La Hacienda And Supermarket - Ocala

Had an excellent meal with wonderful service. We were at 1:00 and service was fast. The chips are served with 3 sauces: regular salsa, salsa verde and the winner, a roasted jalapeño with garlic and onions. Had a little kick that woke up the taste buds. We ordered from the lunch menu and the portions were exactly the right size. Browse the adjacent shop and found a wide selection of packed food, baked goods and fruits and vegetables.

You have everything essential for Mexican cuisine. I'm from Southern California and this store is comparable to those on the border. I was able to buy the rosca de reyes back in jan and my pan de muerto for my altar today. Very happy camper!

The authenticity of the food is amazing. Four of us dined here and ordered 4 different meals. Everything was super delicious. The servings are massive, I rolled out instead of walking out. The wait staff are very attentive. For a restaurant that's as busy as I witnessed their services is exemplary.

Great food and super service, BUT get there early! At lunch, the place is packed. Or try later in the day; anytime, it's excellent!

Update: The molcajete salsa is the best!! Highly recommend the chicken tacos!! I am so happy we found this restaurant and supermarket! It's the first truly authentic Mexican restaurant and grocery we've been to since leaving Jalisco just over a year ago. The red chicken enchiladas were delicious, the salsas were very tasty, and the crunchy totopos (chips) were freshly made from thick corn tortillas just the way they are served in Guadalajara. The grocery store has an excellent selection of packaged herbs and spices, and a wide selection of dried chiles. This is where I will come to purchase salsa makings, freshly made tortillas, fresh Mexican cheeses, and taco makings. Now my new life in west central Florida is complete!
