Inside, the ambience does not get much better but we were there for the food and not the vibe. Our server did not speak a lot of English but it was fine. Between the three of us with our limited Spanish and her limited English, we were able to order just fine. We started off with empanadas. Super good--hot out of the fryer, crispy on the outside and flavor-packed meat on the inside. Yum. The only thing I wished we had was some type of sauce to dip them in. For entrees, we ordered the Ropa Vieja and Carne Asada. Both were very good. The portions were a good size--I could not finish my dinner. I also ordered an arepa as a side and I wish I had ordered five more. Great little hidden gem!

It was our table and 2 other tables. It is hard to tell that you arrived at the restaurant because it all you see at first is the gas station. I enjoyed the food but was disappointed that chicharrón was not how it was pictured. The picture shows a whole piece but when they brought it out it was a few pieces scattered and the fat was not crispy.

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.

As a rare Cuban-American living in Nashville, I had to come see what this place was all about!…read moreGrowing up in Miami, I know just what to look for when it comes to trying Cuban food and this place left me pleasantly surprised and satisfied. Though not perfect, you can get a great experience of Cuban food coming to Back to Cuba. Some suggestions I would like to share is that croquetas shouldn't be just an appetizer, but should be able to buy them individually. What makes Miami Cuban food so great is being able to order an espresso with 2 croquetas. The croquetas should also come with lime, a must! Instead I was brought ketchup. Pastelitos are listed as a dessert but it's really a pastry people would order as an appetizer or with their coffee, as well. Rice and beans were spot on! Lechón and yuca had the right flavors, just needed more of it. Overall, a great experience to make me feel back at home

What Delicious Colombian food!…read more The truck is in the parking lot of the green roof plaza, right between Title Max and AutoZone. (Plaza where World Cash Services is) They have amazing empanadas and arepas, and my personal favorite, the carimanolas! The arepas are delicious and filled with three different types of meat! It comes with carne (Ground beef), bacon and ham! It was absolutely phenomenal! The empanadas are crispy on the outside, and oh so delicious on the inside. My favorite was the carmanolas, which I never had before! The outside is fried yucca, which feels almost like a fluffy soft potato, but is filled with meat. They serve them with this delicious homemade sauce! Try their spicier version, which they serve in a jar! It is absolutely delicious!

We were hosting an event at my work I helped coordinate, and wanted a few food trucks. I emailed Chivanada and Daniel responded so quickly and kindly with all the information needed. He was so easy to work with. They arrived on time, and were super popular! We had them and one other food truck there. While I heard rave reviews of both, there was a constant line for this one. Personally, I tried the beef and chicken empanadas and the avocado/tomato salad. That gooey Gouda cheese was the perfect addition. I was not a huge fan of the white dipping sauce, but it was still good. I prefer a chimichurri sauce for empanadas, but that's just me. Daniel, I'm sure I'll be in touch to use you guys for another event in the future. Thank you for everything -- we loved having you!

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.

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!

This is also a MUST! Both of those for $20 and a full happy tummy!
