    Nom nom. The food here is wonderfully fresh and tasty, and Maria is a delight. I ordered the slow cooked brisket sandwich for my hub, and it came on a torts bun (like ciabatta bread) with chips drizzled with a yummy sauce. I tried the spicy shrimp tacos, and the shrimp was so fresh and plump and had a nice but not too spicy kick. Have been here in the past and tried the feijoada and samosas, and she also makes empanadas. I recommend that when you don't know what you're hungry for, just stop in here and check the menu. I'm sure you'll find something you'll love, along with the friendliest service.

    Maria's Kitchen!

    Don't judge a book by it's cover. The food here is DELICIOUS! I've tried the Cuban, empanadas, and the Shrimp Tacos (on separate visits of course) - all were incredibly fresh and delicious. Maria is so friendly and throws down in the kitchen!! Great, personable customer service makes each visit amazing. I think the menu changes sometimes but I'm sure whatever you order will be tasty! I plan on trying the Goan burger next!

    Goan Veggie Club Sandwich Delicious!!

    We went for late lunch after the rush. Maria came out to greet me and my parents. Mom had the Cuban sandwich, dad had the chicken enchilada, and I had the Goan veggie club sandwich with the veggie soup. The Cuban had lean cuts of meat. It was very good. The chicken enchilada was better than expected. It had a bit of spice, but it is not overpowering. The Goan veggie sandwich and soup were delicious. It has a refreshing flavor and filled with cucumber, potato, a few onions.

    In the back of the family-owned neighborhood store. Maria is AMAZING! Hands down the best shrimp tacos we've ever had. Carnitas tacos fantastic too! I also had to try the pumpkin spice cheesecake blondie that was very good as well. Definitely worth a drop in.

    Marie makes awesome food! Brazilian feijoada (black beans and sausage over rice), spicy shrimp tacos, Cuban sandwich, chicken enchiladas, curry - it's all great. Don't be put off by the outward appearance of the store, the food is too good to miss. Get there at 11:00 AM and beat the "crowd" (it's too small to hold a crowd - lol)

    Spicy shrimp tacos and beef nachos!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sweet mamma jamma. This place is amazing. I went in around 3:45 pm so it was quiet and my food was ready quickly. The food area is pretty nondescript but everything appeared to be clean. Maria met me at the counter and explained the menu. I called my wife and we settled on the beef nachos and the spicy shrimp tacos and we were so impressed with both. My wife, who considers herself to be somewhat of an officiaNACHO, says these are the best nachos she has had since we moved to Greenville in August. Maria informed me that everything was handmade and the shrimp were brought in from Charleston and never frozen. We will be back for sure....maybe tomorrow!!

    Everything you've heard is true. Don't sleep on Maria Gomes' neighborhood bodega! Got the Cuban and some of her Spicy Shrimp Tacos. Both were perfect in about every way. I'll be back. A lot.

    One of the specials today- a curry dish over rice w/shrimp potatoes. Maria adds a Portuguese flair into her Indian home cooking.

    Only the locals know about this hidden gem. Maria is a fabulous cook and will make sure you are very happy with your meal...you'll be coming back again. There are new specials daily, but usually I just ask her what's good. She will whip you up some of the best Indian/Portuguese home cooking that you will have!!! Make sure you get a samosa too! She will know your name by your third time coming back!

    Spicy shrimp tacos and chicken soup
    Ashwin A.

    Fresh, delectable, home-made, Portuguese/Cuban/Indian food. Maria is an brilliant cook and an engaging conversationalist. You'll never get bored with her company and she'll make sure you're fully satisfied with your meal... Her chicken soup and spicy shrimp tacos made my day!

    Wow. Wow. Wow. This was our first visit snd we were blown away by everything. The food, the energy,…read morethe beauty of the restaurant, the service, everything was stellar during our visit. After having visited Spain and experiencing tapas, our expectations were set high and Cúrate delivered on all levels. We ordered several plates to share, ordered a bubbly white wine and later a pitcher of Sangria and enjoyed the thoughtfulness of their progression of our meal. Every dish was thoughtful and tasty. The patatas bravas were better than some we had in Spain. The lamb skewers were the least favorite as they were slightly overcooked. I missed taking a picture of the mussels because we slopped that up so fast! Overall, I cannot wait to visit again, especially as they change their menu seasonally so new surprises would be amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    I did my research for dinner restaurants before heading to Asheville- both via Yelp and by asking…read morefriends. And I was told don't skip Curate so it was the first reservation I booked. I booked it about a month ahead and had no trouble getting a reservation although it was quite busy for a Wednesday evening. And the restaurant itself is quite large! We started with sangria. It had been awhile since I had sangria and this reminded me i need to drink it more often- especially in the summer! Our waitress was Zoe who informed us she'll be moving near us in Chicago soon. She was great so happy to welcome her to our city! With Zoe and Yelp's help we decided on the following food: - Pan Con Tomate: didn't sound like anything special, but really good especially when topped with anchovy (as Zoe recommended) - Gilda: the anchovies we topped our pan con tamate - Pimientos De Piquillo Rellenos: fine, but probably my least favorite thing we ordered - Pulpo a La Gallega: loved, but i usually do when octopus is involved - lamb skewers: I was full by the time these came out, but too good not to eat And for dessert we went with the cheesecake which was so good! Overall, a great meal and I can see why so many people/yelpers recommended it!

    Nino's Pizzeria & Eatery was 10/10…read more We had the meatballs and a 16-inch Neapolitan pizza, and everything was amazing. The food tasted homemade, fresh, and full of flavor. The owner and staff were also incredibly nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend Nino's to anyone looking for great pizza and a welcoming local spot in Sevierville. We'll definitely be back!

    LET ME EXPLAIN!!!!! Pizza Rio is about the experience of pizza being served LIKE a Brazilian Steak…read moreHouse. Pros: 1.The pizza to me is served fresh, hot and that CHEESE PULL your kids are going to love that!!!! The adults definitely did 2. The staff excellent, friendly, professional, the BEST. You never get up, which is nice, especially with kids 3. Children 3 and under eat free 4. Coke products yes and about 5 minutes from the Compass Margaritaville Resort perfect. 5. You can make reservations so try to so you don't have to wait. If you do have to wait they have corn hole outside and a few benches. 6. Parking is plentiful and very close to entrance of the restaurant 7. Clean restrooms/ and restaurant 8. You will get full and the appetizers/desserts were not skimpy at all this place will fill you. Matter of fact my family really enjoyed the apps and desserts surprisingly. Cons 1 only one con - the pizza has normal flavor combinations. I did not experience a wow flavored pizza at Pizza Rio but I was not disappointed about coming either. This place is not something my family would visit repeatedly because the price to me doesn't match the experience. Please however experience it once because all the things you wished Cicis pizza offered to make the day feel grand out with your family this place definitely gives you without fail!!!!
