Superica - Nashville
$$$$•Mexican•4.9(191)Superica
– “where sunshine spends the winter” – also known as Tex-Mex cuisine served in an Old-West-inspired atmosphere alongside music inspired by Austin.
The cuisine is a combination of 1950s Tex-Mex and the wood grill that has taken the food to another level by way of fajitas and more. An “evolved Tex-Mex menu,” includes the classics: tacos, nachos, tamales and enchiladas plus more intricate dishes such as wood-grilled fajitas and shrimp tacos always served with just-made flour tortillas, all while paying homage to the traditions and recipes that have been a part of the Texas culture for decades.Emmy Squared Pizza - Gulch
$$$$•Pizzeria•4.8(287)Emmy Squared Pizza: The Gulch offers Nashville's best Detroit-style pizza, alongside craveable bites and a full bar featuring specialty cocktails. Join us for Happy Hour Monday–Friday from 3 PM–6 PM. The top choice for crafted pizza in Nashville.
In 2014, Emily and Matt opened their first restaurant in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, with a goal to create quality pies. A trip to Detroit changed everything: they loved the local style, the crispy cheese edge, airy dough, and bold red sauce. They knew pairing this base with chef-inspired toppings would be special.
Back in Brooklyn, they began experimenting with organic flour, aged cheeses, fresh tomatoes, and combinations like truffle/mushrooms or pesto/Calabrian chilies, perfecting that crave-worthy cheese crust. In 2016, they unveiled their Detroit-style take with Emmy Squared Pizza. They remain committed to crafting the country's most thoughtful pizzas. We hope you enjoy them!
Detroit-Style Soul, Brooklyn Born.
