If you don't see what you want, cause I found they had fresh croquettes in the back. Owner is fully bilingual and very friendly. Large dining area offers you spacious clean dining tables or take your order to go. Prices are very affordable and the food was delicious. Best part for me, of Cuban food is the flavor without the heat. The empanadas were delicious both the beef and the chicken. Perfectly seasoned without tons of grease. Recommend in the area, stop by for a pastry, appetizer or sandwich.

The decor is so thoughtful, even down to little table side fresh flowers. They have a nice covered patio dining area as well. But can we talk about the food? I tried out a Cubano and a guava and cheese pastry. The Cubano actually had sliced of roast pork which is very different than the pulled pork you get served at most places. It's up there with some of the best Cubanos I've have in Tampa. But wait a minute. Their guava cheese pastry? Literally the best I've had in my life. Literally. Not an exaggeration. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu and more of their delicious pastries. What a gem of a place. Great people. Great food. Great vibes. 10/10.

My wife and I received a gift certificate for this place from our friend and realtor after we…read moreclosed on our house in Ocala, having moved here from Central Texas. Located in a strip mall anchored by a Roses Discount Store, the place looked dark from the outside and the "Open" sign didn't appear to be lit but we knew they were open because of various Open yard signs in front of the establishment. Upon walking in, we were seated right away and presented the menu. They have daily specials but they didn't have pernil, although they had lechon asado like most of the Cuban/Latin American restaurants we've tried in the area. I ordered the lechon asado which came with yellow rice, fried plantains and red beans. My wife tried their Midnite Cuban sandwich. The lechon asado was flavorful (but of course no crunchy skin) and the yellow rice was good as well. My wife's sandwich, however, was a disappointment! The roast pork had an off taste and was gristly...she had to remove that meat from her sandwich. I tried her roast pork and was thinking of sending it back but my wife just removed all the meat from her sandwich. Perhaps we'll be back but definitely not ordering the Cuban sandwich again. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $30 with tip.

At the cash register was a big sign that states: "Cash only". There is an ATM machine right by the cashier. Hence, the 4 stars. We ordered our food : beef empanadas, masitas, fish sandwich, Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich and ropa viejo. For drinks, we had iced teas and sodas. They came in huge, heavy glasses - like a tankard! I would say that the portions were large in general. Everyone loved their food. I enjoyed the ropa Viejo -it was very flavorful. The beef was tender and tasted very good. Our servers were friendly and efficient. They refilled our glasses constantly Will definitely come back here if we are back in the area. Just have to remember to bring cash!!

She was unwelcoming and acted like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. The food was mediocre at best. The rice was bland and the pork was dry and hard. Nothing else we ate stood out but I would have considered giving this place another chance to try other items on the menu but after the way we were treated i have no interest in returning. ESPAÑOL Terrible, terrible servicio. La muchacha del frente tenía una actitud muy mala que arruinó por completo la experiencia. Ella no fue placentera y actuó como si la estuviéramos molestando solo por estar allí. La comida es mediocre en el mejor de los casos. El arroz sin sabor y el cerdo estaba seco y duro. Nada más que comimos destacó o nos hizo querer volver. Haría considerado darle a este lugar otra oportunidad para probar otros artículos del menú, pero después de la forma en que nos trataron, no tengo ningún interés en volver.

We stopped to get gas as we were traveling to central Florida and saw the takeout storefront as we drove by. We were pleasantly surprised with the authentic Cuban sandwiches we ordered. They did not skimp on the meat and it large enough to make two meals out of it. We also bought guava pastries and quesitos. They were so yummy. The service was quick and orderly. I guess with how the price of eating out is going up everywhere, this place was a bit pricey too. $42.00 for two Cubans, two guava pastries and two quesitos. Other than the price Tom's Cuban on the Go is a must try.
