Ozzie and Mae’s Hacienda opened in October of 2005 and was Williamsport’s first Mexican restaurant at the time. Over the years Ozzie and Mae have built relationships with patrons as well as neighboring businesses and has become a staple in dining in downtown Williamsport.
The authenticity and quality of food Ozzie and Mae serve comes from a combined 28 years of experience preparing Mexican cuisine.
The secret behind Ozzie and Mae’s delicious cuisine is their dedication to using only the freshest ingredients and making every meal on their menu exactly the way customers want it. Patrons can customize each dish to be as spicy or mild according to individual preference. This is a big attraction for customers of the restaurant.
One thing is for sure, if a little, or a lot of spice is enjoyable, ask for Ozzie's homemade hot sauce made with fresh habanero.
While dinning in at Ozzie and Mae’s, John and I were encouraged by our lovely waitress to try the homemade guacamole dip as well as their two signature salsas. The guacamole dip was made with fresh garlic and was bursting with flavor! Mae pointed out that they also use lettuce in their guacamole, which gives it an added texture and flavor.
The salsa came in two different types, medium and hot, and was equally fresh and delicious. Both came with house tortilla chips that were homemade.
For our main course, John and I chose different combinations of the fajitas. They offer many different types of fajitas including steak, chicken, shrimp, veggie, and a variety of combinations of each. The fajita meat was served in a large sizzling skillet with mixed sautéed vegetables.
The homemade tortilla, rice, refried beans, lettuce and tomatoes were served on a separate plate, to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy and the veggies from wilting. This also allows one to construct their own culinary masterpiece by loading on as much or as little of one ingredient according to preference.
Ozzie and Maes Hacienda also maintain a hopping bar that serves up the best margaritas in Williamsport. If margaritas aren’t your style they also offer many types of beers and mixed drinks, prepared in an atmosphere that feels so warm and tropical you may mistake it for Margaritaville!
Next time you are craving authentic Mexican cuisine or drink, think way outside of the bun and stop in to Ozzie and Maes Hacienda, located on West 3rd Street for a meal you will not forget any time soon.
