    Best Tacos Eva!!! :p
    Stacy L.

    I scream you scream TACOS... and I'm screaming Taco N Madre for life! Ha! Hands down, this restaurant is a must: · Restaurant is always clean (including restrooms) · Staff is friendly (always smiling) · Food is ready in less than 15minutes · Corn Tortillas are home-made: The BEST corn tortillas ever! Soft and chewy. · Red and Green sauces are home-made: Free, just ask. The green sauce is spicier and definitely my favorite. · Horchata is home-made: Go get some right now!! RUN! Everything served here is freshly made, like Mi Madre just cooked dinner and rang that dinner bell, better believe I'm grabbing a seat haha! :D I've had: · Steak Tacos: seasoned Steak, Cilantro, and onions, on a homemade corn tortilla. This taco is my Fav! The steak is lean (no fat), juicy, and seasoned, while the corn tortillas are soft and chewy, just be sure to add some green sauce, if you like it a little spicy... like me hehe · Chicken Tacos: diced Chicken, Cilantro, and onions, on a homemade corn tortilla. · Rice and Beans: Both are great, and not dry or tasteless like most places. · Horchata: Milky Spanish drink, typically made from rice flour, this one also has cinnamon. Okay I have never had Horchata before, and I doubt I will every have Horchata like this anywhere else. It's like drinking the best dessert you could ever dream of and it washes down that spicy Green Sauced taco like you're on vacation. They make it in house and it's a MUST! I would advise you go "Large"...Trust me! Not only is the food delish and fresh but the prices are amazing! · 3 tacos (any meat), rice and beans only $7.75! · Single taco (any meat) only $1.99! They have the absolute best tacos! They have several meat options: Steak, Pork, Mexican BBQ, Chicken, Beef Tongue, Beef Tips, Cabeza, and Carnitas. So get to picking, and enjoy that smile on your face when you take your first to last bite. :D Great for pick-up or dine-in, I've done both and I'll be back soon, hope to see ya there! :D

    Best food in Ocala hands down. Clean building, fresh food, kind staff. We love you taco n madre.

    Steak special dinner with corn tortillas.

    Delicious! I was driving through town looking for some Mexican food and found this place. I ordered the steak special dinner and it was fantastic!

    Lengua Tostada..."THICCstada".

    This joint is officially san-diego-girlfriend-approved! We ordered barbacoa, carne asada, and pastor tacos, and a combo platter with lengua and pastor tostadas. Meat portions were GENEROUS, and their flavor & tenderness were just as eye-opening. Their house salsa verde and smoky red salsa are also unique to the area. Prices were great and location is just across Pine Ave from Broadway in Ocala downtown.

    Yum. Yum. Yum. Ever since a friend introduced me to a "Sope" - I'm addicted and I will crave them. Whenever I go to a restaurant without them, I'm disappointed (went to a Taco joint in Atlanta last week without one Sope in sight). And this delicious little hole in the wall with a fabulous staff has the best Sopes that I've found. I'd you have kids, their quesadillas and tacos are a bit different to what they're probably used to (corn tortilla) but if they're open minded - no worries. Recommend the Sope de Carne, Mexican BBQ, and chicken. I can't say the others are bad because I've never had them.... it's hard to branch out when you're having a craving!

    Meal mostly eaten.  Deliciousness!

    See all

    This is decent Mexican food, but still no match for what I've had back in NY, in LA, Houston and other places.

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.

    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.

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.

    La Catrina - Taco de Carnitas "Amazing"

    La Catrina

    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.
