Pupuseria Metapaneca

My boyfriend and I were in Nashville for my 32nd birthday from Alabama. His family is from El Salvador so I figured we would stop by for a taste of home. The horchata and plantain appetizer were delicious, as were the pupusas…we had mixed, beans with cheese, and loroco. We liked it so much we would drive back just to eat there again!

The food was delicious, they have good vegetarian options too! Try the Ayote con queso (squash and cheese) pupusa!!! The basic baleada is very yummy too! Muy rico todo, 100% recomendado!!!

Fast friendly the food is very good and the inside was clean

Delicious and authentic! We have become regulars here.

Nashville, Tennessee's Pupuseria Metapaneca is the very definition of hole-in-the-wall restaurant with 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.
