So glad they are back in Nashville. More extensive menu than at the old location and ample seating. Great recommendations from the server.
Love Back to Cuba! Best authentic Cuban in Nashville. I couldn't be more happy they are back!
They reopened in the new location a couple weeks ago. It was cash only at the time. They didn't have credit card set up yet. Everything was absolutely delicious! Definitely going back again to try more.
We ate here last week. Decor is cute, lots of cuba posters and very comfortable. We had the Pan Con Lechon and the Pan Con Bistec. Both were excellent. Also had the empanadas, which were huge and incredibly delicious. The owner and staff were all very friendly. We can't wait to go back and try some other things. If you go, definitely get the empanadas!!
