So far, EVERYTHING on the menu sounds delicious and the quandary I found myself in was that I was so pulled in a million directions on what I wanted to order...I just couldn't decide! We started with Carolina Tater Skins. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Potato skins with Roast Pork, cheese, bacon, green onions, topped with bbq sauce...cup of sour cream in the middle. Didn't last over 3 minutes for the two of us and there were 6 of them! They were THAT delicious. I ordered the Birria Tacos (3) with a side salad and my husband got the Cuban Clucker sandwich with a side of crinkle fries. We spoke to our waitress about how we had wanted to try their food for awhile now but just so happened to find ourselves about 1.3 miles from this location tonight and made the decision to try them tonight! She said they were best known for their wings and just how to get them. So we also ordered 10 wings done just that way. Our meals were brought not too long after we demolished our fabulous appetizer. Wow! Absolutely crazy good! I pounded the three Birria Tacos in record time, in between also demolishing my side salad. My husband said his fries were perfect and he's STILL working on that huge sandwich as I write this! Lol The chicken wings, while they looked delicious, once I tried one, there was a strange fishy taste that came across so strong on the wings that didn't have the sweet and spicy sauce on them, that I couldn't eat them. It actually made me gag. I just couldn't eat them. The waitress asked us how we liked them, so I explained what was wrong with them. She offered to have them remade but we declined. She told the manager to come speak to us about them. He was nice enough, but looked intimidated by us (a 61 and 62 yr old?) and kinda looked anywhere but at me when I was explaining what the problem was with the wings. He was said he'd investigate. Our waitress came back and asked if he spoke with us. I said he did. She asked what he said and I said he told us he'd investigate the problem. She asked us if he said he's take the wings off our bill and I said no. She said she'd take them off anyways because it was a whole 10 wings we didn't eat. I said, thanks but I'm not trying to get free food especially if she gets in trouble for doing that. She said but you didn't even eat them! I said she couldn't have paid ME to eat them! The taste was so gross I actually used a napkin to wipe the taste off my tongue! She laughed. We went ahead and ordered dessert to make up for the wings we sent back and then didn't want after all. The bourbon peach bread pudding turned out to be sold out, so we settled on beignet bites for him and Pecan Pie for myself. Both were EXCELLENT! WE will definitely be back to see our fantastic waitress Anna and to try more of their menu because they have some of the most delicious sounding entrees! All in all, we were impressed by the fantastic food (minus the fishy wings), but everything was fresh, delicious and very decently priced! Great place to bring the family because there's something for everyone here. Chicken tenders to burgers and all kinds of sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta...diversity without being outrageous. Great combos! Can't wait to try something else next visit! You know it was a great meal when your husband turns to you as you're walking to the car together and he says "thank you babe. That was really good!". 'Nuff said? read more

My wife and I stopped by Mojo prior to watching "Young Washington" in Epic Theaters on a Friday afternoon. It was a late lunch so the place wasn't full...although the bar area looked busy. When we walked in, there was no host to greet/seat us. Waited a couple of minutes then I walked towards the kitchen to get someone's attention. A minute or so later what looked like the manager came over to seat us in a booth. After checking out the menu and mindful to avoid ordering fried items based on reviews that they're overly greasy, my wife ordered the The Ricky ($13.50 + $1.00 up charge - Cuban roast pork on Cuban bread) with sweet potato waffle fries and I ordered The Pepin ($16 - Cuban roast pork served with red beans and rice and fried sweet plantains). We just had water with our meals. My wife thought the bread was fresh but thought the roast pork was just OK. The sandwich paired well with the honey mustard but not so much with the mojo au jus. My dish started out good, with my first taste of the roast pork being good and flavorful then just went meh after that. The sweet plantains are always good for me. Ambience was cool and upbeat. Portions were generous and it had decent value...but we thought the flavors of the roast pork were muted and fell well short of the pernil flavor we've come accustomed to. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to just over $39. read more

Hwy E 40 Mojo's managers Travis & Ed create a highly inhospitable atmosphere! Yelling at customers, denying them alterations to their chosen meals like I have NEVER seen since Mojos opened! Attitudes like this loose customers! read more

I am so conflicted but I'm going to give it 3 stars. The vibes were all there! The decor, the staff and the atmosphere. What made me give it 3 stars? The over fried food :( The staff was very friendly and hospitable. The hostess nearly had a heart attack when we told her 15 people but Mr. Michael was more than accommodating and our waitress Destiny crashed out before we were seated but she was on it, friendly and attentive! She always made sure we were looked at and answered our questions. Alright the food ..... While for the most part it was DELICIOUS, there was some that someone back there loves to over fry the food. All of our sweet potatoes fries were burnt and had the taste of just used oil, it had no meat. The one that made us upset was the beef empanada, it came out doo doo brown and it was not appetizing. The texture was horrendous, no airy crisps to the bread and taste horrible! Even when putting the salsa and sour cream, the freezer burn and over fried cooking oil taste over powered everything. Destiny said that they didn't have empanadas ready and weren't expecting to serve a great amount... Whoever is in the kitchen then should prep and be mindful that a kitchen is a live operation... Gordan Ramsey would never. It was horrific and my friend still paid because she didn't want to complain, we ordered 8 plates of those and 4 were left over. Basically, your food could be over fried, inconsistent, served with no passion and over powered with raw oil. read more

