We went on a Wednesday, where the special was fajitas for $5.99 - such a good deal. My husband got the steak fajitas and I got the camerones a la diabla. The chips and salsa were so good. The chips were crunchy and thick. Good for dipping. I was disappointed that I didn't find any of the same chips in the supermarket attached to the restaurant. I'd come back for sure!

La Hacienda is a local Mexican Restaurant /Grocer that is a popular spot to shop and eat. It is…read morecasual but authentic "Non Tex" Mexican, Latin and Spanish food delicious tasting better than when made at home! In the grocery you can find various grocery items including fresh and packaged. There is breakfast, lunch and dinner and taco Tuesday which can get packed. I love the burritos, quesadillas, carnitas, fajitas and fresh guacamole. They're fabulous with a great selection of prepared foods, deli, and vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The workers here are helpful even though this place can get extremely hectic. I'm positive that a lot has to do with the excellent management. At La Hacienda it is apparent that they care deeply about the community and their customers! This is the kind of store that many visit daily for something quick to eat and a chat. They may have forgot an ingredient and walking in is comforting and convenient at the same time! We always go back !

Legit authentic Mexican food. We got chips and salsa right away when we sat down. They were just…read moreokay, which is usually a bad sign. I ordered a pork stuffed poblano pepper. This was a very large pepper and I am certain they could not have stuffed one more chunk of pork in. I am a big fan of Chile rellenos but this took it to another level. The beans and rice were fresh and made in house daily. The beans were good and the rice was fluffy. I was trying to order a hot sauce found in most Mexican restaurants but could not remember the name. The server suggested i try the homemade green hot sauce. This was excellent, if you like hot sauce be sure to try it. We finished the meal with a cheesecake chimichanga. This is a fun idea but I recommend sharing. The paint and decor was the bright colors often found in a Hispanic places. Very lively. Everything was perfect.

I did think that the refried beans tasted weird like burned cooking oil ... Didn't want to believe that the food was potentially not good but after my mother got sick and it took 3 days for her to recover .., it's safe to say .. we will never be back.

Casita Luna is an absolute gem in Ocala. The tacos here are amazing. I tried the al pastor,…read morechicken, and asada, and all of them were great. The chicken and al pastor were my favorites and super flavorful. The house made green and red salsas really take everything to the next level. Both are fresh and bold. I also tried my husbands burrito and it was huge and so good, with the perfect ratio of rice, beans, and meat in every bite. He said the best he's had in florida so far. Do not skip the horchata either. It was excellent and the perfect complement to the food. Seating is a bit limited right now, but they are expanding next door soon, which is great to hear. You can really tell how much love goes into this place. I love Casita Luna and will absolutely keep coming back.

After seeing positive reviews on Yelp, my wife and I decided to try this place out. We typically go…read moreto La Hacienda for our Mexican food fix but opted to try something different for lunch. This place is quite small/cramped. We placed our order then found a high table for two. We both like carnitas so I ordered the Carnitas Burrito and my wife tried their Carnitas Quesadillas. Our observations: 1. This place does NOT provide complimentary chips and salsa. What?!!! 2. Carnitas flavor was lacking in our opinion. We liked the seared tortillas but were underwhelmed by the flavor 3. Service was friendly and food came out fast enough 4. We didn't think the value was there. 5. Ample parking in front. All in all, our experience fell short of high expectations. We'll be sticking with La Hacienda. Lunch for 2 (just water to drink) came out to just under $35 with tip.

My #1 mexican restaurant in the Ocala area…read more As you know, and you can see, by the number of checkin's and reviews I write about mexican restaurants... that I have a thing for mexican food. It's probably because I have lived in California so long and also... I think I have an addiction to refried beans as well... (and black beans). When you workout, expend a lot of energy or have a long day of work.... refried beans are like a shot in the arm.... it gives you instant energy. Besides.... I on a no pasta, bread, pastries, dessert or sugary things diet...so that means... I focus on "how much protein I can obtain with just one meal". So Im a very protein focused person and I like to get my money's worth. La Catrina's sauces on things are spectacular. I love it! The food just tastes that much more interesting than it normally does. This is a feat and a half. It's difficult to make most mexican food interesting... we are all so used to it by now. Probably the only place you can go to get interesting and gourmet mexican food is Mexico City (so I've heard)......but out here in Ocala ??... this restaurant does a pretty good job. The service is great too

I had the Chimichanga Verde. Absolutely delicious...moist pork and a great sauce on top. My wife…read morehad a Birria Quesadilla and she loved it. In all my Mexican foods experience I'd never heard of "birria" until I saw it on a menu about six months ago. In case you've never seen it it is a slow cooked piece of beef made into soup with some vegetables including onions and cilantro. It was very tasty. CC offers it as a soup or as a filling for all the common entrees. Our quesadilla was filled with it, plus cheese, of course, and also a small side bowl of the soup. I think what I liked best was the broth and that I could clearly taste the cilantro. One thing I forgot today is that they make exceptionally tasty refried beans and neither of our entrees included the them. On reason we like CCs so well is that they have beautifully decorated the place. Definitely more upscale than your typical Mexican eatery.

It was cold and clumpy within 1 1/2 minutes. It was so cold that I shook so bad and could not even eat let alone enjoy the food. We will never be going back. Clean up the filth and stop putting people in a little teeny tiny cubby hole.

I was meeting friends for lunch. 2 of us are fairly new to Ocala so the other friend suggested here and I said yes immediately! I was unsure of what I wanted so I reviewed the menu for a while after sitting down. We decided to sit inside, at a high top. The bartender came around to greet us and serve us. He was very attentive. Although it was not super busy, they had a massive to go/ catering order so that took up some time in the kitchen. It's okay because we were catching up and in no rush to eat. I ordered a buffalo chicken taco and a side of street corn initially, which both were delicious. I was still hungry so I ordered another buffalo chicken taco. I ordered a burrito for my husband to go, which he said was delicious. We did not have alcohol but they have a full bar with plenty of specials. There is also a large patio outside, with plenty of seating. I will definitely be back!
