    This was a place we can’t wait to bring friends and family! There wasn’t a dish we didn’t enjoy. Of course they are known for their quesabirria, which remains consistent from their food truck dish of the same name, so it is a must. The flautas give you that satisfying crunch with each bite and they’re dressed to give you an extra kick of flavor. There’s a variety of tacos, and I must say the real star there is the tortilla! We topped everything off with the Tres Leches Cake which was everything you didn’t know you needed in a cake. We opted for the chef’s counter which offered its own series of surprises that also made their mission of community really come through!

    The food here is second-to-none. Absolutely phenomenal flavors with every morsel. Plus, the service is insanely fast and our server was helpful and affable. Superica is a hidden gem in Nashville (literally -- it's tucked away in a corner deep in an alley), but it's always a destination for me and my wife.
