I was the onlu non-Spanish speaking patron I saw. This is Venezuelan, so don't expect any tacos. The menu is mainly burgers, arepas, and empanadas. I ordered 2 steak arepas and 2 beef and plantain empanadas for the wife and I which was a ton of food. Everything on the menu is super hearty, don't come when counting calories. I liked the food, but it was a bit much. The wife probably wouldn't return. I probably would.

I work a mile down the road and needed to grab something fast, so I decided to grab something from…read moreone of the food trucks at the gas station parking lot down the street. There was a Mexican option an a Venezuelan option. I obviously chose the second one. I ordered an arepa and an empanada. The arepa is basically a deep fried sandwich with a meat and cheese on it. It was pretty good. Definitely not healthy by any means. I had it stuffed with shredded beef. The empanada I had with cheese and black beans. It was pretty good as well. The food was pretty good overall. The wait time was probably about 12 minutes. They do have a covered patio with blaring Latino music. A bit much for me to eat there.

Let me start by saying that I really like Venezuelan food. I ate it regularly when I was el rey de…read moreMiami y La Playa de Miami. De verdad. So, in the [redacted] number of years in which I left Florida and moved to Nashville, I have been on the hunt in Middle Tennessee to replicate the flavors and food I enjoyed in the 305. I'm still looking. It was a new year and I was feeling adventurous. Some yelpers had made mention of a new(ish) Venezuelan spot in Antioch and I wasn't doing much on a Friday night so... I drove south to see what was what. The strip mall Totuma is in has a few Latin American restaurants so if you're looking for sazon, you can take a trip around the plaza and have something new for a while. I parked and walked in with excitement. I was greeted with a sigh, shrug and a not-so-inviting look. Had traffic not been so bad I would have walked out. Maybe I should have. First impressions have a lot of power and my first impression was that I was unwelcome in that place. Trying to power through, I approached the young woman at the hostess stand and tried to engage in some friendly small talk. Nope. Not interested. This was getting worse. Not wanting to continue the pain, I ordered, paid, sat, and waited for my food. The dining room wasn't very busy which allowed me to feel the burn of her stare. I don't know what the problem was but I was beginning to wonder if it was me. Mercifully, my food was ready. The hostess dropped at at the table I was sitting without a word. Cool. I drove home in a bit of a funk. Food is nourishment, yes, but I can (should) also make you feel good. I was not feeling good. I got home with hopes that my belly would take over for my feelings. The double order of papa yuca started things off well. The best I can describe this is yuca balls with cheese. As most things fried with cheese, these were good. Not great. Good. But at this point, I would take 'good.' For my main, I had a trio of arepas: shredded beef, chicken and pork. The arepas were a good size and each came with a generous portion of meat. But all three meats were incredibly salty to the point of being inedible... and I can eat a lot of not-so-great things. Coupled with the overwhelming salt bomb, the food tasted devoid of emotion. It sounds dumb to say but you can sense when food is made with passion/love/fervor. You can also sense when it's not there. It wasn't there. The search continues.

The food is always fresh, tasty and authentic. Maybe my only complaint would be that they don't always have my favorite desserts. Lol Everything I've tried is good. The patacon is a generous size for the price. It can be shared if you're not feeling hungry. Totally family friendly and they have a small stage, I believe they have seasonal performances. The area? I mean... not the best but not the worst. The parking is shared with the other business. Must try!

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!

We had piña juice (pineapple) and the Papelon, well let me tell you, I have never liked papelon growing up but I tried some of it and I was impressed. I really like the hint of lime it has. Very refreshing. I can't have enough of this place, I'm so glad I can find Venezuelan food at a decent price and that it's actually DELICIOUS. They are located on exit 60 of I-24 (Old Hickory Blvd I believe) on the Shell gas station. Parking can be a little tricky on the busy hours as they also have a Mexican restaurant next door but it's definitely worth it. The lady was very nice and attentive. There were a few orders before ours but the food was made fairly fast and it was fresh. They accept cash and credit/debit card payments. I will definitely be coming back here more often to give my soul a taste of the OG home. Come check them out!

My family of six came in around 12:30 on a weekday, and we got seated immediately. We tried a number of their dishes, including their arepas, empanadas, platos, and appetizers. Arepas (uh-RAY-puhs) are corn flatbreads stuffed with fillings, and here, they serve them either baked or fried. My favorite was their pabellón arepa. It takes all the components of their pabellón plate (Venezuela's national dish) and stuffs them in the arepa. The mix of savory beef, creamy cheese, and mildly sweet plantain makes for a mouthwatering, balanced meal that's so easy to crave. I'm already looking forward to coming back!
