The food was tasteful, you can feel the flavors of each dish! I ordered the pork with rice and beans and everything was delicious! The restaurant feels cozy and even the bathrooms were immaculate! Five stars

I come here for the Cuban sandwich and it’s always pretty good. Flavorful, fresh, and made right. It’s a nice little spot with a laid-back vibe and solid food. If you’re craving Cuban flavors in Ocala, this place is definitely worth a visit.

What a great find! The staff is friendly and helpful. The roast pork with rice and black beans was spot on. We also got the Cuba sandwich which was delicious. The servings are generous and served two people. Our only complaint is that their location is about 40 minutes from our house. We will definitely eat there again when we are in NE Ocala.

I love this Cuban spot in Ocala and coming from South FL, my husband and I were elated to find this restaurant. Their cafe con leche is one of the best I have had anywhere...cuban toast on point...pollo empanizado is epic. I walked in yesterday a little later than usual and was told no eggs were being served but the waitress hooked me up with bacon, toast and cafe con leche and I was more than satisfied...my bacon was cooked exactly the way I like it. I love the atmosphere, music and the staff is always super friendly. We are regulars and love this place...it is a little piece of home for us!

I consider this location to have some of the best tasting Cuban food in Ocala, their Cubano a traditional rendering of familiar ingredients Serano ham, pork and Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and steak sandwiches made with great "palomilla steak, stix fries , lettuce tomato, and sauteed onions are some of the best in the area! clean and inviting they do have a stage and host latin live music on occasion.

I absolutely love the warm and inviting atmosphere inside, which is beautifully complemented by the option for outdoor seating. The carefully curated decor creates a cozy yet vibrant environment, making it an enjoyable place to dine. The service is exceptional; the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels like a valued member of the family. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth truly enhance the overall experience.I enjoyed a mouthwatering steak sandwich that was bursting with flavor, and for dessert, I indulged in the most incredible flan I've ever tasted. It was the perfect ending to a delicious meal!

One of the very few noteworthy eateries in Ocala! My family and I go to this place on a weekly basis. Food is flavorful and appetizing. When you use quality ingredients you can literally taste the difference. We have tried different entrees here and so far not one has disappointed us. As far as service is concerned, it has always been great; even when they are busy. The servers walking around with a smile and ready to help. Our servers are always excellent; very attentive, with a positive, and friendly attitude every time we have been here. It is truly sad that all the restaurants where I have received poor service and encountered servers with zero people-skills and negative attitudes are mostly American restaurants. Truth hurts! I know! But this review is for Latin American Cafe, so, to sum it up, it is an excellent place to bring your friends and family, have great conversations, and enjoy food that will convince you to come back.
