Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant & Gallery, Mexican restaurant in Ocala, United States.
Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant & Gallery is a Mexican restaurant in downtown Ocala, Florida, that serves traditional dishes such as enchiladas, tacos, and tamales alongside regional seafood specialties from different parts of Mexico. The same space also works as a gallery for local art, with paintings and works displayed throughout the dining room.
The restaurant established itself as one of the early Mexican dining options in downtown Ocala and grew steadily into a regular spot for locals. Over time it took on its gallery role, adding a new layer to what had started as a straightforward restaurant.
The walls of the dining room are covered with works by local artists, which change over time and give the space a gallery feel. Eating here means also spending time with original art made by people from the region.
The restaurant sits in downtown Ocala, which makes it easy to reach on foot from many other spots in the area. A reservation is a good idea on weekends and evenings, as the place tends to fill up.
Unlike most restaurants that hang a few pictures on the wall, this one actively works as a gallery where the displayed art is for sale. A dinner here can end with a painting going home with you.
