The place is small and intimate. I was told on Saturdays they have a live band. We stopped in because it's one of the few places that is open late. We ordered the Chips qith Guacamole, Avocado taco, Malibu taco and the Brisket. Each on the corn tortilla. The Guacamole is extremely fresh. The Avocado and Malibu taco were excellent. Personally i enjoyed them with the dressing on the side. We ordered several. Nice spot with Great food. read more

This place has become my favorite stop every time I travel to Ocala. Wish my hometown had a place like this. They make homemade corn tortillas that taste amazing (and gluten free) and every taco is a piece of art! I love their creative taco options. Full bar in the back. Beautiful place to sit outside on a gorgeous patio or inside options available for those colder nights. We love this place! Can't wait to go back. An Ocala-must experience. read more

they. hanged owner and the food has gone down hill dropped some of the food off the menu and a chicken burrito should have chicken not just rice beans was not good will not go back I used to love the food . read more

Great little find just off the square in downtown Ocala, FL. We went for Taco Tuesday. Three varieties of tacos for $2 each. We feasted on the buffalo chicken and the carnitas, both were flavorful. Next time I might try the flour tortillas as the corn ones tended to fall apart easily. Good service and tasty chips and cheese dip which was separate. I would like to see chips served with a meal. We'll still come back. read more

What a quaint little spot in downtown Ocala! We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday with our dog and we're happy to find that the outdoor seating is very dog-friendly (they have water dishes and even a doggie meal on the menu). Now on to the review of the human food: we ordered the nachos which was a huge portion, more than plenty to share among 4 people of more. A couple of us are vegetarians so it was nice to see plenty of options for us too. We also ordered the avocado tacos which were delicious - recommend ordering at least 2 tacos. The street corn was also tasty if you like cojita cheese texture and taste (not for everyone, so maybe get a sample if you're not sure). Every single person on the staff was so pleasant and genuinely friendly! We will DEFINITELY be back next time we are in the area! read more

The tacos and margaritas were wonderful. They have great weekly specials, overall a nice place to eat and hang out.

This is my girlfriends favorite Mexican place to eat because they have vegan options...I liked them ok and normally they are pretty good...I found their Birria tacos and they were awesome! So when my birthday came up she asked me where I wanted to go for dinner...I opted for Sayulitas because I was craving their Birria tacos and she loved it too...so...we get there and apparently they don't have any corn tortillas...what? Half the menu is made with corn tortillas...apparently only 1 person there knows how to make the tortillas...he must have been sick today I guess...so not wanting to make a big deal of it I decided to go with the Korean steak quesadillas....(flour tortillas) no where on the menu does it say they are spicy...I got about half of a wedge down before it was too much...my mouth was burning...maybe they should halve more than 1 person that can make tortillas....that's a pretty big deal you would think...I'm sure I'll be back for my girlfriends favorite tacos...but I was really wanting the Birria tacos...I would have went somewhere else had I know that any menu item the was made with corn tortillas was off the menu...my birthday dinner was a bust...I stopped at taco bell on my way home... read more

This was a total lucky find on a Monday afternoon as we were driving south to St Petersburg, FLA. Love the funky vibe and the outdoor picnic tables in the shade. But the food is amazing. Super fresh ingredients, creative combinations and several veggie options. I had the veggie burrito with zucchini and fried avocado. So good. The meats are perfect as well. We also had the chicken and chorizo burrito. Both, honestly, among the best burritos either of us had ever had. But the even better part--the homemade chips and guacamole. Just perfect. We missed it, but they have live music in the eve. And the inside bar is fun. Definitely coming back. read more

The food here is amazing!! They have a California feel and the variations are amazing!! So I tried the shrimp taco and the carnitas. The different ingredients were so tasty together. Danielle was a great server and she even recommended dessert and we wound up getting two!! Next time I will be trying a couple different options. But look at the colors on the tacos!! read more

Tacos? Yes, please. So grateful to the others who reviewed Sayulita Taqueria. We were passing through town when we got a craving for tacos. We ordered 3 different tacos and loved them all. Chips and salsa were fresh and homemade. Outside is adorable. Beers are cold. Staff is attentive and friendly. We would definitely come back. read more

I drive 4 hours and bring all my friend from Around the world to this place, once in a lifetime food experience, ask for Ronda, she seal the deal with the most impressive service i've seen in the restaurant business read more

