A family-owned food truck business is busy with exciting developments, preparing to bring its Cuban and Miami-inspired menu to a permanent location. Cuban Cracker Family Kitchen will be opening a restaurant inside Futbol5 Sports Complex, located at 240 Innovation Way, according to the company’s website.
The brand will be an on-site F&B option within the sporting facility, with a 1,500-square-foot dining space on the property’s second-floor mezzanine. It will have around 50 seats overlooking the indoor soccer fields, an open layout, and operate as a casual, quick-service eatery.
Owners Vince and Hollie Herrera told What Now Nashville that construction is underway, with drywall going up this week. They have been sharing updates on social media as work progresses. Remaining permitting, insurance requirements, and operational inspections will move forward alongside construction. The Sumner County Beer Board has also approved a beer permit for canned beer and seltzers.
The Herreras hope to debut the venture later this year or in early 2027. Cuban Cracker launched its food truck operations in October 2024, bringing traditional Cuban dishes and culture to communities throughout Middle Tennessee. The business also serves universities, local businesses, weddings, festivals, and private events with its catering business, and makes and sells its own Cuban coffee.
“Cuban Cracker started with our family sharing the food and culture we grew up with, but it has become much bigger than us. This restaurant is for every person who supported the food truck, told a friend, shared a post, or simply believed in what we were building. We want it to feel like their restaurant too,” they told What Now.
The restaurant’s menu will center on Cuban and Miami-inspired food, including Cuban sandwiches, Media Noches, Pan con Lechón, Pan con Bistec, mojo chicken, and Cuban-style bowls. Additional offerings will include Cuban pastries, croquetas, flan, and specialty refreshments.
Its beverage selection will feature canned beer and nonalcoholic options alongside Cuban coffee drinks, including cafecito, cortadito, café con leche, and an iced flan latte. Through their Cuban Cracker Coffee Co. business, the Herreras roast and sell coffee locally and offer hands-on coffee experiences.
