    Pineapple agua fresca
    Alexis B.

    We were nearby for a meeting with our contractor. She lives in Madison and recommended Fonda El Cubilete as an authentic restaurant nearby. And I'm glad she recommended it. We started with a pineapple agua fresca and an horchata. My husband got the barbacoa, which was delicious: tender and braised in a really good, rich sauce. I had the poblano chicken, which was a some pounded chicken with cheese and poblano slices and onion and a creamy (and a little spicy) sauce. It was good. The frijoles were tasty. Quick, tasty, affordable. Not a bad meal! I'd be happy to go back when I'm next in Madison!

    Cheese tamale- delicious

    This place is definitely a hidden treasure. Very good food. My friend and I ordered the cheese tamale, beef tacos, pastor tacos, goat soup that came with mexican rice and homemade Tortillas . All very reasonably priced definitely going back

    Poblano Chicken and a Chile verde inspired dish

    Authentic?? How many times places claim this. Let me start by saying I'm from California and I know "authentic Mexican" food. Since moving to Nashville I have yet to find "authentic Mexican" food. Until now - El Cubilete delivered!!! Finally!! Fresh made tortillas, properly seasoned meat and authentic Spanish rice. I had the poblano chicken while my boyfriend had what is basically their take on a Chile verde. Everything was delicious! Dint let the front scare you away. This was definitely worth the long drive. And, oh yes, we will be back!!

    Pollo Chipotle with corn tortillas, omg good.

    This is probably the most authentic Mexican food in Nashville. You will not find a duplicate menu of exactly the same recipes like almost every other Mexican place I have been to. Instead your getting fresh well prepared food made with love. What you will not get is alcohol (other than cervezas), but the food is good enough to stand on its own. I knew when I walked in this place was the real deal, and you will as well, just don't be taken aback. Service is not very good but I honestly didn't expect it would be so no worries. I will very likely return, but it does get packed at dinnertime, so keep that in mind.

    Mole sauce. Spicy and tasty

    Love the Mole! You get two chicken legs covered in mole with rice, beans, and tortillas. I shred the chicken and make tacos!

    Straight to 5 stars, do not collect any thing as pass Go, just go! Nothing fancy to look at, you…read moreorder outside pickup inside then you eat. Your taste buds are in for a treat. The tacos are bursting with flavor, best fish tacos I've had outside of California (excluding Mexico itself). Crisp batter and 2 corn tortillas packed with yum. Carnita and pulled pork were to die for, I didn't have the the carnita but the look on my wife's face said I die if I took hers! Good job my mouth was full of the delicious pulled pork. We will be back! And try the the pepper and cheese send your taste buds into overdrive and make your lips tremble with inclusion!

    A small place with a lotta charm. This was a recommendation.from a friend who lived several years…read morein Nashville. We looked it up and it kinda looked like a dive, but he had a strong recommendation so we decided to go. Boy were you wrong. It's an older restaurant, but when we arrived, it was so packed. There was no parking for a block or more. Tons of people just come and get takeout. There aren't many tables inside. We found a table on sat and ordered from the menu. The menus was rustic but the margaritas were good and we all ordered tacos. They come out like street tacos. Make sure you use the green sauce, Verde. They have Mexican street corn, I highly recommend this, it's perfect. Also the Horchata is delicious
