Paradise Bakery And Cuban Food

Read the reviews on Google and thought I would stop at this out of the way little restaurant. I ordered the Media Noche sandwich and unfortunately it wasn't very good. A woman took my order and then went to the back, which I thought was a good sign cuz maybe she would be cooking up my sandwich. But instead I heard the infamous beep I have a microwave and quickly realized that a sandwich was just being heated up. It's really just a pile of ham, a teeny bit of pork or what I'm guessing was pork, and a gooey substance that I guess was cheese. I half of it and brought the other half home. You guessed it... When I unwrapped the other half of the sandwich it was hard as a rock, which is what happens when you warm bread in the microwave. Anyway, I would skip this place and find another real Cuban restaurant in the Ocala area.

Best food I have had in Florida hands down. People here are lovely. They treat u like family. If you like good food you come here. Should be your #1 lunch stop in Ocala.

The food is delicious, the portions are so big, and the owners are so very friendly. The cafe con Leche is so good so very very good.

I love Paradise Bakery! It has a variety of Cuban cakes, pastelitos, empanadas, croquetas, papas rellenas, and sweets. Let's not forget the daily food specials, which can include: ropa vieja, steak, chicken, rice, beans, yuca, and/or maduros. My all time favorite though is the pan con bistec (Cuban style steak sandwich), which is what I usually order with my Jupina! Great place! I can eat there or take it to go! Love it! We need you in the shores!

Wonderful authentic Cuban Cuisine. Friendly staff and owner. We spoke briefly with the owner while enjoying our meal and we're informed they are opening another place in Belleview soon. We are looking forward to it. I wanted to add that the bakery section has a wonderful array of desserts and folks with extreme cake decorating abilities. We simply love this place and visit as often as we can.
