Absolutely delightful empanadas with staff that do all in their power to make sure you enjoy your experience! 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! read more

Caracasville - Emma - Venezuelan Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I made sure to get to the farmers market early today to beat the huge line that inevitably will form. I ordered my usual meal- ground beef empanada and shredded chicken arepa. 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! read more

This was the most amazing food my father and I have had in a while. I recommend highly to everyone because omg it was good.

Came all the way from Illinois on vacation. Staff is very friendly. Come one day to try and the food is fantastic. On our last day in Nashville we stopped again before heading back home. Its that good. Empandas are amazing!! I highly recommend you if you're in Nashville. They are at the farmers market by the Nashville State Museum. read more

Great Venezuelan food truck parked outside the Nashville Farmer's Market. Almost all their food is marked gluten free since it's made with corn flour! I wanted a pork rice bowl but they were sold out for the day. Instead I got a beef rice bowl, beef and cheese empanda and a cachapa. I'd recommend skipping the rice bowls since the beef was a little on the dry side. The beef and cheese empanada was good though! Came out piping hot and fresh! The cachapa was interesting! It was basically a big corn pancake filled with cheese and folded in half! First time having this dish and it was pretty good! Overall I'd recommend this spot if you're near the Bicentennial Park and Farmer's Market area! Next time I want to try the arepas! read more

My mother and I found this hidden gem while walking around the Nashville Farmer's Market yesterday and would 100% recommend!! Not only were the owners and employees super friendly, the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered a chorizo and cheese empanada and would recommend. She got the bean arepa and said she loved it. Be sure to try their cilantro sauce with whatever you order as it's incredible! Also, we really appreciated how they had many gluten-free options to choose from at a very affordable price! We'll definitely be back. Try Caracasville if you have the chance! You won't be disappointed :)) read more

This food truck is awesome and selfishly I feel like they need a second location here in Mount Juliet! I went with a shredded beef arepa, and four empanadas; plain cheese, black bean, pork and a chicken aempanada. The arepa was delish and loaded with beef, cheese, and black beans. This was a Latin comfort food flavor explosion. My only very small complaint was the amount of grease that was on this sandwich. Maybe it was from the cheese? Ok, all of the empanadas were amazing, literally not a bad one in the bunch. Crunchy, huge and fully loaded with meat or cheeses. My favorite, surprisingly was the black bean and cheese empanada. After shopping at the Farmers' Market or strolling through Bicentennial Park, hit up Caracasville food truck for some delicious Venezuela eats! read more

Caracasville - Beef Arepa and Ground Beef Empanada - Venezuelan Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Best Arepas hands down! I get the shredded beef arepa and it never disappoints. Only thing I would add as a point of improvement would be to include utensils with the arepas. They're massive and messy so I have to go ask other food establishments for a fork because Caracasville does not give you one. Other than that great place to eat at. read more

Ordered the beef arepa at the night market . It's basically like a sandwich and came with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantains and cheese. My husband loooooved it. It was a little to heavy and greasy for me. We also ordered a mango juice which was tasty. I would definitely try other items. read more

The empanadas and arepas are excellent! The service was great and quick too. Everything was cooked fresh to order and did not disappoint at all. I had the chicken and cheese empanada and the arepa with chicken, cheese and tomatoes. read more

The beef arepa is absolute cash money delicious. A beautifully stuffed pocket jam packed with shredded beef, beans, plantains, cheese and more. While a bit messy it's absolutely worth it. This is the main attraction at the farmers market and a must stop for anyone in the area. read more

I love this place and am slightly addicted. I go most weekends. I normally get the pork arepa, though sometimes I switch it up and get the cheese and pork empanada. I also love the cachapas. The food is all made to order and truly just great. The people who work there are super nice too. I go so often that they know my order. Love their story too. Immigrants who came here and had to start over and have worked super hard for what they have. Just great food and great people. Yep read more

