emotion. It sounds dumb to say but you can sense when food is made with passion/love/fervor. You can also sense when it's not there. It wasn't there. The search continues.

When I went, the kiosk ordering system indicated they were out of beef and cheese empanadas.