We are visiting from out of town and tried this place for dinner last night. It's a really cool spot and the employees are very friendly (my only issue was that a few of them felt the need to touch my toddler in the middle of a pandemic but it's not that huge Of a deal). The food was amazing. I ordered the shrimp, carnitas and brisket tacos and they were very very good. The brisket tacos were by far the best and I'm sad that this place isn't closer to where I live so I could go more often. My husband ordered the nachos and they are HUGE. They're only $7.50 but they pile them high on both sides of a takeout box. I thought they could have used some additional seasoning but my husband loved them. If we lived in Ocala we would for sure go back. read more

Love this place. Food was yummy. Found via Yelp and they did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and helpful, food awesome and filling. They have seating inside and out; and the weather was perfect so we sat outside. Glad we got to experience this place and will definitely recommend to others and return. read more

Wow! Great flavor! I know a lot of these reviews talk about how you don't get what you pay for because the tacos are too small. But they're worth it! The flavor is amazing!! My husband just said oh man, wow! Out loud. He got the Korean beef quesadilla and I tasted it and holy Macarena, it was so full of flavor it was like a flavor party in my mouth! I got three tacos: Al Pastor, Buffalo, and Carnitas. By far the BEST was the Carnitas. It was so good part of that was what I traded with my hubby to get some of his quesadilla. The mix of the pork with the pickled cabbage, carnitas sauce, and crispy onions was just perfect to make a taco of superior quality. My other two were good and fresh, but not as fantastic as the carnitas. We will definitely be returning here when we are in Ocala. Thank you Brittney for taking care of us! This place is quality over quantity and well worth a visit. read more

Too much american influence and the menu as well as ingredients are all over the place. Waitress didnt even know the menu....food is not even street food quality....avoid avoid avoid. read more

Yes! Another new restaurant to elevate the Ocala food scene! DE-LISH!!! Ordered 3 tacos for myself: Mahi, Avocado and Veggie...all cooked and presented to perfection! My tummy did the happy dance and my mouth oooed and ahhhed over the fresh mix of flavors and textures. The strawberry basil margarita was icing on the cake. Love the huge outdoor patio with picnic tables, fans with misters, shade sails, cafe lights and games. Service was quick and friendly too. read more

We were passing through Ocala on our way to Tampa and found this place when searching for a place to stop and eat. It was very disappointing! We had the fish catch taco, Korean taco and pastor taco. All three were not good at all and they didn't look at all like the photos on Yelp. Not sure what happened in the kitchen today but we will not be coming back. They are way over priced for what you get. Only good thing were the plantains. Oh and the cashier didn't even greet us when we walked in and was not friendly at all. read more

This place is literally the bomb.com. The tacos were amazing, the Al Pastor, Avocado, and Carnitas! I took my mom here for Christmas eve and it was totally worth it! read more

Stopped in to get my wife some taco's that she's been waiting forever to have and I wound up paying 24 dollars for tacos that tasted like garbage because the cook put a strange sauce on them and didn't use actual pork and also didn't cook the corn tortillas. Worst tacos ever..my wife hates Taco Bell but she said she would rather have had that then the tacos from this place. Smh read more

Love love love this place! Great environment, food, & service! If you are looking for a fun twist on the traditional taco, be sure to give this place & their 12 delicious varieties of tacos a try (highly recommend it on the corn tortilla & the Cowboy taco).

Great tacos. Staff was a little slow in coming up front to take orders upon arrival so it may not be a fit for those on a limited lunch break but were incredibly friendly. Going back for the frozen margaritas next time. read more

I had the avocado taco and the Malibu taco. Both were very tasty! The guacamole was fresh and they gave you plenty of chips. It's a cool place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We were there for happy hour and had 2 for 1 local beers. I am only sad I don't live closer but I will be back. read more

I really liked the taco choices and wish I was local, but was just passing through. I would have liked the chance to try more types of tacos. Had the carne asada ones, then the crunchy avocado because I could not figure out what it would be like. Avocado slices fried in panko....quite tasty. Enjoyed the crema. Overall, it was great. read more

Hit or miss...old faithful Buffalo taco tasted like flour from the batter, plantains burnt. Guess this is why the place is dead on a Friday night. Waitress Moly was great! read more

