Filo's Mexican Cantina — Restaurant in Ocala

Let me start off by saying, when I first tried this restaurant, it was life-changing lol. Ever since the first, I’ve tried it. I have been there almost almost every other day I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been to this restaurant, The employees know my order at this point and I love that about them. They are always so sweet and kind when you come in, I have weird request some times in regards ordering my food and they never question me or make a face and do it with a smile. The food quality is amazing, I noticed you guys did something different with your rice not to long ago, Please keep it that way because it is even better than it was before.. the meat is phenomenal, the seasoning to the food is amazing. I honestly don’t have the correct words to describe how great they season the food. I enjoy this place so much to the point where I am using them to cater for my wedding October 4 of this year. So far working with everybody with this catering (Miguel and Andrew to be exact) has been an absolute pleasure, They sincerely want what’s best for you and to do nothing but serve you the best service and quality food. I have not had one employee here who has been rude to me nor have I ever had a horrible experience with their food the amount of times I’ve came to eat here for lunch. Keep up the AMAZING work. I will update this review after my wedding in regards to how the food and catering was in general!!

UPDATE…

The amount of food we received for 80 people was MORE than enough. They did a great job with the food, it was great. The only thing I will say is the rice was undercooked in a few trays but we had enough to...

Located inside the Equestrian Center. It is not available to the general public if you're driving a car and don't have a specific Equestrian reason to be inside the complex. There are no directions inside this massive complex. You need to have local knowledge. We wasted 60 minutes trying to find the restaurant by car only to learn that it's only accessible by golf cart or 2 feet. Usable signage is not available in this complex. What signs exist are confusing and misleading.

Two phone calls to the young lady at the restaurant desk proved useless. For the first 30 minutes, she had us going to the wrong hotel parking lot. It turns out there are two large white hotel looking buildings.

If that isn't enough management has not synchronized the site map with GPS map providers. The GPS was as confused as a young lady behind the desk at the restaurant.

This was a surreal experience. My wife and I thought we were in a remake of the movie Groundhog Day. Frustrated and still wanting Mexican food, we reloaded the GPS and drove to Las Margaritas on College Avenue for a wonderful meal.

Bottom line...This is not a restaurant that visitors to Ocala should casually consider. Management is remiss in not saying that it is a member/guest only eating...

I got the nachos to go and added carne asada with extra CILANTRO! I opted to get the jalapenos on the side and no sour cream. The guy taking my order was very accommodating and patient with my "special" requests. The staff was very friendly and all seemed to enjoy working there. The nachos were unique in the fact that they are more of a white cheese dip nacho as opposed to what you would get at a ballpark. The refried black beans and pico de gallo created a delectable synergy mixed with the cheese. Every bite was excellent and the meal was enough for two people to be honest. Highly recommend and probably the best thing I've had at the World Equestrian Center, earning a...
