Wow wow wow!!! I am thrilled to have Soy Cubano in West Nashville. Best cuban sandwich in town, we already knew that, but this new spot brings Cuban coffee (delicious Cuban style cortado and cafe con leche) as well as a warm ambiance. With both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a to go bar, it's perfect for all times of the day. Also, quick note to say how affordable everything is! YES! Thank you Phillip for being an amazing server and tending to our every need. read more

I finally got a chance to try this place and glad we did! We had the kids grilled cheese, Cuban Sandwich and fries! My kiddo loved his grilled cheese and it was huge (like an adult portion). I had a bite and it was delicious! Fries were good too - crispy and came with a mayo sauce! The Cuban sandwich was fantastic! It's a very generous portion and loaded with lots of meat inside. Bread was great too - outside was crusty and soft in the middle. So bummed I didn't grab a coffee while I was there! Saw the menu after we ordered and lots of great options! Excited to come back and try other dishes! Service was great and really quick! read more

I had a long weekend of traveling and Nashville was the next trip on the list. My body was desperate for something healthier and filling and coming to Soy Cubano was the perfect pick! My Yelp bestie took us to The Wash. There were plenty of other options nearby, but she told me the pollo a la plancha fit my description. I'm so happy I got this. We ordered takeout, but waited at one of the outdoor covered tables (everything at The Wash is outside). For a super affordable dish, you get plantains, yuca, rice and beans, and super delicious chicken. Although my review is just on this chicken dish, it was so tasty I am sure other things on their menu is just as delicious. read more

Soy cubano is def the most anticipated and must sought after spot in this outdoor food hall. I believe they bring the people in and for a good reason. I will preface that I am not a huge Cuban sandwich fan but I think they could take the cake for one of the best I've had. Nothing close to what Miami has but this is going to be the best you can get in Nashville for sure. Great lunch spot! Rough when it's super hot out because there is zero indoor seating.

This is the place I'll go to when I need my Cuban food fix. I got the pernil with congri and yuca with platanos. The rice was a little dry as was the pernil, but it was still good. I wish the yuca had more mojo as well. The flan was amazing, really enjoyed it. Overall I will be coming back when I'm craving Cuban food, which is often. read more

What a tasty little stall in The Wash! I recently stopped by Soy Cubano for a weekday lunch, and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a midday meal that's hearty and quick. I ordered online in advance, and my order was ready when I arrived 15 minutes later! Parking can be a bit confusing if you're not familiar with the area - but I found a spot on the street nearby with no issues. While this spot is known for its Cuban sandwich, I took the recommendation of a friend and ordered one of the plates. The Pollo a la Plancha is tons of food for $14 - tasty grilled chicken, savory black beans, perfectly cooked rice, and even a side of plantains! I also couldn't resist tacking on an order of beef empanadas, which were phenomenal. Some of the best I've had! read more

Soy Cubano - Beef Empanada - Cuban Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Part of "The Wash," an outdoor food court of diverse cuisines. Parking available on side streets nearby. Very quick service on a weekday evening. Ordered the frita burger and their current special, the ropa vieja (pulled pork on rice with sides of plantains and yuca). The star of the show for me were the sides; the plantain was sweet and a little crispy on the outside, and the yuca had a great partially mashed texture. The mains were too salty for me but very filling! read more

This is hands-down the best Cuban food I have had in Nashville! The black beans had so much flavor and were truly authentic Cuban flavors. The Cuban Sandwich had the freshest ingredients, the pork was so tender and it was pressed perfectly. PLEASE support this local spot. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is my second Soy Cubano experience, but first one for breakfast. They only provide window service, but have some outdoor seating available when the weather is nice. We took our food to go, and I was ready to dig in! I ordered the black bean chilaquiles, and man was it good! Everything was so flavorful, and made for a great bite! Tortilla chips, cooked in black beans, with two fried eggs....yum. And the garlic aioli, sriracha, and manchego to top it off was absolute perfection. The portion was pretty big, so I had a little left for later. Of course, I also had to get the guava cream cheese pastry for dessert. Let's just say I was all smiles when I was done. Safe to say Soy Cubano is normally in my list when I visit Nashville! read more

