La Hacienda - Ocala

I'm so happy we discovered this restaurant and supermarket! It's the first truly authentic Mexican dining experience we've had since Jalisco closed over a year ago. The red chicken enchiladas were fantastic, the salsas were full of flavor, and the crispy totopos (chips) were freshly made from thick corn tortillas, just like they are served in Guadalajara. The grocery store offers an excellent variety of packaged herbs and spices, along with a wide selection of dried chiles. I'll definitely be coming here for salsa ingredients, freshly made tortillas, authentic Mexican cheeses, and taco supplies. My life in West Central Florida feels complete now!

I was just through and was so glad to have eaten here! The Fajitas special was great on Wednesday. It was the perfect size for my trip stop, and the price cannot be beaten! Good selection of Mexican beer, even though they had no pint glass to drink. The chips and salsa were on the spot! Beautiful fresh, thick chips and the taste of salsa is top notch!

As always, the food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Carne Asada. The chicken dishes were also fantastic. One of our friends ordered the Chimichanga, while another tried the Mini Hacienda. I love that we can walk through the restaurant in the Mercado, where they offer a variety of meats, vegetables, spices, and even gum. They also have sweet breads (pan dulces) and bolillos for sale. This place is a must-visit every time we're in Ocala!

Great food great prices and friendly staff. The food portions here are incredible and quality is excellent. We sat for lunch on the first day and dinner in the following night. It is easy to see why they are a local favorite!

We had a big group and enjoyed exceptional service along with fantastic food! The staff quickly took our order, and the meals were served promptly. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the portions were quite generous. The servers were attentive and cheerful. We will definitely be coming back!