The empanadas were amazing! They were much bigger than I thought they would be, so even better value for the cost. They're about the length of your hand and half as wide. I got two and couldn't finish them. Of the two I would recommend the plantain and cheese empanada option more. Delicious blend that was not overly sweet. The other one I got was their chicken empanada. They have a chicken and cheese as an option, which might have a more interesting taste/combination flavor (and the cashier did ask if I was sure I didn't want that one instead). That being said, it's nice to have a plain option for the more picky eaters out there (myself included). Quick and friendly service. This is something I would travel to have again or intentionally work into a visit to the city, which is my definition of a five rating. read more

We ordered the chicken arepa and chorizo black bean empanada. The arepa is good and overflowing with meat and cheese. It was fine but I think I'd try a different one if we went back. The empanada is very flaky and greasy , but tasty. I don't think I'd order one again. The highlight was their blended cilantro sauce. Def fun to try while at the farmers market but not sure I'd get again. read more

All the yes to this food truck. I'm sadden at the fact that I just recently went to the Nashville farmers market for the first time. I'm missing out on all the good eats. I stumbled upon this place on my way out. I was so excited. I love arepas esp silly when they're filled. I will say I was saddened by the price. Expensive. The mango juice was on point. Very refreshing. The arepa itself was so flavorful. The cilantro and garlic sauce are amazing. Can't wait to come back by. Didn't take a pic of my food. Too good. read more

Located at the farmers market, Caracasvilles' food was amazing. First off, the portions were huge and arepa packed with ingredients. While the arepa was greasy, it was filled with beans, chorizo, plantains and cheese. Definitely get the cilantro sauce to pair with. The beef empanadas are definitely heavier but were still delicious. Overall, food was tasty and flavorful. read more

This delightful food truck at the Farmer's market is fantastic and I highly recommend that you stop in to sample some of their authentic South American food! They make arepas and empanadas to order, so be prepared for a 15 minute wait if they are busy, but it is well worth it! I sampled the shredded chicken, chorizo, and pork areapas. The shredded chicken came with a ton of avocado and was a little bit milder in flavor. The chorizo was greasy but was probably my favorite. It came with plantains which I thought might be too sweet, but added a nice texture and additional flavor that offset the spiciness. The pork was also great; you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! They also have 3 different kinds of sauces to go on top and the orange one was so spicy and amazing. It was definitely my favorite! I also liked the green herb one, but the white sauce was a little bland. The staff is really friendly and I was super pleased with my meal. Caracasville is the real deal! read more

Caracasville is a food truck specializing in South American food and is typically located at the Nashville Farmer's Market. I eat here whenever I get a chance and find their arepas to be some of the best comfort food in all of Nashville. My favorite arepa is the veggie version, which includes black beans, avocado, and fried plantains. They also have three excellent sauce options, so be sure to request sauces on the side with your order. The arepas have a lot of filling (bring napkins!). For dining, there are tables near the truck in the outdoor portion of the farmer's market. read more

I ordered the chicha and pork arepa. The chicha was just okay. It's a drink made with boiled rice, condensed milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I felt like it was too thick to drink, and I'm not sure if there's anything they could have done to thin it out, but that would have made it much better! The flavor was there though! The pork in the arepa was great....bursting with flavor. I also really like the grilled dough they used for it. It is messy though because the juices from the pork and red sauce they put on it drip everywhere, so, make sure you grab plenty of napkins! read more

I've never been to the Night Market at the Nashville Farmer's Market before, and it was a great time! After doing my usual walk through I decided that I wanted to try something new. I decided on Caracasville because of their unique menu choices and the food looked amazing! I ended up getting a bottle of water and a pork arepa for around $9. The beef arepa had a pink mayo based sauce and tomato. The food truck had three additional sauces to use on anything, and I think the white garlic sauce was the best. The wait ended up being a little longer than usual for a food truck, but the menu specifies that the wait is 10-15 mins. The beef was so juicy and the outer bun was AMAZING! This was a great portion for a meal, and I want to try their chicken salad one with avocado next time. read more

Visiting town and forgot that I was going to try to find them since their food is gluten free, then stumbled on them at the farmers market. I had two empanadas, chicken and plantains, with red and green sauces. They were huge and AMAZING. I wish I could eat these everyday! Might go back tomorrow and get some to fly home with.