It kind of reminded us of torchys tacos back home in Texas. Service kinda sucked, and food was okay. Had a different twist on some of their tacos. Wouldn't go out of my way , but if I'm close then yeah maybe. It was a so so kind of lunch. read more

This will not be a return, the Mahi taco was horrible to much of pickeled cabbage, the roasted veggies were more roasted than veggies, the black beans we're so Bland that they just open a can and put it in a pot to heat it up there's no spice a little cumin and bay leaves goes a long way there, give some flavors!!! Do they have anyone that knows how to make good Spanish food ....... Authentic no thanks if you want a snack that is bland sure but other than that they have a drink menu that is one half the menu, if your sauced you dont care what you eat, but me personally I like flavor, that there was none, sorry will not be back. My rating is a negative! read more

Good food with decent outdoor seating in an enclosed courtyard. Menu is a little hard to navigate quickly when trying to order.

Very cute place with pretty good food! Brisket taco is my favorite, found it odd that the chicken pastor taco was not a traditional version of pastor seasoning though. Drinks are good but seem slightly light on alcohol compared to other Mexican places in the area. Definitely a cool ambience and outdoor dining experience. read more

Wow. Run don't walk here. What other things need to be said about a great spot. Great food. Great service, Parry was superb. Everything was well prepared. And the Churros were perfect conclusion to meal. Very moderate price. Definitely plan on coming back. read more

Love this! Delicious food, very unique taco choices. Sweet staff. We needed something like this in Ocala! Can't wait to go back.

Good food, AWFUL service. Our waitress messed up our order 3 times. Asked for chicken nachos gave us steak nachos, messed up my taco order and gave me flour tortilla instead of corn. She stated that she was the only one serving at the restaurant but when everyone else enjoyed their food and left, our food still didn't come out. Oh so we ended up waiting an hour for a food to come. I tried having sympathy but when u fuck up an order more than twice I can't give you any. read more

ANAZING!! The menu has so much variety-we tried nearly every taco on the menu. The shredded chicken to die for, the fish tacos were incredible, the buffalo chicken so flavorful, even the vegetarian options were so tasty. The jalapeño margarita was so good and spicy? All of them were so delicious and you cannot bear the prices! Perfect little downtown location with indoor and outdoor seating. HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

I'm hard to please when it comes to Mexican food but I'm always willing to try new things. I was not disappointed the tacos were so unique and delicious oh, well done! The classic margarita was perfection. And our waitress was so great I can't wait to go back. read more

The food is always delicious. I'm a taco Tuesday kind of gal. Taco Tuesday is fabulous here, my favorite bartender (Rhonda) is always there and she makes fabulous drinks and is always involved with the customers. It's always a good time! Except last night, Rhonda wasn't there. Not sure why, but it wasn't the same without her. Service was a little slow, and not much interaction without Rhonda there. Might have to stay home for our next taco Tuesday if she isn't there. read more

It's my new date night obsession. All about those brisket tacos!! I noticed it seems fresher during the evening vs lunch, and the consistency of taste or salt is also different depending on who is making it. But neither are bad just different, hands-down an awesome adorable little place! read more

We sat out back and it was wonderful. The tacos are small, so order a few each. Everything was fresh and delicious!!! Zero negatives!

The queso and tacos were amazing, and the sopapillos we're delicious. Outdoor seating was cozy. If you're passing through Ocala, make a stop here. read more

They do have an inside area what's 4 smaller parties would be great. We sat outside area that is not completely covered they do have sun shades and fan misters. We ate there around 6:30 and it was nice outside and talk cuz we had 10 people. The service was excellent 3 * management came to our table want to make sure that everything's okay. And if you looking for authentic tacos and not soy meat pre processed food then this is the place for you. These food was phenomenal and prices were reasonable. I love tacos then I have tried the other places in town that supposedly have good tacos but nothing like SAYULITA TAQ OCALA.. will be my go-to place from now on for tacos. read more

Great tacos at a very fair price. Friendly staff. Nice casual atmosphere. Wish they offered some more traditional (non-gringo) choices like tongue, Etc. Overall very good. I will definitely be back....probably tomorrow. read more

This place is awesome!! The service can be a little slow, but the quality of the food and the great attitude from the staff more than makes up for it. Awesome outdoor seating, and fair prices. It feels like something you'd find in Tampa more than Ocala, which is awesome. Fantastic addition to the downtown scene! read more
