My husband and I were visiting our kids for a family event and wanted to take out our niece and…read morenephew for dinner while we were in town. This restaurant was recommended to us, so we decided to give it a try. Super delicious! Among all of us, we enjoyed the cheese dip, a chicken rice bowl, a shrimp quesadilla, a fajita quesadilla, and a torre de mariscos. We also had one margarita and one mojito. Across the board, everything was delicious! The torre was a massive serving and super interesting- basically a tower of ceviche. The only off thing was that it was a $3 upcharge for the mojito to have a flavor which seems high. Otherwise, pricing was good, and our waiter, Fernando, was great. We never felt rushed, and he took great care of us.

Looking for a place to eat on the way to Williston and this place seemed to pop out on the left…read morehand side of the road. Too be honest, it looked out of place in the middle of horse country, but upon entering, all it needed was for Jimmy Buffet to be playing and the smell of too much Coppertone to make it perfect! Outside patio seating was available, but there was inside seating and a long bar to make anyone feel at home. Separate rooms had pool tables and an internet jukebox played the tunes. We got there on a Saturday afternoon in October and the Gators were having their way with Vanderbilt on one of the many televisions in the room. We ordered an appetizer of the Tater tots with cheese sauce and this was a mistake! There were only two of us and this appetizer could have fed six! We looked over the menu, which is extensive. We settled on the French Dip and a Caprese Salad. There was nothing fancy about them, but they were good. We ended up taking the tots home though ... nothing that a good air fryer can't fix for tomorrow!

This is about as bad as it gets when it comes to food. The taco meat had almost no flavor, barely…read moreany meat, and was mostly lettuce. The steak on my mom's salad was undercooked and so chewy it was nearly impossible to cut. The fries were soggy and dripping with grease. It would be hard to make food this disappointing if you tried. The only thing this place seems good for is cheap drinks and getting hammered, if that's your thing. I would never recommend coming here for the food.

I had SUCH an amazing experience at Cantina Mexican in Ocala!! From the moment we walked in, the…read morevibe was fun, welcoming, and super clean. The staff was beyond friendly and made us feel taken care of the entire time. The food... WOW. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can tell they actually care about quality and presentation. The drinks were just as good!! perfectly made and strong enough to do their job Service was fast, attentive, and just genuinely kind, which is hard to find sometimes. You don't feel rushed, but you're never waiting on anything either. Honestly one of the best Mexican spots I've been to in the area. 10/10 recommend. I'll definitely be coming back!!

Again, we have lived here in Ocala for almost 4 years and it took over 2 years to visit here. We…read morehave been here 3 times in the first year, twice for just drinks and once for dinner. We stopped in spontaneously for drinks due to walking around for an event downtown. It is usually really crowded every time we pass by but decided to finally make an attempt and sit at the bar. Our first two times we sat at the bar inside and the third time we were finally able to sit at the bar outside. All three times we were served by the same bartender. We recently stopped in for a drink on our way home and also sat at the bar, dealing with the same bartender. There was only 1 time visited where she was pleasant, friendly, and attentive. Our most recent visit, we stopped in an hour prior to closing just for a drink at the bar. We were met with "we are doing last call" instead of hello. Even my husband noticed and commented on it, which is rare for him. We only ate here once and the food was pretty good. I was skeptical because many reviews were not positive but I think that was due to the speed of service. Hubs and I have been wanting to visit for one of nights that have specials, like Taco Tuesday but many reviews talk about not being able to take full advantage of the specials. There is a Wine Wednesday special as well. Maybe next time we go, we will sit at a table for a different experience.

Had their wings and fried shrimp combo with fries. Really good and plenty of sauces to pick from.read more

I like to support anything graffiti related but it seems like a really odd gimmick in relation to…read morethis business, just kind of shoehorned in. I spent about two weeks in Ocala last December and it didn't exactly seem like a graffiti hotbed. Or a seafood hotbed now that I think about it. The outside has murals that don't even look that graffiti influenced or that are very memorable. The inside has some graffiti pieces and boring stretches of white walls and just very basic decor. I had a crawfish boil as I love me some crawfish. It was a nice big portion but largely potatoes, sausage , corn and eggs. There was a pile of crawfish, too, but they were some of the smallest crawfish I'd ever seen and not at all flavorful. It didn't taste fresh and was pretty greasy. It was a bit of a struggle to finish the whole thing. It really stayed with me how greasy it was. I wish I knew the story behind this place. It's so weird.

My wife and I received a gift certificate for this place from our friend and realtor after we…read moreclosed on our house in Ocala, having moved here from Central Texas. Located in a strip mall anchored by a Roses Discount Store, the place looked dark from the outside and the "Open" sign didn't appear to be lit but we knew they were open because of various Open yard signs in front of the establishment. Upon walking in, we were seated right away and presented the menu. They have daily specials but they didn't have pernil, although they had lechon asado like most of the Cuban/Latin American restaurants we've tried in the area. I ordered the lechon asado which came with yellow rice, fried plantains and red beans. My wife tried their Midnite Cuban sandwich. The lechon asado was flavorful (but of course no crunchy skin) and the yellow rice was good as well. My wife's sandwich, however, was a disappointment! The roast pork had an off taste and was gristly...she had to remove that meat from her sandwich. I tried her roast pork and was thinking of sending it back but my wife just removed all the meat from her sandwich. Perhaps we'll be back but definitely not ordering the Cuban sandwich again. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $30 with tip.
