I love when food tastes homemade and everything here does just that! Don't forget to try their empanadas too! The chicken empanada is to die for, incredibly juicy. 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. The customer service is very friendly and helpful by even offering suggestions.

Went in on a busy afternoon for lunch. To be completely honest the lack of flavor from the food I…read morehad is insulting to Caribbean culture. I had the chicken plate with Cuban black beans and St Lucian rice. The signature bbq sauce was essentially a thinner version of Manwhich. As a whole, it was all very bland and the food temperature was lukewarm. People around us were ordering the salad with almonds and oranges on it, came with some type of bread. Not sure the name but it looked delicious! Maybe I'll try that. If I were to go back I'd definitely order something different because this meal was not the one for me. Our server was great! Can't remember his name unfortunately. However, he was very attentive and even topped off our togo drinks without asking. I noticed he was taking care of nearly every table in the restaurant and still managed to get everything right, never forgetting a thing. Five stars for him! The restaurant is set up like an outdoor patio. There are various 2-4 seater tables with picnic style chairs. The staff quickly accommodated my party of four by combining two tables. Service was quick and efficient not sure if I'd recommend for large groups.

I had a couple of…read morekids, which has meant I have not been frequenting the place as much, but I've reached the age where the kids are now talking about their like of Calypso Cafe as well. I can finally return more! That fruit tea is the second greatest fruit tea I've had, being edged out of first place only slightly by Baja down the street. Thompson Lane I think is the center of the fruit tea universe. All these years later I still only get a couple of things there. Black bean rice nachos and the black bean salad. There's not a lot on their menu that I really enjoy, but those two I really do. My kiddos are fans of both the black bean and chicken nachos and I have requests often to drop in and it's usually when dropping in would result in being stuck in traffic for an hour. Womp womp. They recently reopened for dinner which I have yet to have had a chance to do. It's been on my radar but something about eating a mass of beans before bedtime doesn't appeal to my crew - their loss. Used to be a fan of their carrot cake as well, got to put that on my to-do list. Something about carrot cake and fruit tea and beans just yeah, get that to go.

When I went, the kiosk ordering system indicated they were out of beef and cheese empanadas. I asked the man working whether that was the case, and he said yes but that he'd put cheese on the side of my beef empanada! The empanada was fresh and crispy. It had a perfectly crispy crust, and I LOVED the corn dough used for the empanadas. They're so much more flavorful than flour based empanadas in my opinion. I will absolutely be back to this food truck to try more wonderful food!

The empanada is INCREDIBLE. Flakey, deep fried goodness with a side of cilantro sauce on the side. (I kicked myself for only getting 1 when I drove away) When I tell you I crave this arepa, I am not lying! Flavorful shredded chicken, black beans, and plantains inside a warm cornmeal pocket. This is also a MUST! Both of those for $20 and a full happy tummy!

We had a 5:45 reservation, arrived about ten minutes early, and they were kind enough to seat us right away. The place was absolutely packed with folks heading to the 7:30 show, but despite the rush, service was quick and smooth. The food hit the spot. The Jalapeño Chicken was pure Mexican-style comfort food...cheesy, flavorful, and with just the right kick of heat (definitely a heads up if you're spice-sensitive). The Chicken Quesadilla came out as a generous portion, easily enough to fill us up. We also tried the guacamole, which tasted super fresh with a bright pop of lime. Everything came out hot, well-prepared, and on time. Between the excellent service, great food, and unbeatable convenience if you're headed to the Fisher Center, this place is a no-brainer. We'll definitely be back next time!

I really wanted to love this place, but something is just off. The service was very slow when we went. It took 10 minutes to get a water, but the food came out quick after we ordered. Definitely great portion sizes and the food was ok. Not great, but not terrible. The salsa was really watery and the main dishes lacked flavor. The margarita was also watery. It is really cool that they do a 25% off menu after 8pm. Also there is limited parking available. Street parking only. Hopefully this place will get better because I really wanted to like it.

My first visit to Barcelona was in honor of a friend's birthday, and we found it the perfect place…read moreto celebrate! To begin, we were pleasantly surprised that our table for 10 was ready as soon as we arrived, expecting to wait a bit for such a large party. Once we were seated, our server Oliver immediately came over to explain the tapas menu and get our drink orders. Tapas are priced $7-$20 à la carte, or you can order different tasting menu tiers based on what your group is hungry for. We ordered the $35 tasting menu (tapas only) and it was more than enough food! We tried the whipped sheep cheese, flank steak, garlic mushrooms, shrimp, patatas bravas, salmon, and more! We also ordered a pitcher of red sangria for the table that was delicious. The incredible food and the attentive service made Barcelona the perfect meal for a group of old friends to catch up. After visiting Barcelona, your wallet might not be happy, but your heart sure will!

What really made the evening special, though, was the outstanding service. Our waiter was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and when he learned we were celebrating two birthdays, he surprised us with some sangria to help us celebrate. That small gesture made an already wonderful meal feel even more memorable. Between the delicious food, warm hospitality, and celebratory atmosphere, this was easily one of our favorite experiences in Nashville. We will absolutely be back anytime we're in town!
