Chivanada

Established in 2018. CHIVANADA is a food truck specializing in gluten-free Colombian empanadas. We cater for any size event including weddings, corporate events, and private parties. As a Nashville native, Daniel was inspired by the emergence of the food truck scene in the mid-2000s. Having worked a desk job for several years, he found himself ready to leave corporate America behind and start his own food truck. He bought a school bus out of Atlanta and brought it back to Nashville. There, he and his brother Kai transformed it into a modern take on the Chiva, a traditional art bus found in the rural regions of Colombia. Since they had created a Chiva that served empanadas, the name CHIVANADA was a natural fit. Daniel quit his desk job and now makes empanadas for the people of Nashville full time. Daniel currently lives in Germantown with his brother and business partner Kai.
