Cantina is such a cutesy restaurant. My friend and I went on a Thursday and they had a promotion that included 3 tacos and a margarita for $15. Our server was a woman named Kristina— she was so sweet and personable .
I got the birria, Al pastor and shrimp tacos. All three were full of flavor and they did not skimp on the meat. The shrimp one was my favorite.
I ordered the blueberry margarita and my friend got a spicy prickly pear margarita. Both were tasty. Overall I enjoyed my experience and loved the ambiance of the place.

It was my first time visiting downtown Ocala and I found Cantina Tex Mex. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. The place is beautiful, full of Mexican art and colorful paintings that create a warm and vibrant vibe. The lighting and atmosphere make it feel lively and comfortable.
The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and very well prepared. Every dish had great taste and it really stood out compared to other places I have tried.
Our server Lauren was wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly during our visit. I honestly have only positive things to say about her service.
Overall, this place is a gem in downtown Ocala. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. I will definitely be coming back.

Food was fantastic. The enchiladas had a pleasant smokey taste to them, and the corn ribs were roasted to greatness. Our waitress Lauren was incredibly kind and patient with us. I will definitely come back here again.