This place is located in East Nashville so I started with the congri and Empanada first. Yall.... that congri.... FYE!!! So I ordered the special! I can't believe I really didn't order any extra yuca with this LOL will let you know how it tastes! But that congri.... SEASONED! read more

Very good. I have no complaints. Although I will say I didn't think the Cuban sandwich was better than any other I've had, it was a great sandwich. There's NO indoor seating. You order at a window outside. Pro tip: you can have your sandwich delivered to the Bay 6 bar which has indoor seating with AC. Have a cocktail while you enjoy your sandwich. Pro tip 2: the parking lot is tiny but there's plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. read more

Cuban sandwiches are amazing! Plantains are amazing! Empanadas are so good! We also got the special but I don't know what it's called. My boyfriend loved it. We're from South Florida and this place tastes just like home. Came on a Saturday and they were open until 8:30pm. We almost didn't come because the hours online say they close at 8. I'm glad we called ahead and made it. This place is amazing! You order at a window and they have a covered area for you to sit at. The girls go took our order brought us our food. She was very nice. They also have an outdoor fire pit and one of the restaurants in the plaza is a cute bar. Fun place to hangout! read more

I met my husband when I lived in tampa. He and his entire family are native floridians. Coming from a small town in Tennessee cuban food had never been on my radar. I absolutely fell in love with it. Both of us had really wanted nashville to get a good cuban restaurant. Never in my wildest dreams did we think that we would find a real deal Cuban restaurant that was this authentic and every single time perfect. The quality control at this restaurant is on point. My husband moved here to be with me and I am so happy that this restaurant offers him a little slice of home. Well done!!! read more

One of the best Cubanos I have had was a place called Kool Korner in Atlanta (now south of Birmingham). The other best have been in Florida, primarily in the Miami-Dade area. This ranks up there, although a bit lower in my opinion. Let's set the scene. I was talking to someone whose family is from Cuba and said I would buy some Cuban food from Soy Cubano so we could try it. Another friend asked if I could get more, and so on. So, here is the menu for the night: Appetizers Beef Empanadas & Ham Croquetas Sammies Cuban Sandwich Frita Cuban Burger Mains Bistec de Palomilla Arroz Con Pollo Pollo a la Pancha Sides Black Beans and Rice Yucca Fried Plantains As a side note, the meals come with plantains and yucca, so you can save yourself some money (and leftovers) if you order meals. My view of the food. Appetizers: The ham croquetas were good, although I don't feel the aioli added anything. The beef empanadas were pretty pedestrian, although the beef does have a nice flavor. Next time, I will try the guava cream pastry and forgo both of these for other items I like better. Sandwiches: Cubana was good, but did not knock my socks off. I think I would much rather get a mojo pork platter, if offered, than the sandwich. The burger was unique (ground beef & pork + choriza with tomato sauce, swiss cheese and potato sticks) and tasty, although I don't think I would go that direction of. I am curious about the Chicken Cuban Club and Bikini Sandwich (manchego cheese with portabello mushrooms and truffle butter). Mains & Sides: The beans & rice are good, although even better underneath the palomilla. Arroz con Pollo was very good, although the Pollo a la Pancha stole the day for me. Chicken marinated in mojo with grilled onions on top. Chef's kiss. I always love friend plantains, so no issue here, and found yucca served more like boiled potatoes to be very nice. I could order those with a sandwich and be very happy. I will return at some point, but likely a stop at Two Peruvian Chefs first. read more

The best Cuban sandwich I've had around. The Mojo pork is so juicy, tender and flavorful. The empanadas are excellent quality as well. I'll be a regular. Also, I love how low-key The Wash is. No trendy menu or inflated prices, just quality international food and cozy outdoor seating. read more

Man it was so good. Don't hesitate. That cubano hit all the right spots. Went back the next day with the family. 2nd time was just as good.

Love their Cuban sandwich! I keep meaning to try other things on the menu but I can't get past their delicious sandwich!!

