We were looking for something different for dinner and we found La Cucharita on Yelp. it had good…read morereviews, so we thought we would give it a try. They are located in a little shopping plaza, so there is plenty of free parking. The restaurant is a no-frills, seat yourself type of place. The menus were written in Spanish and English, so if you don't speak Spanish, you will be fine. My husband ordered the Bistec Encebollado (Grilled Steak and Onions) with rice, beans and maduros. I ordered the Arepas Rellenas--one with chicken and one with beef. I thought they would be small, so I ordered two. I was very wrong. They were so huge that I could only eat half of one! The rest went home and made excellent leftovers the next day. The chicken and the beef in the arepas were so tender and flavorful. I did not need to add any hot sauce or condiments to add more flavor. I would definitely recommend the arepas. Definitely a good stop to get your Colombian food fix!

My favorites include the corn and cheese, chicken, and beef! Friendly customer service as well. They taste so amazing that when they come by I buy extra to bring home to the family, who are now hooked as well! They are always the highlight of my week when I see them pop up on our food truck schedule. They reheat amazingly well also. My only complaint is that I wish they showed up even more frequently at nights at STW!

The customer service is very friendly and helpful by even offering suggestions.

I was really excited to try their empanadas, especially given that they're gluten-free! Some…read moreempanadas are wheat based, but these are based from corn. I ordered a beef and shrimp empanada. 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.

Caveat: I had Chivanada at a Yelp event. Not a paid endorsement, but like to be open about things…read morelike this. 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.

We had piña juice (pineapple) and the Papelon, well let me tell you, I have never liked papelon growing up but I tried some of it and I was impressed. I really like the hint of lime it has. Very refreshing. I can't have enough of this place, I'm so glad I can find Venezuelan food at a decent price and that it's actually DELICIOUS. They are located on exit 60 of I-24 (Old Hickory Blvd I believe) on the Shell gas station. Parking can be a little tricky on the busy hours as they also have a Mexican restaurant next door but it's definitely worth it. The lady was very nice and attentive. There were a few orders before ours but the food was made fairly fast and it was fresh. They accept cash and credit/debit card payments. I will definitely be coming back here more often to give my soul a taste of the OG home. Come check them out!
