    While walking through the World Equestrian Centers holiday displays we got hungry. Rather than opt for a formal dining experience in the hotel we discovered Filo's located right outside of the hotel but still on the property. It's an order at the counter place where my taco salad was made right in front of me. I was able to pick my ingredients which I really appreciate. I got the avocado crema & mild salsa on the side. I also ordered a Delish but super sweet mango margarita from one of the four swirling margarita machines behind the counter. My taco salad was large & plentiful & that avocado crema was so good. Others in my party ordered the bria tacos which came with a warm dark sauce which I was told was delicious. Another in my party ordered the chips & salsa. She said one of the best chips she's had. Which says a lot because she's from Cali where she's had her share of great Mexican food. Another ordered the tacos & found them quite tasty. You can dine inside or out. We chose to sit outside and had a view of a small ring where riders were warming up their stunning horses. Overall, if you're looking for an informal alternative to hotel dining on the property this is a great choice.

    We happened upon Filo's Mexican Cantina when we were walking around the World Equestrian center. Service was efficient and all employees were pleasant even the one on break in line ahead of me who confirmed my choice of burrito was good. You order and select all ingredients at the counter, ordering and paying was quick. The steak bowl ($15.75) and chicken burrito ($13.75) were good and the servings were large although I thought $42 was a little high for that plus 2 fountain drinks and a side of queso but I guess that is the sign of the times. When we arrived many of the tables had not been cleaned off. During our lunch multiple dogs were brought in the restaurant, none appeared to be service dogs. The restaurant is painted with bright colors and has large windows that make it bright and welcoming. The flow of customers was steady and appeared that many were regulars. We sat inside but there was also a patio where many were enjoying there meals.

    Staff greets you as soon as you walk through the door, Very clean and pleasant place to grab some food. The chicken quesadilla is tender and bursting with flavor.

    A hit with the whole family! We ate here for dinner today while visiting the Winter Wonderland and they have something for everyone. I got tacos andstreet corn, my husband got a burrito bowl and my mom got a chicken quesadilla. The service was quick and friendly and the food was fresh and delicious. It is a little weird that some items require you to get a food receipt and give it to the cashier,but it was not a big deal. The decor is funky street art inspired with really bright colors. The tacos were 3 for $14 and you have a variety of meat or grilled vegetables to choose from. They were delicious, but the burrito bowl was delicious too and was a much bigger portion. The street corn was pretty good. The burrito bowl was where it's at! It's a big, fresh bowl that you customize with whatever toppings you want. It's big enough for 2 people. We would definitely eat here again. Rating from F to A+++ I give it an A+++.

    3 Street Tacos

    Service is good, ladies were nice and explained any questions we had. Prices were astronomical, but we are at WEC so it makes sense. Street corn was okay, not authentic but good when you added mayo and salsa Valentina. Street tacos are more like chipotle rather than authentic street food. I left satisfied, but I wouldn't come back.

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.

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.

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
