8. Pepe's Mexican Store Meat Market and Restaurant

I lived for many years on the border of Mexico,so I am picky about Mexican food. This restaurant is quaint located in the back of a wonderful grocery store. They have excellent tamales and they are quite reasonable. The store sells a dessert that has become my NEW all time favorite .... Flan de queso. Flan is a custard with vanilla flavor on a Carmel base. Flan de queso is a flan cheesecake. Or almost. The flavor and texture are amazing. The store and restaurant have all kinds of exotic goodies . It's clean and bright with really friendly people. If you like locally owned places as opposed to chains, you will love this place!

Love the taste of authentic Mexican. Being from Texas, I am picky. We had a burritos, two tacos and a tostado and everything was delicious. Served with rice and beans on the side. Tacos are made with great meat, onions, cilantro and homemade tortillas. The burrito loaded was huge and it was tasty. Not fancy digs but I will go back. So good!

Went there while spending the night in Ocala. Wow what a super fun place. We were greeted right away and wait staff came right away. Started out with a mojito which was very fresh and good. Had the carne asada with refried beans and rice. So fresh and delicious. Salsa was great as well. Really enjoyed our dinner. So many choices.

Stopped for the evening while traveling. This place was recommended by out hotel. Margs we outstanding and the chicken and shrimp fajitas were really really good. We also had cheese nachos, but they were kinda soggy. With the exception of the nachos, we would return just for the fajitas. Great Staff

We were just passing through (actually, stopped right around the corner to charge up our electric car), and decided to grab a bite for lunch, What a treat! The place was super busy, but service was brisk and attentive. The food was prepared to perfection and portion sizes were huge, especially considering the value of their lunch specials. This place is highly recommended!

Traveling home after a trip to Animal Kingdom and stopped at Mi Tiera for lunch. The food is terrific My husband ordered the Mexican steak and raved about his meal. Tender and juicy with lots of grilled veggies. The veggie fajitas were delicious with a ton of perfectly cooked veggies including cauliflower. Another dish we ordered was the spicy shrimp with great seasoning. For dessert we ordered fried ice cream and the best flan I've ever eaten. My family are not fans of flan and they loved it too. Great, attentive wait stafftoo. Be sure to stop in lunch or dinner. This restaurant is a hidden gem.
2. La Hacienda Restaurant

Just an average place and not worth a return visit. After reading the reviews we were expecting far more. Started out with bland salsa, no flavor, no heat at all, and chips that were way too thick. The sweet tea was sickeningly sweet. I had a steak burrito and my husband had a combo plate which were fine, but nothing to write home about. No margaritas, which I enjoy with Mexican food.

I only ordered takeout but everything was prepared to perfection and was so delicious. I plan to dine in one day soon for one of their weekly specials and to relax with a margarita and get the full experience. Bunny, we are so glad you enjoyed the take out and we look forward to seeing you soon to dine in.
