La Vaca Frita - Ocala

Here’s my honest review: When my sandwich was served, my first impression was, "Wow, this is huge!" However, upon opening it, I noticed that the meat was primarily piled in the center, and there was quite a lot of bread. The Cuban sandwich was decent—not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst. The fries were good, and the complimentary fried plantains were also enjoyable. I give this place 4 stars because I left feeling full, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. The food was just average, though, and to be honest, I probably wouldn't return. That's just my take.

We just stopped by for lunch after the retreat, and we were thrilled to discover such fantastic Cuban food! The flavors were rich and delicious, and the service was very friendly!

Delicious food and an exceptional waitress who assisted us Mexicans with the menu options. I highly recommend the lechón (roast pork) plate with a side of mixed rice, beans, and fried sweet plantains (maduros). Everything was excellent! I almost forgot to mention that I enjoyed a café de leche after our meal, which is similar to a latte. Thank you, Isis, for your attentive service and warm hospitality. Your mother is a fantastic cook!

So glad we stumbled over this Cuban restaurant in Ocala, Florida! We ordered färsen and crab cake (on site – today special), Mariquitas, Friituras de malanga, Tequeños, seafood plated and Cuban coffee. We were pleased that she made Cuban coffee stronger on request (where one of us chose traditional Cuban coffee (cafe con leche). The food was excellent — fresh with robust flavors! The sauces were also amazing — the Zilantro sauce was our favorite, but we all tried their sauces! You need to try all their sauces during your visit as they complement the food very well. Excellent and fast service – the staff was professional, friendly, friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. It is a family-run business and the taste of Cuban cuisine was authentic! We will be back to taste their deserts such as Tres Leches, Flan de Coco, and their shakes in different flavors such as soursop, passion fruit and many other tropical flavors.

We decided to stop by here for an early lunch. The food was delicious and the waitress was very friendly. Inside was clean and open seating, very bright. Cortadito was great too. The tamal was like an inside-out tamal with only masa and all the filling outside, but still tasty. Each dish was a lot of food, worth the price. Took a cuban sandwich to go, that was great too, you could tell everything was made fresh. Definitely plan on returning.
