In…read morethe front, it's a Mexican market with a butcher (selling fresh pig, fat), a florist, a farmacia and dulceria. In the back left corner, it opens up into taqueria with lots of seating options and table service. The tacos al pastor were absolutely delicious! Super fresh, high quality ingredients. The table sauces were excellent and muy picante, and I was happy to find a crema as well to cool things down a bit. The tortillas were handmade and the food was served within 10 minutes. There were many beverage options, including pineapple, mango and guava juice. This is my new Mexican favorite on Nolensville Pike!

I got the chicharron pupusas, which is done the El Salvadorian way- it's like shreds of pork meat, not fried pork skin. Easily one of the top pupusas, curtido (cabbage salad) and salsa I've had, and I've eaten them almost all my life in Los Angeles. The asada taco was filled to the brim w crisped up meat and their homemade tortillas were incredible. My husband had the Chile Rellenos and couldn't stop talking about it... not just how good those were but even their rice and beans! So much flavor! It seems like a lil family restaurant, it's clean and they were super friendly. Sometimes they even do menudo- but you'll have to call before the weekend to check. Yall, it's been tough finding food like this in TN. I am so so happy!

My hubby asked me what I wanted to eat and I told him I was craving for Sopa de Res so he searched for just that and this restaurant was one of the few that popped. He chose this restaurant because he reviewed the menu, he recognized a lot of the menu selections and he knew it had to be Guatemala cuisine. We are from Guatemala so it was a Bonus for us. The following is what we ordered; Sopa de Res-3 piezas de carne de res con vegetales, papas, elote y repollo con tortillas hechas a mano (Beef soup w/vegetables, corn, cabbage, served with homemade tortillas) Carne asada - con ensalada fría de coditos, longaniza, frijoles, jalapeños, cebollines, y tortillas hechas a mano (Grilled steak, spring onions w/macaroni salad, mashed black beans, grilled sausage and jalapeños) I have to say that we felt we were in Guatemala. The home cooking feeling was heartwarming. The food is so delicious. We were not disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant. The service of the waiter, a young man, son of the owners, was excellent. He kept checking on us to see if we needed anything else or how we were. I honestly didn't want to leave. I was so content. We stayed a while and left a half hour before they closed. I wish they were closer to us. Thank you Emanuel Restaurant for your great cooking and excellent service.

We found this little gem while driving down Nolensville Road, actually looking for a different…read morerestaurant. We always love trying the authentic Mexican restaurants along the road, so we figured it was a safe adventure. The thing I love about restaurants of this nature is how creative their menus can be compared to the more Americanized Mexican restaurants. Nothing wrong at all with a good neighborhood Mexican restaurant that we all know and love, but some of these flavors and experiences you simply don't get in the more homogenous Mexicanrestaurants. I had the whole fried fish, which was absolutely delicious. Be careful of the little bones, but other than that absolute delight. I also got a couple tacos just to try as my wife got the burrito. The burrito was well-made and flavorful, but would caution that it had a lot of rice in it something that she was not expecting. (she's not a big rice fan) Absolutely go back as I can't wait to try something else on the menu One little nuance/oddity about this place: they do not serve queso. All they have is melted mozzarella. Not sure why that is just what they choose to serve.

The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are the best I've had anywhere in Middle Tennessee. After years of eating Thai food, I had never tried a Thai beef noodle soup, so I decided to order the Angus Beef Noodle Soup. You guys--it is incredible. It has some similarities to pho, but the rich, deeply flavored beef broth is completely its own thing. We loved it so much that we came back the very next week for more. The portions are generous. We both have healthy appetites and still can't finish an entire noodle dish on our own. The only thing that could make the experience even better would be online or phone ordering. Beyond that, the owners are incredibly kind, and I truly can't say enough good things about this place. The food is outstanding, and I can't wait to go back, especially since they rotate special dishes from time to time.

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.

Unfortunately, the food we received did not reflect that same quality. The chicken was extremely hard and dry, almost as if it had been over-fried, and the plantains were overcooked as well. For the price paid, the quality-to-cost ratio just did not feel appropriate. Multiple guests at my event also commented on the food quality, which was embarrassing given the expectations I had going into it. I'm sharing photos for context because I truly wanted this experience to go differently. I understand businesses can have off days, but I hope consistency and quality control can improve moving forward. I've also shared this feedback with the store and was reimbursed $59.17 of the $250 total purchase.
