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.

This is one of those places where you pay extra for the experience rather than just food …read more The decor is full of sugar skulls , cute lamps on the tables , fake plants all over including in the hanging lights . Food presentation is pretty nice , well above the normal but way under high end restaurants . From the amazing fresh flavorful salsa to the main meal everything is bursting with flavor . Some of the food is very rich to where you can not eat it in a single sitting . Service from the hostess to the waiter was great , very polite .

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

The cheese used should have been different maybe instead of a mozzarella.
