La Hacienda

Chiles rellenos. Maybe not a dish everyone gets but my chance to get something tasty that takes a lot of work at home. The chiles were prepared well; lots of food on the plate. Service was fine. But...everything pretty bland. The chiles need some kind of sauce to spice them up. And dumping all of the watery table salsa plus more on things didn't do much either as that was also bland. Probably as long as you order something that you know will have a prepared sauce on it, you can probably have a better experience. And an additional note; are your servers eating at the pickup window because there is no break area? Or they don't get breaks? Not healthy during a winter of lots of flu, etc going around. For us or them.

The food was absolutely immaculate, we got the chicken tamales and never have I had such delicious restaurant food and it was truly embodying the authentic taste of Mexico. Though the service had some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in a restaurant, really made it feel warm. The atmosphere was very nice, the music was very pleasant to my ears and it had a very nice interior. 10/10 experience.

Got in late from out of town and La Hacienda was one of the few taco joints still open. We got take out, which could have skewed some of our experience since the tacos were kind of soggy by the time we got back to our place, but the food was alright. I got the caldo de pollo, which I actually enjoyed. It’s light, but flavorful. The rice was okay, but nothing special. Partner got ground beef tacos, chorizo tacos, and lengua tacos. The chorizo was his favorite of the 3–lots of flavor, but the rest were just okay. Service was good though. The person who rung us up was really nice and pleasant. Wait wasn’t terrible considering we walked in for last minute take out. It’s definitely popping on a Friday night though. Even at like 12:30pm, it was packed and pretty loud to be honest. Overall, not bad if you’re just craving some of the food on their menu. It’s nice that they’re open until 2 on Fridays and have plenty of seating.

Big restaurant with good parking and a lot of tables. Food and drinks were delicious. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Food came out fast and hot. It was nice to have the chef come by to check on us and other tables asking if the food was good. We had a great experience. Will definitely be back!

Although the new owner has made some nice changes - however, I think those changes are mainly cosmetics - some of the other changes are on the food and I have noticed the quality drop a little. The cheese feels different and also the amount of food given on the plates is less. Some new staff aren’t as engaged . See example of the guacamole I was served yesterday - the person on the counter was not engaged and didn’t care much about the services he was providing. This is the only Mexican place I have visited for over 20 years, I truly hope is doesn’t start to go down in quality and service
