Here is a list of the Nashville restaurants that are offering takeout or delivery options
Photo: https://ift.tt/32SXrHNMuch of the restaurant industry has had to rapidly change its business model due to COVID-19, and we’re highlighting the Nashville places that are attempting to stay open. We will give you a critic’s pick for a restaurant and a dish, as well as a running list of restaurants still open that you can support. Today's pick: Pie Town Tacos.
In yet another brave, brave venture by a couple of entrepreneurs willing to damn the torpedoes and go full speed ahead, Jason and Lea Crockarell of Flavor Catering opened their new Pie Town Tacos restaurant right in the teeth of the pandemic. Despite the fact that they’re still waiting on final codes approval to get into their own kitchen and start inviting guests inside their building in the former Hot Diggity Dogs location at 614 Ewing Ave., the couple has managed to launch their business out of their food truck parked in front of the building. Customers can pick up their food from a table under a tent to take home or to enjoy on the enclosed back patio of the restaurant, so they’re figuring out how to make do.
In a city full of taco joints at just about any price point you’re willing to fork over, Pie Town Tacos occupies the nice Goldilocks Zone with street tacos for $3 apiece and what they call Nashville-style options for $0.50 more. Their traditional tacos are fine versions of the expected chicken, el pastor, carne asada and chorizo tacos. That last one was a special treat, nicely spicy without the usual excess of grease dripping down your forearm at first bite.
At Pie Town Tacos, “Nashville-style” means hot, but not necessarily hot chicken hot. The flavor profile of the spice mix is familiar without being too blazing to taste the fried chicken, fish or cauliflower that it coats. I was particularly impressed by the vegetarian option, something you rarely hear me say at a taqueria.
That delicious chorizo is also the base of two attractive bowl options, one served with potatoes and the other made using chorizo-spiced tofu with beans and rice. Again, I actually preferred the veggie version, leading my girlfriend to question if I had turned into one of the Pod People from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I told her I wouldn’t tell her if I was and to please pass the tofu.
The other surprisingly elevated dish I tried is normally a mundane calorie choice, cheese dip. Unlike many quesos that are just an afterthought to the menu and an excuse to eat more chips, this queso actually tasted like cheese instead of melted styrofoam. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I asked for the addition of some of that chorizo as an upgrade.
So, to sum up: Pie Town Tacos = very good. The owners = very brave. The chorizo = craveable.
They hope to be back inside their own restaurant very soon, so I can only imagine that it will get even better. Drop by and check out this fun new addition to Pie Town.
