A health inspector forced the temporary closure of Sayulita Taqueria, located at 10 NE 1st Street in Ocala, last week after finding multiple violations.

Sayulita Taqueria will celebrate the third anniversary of the opening of its downtown Ocala restaurant this weekend.

The celebration takes place today, Saturday, October 16, and will include live music by local reggae band, Propaganjah, as well as multiple drink specials.

Known for its tacos and margaritas, the restaurant opened its doors at its downtown Ocala location in October 2018. Its menu features a variety of authentic Mexican dishes prepared in modern, Americanized ways.

Among the many favorites are the walking taco, which comes in a Doritos bag, and the dirty dog taco, which is made with a hot dog.

The business joins a long list of others that are hosting anniversary celebrations this weekend, including Black Sheep on Broadway and Bank Street Patio Bar, which both opened their doors on October 12, 2019. 

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Vintage Toy Universe, and the Florida Pizza Shop will also celebrate their one-year anniversaries this month as well.
