El Toreo in Ocala is also excellent - some of the best food and salsa I've had anywhere.

Ay Jalisco has improved tremendously over the past 6 months - they were quite bland for a while, but apparently have new cook or cooks. The food is extremely good, and their salsa verde is the best in the area now - very tasty and the right amount of hot (and I like very hot!).
it does seem to come down to the cook for a restaurant to be successful. I grew up in south Texas and ate Mexican or Tex-Mex all the time. As I get older, I find I want Mexican food more often. Ay! Jalisco is my first choice. Naldo's in Southern Trace is my second choice and is very good but more expensive than Ay! Jalisco. Casa Agave is also very good 3rd choice but is the most
expensive of the 3.
