We parked in the strip mall across the street where we later went for ice cream because I accidentally turned too soon, but I was glad when I saw how steep their parking lot is, with all the telltale scrapes from cars bottoming out. Our family shared a plate of Birria Tacos which we all adored and the kids ate the dipping sauce as soup. The half chicken had so much flavor from the smoker grill out front and I loved that it came with pico and fresh radishes in addition to the rice and beans. The Birria tacos came with satueed onions, diced raw onions, and shredded cilantro. Two other families had young kiddos like us, and I loved hearing one little guy order his favorite, carne asada, which I want to come back for! So delicious, great atmosphere and prices. I enjoyed the murals throughout!

I heard the blender going and it clearly was fresh made. The salsas are amazing. The service is very friendly. I highly recommend this place!

This spot is your quintessential local Mexican spot from layout, decor, menu, seating, etc...and I'm good with that, as I know what to expect for the most part. I popped by for a late lunch, around 2:00 PM and they were still serving a brunch/lunch menu until 3:00, in addition to the Norma menu. I went off the normal menu starting with a bean dip, then the Pollo Alfredo (chicken, rice and cheese) for my main. The food was good, nothing special, but was exactly why I ordered and expected. Service was friendly and welcoming. She checked on me once during my meal and then shortly after to wrap things up. The space is clean and well kept conditionally. There is dedicated parking, but lot is small, so I'd imagine on busy nights, it can get tricky. Overall, solid 3.5 for me. Not in a rush to come back, but also would not actively avoid.

The gentlemen serving patrons are friendly and helpful with menu items, the dining areas are not very big but spacious in between booths. There is another dining area off to the right side of the restaurant but we didn't see much of that area. We were seated by TV screens, and the decorations on the wall were very fun, colorful and cultured. Outside the building had murals that matched the restaurant decor. Next door is a Mexican bakery that are open 24 hours!! We stopped there for dessert!! If you're feeling like having some Mexican food, I would recommend this place!! It's away from the downtown hustle and nestled in a business area amongst other small restaurants. Would definitely come by again!

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.

And nobody judges you for letting your kids run around a little. Other families are there doing the same thing, everybody gets it, and for a brief moment in time, eating out with children doesn't feel like a hostage situation. The food is always consistent, the drinks are good, and brunch is probably the best move. It's family-friendly in the way parents actually need a place to be family-friendly, not just because they technically allow children through the door. They're making the outside even better now with the renovation and additions, which is great because that patio already rules. Good food. Good drinks. Great outdoor space. Kid-approved, adult-approved. It's freaking awesome.

I ordered the vegan burrito thinking I was about to receive the warm, tightly wrapped cylinder of comfort that has powered civilizations for centuries. Beans. Rice. Maybe some grilled veggies doing their thing. The classics. What arrived instead was... a philosophical question. Inside the tortilla was a sparse scattering of ingredients that looked less like a burrito filling and more like the evidence table after a burrito had already been eaten by someone else. A few beans wandering around with no clear sense of purpose. Rice that appeared to have been introduced to the concept of seasoning only briefly, perhaps in passing. Everything loosely contained in a tortilla that had clearly given up on life somewhere around the folding stage. I actually paused for a moment just staring at it, the way you might look at modern art and wonder if you're missing something important. But the real genius of this dish is the confidence. Because someone in that kitchen assembled this, looked down at their work, closed the box, and essentially said, "Yes. This is a burrito." And honestly? I respect it. As someone who never misses an opportunity to troll when the moment presents itself, I can only admire the audacity. Putting this in a box and sending it out into the world with a straight face deserves recognition. Was it a good burrito? Absolutely not. But was it memorable? Without question. In fact, it may be the most conceptual burrito I've ever had. 5 sexy stars.