A strike of culture that this tiny food hall that the Wash has brought to East Nashville is great. They did really well with the original cuban. The chicken one is good but the pork is the way to go. Next time I'm just going to order the Mojo Pork so I can engorge in the goodness of how they cook their pulled pork. The toasted bread is the seal of approval when you eat their sandwiches. Can't wait for cooler weather to grab a cubano, some vermecelli at east side pho, a cocktail drink and soak in some rays. Also, you can get it delivered. It was nice and hot when we received it. read more

As a Cuban in Nashville, this really hit the spot. The croquettes are just as good if not better than Miami and all the food very well made.

I've received two strong recommendations from two Cubans for this place's authenticity, so I had to come! Situated amongst other small hole-in-the-wall restaurants, Soy Cubano had a lovely outdoor seating area with shade and many tables. We waited 15-20 mins for food, and the portions were generous! This was my first time trying Cuban food. I had the black bean plate--it was very filling and flavorful. I personally liked the plantains the best. The presentation was neat, and I still had some food left when I got full. Excited to come back again and also try the other restaurants! Many choices! read more

Take it from an actual Cuban. This food has been around me since I was born. I was eating plantains before I could talk. Do yourself a favor and eat here whenever you can. This is the most authentic you will ever get besides having a Abuela in your kitchen throwing it down. The Ropa Vieja and Cubano is fire. Everything is phenomenal. Service is always super friendly and they make you feel like you're a part of the family. Great ambiance at The Wash, plenty of seating and relaxed vibes. read more

This is one of those places I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. We're from Miami and in Nashville for a day. We were craving some Cuban food after being on the road for a few days. I'm a breakfast person & was surprised to see yuca and eggs on the menu. It's not traditional so I had to try it. WOW absolutely yummy. Staff was sweet. No indoor seating at their bay but your able to sit at the bar which is I think the first bay. Outdoor seating is also available. read more

OMG! The Soy Cubano team is amazing. Soy Cubano, for the moment, doesn't have a brick and mortar, they set up and cook at pop-ups all over Nashville. I was able to enjoy them at the Nashville Farmers Market where I ordered a Cubano sandwich and a papaya/cream cheese pastry. This sandwich was amazing! It had multiple textures and flavors and was just plain delicious. I ordered this to share with my son, but found myself greedily enjoying bite after bite. The sandwich is made to order and cooked right in front of you on a searing hot flat top. While I waited, I was given a sample of their Cuban coffee and an espresso. The coffee was sweet and delicious and the espresso had amazing bite. My son loved the sandwich, when I did give him bites, but he was mostly focused on the guava and cream cheese pastry. I was only able to snag two bites from him because he was just as greedy about this pastry as I was about the sandwich. The pastry was soft and the filling was delightful! A perfect contract to the savory sando. If I could, I would follow Soy Cubano all over Nashville just like some sort of weird foodie dead-head groupie. Party on and eat Soy Cubano! read more

QUE SABOR!!!! I loved the food at Soy Cubano. It was absolutely delicious. I usually only get the chance to eat good Cuban food when I vacation down in Florida, but I'm so excited to have found a spot here in Nashville that is just as good if not even better than my favorite spots in Florida! The yuca was perfect, and the meat was flavorful. Las croquetas were crispy and well seasoned! Despite there being a line, the food came out at a reasonable time, and the employees were very friendly. There was plenty of seating that is shared with the surrounding businesses which are also different food places, so there is a bit for everyone. Parking was tricky, but there is a lot a bit further up the street to park in. Overall, this is a great spot if you are looking for some seriously flavorful and authentic Cuban food! read more

Outside or to-go eating only. Service was good. Cute outside area to eat. Yuca was beyond bland. The rice and beans had a little bit more flavor. The Palomino steak was super yummy! Now to the Cuban... it is NOT traditional Cuban bread, but does have most the flavor of a real Cuban. The bread is so thin, it's like a barely there flat bread. The plantains were YUMMY. Overall, it was just ok for me. read more

I really wanted to like my Arroz con Pollo. It was probably good when it was made, but it tasted like that was several days ago. I know this dish has to be prepared in advance, but at some point it's too old to serve. My order was beyond that point. It was dry and, after reheating, overcooked. Plantains were good. read more
