They were smaller than the ones we have gotten before but just as tender. Hubby ended up getting a second one. They had a lot of pupusas options so we opted to try different ones of those. I didn't really like what I got but what my husband got was great. The dessert nuegados we got were not my thing but I was glad to at least try them and my friend liked them so it all worked out. I would come back just for the tamales and to try other things. Oh and that salsa verde was excellent!

Again, I stumbled upon this restaurant by shear luck. It is a trove of good foods…read more The server, her name was Edith, she was most helpful. I was immediately greeted and seated upon my arrival. Actually, I was able to choose which table that I wanted to dine at. I started off with a fresh cup of coffee. It was piping hot, which is the only way that I like it. After placing my order I enjoyed seeing the interactions between the diners and their family. Also, the people that came into the restaurant after I was seated were greeted with such warmth and genuine love from the staff that it took me back in time when life was less complicated. When life was a simple time for everyone. A time when the cellphone wasn't even an idea in the minds of our great innovators. This establishment is not located on the main streets, it's located around the corner of a major road but obscured from view. So surprise number one is that....... They had a revolving door of clientele during my dining experience there. More visitors came and went than I see in main stream restaurant facilities. That in itself should tell you something about not only the food but about the people that work there. After I ordered I must be truthful, the food was not brought out immediately but that was truly a good thing which I will share why that is soon. First, the observation from an old man saw every occupied table with friends and family visiting with each other. Not a cell phone in sight, no disruption from a ringing phone. No inconsiderate cell phone man talking at a noise decibel that makes one feel they are sitting with you in a small enclosure. It was beautiful, nobody hurrying, nobody uptight and most importantly, No one ignored in favor of a cell phone texter or talker. It was undivided attention across the entire spectrum. That's good old day memories for me. When my meal arrived it was well worth the wait and now I will share with you why I don't mind waiting a little longer for a meal while dining in a small restaurant. It's because the order is not pre-made sitting under heat-lamps or inside of stainless steel containers placed over a heating source. Oh no, my breakfast was being made after I placed the order. That my friends adds a whole new dimension to good, quality, well prepared menu items. If I had to rate the food, ambiance and service on a 5 star rating, 5 being the highest praise, then hands down, I give them 10 stars

My partner and I visited on a Friday evening around 7:30pm and it wasn't overly crowded (it was also raining...so take that into account). I ordered a pork/cheese pupusa along with a carne asada baleadas. The Pupusa was served with all the typical staples: slaw in a HUGE container and the hot sauces. They came out hot and fresh with the perfect blend of soft, flavorful inside and crisp exterior. This was my first time trying baleada, a popular El Salvadorian comfort food. It was very satisfying and quite large: a soft flour tortilla with refried beans, eggs, and meat. The star of the show (aside from the Pupusa) was the beef tacos. These were flavor bombs with a nice char on the meat. Will order again. The staff was friendly and their offer their menu in Spanish and English. The kitchen is open, and you can see the staff working hard on your meal after you order. This is now added to my list of staples in Nashville. Looking forward to being a frequent visitor.

It's enough for the amount of business in that plaza. Service is blah, I've visited a few times and looks like they have a lot of turn over with their employees. But they have consistently done just alright. They're welcoming and get your orders correct. If you're lucky all orders will come out at the same time, we've waited about 10mins between the 1st plate and last plate is served. Now, what you're really here for; the food. Honestly, it's what's keeping this place open. It is actually good food. Authentic to flavors and roots of the culture. The portions are decent sized. They sale tamales for the holidays and they are delicious and big. Please know This is not the place to be vegetarian or to have any food allergies.

Nashville, Tennessee has some great pupuserias and tonight I checked out La Esquina Pupuseria…read moreSalvadorana. Like most of the pupuserias that I have been in, this place is extremely humble and definitely offers little in the way of ambiance and atmosphere. There are a few tables and some cheap paintings and bric-a-brac hanging on the walls. Even my salt and pepper shaker were mismatched. But to me, this made me anticipate my dinner more. The process here is you place an order at the counter and when it is ready, they bring you your food. There was a bit of a language barrier, but the young lady taking my order was friendly and it was not really an issue. The menu was quite diverse and offered a nice selection of fillings for their pupusas. I opted to go with a mixed pupusa, a chorizo and cheese pupusa and a jalapeño and cheese pupusa. Then I noticed that they had tacos and impulsively ordered an asada taco. I chose a seat and before long, they brought me my feast and I have to say that it looked impressive. After my first bite, I decided not only did it look impressive, but it tasted even better than it looked. If you find yourself in Nashville, Tennessee, I would definitely recommend a visit here.

Nashville, Tennessee's Pupuseria Metapaneca is the very definition of hole-in-the-wall restaurant…read morewith almost no ambience and a location that you would drive by every day without ever noticing. It is in a hidden strip plaza behind a Jack in the Box and the only way to know that a restaurant is here is by what appears to be a homemade sign above the storefront. Walking in I was greeted by a woman and a little girl perhaps five-years-old, maybe six-years-old at the most. She certainly wanted to help what I assume is her mother. I ordered two pupusas off of the menu, as well as a carne asada taco. Be advised that the prices must have got up because on the menu the pupusas were $2.50 and the taco was a dollar fifty. And yet my total with those two items and a bottle of water, which was advertised for a dollar, came out to me over $9. Not a big hiking price and honestly, it is what I would expect to pay for this food. It does bear mentioning. They had giant containers of the Salvadorian coleslaw. Which goes with pupusas. I genuinely enjoyed this coleslaw, as I always do. The pupusas were good at the taco was decent. Nashville, Tennessee it's a city that has some fantastic pupusas. Honestly, I tell people that my favorite city that I have had pupusas in so far is Nashville. While these were good, I have had better in Nashville. I am still giving this establishment five stars because in there a little corner of the world, or at least their corner of Nashville, Tennessee, we were pretty much the only game in town. So this save me about a fifteen or twenty minute drive each way.
