La Cucharita Colombian Restaurant

Delicious!
I love the empanadas but have tried a few things on their menu and have been happily satisfied every time. I grew up in NY where there is an abundance of excellent Colombian food and it's nice to have this available in Nashville!
Casual ambiance and a friendly staff make this a place to visit again and again!

The Empanadas were crispy perfection, filled with tender beef and served with a side of spicy salsa. But the real star of the show was the Bandeja Paisa - a generous platter piled high with juicy chorizo, flavorful ground beef, crispy chicharrón, and creamy avocado, all served with a side of steaming rice and beans. Every bite was a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that left me craving more.

The service was top-notch, with friendly staff happy to guide us through the menu and offer pairing recommendations. The atmosphere was lively and intimate, with traditional Colombian music and colorful decor that added to the festive ambiance.

Food was great and it was brought out fast. If I'm ever back in Nashville I'd definitely stop here again.

OMG so good! Prices really reasonable and the food is amazing. I spit this dish with my girlfriend and it was the perfect amount of food. Also had two empanadas.

I can stress enough how good and authentic this place is. Be prepared to practice your Spanish though-not much English is spoken here.

Can't wait to go back here!

Er love this place. Great people and food. (&usually music too!)
My husband orders the Bandeja Paisana and I get the Mojarra Frita. We never leave hungry!

We came here with a friend who was born in Colombia but was adopted at 3 months. He was so eager to try this place out and it did not disappoint in the tastes and service.

The ambiance was very calm as we came at 7pm but after about 30min there was soon a few tables being taken by locals hungry for some Colombian cuisine.

We're vegetarian so we ordered sides but our friends ordered meat dishes that looked yummy and said it the sausage and meat tasted just like what they had in Colombia less than a month ago.

Get the Lulo drink, sweet plantains, Guava and Cheese Empanada and the pandebono when you check out to take home, a sweet cheesy bread pastry: we got guava!

Highly recommend checking this unique restaurant out and supporting the culture along Nolensville Pike.

We'll be coming back with our friends soon enough!

Very good! I really enjoyed the arroz con pollo. It came with three sides so there was plenty to eat. It didn't take long to go our food. Overall, it was quite tasty and I enjoyed trying somewhere new.

Pasando por Nashville en camino a Dallas. Encontramos este lugar por casualidad y que delicia la comida. La idea era un desayuno rapido, pero terminamos ordenando mas cosas. Los buñuelos y el chocolate fue el remate perfecto.
Gracias a Stephany y Catalina que nos atendieron muy bien.
Gracias por todo.
Sorry no pictures. We jumped right in.

I ordered what was called "mini Sancocho" in order to try the dish on which I base my opinion of the authenticity of a Colombian restaurant. Sancocho is a classic, made with chicken (and some times other meats, like ribs) plus green plantains, potatoes, yuca and other veggies. Imagine my surprise, when I got home, to discover a small (mini:) container of salty broth! That's it! Nothing else in it. If you are using the word sancocho, it refers to the entire dish. And if you're referring only to the liquid, the broth, the word used is "caldo." If the menu had said caldo I wouldn't have wasted over $5 on a cup of broth and silver dollar sized arepa. Based on the broth, the color, the saltiness and no discernable taste of cilantro ( a customary flavoring)--I won't be going back to try a "Grande Sancocho." Very, very disappointing; I threw out.

Mi mama trabajo 4 años para este restaurante, por un accidente que tuvo alla mismo, cabe anotar que no tienen seguro para accidentes y obviamente no lecubrio su accidente, se tuvo que retirar. Y lo unico que saco fue que sus dueños la demandaran. Pesimo restaurante y no por las chicas que atieneden , porque ellas hacen demasiado.
