  Got off the exit to get some gas and use the bathroom. Asked the gas attendant where can I get coffee. She said next door. So we walked over and found the best place for cafe con leche and a cuban sandwich. I would drive from anywhere to come back to this place. The food, coffee and the ladies were the greatest. Do yourself the favor and stop by. Oh..... get 1 chicharron to go. That was 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

  When you know, you know. The Cuban is massive, shared it with my brother. The BLT was excellent, very fresh and delicious. Next time I am getting dessert.

  Tom’s Cuban on the Go turned a simple road-stop into one of the most memorable meals of my Florida vacation. Tucked beside a gas station in Ocala, it might look unassuming from the outside, but the moment I walked up to the window, I could tell this place is something special.The Cuban sandwich was everything you want it to be on vacation: hot, pressed perfectly, with crusty bread, melty cheese, and layers of flavorful pork and ham that tasted slow-cooked and seasoned with care.The portion was so generous I could have easily shared, but it was so good I didn’t want to give up a single bite. Their sides and pastries were just as impressive – from the empanadas to the stuffed potato balls and sweets in the case, everything looked and tasted homemade and fresh.The coffee deserves its own shout-out. The Cuban coffee and café con leche were rich, smooth, and strong enough to wake up even the most tired traveler, turning a quick stop off I‑75 into a little burst of Miami-style energy in the middle of North Florida. It paired perfectly with their pastries and made it feel like a mini café experience even though I was technically “on the go.”Service was warm, fast, and genuinely friendly, the kind of family-run hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even if you’re just passing through on vacation.My food came out quickly, piping hot, and the staff took time to explain the menu and suggest favorites, which I really appreciated. The outdoor seating and easy parking by the gas station made it convenient to grab food, stretch my legs, and get back on the road without feeling rushed.If you’re traveling through Florida and anywhere near Ocala, Tom’s Cuban on the Go is absolutely worth going a little out of your way for. It’s the kind of hidden gem that makes you want to plan your next road trip around when you can stop there again.

  A perfect representation of high quality authentic Cuban. Some of the best food is experienced in gas station locations.

  The food was pretty good. We liked everything except the plantains. Normally, I love plantains, but the way these were cooked. They were too sweet and mushy. The Cuban sandwich and the Cuban coffee were both quite good. Service was good. It’s next to an Exxon station. The food was a little more expensive than what you would expect for this. It’s not a place where you can dine inside, but they do have a couple of picnic tables outside and if you have a dog, they are allowed as well.
