The menu at La Hacienda reads like a love letter to traditional Mexican cuisine, featuring mouthwatering dishes prepared with care and quality ingredients. Signature offerings such as the Tacos Al Carbon are a must-try—charcoal broiled beef, chicken, or pork fajitas grilled to smoky perfection and served alongside Spanish rice, refried beans, and fresh pico de gallo. The Cheese Enchiladas with Rice and the Seafood Enchiladas showcase the rich layers of flavor and comforting textures that make Mexican food so irresistible.

Guests delight in La Hacienda’s vibrant margaritas, including favorites like the classic Margarita on the rocks and the Skinny Margarita, which balances refreshment with lightness.

From the crispness of their freshly made nacho chips paired with rich, flavorful salsa, to the satisfying heartiness of the Beef Fajitas for Two, every bite invites you deeper into a comforting world of bold Mexican flavors.

Families will appreciate the thoughtfully crafted Kiddie Corner menu, which ensures younger diners enjoy equally delicious options like pepperoni pizza with French fries or classic chicken nuggets—all served with care and alongside traditional sides like Spanish rice and refried beans.

    This is a little gem in the Memorial district bordering on the Energy Corridor. They have plenty of parking convenient to the entrance. I love their interior atmosphere. The restaurant is spacious, but also cozy. They have booth and regular table seating. They serve red and green sauce with their chips. The chips are thin, but not too thin. I am not a fan of some restaurant that have thick chips. These are just right. The margaritas are good. They are deceiving at first. They don’t taste strong, but they pack a punch. I recommend the top shelf (better quality of liquor). La Hacienda’s food is fresh, arrives to the table at the perfect temperature and the servings are large. I had the combination plate (#3) which comes with a cheese enchilada, a crispy beef taco and a puffy taco. My friend had the bacon wrapped shrimp. I tasted one and it was delicious! All the food was very good. I expected a regular taco shell for the beef crispy, but it came in a curled tostada type shell. It was very good. Usually, the cheese enchilada is my favorite item at Mexican restaurants, but I like their crispy taco so much. I have a new favorite, at least at La Ha. Both times I have been, I have gotten exceptional service. The waitstaff are all very nice and fast. This is an older Mexican restaurant, but it’s one of my favorites now. You can’t go wrong here. Great food, service and comfort. Everything I look for when selecting a place to dine. I will be back to try their tacos al carbon. That’s a favorite dish of mine. A neighboring table ordered it. It looked and smelled delicious. I had a little food envy at first.

    Visited this place for the first time in the Seventies as a pre teen with the folks and have fond memories. Fifty years later, these guys still knock it out of the park, from the margarita on the rocks to the delicious apps to the Tacos Al Carbon to the flan. Everything, service included was wonderful.
