Every bite was packed with incredible flavor, and the dishes tasted like they came straight from a family kitchen in Mexico. Jose was absolutely fantastic! He was friendly, attentive, and made our entire experience even more enjoyable with his excellent service and great recommendations. The atmosphere is just as impressive as the food. The beautiful, authentic Mexican décor makes you feel like you've stepped into a charming restaurant in Mexico, and the bar is absolutely stunning--one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's the perfect place to relax with an amazing margarita or tequila while soaking in the ambiance. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, outstanding service, and an unforgettable dining experience, this is the place. As someone who spends a lot of time in Mexico, I don't hand out compliments like this lightly. This restaurant exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

We have been going to Don Pepe's for years. We always order the chicken tacos. Tonight we went…read morethere and ordered the chicken tacos and my husband ordered the chicken tacos but upcharge to the steak. The menu price shows $7 for 3 chicken tacos and then a $2 upcharge for the steak. When we received the bill, we were charged $9.50 for the tacos and $2.00 for the upcharge. I complained to the person at the register and she said, "We have the right to change prices." Excuse me, but when you have a price on your menu that is what the customer expects to pay and NOT A BAIT AND SWITCH. I will be calling the owner tomorrow regarding this situation, but DO NOT GO TO DON PEPE'S unless you want to be ripped off!! Tonight was the last time we will step foot in their establishment.

Pretty standard fare for the complimentary chips and salsa. The queso was nothing special but the service was very friendly. The chicken chimichangas were very good (well seasoned) and I wish you could hear the fajita sizzling in my picture and smell it. Wow! Very good flavors for the most part - in some ways, flavors that rival perennial favorites in Ocala.

Frida's Tacos & Tequila has fresh and wonderful flavors and incredible food. Different than most…read moreplaces in the Ocala area in my opinion. They take their time to prepare their food for their guests with pride and consideration. The owner of this establishment is the same owner who runs La Hacienda Tacos & Tequila. Every morning they freshly hand press and prepare their own tortilla they also roast their salsa and make their own guacamole which is delicious. They are well known for their slow cooked birria taco, their ceviche , Al Pastor, large bar and the best hospitality, table service around. I've never felt more comfortable dining out than I have here and even taking out has been a pleasure and never a regret with anything I've ordered it's the best Mexican restaurant and food around and don't forget the music and art work when walking in Frida's you will enjoy it every time!

Positives: Attentive server, even though she couldn't answer questions regarding the food…read more Clean and nice decor, although this doesn't look like a Mexican restaurant on the inside at all. Free chips and salsa I ordered the combination meal. One burrito, 1 enchilada. With a side of fried rice and refried beans. The negatives. When my meal arrived, there was no visible difference between the burrito and the enchilada. The presentation was lacking. No shredded garnish like a commonly see with combination platters. Everything was basically the same color. I got both the enchilada and the burrito with ground beef, even the inside was exactly the same, both tasted extremely bland and reminded me of a frozen microwave meal. I had to add a lot of hot sauce, which I normally don't like, to give the meal some flavor. The refried beans were liquidy and an odd color. At first, I thought it was queso. Not appetizing and they had no taste. The fried rice also was completely lacking in flavor. Overall, incredibly disappointed in this restaurant, especially after its long anticipated opening. I will agree with previous reviews. It is loud inside, and there is a strong smell in the place. I would describe the smell like a perfume type air freshener smell (reminded me of a hotel lobby smell IYKYK). It wasn't offensive to me, but if you are sensitive to smells at all, I could see how this would be an issue.

After a much needed haircut from my barber, Ramon, (highly recommend Trinity Barber Shop), my wife…read moreand I headed out to Mi Tierra for a late lunch. Ever since we returned from a trip to Peru and Ecuador to explore Machu Picchu and The Galapagos, we take every opportunity to sample Peruvian cuisine. When I saw Mi Tierra in one of those Facebook ads (I guess they work), we made plans to try it out. Located off highway 484 by the busy intersection with I-75, traffic always seems to be crazy here with never ending construction. When we entered, we were seated in a booth and didn't realize they offered lunch specials (until 3 PM M-F) until we opened the menus. My wife and I ordered off the lunch special menu. She had the Arroz Chaufa ($11.99) and I ordered the Lomo Saltado ($13.99). We were also served chips and salsa while waiting for our meals. We both just had water. The tortillas chips were served warm. They were airy and crispy. The salsa was good but wished there was more of it...a bit chintzy on the salsa. My wife's arroz chaufa was quite good with savory soy sauce flavor and slight smokiness to it. My Lomo saltado was decent. The cut of meat was not the best and it lacked that distinctive smoky flavor we've gotten used to from meals we ate while in Peru. I've had better...but for $13.99, it's pretty good. Good flavors and good value. Service was OK with our lone server doing multiple tasks from bartending, taking orders, and cleaning tables...and watching the World Cup. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $33 with tip.

Went for an early lunch midweek, restaurant was empty as they had just opened. However, my table…read morehad sticky residue on it which makes me wondered how clean the kitchen was. My server, Nelson, was very personable and answered my numerous questions as this was my first visit to location. Ordered Tallarines Verde Pollo (chicken with pesto pasta and potatoes) and only had a brief wait for it to arrive. Was disappointed in appearance of chicken, flattened to almost nothing. Taste had a strong soy sauce essence and it was very tough to chew. Pasta was ok, but the golden potatoes were my favorite. Personally I could have done without the sauce (cold by the way, I expected hot), as it was too thick and I found scraping most of it off the potatoes made it better. While it's probably not the restaurant's fault, the roadway in to the strip mall for the restaurant is in terrible condition between the official and unofficial speed bumps (lots of potholes) which made me question whether I wanted to try them or not. And the extremely close proximity to I-75 and loads of traffic made me wonder why anyone would want to sit outdoors at the few tables they offer there. It will be awhile before I try them again (probably in a few years so I'll have forgotten all about them), it wasn't that great.
