🤠 Howdy -

Back to Cuba was a Nashville staple for 18 years before closing in 2020. It reopened in 2024, just a couple of miles down the street from the original location. Alejandro and Rebecca Martinez started the restaurant using recipes from Alejandro’s mother. It quickly became the go-to spot for authentic Cuban cuisine in Nashville.

Their menu is extensive, their portions are huge, and everything has the perfect Cuban flavor. Let’s hope they are here for another 18-plus years!

  • 📍Location: Nippers Corner

  • 🍴Recommendation: Cubano, or anything really

  • ⭐️ Highlight: Portions, authenticity

🔎 Last Eaten Review: Cubano

The bread is freshly baked daily and has the perfect crisp crust and fluffy middle. This picture only shows half of the sandwich. If you love Cubanos or have never tried one, this is the sandwich for you.

Roasted pork, sweet ham, deli ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mayo & mustard.
