"I went on Valentines day and it was PACKED. They did everything in a timely manner with the short amount of staff members they had and they were so kind. We ordered take out and it was out so quick. The food was absolutely delicious. Their horchata is TO DIE FOR. I absolutely loved it. I ordered it without ice and it stayed nice and cold without it. They try to make sure they take people in the order they came in. If they don't just calmly speaking up about it is enough to have them help you out. This place needs more hype because everything about this place is amazing."

"Two waitresses and both helped each other. It was nice to see teamwork like that. Very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent. Definitely will visit again. The atmosphere was being outside in a garden of freshly bloomed flowers. Loved it. Sorry, no photos were taken. I had enchiladas, and hubby had the fajita burrito."

"Had the Veracruzana trout. It was good, so I give it a 4, if you’re looking for great tasting trout I recommend the chubby trout restaurant nearby. The dipping sauce was good as well."

"Excellent food. The waitress was very pleasant too. The restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. The restrooms are clean. I would definitely come back here."

"Update on Review 2023: We have been going here for years and it is always a good spot for lunch or dinner. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is wonderful! We went yesterday and the Enchiladas Verdes was a bit on the spicy side this time and the taste was great! We still get the same things as they are just so good. We have had numerous people go with us who try different things and everyone has always liked the food. Highly Recommend! Good food and service, don't bother with Hacienda if you are looking for real Mexican food. Mexican Tacos, Nachos, and Enchiladas Verdes are among the favorites. Everything we have tried has been great...hot salsa on request!"
