Over the past couple of months, I’ve determined I’ve two work personalities: the one who hits snooze a minimum of two occasions earlier than crawling away from bed and heading into the workplace and the one who will get up at any ungodly time in the midst of the evening, with out hesitation would possibly I add, to catch a flight for a piece journey. The previous two months have been a little bit chaotic, and albeit, I’ve spent extra time commuting backwards and forwards to BNA than I’ve in my bed- a superb downside to have every now and then.
Throughout my final stint at residence, the celebs and calendars aligned, and I had the chance to take a look at Maíz de la Vida’s brick-and-mortar location within the Gulch.
Like many Nashvillians, I used to be first launched to Maíz de la Vida by their taco truck outdoors of Chopper. If you happen to’ve ever had an opportunity to get pleasure from their quesabirria and consommé, you already know that Chef Julio Hernandez, a James Beard semifinalist, is the true deal relating to Mexican road meals. Now, with their new spot, you possibly can get pleasure from their insanely scrumptious, handmade tortillas and mouthwatering dishes in East Nashville and the Gulch.

Anticipate to see some new dishes that spotlight their love for conventional Mexican flavors, together with Mole Negro paired with duck and, for my vegetarians Mole Amarillo with cauliflower.

My advice- Order as a lot as you possibly can and plan in your subsequent go to. The menu is so attractive, it would be best to strive one among every thing. Don’t sleep on the Guacamole and Salsas– they’re removed from fundamental and have unimaginable taste and warmth. And people chips! Actually to die for.

Save a little bit of the salsa and gown up your Steak Taco, which is the right warm-up dish for the night.

Whereas my first alternative was the Carne Asada (apparently, it was widespread as they have been offered out that night), so I went with my second alternative, the Mole Negro. What a crowd-pleaser! To not point out a surprising presentation by Chef Julio and the group.

Sadly, Maíz De La Vida had not obtained its liquor license on the time of my go to. Nonetheless, it’s my understanding that they may have an intensive cocktail program, together with Mezcal service! I see that, in addition to just a few Margaritas and Palomas, in my future!
Whether or not you’re craving Queso Fundido, a Tostada, or one thing completely new and totally different, like mole, you already know it is going to be improbable. Maíz De La Vida is ideal for an informal meal with mates or a laid-back dinner date. So, seize your urge for food and prepare to make this your new favourite go-to spot!
Tariff | Antojitos begin at $8.00 and vary upwards of $20.00. Entrees or “Fonda Fina” are priced between $18.00 and $48.00. I’m not sure of cocktail costs as they have been unavailable throughout my go to.
Can’t Miss | So simple as it was, I beloved the Guacamole and Salsas and the Tres Leches De Cafe. I shall be ordering each throughout my subsequent go to.
Potential Go | Whereas I loved the Steak Taco, different dishes deserve some consideration.
Till Subsequent Time!
