I can honestly say that the food was absolutely delicious. The authenticity was maintained as I compared it to the food I have eaten in Mexico, Texas, Arizona and California. (We ordered a traditional Mexican dishes) As we examined the dessert menu, we optimized for a dessert that had a Spanish flair added to see how well they infused the ingredients. The flair definitely enhanced the flavors added depth. It was very well done. There was a Spanish infusion added to the complimentary salsa and the chips were paper thin demonstrating that they were handmade. To top it off, the service was very well done. Polite and attentive with a good attention to detail. The ambience was pleasant, offering a cafe/ fine dining style atmosphere. Definitely a good spot. read more

Overall the food was good. The waitress was very attentive and nice. The ambiance was calm and not super busy. We went on a Saturday at around 2pm and it was surprisingly not crowded. Our group ordered margaritas and the gambas al ajilio for appetizers. The sauce was garlicky with a hint of lemon. The jalapeño margarita was nice and spicy. For the entree we got shrimp tacos, cheese enchiladas, ground beef enchiladas and Valencia paella. Everyone enjoyed their food, nothing crazy just good. For dessert we got flan, sopaphilas and fried ice cream. I liked the fried ice cream, the shell underneath tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I loved the shell on ice cream. Overall would come back. read more

This place never disappoints. Went here in January with one of my coworkers and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It has a family vibe. Food is well seasoned and the staff is always friendly. read more

We came here on a Saturday at approximately 1 pm. A gentleman told us to sit wherever we prefer so we choose a booth. It took over 10 mins to simply get a menu. Getting our check was another slow process. We asked a gentleman (not wearing a server uniform but who helped throughout the meal) for our check. He proceeded to sit down and chat with another staff member for a few minutes and we ended up asking someone else for our check. Now for the food, I ordered the shrimp brochette and it was piping hot when it came out. The food was ok, but nothing super fantastic. I feel like it lacked salt or some type of seasoning. My husband had a seafood stew that came with lobster. The lobster was over cooked, but the broth was delicious. Was not a fan of the service and the food was simply so so. read more

We had a beautiful lunch today. I haven't been here for years and I ask myself why. The chips were thin and the salsa was different and tasty. We had a taco salad, ground beef tacos and I had enchiladas. Everything was super delicious! On My enchilada dish came with 3 enchiladas. spinach, cheese and shrimp. Service was good too! read more

It's Mexican, not the best nor the worst. This place wasn't a place that wowed me. The food wasn't outstanding and made me want to come back after tasting it. Nor was it the worst Mexican food I have tasted. (That honor is given to Durango's, that is better off forgotten) The food came out in the way that is usual in Mexican restaurants.... It looks like it has been predigested. The taste was fine. Not as good as the sadly missed (by me) El Paso. It has of yet, give me food poisoning so that's good... I'm not a fan of Mexican food so I can't rate it badly, more so on the service which was good. The quantity was good and the price was good. So it was ok.... If it wasn't bland Mexican food that made me go Wow! Then maybe more. But it's ok. read more

Delicious food all around. Guacamole, salsa fresh made. We had chicken and steak lunch fajitas both delicious. Can't wait to come back to try the paella. read more

My husband and I ordered the Fajitas from the lunch menu. The service was great and food came out very quick. The meat was very tender and flavorful. We will be repeat customers. read more

Cacique Restaurant - Taquitos Fritos, Tamal Elote , 8.oz Chips & Salsa - Spanish Near Me - Hagerstown, Maryland

The atmosphere is relaxing and higher end with white table linens, etc Service was attentive while not intrusive. Their chips are so light and crispy, the best I've had in a restaurant's in quite a while. Selections are somewhat limited and seasonings of foods do not quite equal the atmosphere. We had the Mediterranean Salmon meal which was covered in highly salty sauce, portions were only fair in size for sides of black beans and yellow rice. The spinach enchiladas were lacking authentic flavor and tasted of processed white cheese so was unable to finish. The bar drinks look to be the best deal here as is the atmosphere for a relaxing dinner with friends. Just don't expect authentic Spanish or Mexican flavors. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. My wife and I frequent the one in Frederick on date night. Whether it's just the two of, meeting a bunch of friends, or just Happy Hour. Always a great time. So glad to see they opened a location here. Very nice interior and the food is excellent. This place is a Gem !!! read more