My boyfriend and I needed to stop to charge my Tesla and found the supercharger by target and Wawa. While charging not that far away was Mojos and since it was 11:30ish we decided to get lunch. Immediately we were seated in a large booth and the host brought us 2 chicken wings to try for a contest they enter. The wings were delicious it had a spicy peach sauce and you could taste the peach and heat. I ordered the salad with chicken marinated in Mojos sauce and OMG I don't eat chicken a lot but it was delicious so soft and tender it melted in your mouth the spices gave it a nice not spicy flavor. I also ordered the cheese grits, my boyfriend got a hamburger and fried and seemed to enjoy it. I wish we lived closer but will definitely looking forward to stopping here on a road trip. read more

Mojo's was such a vibe. I loved everything about the layout of the place. The atmosphere was obviously very rock and roll but it wasn't overwhelming, it was perfect. The menu made choosing what to eat so difficult because EVERYTHING looked tasty. I went with the Pepin and was so satisfied with my choice. Loved the carnitas and the sweet plantains. I've never been a huge fan of Cuban rice but my sons were and they devoured it with the beans. Our server was great and understanding of our two tired toddlers. I will absolutely be back to try some of the delicious drink offerings! read more

I found Mojo Grill after doing a google search. I didn't know what to expect but the picture looked good. My server was friendly from the time I walked in. I ordered the blackened red fish with veggies and black beans/rice. My food came out quickly and was steaming hot. Everything was seasoned well but I did request hot sauce to add a little kick. The portion size is good, especially for the price. The hotel I stay at when I'm in the area is less than 10 minutes from Mojo's so I will be back. read more

Had a great dinner experience with 3 friends thanks to our awesome server, Richard D. He was attentive, polite, funny and very helpful in sharing various dish components, as well as local information about special events in the area. He obviously takes a lot of pride in his position and seems to be especially proud of the restaurants food and service. read more

This was our first visit to Mojo's, and everything was absolutely fantastic. We had the chicken wings and a burger, and both were delicious. Our waiter was truly amazing...especially after I mentioned it was our first time there. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us and for helping us choose the sauces for our wings. You were incredibly friendly and made our experience even better. Thank you, Imani... we appreciate you. read more

Excellent food and mostly good service. It took a few minutes longer than I would have expected after we were seated, but after that our waitress was very attentive. I ordered the potato skins with brisket as my meal. I was a little disappointed because they were small and fat, as opposed to thin with crisper edges. Also there was not enough bbq sauce, and they do charge for additional sauces. I tried my wife's "hot mess " waffle fries with the same toppings as mine and they were delightful, so my bad for ordering the wrong thing. The rest of my party were locals who'd been there before and they ordered what the knew and really enjoyed their meals. When I get back to Ocala I'll definitely give it another try. read more

The food is delicious! I've been pleased with everything I've had there. One of the coolest atmospheres I've ever seen in a restaurant! A little pricey. The quesadilla was $17.

Stopped in for dinner while passing through town. Cool atmosphere with a laid back vibe. I had the chips and queso and the mahi tacos. The chips tasted a little stale, but the tacos were good. The fries were not great. The servers were friendly, but I never received a refill on my drink. Interesting place, but I doubt I will ever go back. read more

Great atmosphere and amazing service from Kaitlyn Short... she was very attentive and very sweet! She's a keeper!

Worst dining experience I've ever had. I will never go back to this franchise again. Lousy server, worse food, terrible overall!

It's my first time there, I went with my husband, because we wanted to eat something different. The place is very nice and spacious. It is not a noisy place, very good to go with the family. It also has an area for groups. The waitress was very kind. Regarding the food, it arrived on time and hot. I had never tasted such delicious fish tacos, the flavors exploded in my mouth, although a bit spicy, but nothing I couldn't stand. The rice and beans were something else, the flavor was something from another world of how tasty they are. Everything was so delicious that I didn't eat the dish, because it was inedible. As for my husband, he found his food to be tasty, although the pork had some tough pieces. I would like to go back and eat those delicious fish tacos again. read more

First, this is a great place for a large group of people as far as space. The down side of that is that there didn't seem to be enough servers for our party of 19. Loved the food and drink selection. The decor was homey and fun. The server that did help us was doing the best she could, but the food didn't come out for a while. The dishes that did make it weren't very hot, including the beans and soups. I had a wrap, and it was enough for two meals. Some people got huge bowls of beans & rice , while others had more rice than beans. It wasn't consistent. We had a good time as a group, though, and the noise level was perfect for crowds. read more