As a Cuban-American from Miami living in Nashville I've been missing my delicious Latin foods. Enter Caracasville. Oh my goodness. The sweet plantains! The arepas! The black beans! I'm in heaven. The flavors here are bold and vibrant. Empanadas come in so many varieties. We've ordered the pork bowl, the pork arepa, chicken arepa, ground beef and cheese empanada, chorizo and cheese empanada, and the tequeños. If you like cheese, get the tequeños. These are like mozzarella sticks but instead of being breaded, the cheese is wrapped in a kind of light pizza dough-type bread. So good. Everything is great and very filling. So happy to have them in the Nashville food scene. read more

If you enjoy any type of Latin cuisine you have to try this truck. Holy Snikes was it awesome, and having a gluten-free wife, I could share it with makes it top notch! read more

Stopped by here last weekend when I was at the Nashville Farmers Market. I love all the different types of restaurants that set up shop at the Farmers Market, and Caracasville was new to me, so I had to try it. I ordered a beef arepa, which came stuffed with shredded beef, black beans, cheddar cheese and fried plantains. I really enjoyed the flavors of the slow cooked meat, and I think if you order an arepa here, beef is the way to go. My cousin had the chorizo, which looked good but ended up being on the greasy side, causing the sandwich to fall apart in the end. What really took the arepa to the next level were the three sauces. Each sauce had a different flavor profile, but each one equally complimented the stuffed arepa. My personal favorite was the green cilantro sauce. I really enjoyed my lunch that day; I just wish there was a couple more slices of fried plantains inside! Not that they were skimping--I just love plantains. I'll be interested to see if they ever expand their menu in the future! read more

Love their generously filled sweet-plantain & cheese empanada & The passion fruit juice is made so well!

If you are a foody find this truck. We found them at the farmers market on a Sunday. Really enjoyed the Beef Empanda and Beef and Cheese Arepa. If you like latin food, you'll love this truck. While your at the Farmers market head across the street to the beautiful bicentennial park read more

I stopped here just as they were about to close and they were so nice to let me order anyway! I had the black bean arepa and the cachapas. Both were outstanding. The arepa had a nice char from the grill and the black beans in it were well seasoned. The cilantro sauce went perfectly with everything. And the cachapas, holy wow. Delicious read more

If you're trying to decide where to eat at the Nashville Farmer's Market, just do yourself a favor and EAT HERE!!! The empanadas and arepas are to die for. Ask for the green and red sauces to dip everything in - you won't regret it. I KNOW something's good when my extremely picky boyfriend begs to eat here. Just make sure not to go too late or you'll be disappointed to find they've run out of everything and have closed. read more

UPDATE: From 5 to 3. Last two visits were not great. Those three stars are for the tequeños It would have been one star if I'd only had the Pork Rice Bowl which needed to be drenched in the sauce to barely get any flavor. Not a good sign. I hope they can pull back up--this was one of my favorite places in town! read more

Absolutely delicious! One of my favorite things that I had while I was down in Nashville. The sauces are good, the arepas loaded, and the empanadas, kind of oily but still delicious! The rice is kind of thick, doesn't mix that well with all the ice cubes that are in the cup makes for a weird experience. But overall, I enjoyed this place so much that I would definitely come back next time I am in Nashville! read more

I've been wanting to try this place every time I visit the market, so today I finally gave it. It was pretty tasty. I believe the arepas are what's popular here, so next time I'll give that a try! read more

Killer food and good people and it's gluten free to boot. Hard not to love. I had an empanada and a arepa.

It does take awhile (they claim 15 mins from when you order) considering it's from a food truck, but definitely delicious and worth it. My favorite is the arepa with plantains, black beans and avocados though both chicken ones are good too. Everyone we've taken there so far has enjoyed. Watch out though--very messy. read more