My wife and I went there yesterday, Wednesday around 4:30 and were very impressed with the food, the margaritas, the decor, and the service. We were in the general area and looked up Mexican restaurants on YELP for that area. After reading the excellent reviews, we decided to try it. We were nicely greeted at the door by the manager and asked if we wanted a table or booth. The first impression was the place was very nice. The decor was bright and cheerful and all of the table had white table cloths on them. The server came over promptly with the menus and took our drink orders. We both had margaritas, one frozen and one on the rocks. Both were excellent and well priced. We looked over the menu and saw that it specializes in both Spanish and Mexican cuisine. My wife got a bowl of asparagus soup and a crab stuffed avocado and I got the beef burrito. While waiting a very short while for the food to come out, we tried the chips and salsa. The chips were thinner than most Mexican restaurants serve and excellent. The salsa was a very tasty green salsa. I could have made my meal with just the chips and salsa. My wife raved about both the soup and here crab avocado. My burrito was full of shredded beef. I actually took half of my meal home with me and continued with the chips and salsa! We live about 30 minutes from Cacique but we will make the trip back again. It will be worth the drive. read more

Just a really nice dining experience all around with great prices and friendly staff. Feels more like a family run rather than chain restaurant. read more

Great food with a wide variety. My favorites are the paella and the roast duck. Good service too.

Really great Mexican and Spanish food, we have loved this place for years, but now with carry out cocktails it is the perfect pick up and take home feast. The fajitas are delicious with more than most people can eat in one meal. Plus the Spanish specials are ALWAYS reliability creative and yummy. The mojitos,and margaritas flavor choices are numerous, powerful and delicious. Family owned with great attentive staff. Enjoy. read more

I ordered a few appetizers, an entree and a dessert to be delivered to my son (who lives close to 3 hours away) for his birthday. They did not include the dessert in the order which was paid for. I called and asked them to please deliver the dessert. They refused. They said to just order two next time and one will be free. ABSOLUTE BS! I told them to refund the amount of the dessert at the very least. We'll see if that happens. Don't bother ordering food for delivery. You might not get everything you paid for. read more

Dinner on Tuesday evening 1/4/22. Beautiful, clean restaurant. Atmosphere lacking w/o music but they turned it on later. Salsa and chips arrived. Chips were warm and good. Salsa was some sort of cold tomato soup. We couldn't eat it. Queso was next.... Very, very runny/watery. Taste was cheesy but under seasoned and uninspired. Fajitas were good and chicken was plentiful but bland. The tacos my date ordered were bland and soggy on her plate. The beef in the beef taco tasted like it was a Sunday roast. No Mexican seasoning. More like potatoes and carrots. Friendly staff, but not attentive. It was hard to find the Mexican food in this Mexican restaurant. Probably will not return. read more

Had a terrible experience at Cacique tonight. We were seated right away and shortly after were given chips and salsa and water. Downhill from there. 23 minutes later, another couple that was seated 10 minutes after us was drinking margaritas. No server ever came to our table. Told the hostess what happened. No apologies. Never returning. read more

Husband and I went there on a Tuesday evening. There were 5-6 tables occupied when we arrived. Service was good and the staff was friendly. Restaurant looked clean & linens were crisp & fresh. The food was excellent! Husband had the Seafood Saltado and is looking forward to ordering it again! I wasn't very hungry (or adventurous), so I ordered a chicken burrito; it was very good. We decided to have dessert, since it was Hubby's birthday. He really enjoyed the flan! I ordered the chocolate mousse; shortly after taking the first bite, I died of happiness. The only negative is that restrooms were not up to par (out of TP, stall doors were sticky, trash on floor). We're looking forward to another dinner at Cacique! read more

We really enjoyed our celebration lunch today .My mom's birthday!!..our table was ready and we had an excellent waiter assignend..food was excellent and there was a wide variety..My granddaughter and I enjoyed the duck..my parents thought the salmon was tender and full of flavor.. we could linger and not be rushed..perfectly what we wanted..great food ,reasonable prices, and friendly service!!! We will be back!!!99,, read more