We have been here a couple times, every time it's something different with the food but nothing major. The service by "Jess" was okay. I don't ever send food back because I feel bad but this time I had no choice, I ordered the boneless wings tossed in mild. When I received them they were plain with a pool of oil at the bottom, Jess continue to explain that that's how they do it? If I wanted a side of mild..which I was charged for lol when that wasn't even mild sauce in the bottom of the basket.. but ok. It was a very disappointing experience, the fried pickles were also very salty. Mojo please do better!!!! read more

We took out of town family here for lunch on Sunday; the location near Target in Ocala. I have always ordered heirlooms Cajun seasoned waffle fries with my wings. I was served a very bland basket of small pieces of waffle fries with no seasoning. They were tasteless and terrible! I asked my server and was told what I got were seasoned; but they were not. A few sprigs of parsley is not Cajun seasoning. They have also lessened their menu selections! My mango habanero wings were very .good; but Mojo's has lost a customer - their fries used to be awesome! Would have to give them a very marginal thumbs up read more

What a fun place to grab a bite! Our family stopped in for dinner on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find out Tuesday is $5 kids meals day Service was great and the decor plus throwback music videos playing on the TVs kept the kids entertained!

My wife and I became nauseous after eating here. Plus her drink, a margarita, tasted funny and had way too much alcohol that wasn't even blended into the drink. We both disliked it. Secondly, my wife ordered a main salad that came with grilled chicken pieces and instead was served with a salad that had way too much processed cheese (the kind that you would buy in a bag from a food store) and it didn't taste very good as the cheese was dominating the salad. I ordered the chicken Baja bowl which was not very good compared to Chipotle, Cava, and Moe's. I could not finish it due to the horrible taste. The floor was filthy around our table. We spoke to the manager who was gracious enough to take our dinners off the credit card bill. We had a fair empanada duo, but it wasn't that great. My Diet Coke was fine. I debated giving two stars, but decided one was more appropriate. read more

Not impressed. Staff .... Skeptical.. got my appetizer before my drink? Queso. Quite tasty . Bitrria tacos not so much and two beers for $16. Now I know why I stay home. Honestly that with my waitress only touching the table when asked I don't know. Not good experience read more

Mojo Grill & Catering - Birria Birria Beef Tacos Chips and Salsa - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The quick and dirty: overall I would probably eat here again. Service was quick, servers were very nice and attentive, drinks were good and atmosphere was fun. I would avoid anything fried as all of the fried items we got were very greasy. The non-fried items were pretty good. Food: As mentioned above, the waffle fries and fried pickles were quite greasy. Fries were a little undercooked too. However, if it was not so greasy and cooked completely, the breading on the pickles and seasoning on both the pickles and fries were on point and had potential to be very good. The baja bowl had good flavor but chicken was a little dry and the food didn't taste fresh or even all that warm. The memphis pork sandwich was tasty but very filling. The kids mac and cheese was delicious and creamy. The southern fried chicken sandwich didn't stand a chance. It was so good. The quesadilla was a quesadilla. Was a little dry and also didn't seem very fresh. My daughter didn't like it, said it was too spicy and tasted off. Drinks: The big nose IPA was good (if you like IPAs) and the margarita was also tasty but wasn't very strong. Service: quick, efficient, attentive and friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Atmosphere: very well decorated, clean and fun. read more

A quiet(?) night out without the kids and we found ourselves at Mojos (near 200) for a date night of sorts. Gypsy Juice and Iced Tea got us started along with an order of Hot Mess - cajun fries, pulled pork, bacon and queso. My wife got the Mojito pulled pork tacos (2) with roasted veggies and I got the jambalaya with blackened shrimp. Excellent flavors for both. I expected the jambalaya to be a little more "wet", but it was very tasty. It doesn't happen often, but I actually needed a box to take mine home. The Mojito tacos were excellent with the dressing on them, but otherwise a little bland. The Gypsy Juice was a lovely, light tasting watermelon cocktail. All in all, a lovely meal. read more

Great food. Delicious. Hot food-- different menu items. Not the usual boring options. But their "beignets" are NOT beignets. They come topped with whipped cream and cherries! WTH?!! I lived in the French Quarter for years and ate hundreds of them. Their version was pretty, tasty, and $8, but they are nothing like the ones I got at Cafe Du Monde all of those years. Everything else was amazing though. Very fun atmosphere, especially if you are a fan of music from the era of Elvis. Great service too. Will return. I had the Bourbon Chicken Bowl. read more

Our second visit- same as the first. Delicious! We had a repeat of the Birria tacos with black beans and rice. This time we also had the roasted Cuban pork fajitas. I have another favorite! The pork had such good char- crispy outside and so tender on the inside. As an app we had chips and salsa. The chips appear and tasted freshly made. The salsa definitely is homemade. Queso was also good- just not enough if it for the price. My recommendations: everything we've had so far: Birria tacos, Roasted Cuban fajitas and the roasted pork platter. Can't wait to bring family and friends. read more
