Nela's Tacos — Restaurant in Cleveland

I ate at this place with 2 of my co-workers. We arrived around 11:37 AM. This is one of those places where you place your order at the counter, pay for it, take a number for your table, and then seat yourself. One of my co-workers ordered chips and dip and sopes. My other co-worker ordered fish tacos. I ordered 1 pupusas with carnitas, 1 baleadas especiales with beef tongue, and 1 baleadas with egg. The total amount of time for our food to arrive was 13:59 minutes. The interior of the restaurant does have some wear and tear here and there, but nothing really bad. As for the bathroom, its a single person bathroom that I'd say was "Walmart bathroom" quality (though everything worked). But overall, those things didn't bother me. As for the food itself, we all really enjoyed our respective orders. One thing none of us knew was that on the right side of the restaurant was an ice cream parlor (which is part of Nela's Tacos, so its not like a completely separate business in the same room). This parlor had a decent variety of Hershey's ice cream flavors, but you could also get Latin smoothies/beverages and other kinds of frozen desserts. I didn't partake in any desserts, but my co-workers did. The fish taco co-worker got 1 scoop of coconut ice cream, which he said was superb. The sopes co-worker got 1 scoop of coconut chocolate almond ice cream, which he enjoyed. Last thing I'll mention is that the people working at the restaurant were very sweet. Overall, this was a great place for a group lunch and I think each of us will be coming back...

I've always passed by this area but I didn't realize that there was a taco place and la michoacana here! My friend and I stopped by for lunch to try their food. When we walked inside we realized that both places were combined inside which was cool. It was very spacious with many tables and places to sit. We came on a Tuesday for lunch, it wasn't that busy.

I ordered a Carne Asada plate and chose flour tortillas. It also came with a Jarritos drink too, you can choose which flavored drink you want from the fridge by the counter. My friend got a pupusa, and carne asada (beef) and chicken tacos.

The carne asada was phenomenal. I was really surprised at the portion of beef that came with my plate, it was huge. Not only that, but it was flavored and seasoned so well. It was savory and tasty. The frijoles (beans) and arroz (rice) was good, and the veggies on the side tasted very fresh. I took a bite of my friend's beef taco too and it was great.

Every bite from my dish was great, I loved it. The only thing was that I wish the sides were a little bigger in proportion to the carne asada. For me, the sides are just as important as the protein. So I wish they gave a little more to balance out the whole dish. Other than that, I liked what I ordered. I'd come back for the carne asada...

I have officially been virtually trasported to honduras!!!! I had the pastelitos and they are phenomenal!!! The mix of flavors and explendid presentation are just BRILLIANT! I am surprisingly impressed by this little humble restaurant in the middle of Cleveland Tennessee. Not in my wildest dreams I thought I could find something so authentic so delicious in the middle of nowhere. It is noticeable The pride they take in the delivery and the taste of their dishes. Everything was served at the right temperature fresh and with a smile in their face. I wish I had better words to describe the taste of every single item that made up a dish... from the tomato relish to the slaw & the sauces, to the rice & the meats as! well as their impecable attention to detail! The "baladas" art of vegetarian dish and I must admit absolutely delicious just marvelous! The pupusas are 3$ but are larger than usual with HOMEMADE masa and ingridients...and the quesadillas are $3.50 all dishes are MADE TO ORDER super fresh!!! What an Amazing find!!! A MUST TRY! Ask for miriam and Rafael!!! Rafael made sure to take tge time to ezplain every dish in excellent detail. I wad told i mist try the "pollo con tajada". This dish is their signature dish and it takes about 30 minutes to prepared!! I will be...
