    Dry, cold rice, any 2 kinds of beans.
    Theresa B.

    The food was not good. Rice was was hard and cold. Cheese dip came with meal instead of before as an appetizer should, plus it was also barely Luke warm. Chips are served cold and we prefer warm. My green sauce was brown, which may be correct, but I have never had it served at any other Mexican restaurant that way. And we watched our food just sit in the service window. Had to get up and ask for it!!!! Positive was they did give you lots of food. My friend said the beans tasted good. (I hate beans so I didn't try them) and the gave you 2 kinds of beans. And they offer a discount if you pay cash.... Which brings us to a HUGE issue. They do not have change. So they short you when cashing you out and had no small bills to give so a tip could be left! We will definitely not be back; wasn't worth giving a second try. Was very disappointed as I read good reviews. Oh yeah, salsa wasn't that flavorful. Cute interior inside.

    Ever just seen the sign for a restaurant and without even trying it you instinctually know it'll be…read morefantastic? Welcome to Albelo's Sub Shop. I've had this place bookmarked to try for months and finally had it today. It did not disappoint! Shoestring fries with just the right amount of seasoning/perfect crispy freshness and a large pressed cubano was my lunch. The ladies running the show were friendly and helpful. When I say this Cuban was Stupid Good, this is what I mean: have you ever eaten something so good you involuntarily make noises that sound like awesome bedroom stuff is happening? Yeah?! Embarrassing. Who cares though cus it's so damn good! 10 out of 10. I'm coming back sooner than I should. Don't skip this place. The ONLY thing I'd recommend that could possibly make this place better? Seed oil free mayo/cooking oil, etc and beef tallow fries! I'd pay extra for same items if Albelo decides to go full on MAHA here. Just my 2 cents!

Neither of us were in the mood for a bunch of bread, so I know that a sandwich spot seems like an odd choice, but Albelo's had us covered. Many of their sandwiches can be served as a "protein bowl" so we opted to do that with their Philly Steak. You cannot do that with all of their sandwiches, which we learned after a slightly awkward back and forth between us, the cashier, and the chef. But we landed on something that was satisfactory and both the chef and the cashier expressed care that my son and I were happy with our choice. The place is a little small and indoor seating is limited, so keep that on your radar. But the food was fantastic and both my son and I resolved that we need to go back and try other options on the menu.

    I took my wife here for our 1st experience here, ( late Valentines dinner) Sunday February 15,…read more2026. The ambiance was wonderful, not too dark, not too bright! Chatter noise was low enough Iwe could reasonably talk together! She started with a french onion soup, steamy and thick, obviously homemade!! I had a lobster bisque with baquettes. She then chose the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes & green beans. I had the braised short ribs Mirepoix, garlic mash potatoes & csteamed carrots with short rib reduction! We topped the night off with a delightful PRINCESS DIANA'S Taste of Ocala award winning Bruleed Bread Pudding w/ fresh berries & Amaretto , Almonds!! Btw, the Chicken fried steak is offered every Sunday. Our server, Joanne, was excellent and very knowledgeable!! The only downside was about 3 items unavailable due to heavy traffic on Valentine's Day on Saturday. The tables were candlelit, clean, and seating was comfortable. I wont mention our coke & tea, we just dont imbibe in alcoholic drinks. But it appeared they had a wide assortment of choices!! I recommend THE BRAISED ONION!!

We got sat right away and greeted by our server. Our server was nice and helpful with the menu. We ordered fish n chips, Hawaiian salad, pow pow chicken, and chicken picatta. The salad came out with fresh ingredients and the dressing was delicious. The rest of the food was not good. The pow pow chicken was mostly breading and no chicken. The few small pieces of chicken we did have were way over cooked. The fish and chips had the same problem - mostly breading and no fish. Also, they don't have tartar sauce. I've never been to a place that sells fish n chips that doesn't have tartar sauce. The dining area is an open concept. There were some plants spread around the place is clean. Over all, the server was nice but the food wasn't very good. I wouldn't recommend eating there. We will try someplace else next time we are in town.

    To-go ramen almost never tastes as good as a bowl eaten fresh in a restaurant. But it was late and…read moreit was near closing, and I decided to take it to the hotel. However, this ramen was just as good, and I ate it right away. This was one of the best-tasting broths; I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu. The black garlic oil was smoky, rich, smooth, and lingering. It doesn't have that "garlic breath" bite, but it stays with you. The "umami bomb" profile sets it apart from standard varieties that only an authentic ramen place can do well. It was incredible! The noodles were bouncy and chewy, and the chashu was delicate and melt-in-your-mouth. I appreciated the separated noodles from the broth to preserve its texture. This place is a gem, and I wish there were places like this at home. The restaurant was clean, service was quick and friendly, and there was plenty of parking.

    I keep coming back to Zuru because they consistently deliver amazing flavor at unbeatable prices…read more The Black Garlic Tonkotsu is my go-to very rich, savory, and deeply satisfying with that perfect umami kick. It's easily one of the best bowls in town! And every time I'm there, I have to get the Mango Sago for drink. Light, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweetness. it's the perfect way to end the meal. I crave it between visits! Great food, great value, and always a comforting experience. Definitely one of my favorite ramen spots in the area.
