Cafe Havana

Whatever you think you want to eat, order 3 more things. It's so insanely delicious. And the milkshakes made with water!! We did guava, passionfruit and mango and all 3 were spectacular. And the tres leches cake. And the picadillo. And the empanadas. And the Cuban. And the coconut rice and chickpeas...♡♡♡♡♡. I wish we lived in Florida I would be here every week.

The food is amazing. The owner is a gracious, attentive host. He goes out of his way to make sure you are accommodated. He offers tastes of entrées and coffees.

Great place with excellent food and courteous staff. I was offered a shot of coffee as I waited in line, a very thoughtful gesture and it was delicious! Only negative was this very small man named Patrick who started crying loudly as he ordered. I thought he was a baby who was lost but he was actually just a little crying man.

All in all a superb experience! Genuine Cuban food at a reasonable price. We ordered the lunch specials...Super friendly service, fast and above all the food was great. Cafe Havana should be on your list when in Ocala and are looking for some delicious food.

The best cuban food and coffee in ocala!! I am obsessed with their shredded beef and shredded pork. The chickpea or red beans are the best sides and the plantains are a great way to end each meal. My only complaint is I can't eat here on weekends or for dinner.

Excellent, a Real Cuban Restaurant. Everything on the menu is delicious. Good service.

The best

The food here is delicious! We tried the roast pork platter, Piccadillo platter, Cuban sandwich, and cafe con leche. The servings are huge and the food was so hot and fresh. The staff is super nice and gave out samples of coffee. It was truly the best Cuban food I’ve ever had.

Will definitely go again!
The staff was awesome. They provided tastes of the different dishes to help me make my decision, but they were all so good it was hard to pick. Every dish was so flavorful and delicious
The meal was very filling as the portions were huge

EXCELLENT lunch. Cuban was the best we have ever had, rice with beans and sweet plantains was GREAT and just as good reheated for lunch the next day. Service was so friendly, caring about their food and a true family restaurant that cares about cleaning, service and especially the quality of their food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Awesome food, seriously everything I have had is soo good, and such good portions! Vaca frita, Ropa vieja, marsala chicken all excellent. The fried Yucca is delicious. Everyone there is so on top of service also. I was working across the street for a week and a half, the whole crew walked across the street every day! Lol I tried to order a Cuban one and I was told "No!" Your working hard over there you need real food! So I ended up with Vaca frita! And of course they were right! Definitely try it if you are anywhere close

Excellent customer service 👏 I was just passing by to Magnolia Ave close to 10th Street in Ocala. Am new in the area I pass by recently to buy coffee and ended getting also some Cuban style lentils soup, the atmosphere and attention was very welcoming.
The owners are very humble people, they made me feel like I was back home in The Dominican Republic with this delicious platters they're great to the community 😋.
Highly recommended 👌

The Food Is Amazing.If You Haven't Tried Go Now Worth Every penny

Food was great and the coffee was amazing. Never had cubano espresso and omg. It was delicious. Highly recommend from my cousin in law and family and they were right. We traveled from Orlando and it was so worth it.

Really love the roast pork with the onion and chicharrones, the shredded beef and the different pastries. Nothing comes out dry or too tough or underseasoned, everything is top notch and compares favorably to some of the better places in Tampa and elsewhere. Staff is very friendly and remembers your favorites.

Awesome food freshly made. Everything was great it sparks your taste buds. From Miami - Cuban have to admit it was good.

Absolutely amazing - as a Tampa person, I didn't expect the best cuban I've ever had to be here in Ocala. The place is incredible all around - sandwiches, plates, pastries

The food I'd amazing. Love this small business. I will forever give them my support 💯

I showed up at the busiest time so the wait for my sandwich was a bit long but it was oh so worth it. it has been almost 20 years since I had a Cuban this good, I could only eat half as I was stuffed. The fries where crisp and they didn't need any ketchup. I can't leave the coffee out even though there is no pic.

This place is fantastic. Truly a gem. You must try the coffee. Ask about the specials. Oh my goodness everything is completely delicious. We are so fortunate to have good food like this here. I be back!

Little Cuban restaurant, breakfast and lunch. This place has amazing food! I'm Cuban-American and this is the only place I've found that tastes anything like my mom's cooking in North Central Florida. Cuban coffee and café con leche perfecto. Tostada, pastelitos, postre, sandwiches, and lunch specials were all great! They have some lunch specials they only do a few times a week. Closed Sat and Sun, the only downside as I live 30 minutes away. Highly recommended if you want real home cooked traditional quality Cuban food. And cheap $9 for a lunch special, full plate of food.
