  This place has the best Chimichangas!! They come out crispy and light like a pastry shell. Chicken inside is soft, and delicious. You get 2 Chimichangas with rice and beans for less than $9.00. Plenty of food for two people to share. The place is owned and operated by one man and his 2 grown children. Every dish is made by hand by the owner. If you love a nice cold BEER with your dinner they have a 4 beer bucket for $5.00, includes, Bud, Bud light, Michelob or Land Shark!!
  The outside bathrooms are rather primitive because they are open to anyone that might be walking by. But the food and cheap beer surely makes up for it!!

  I really enjoyed my huevos rancheros to the very last bite, so having a horrifically disgusting restroom experience really hurt me on the inside. I thought us Hispanic folks were known for their powers of cleaning and sprucing truly shitty things up a bit? I'm not sure if anyone here actually spoke Spanish,(they did not to me when I spoke it to them) but the meal, the salsa, and the menu looked authentic, so at the very least I'd have to suggest a ladies touch because the decor is damned, and a proper bleach scrubbing never hurt anyone either.

  This place changed hands and names in 2008, from what the server told me.  It was called El Patio.
  
  For those of you who do not know, Waldo sits on U.S. 301 somewhat near Gainesville, north of Ocala.  It's a sleepy produce sort of town with not a whole lot to offer.  Normally, I would just roll right past a place like Waldo, but hungry prevailed.  La Chica and I saw El Molino and decided to give it a shot.  She ordered the JUEVO RANCHEROS, and I the CARNE ASADA, which came with small guacamole side salad and 4 flour tortillas.  All of it was very good, especially the salad.  In fact, the salad might have made the meal for me.  The tomatoes and guacamole were just incredibly fresh and flavorful.  The carne asada itself was good, but not the best I'd ever had for sure.  Not even close.  The rice and beans were up there though with some of the best I'd had before, so all in all it was a great meal.  
  
  I'd go 4 stars, but I had a horrific experience in the bathroom.  I heard the women's side was safe, so I figured I'd hit up the men's before resuming travel to Jasonville.  I can't really explain what went wrong in there, but it appeared that someone had whipped fecal matter all over the floor with hand towels, and then threw the hand towels in the waste basket, as opposed to flushing them.  So between the smell of the smeared feces on the floor, and the hand towels stewing in the trash, it was quite smelly.  I can only hope it was recent and they just didn't know, and that if they had knowledge of it, they would have cleaned it up immediately.
