Off on the hunt again for REAL MEXICAN FOOD IN NASHVILLE! So far I'm impressed. This little Madera and Padre Mexican restaurant is in an old building and it's not fancy but the food/ prices makes up for all of that. Plus the service is on Point! Sometimes good things come in small packages! The Guacamole and chips are the freshest I have had other than in Mexico. The Michelada is very good too. Glass rimed with Tajin. All the plates we has were DELICIOUS And fresh. I may have found a second home! Try out if you want the real deal. I had the chili rellano and hubby had the barbacola plate. Very good!!!!

Do not go here! My wife and I both got really sick after. I was tempted to call the health department. Wondered if the put something in our food because I said our food was cold. Last time we went, our food came out cold! We ordered enchiladas and the cheese inside was cold. Not melted one bit. The enchilada sauce on top was cold. The chicken inside was cold! The beans were room temperature, like they were in the middle of heating up but gave to us before they were done. I said something and they come back with another plate that was overly hot, as if they threw it in the microwave. The enchilada sauce turned to pure liquid. We also ordered a tostada and the chicken on it was cold. Also 2 carne asada tacos, but only brought us 1. They charged $3 for a side of sour cream. That's more than what a 16oz tub cost. And you don't get chips and salsa! What kind of Mexican restaurant doesn't give free chips and salsa with dine in service?!

Wow, right off the bat we knew this place would be authentic! So many things to brag about. My friend got the horchata and it was very good! I got mole with this amazing spice sauce. It reminded me when I was abroad. My friend got the mixed fajita and it was amazing! Fyi no chips when you sit down like the other restaurants.

I would say this is the best Mexican restaurant in all of Madison, Tennessee! It's hard to beat homemade tortillas with fresh ingredients and great service! If you're ready for the real thing when it comes to Mexican food, you will not be disappointed.

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!!

El Cubilete IS our favorite Hispanic restaurant. My wife and I eat there 2 to 3 times a week. It is one of the best restaurants in Madison. If you're looking for a taste of Mexico by all means we highly recommend. The tacos are FRESH and made with REAL tortillas not the store bought things these are hand made I recommend tacos the carnitas excellent. We recommend any and everything on the menu from Flautas to the Soupa El Rey. Soup of the king Beef with vegetables even the loaded Fajitas. WoW and the chorizo is by far the best I have ever had. A wonderful lil taste of Mexico. It's usually FULL because the food is great

Love the food there, all the tortillas are handmade and the serving sizes are marvelous.
You might take the picture down of the outdoor view. Very misleading. We're from out of town and didn't know better. It's a strip mall location. Sure the food is good but we didn't want to eat in a small cube.

Possibly the best, most authentic Mexican meal I have eaten outside of Mexico. The food is perfection.