Very good food. Tender beef. Tasty. Great service. But so expensive....similar dinners in town are half the price and most are good. Taqueria Jalisco is good too and you can eat a big meal for 10. I have done! So I don't come here often, maybe twice a year. read more

I ordered delivery today and the food was pretty good. However, it did not arrive as described in the menu. "A large flour tortilla wrapped around rice and cheese and your choice of filling." I chose chicken. The burrito was filled with chicken only. No cheese or rice inside. Rice was on the side. I expected a handheld burrito. However, the chicken was delicious, although the rice was very dry and not much flavor. I missed the cheese. I was surprised to receive chips and salsa with the order, that was good. When restaurants open again for sit down service I will go to Cacique. read more

My wife and I went on a slow night. Service was fair, wait time for our food was reasonable. The atmosphere was very nice and clean. Maybe our expectations were a little too high but the while the meal was good we were thinking it would be great. My wife's entrée was missing the spinach but otherwise everything was correct. Overall the flavor wasn't at a level we were expecting from the opinion others had expressed. read more

Love eating here! Great mix of Spanish/Mexican food. I love the variety of food you can order here. They offer different specials to choose from so you don't have to pick from the same old menu fare. It's always fresh and hot when it is served. The staff is always friendly. If you are looking for a drink, try their Million Dollar Margarita. It's definitely a great option!! If like margaritas you will be happy you tried that one. The restaurant in Frederick is always busy. So you now have two locations to choose from!! read more

Hands down one of the best restaurant in Hagerstown. Definitely the best place to get Spanish flavors. The place is clean, classy and service is always top notch. I suggest to try everything on the menu, you won't be disappointed. read more

Visited on a Saturday mid-afternoon, were promptly seated and service was quick. Outdoor seating looked nice but it was a little too hot out. We enjoyed a half-pitcher of Cadillac margartias, and a few appetizers. The ceviche was especially good. Nice that they have a variety of Spanish and Mexican dishes- something for everyone. read more

This was our first visit. Everything we had was great. We started with Gambas Ajtil for an apitizer. The shrimp was perfect and the sauce was great. Glad it came with bread. Everything that followed was great. Will be back to try more of the menu. read more

I took my wife and child as it was suggested by a co-worker of mine that this place was pretty good. We drove for about 45 minutes (from Gettysburg) in hopes that the trip would be worth it, and we were not disappointed. El Cacique offers a large menu of mostly Mexican dishes as you would expect but also a few other Latin american dishes. It has a lot to choose from and I must say it was hard to make a selection as I felt like ordering almost everything in the menu. The staff was superb and made us feel welcomed, very friendly, informative, and made sure everything was to our liking and expectations. They were fast in refilling your drink and also chips and salsa. The food was excellent, service superb, and we also got to try some desserts that were delicious to say the least. I will surely come back to this restaurant. read more

The best server I do not think is still here. Kelly was her name , she actually cared and was informative and fast with drinks . I find that important when spending a lot of Money. My last few visits have not been worth it. Food is good however I want my appetizer first , then my dinner and I want checked on if I need something else. Otherwise everyone is nice but they don't seem to care as much as as a good server like Kelly. read more

Nice, clean restaurant with many menu options. The food was delicious. Service was great. I'll definitely dine here again

Was there yesterday! Wish I was more hungry. Just came back from Spain and found this place to be GREAT as far as the Spanish entrees. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had dinner at Cacique in Hagerstown this evening. It was our second visit, and I don't know why. I don't know why we don't eat there more regularly! I knew before we arrived at the restaurant that I wanted the roast duck - which I had eaten on my first visit. Along the route, there were multiple election signs for a candidate named, oddly enough, "Duck." It was clearly kismet. We arrived at 7 PM on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was busy but not "slammed." We were greeted by a very pleasant hostess who gave us a choice of a table or a booth. We initially selected a booth, but asked to be moved because the booth was just not to our liking. We were immediately reseated at a table and met our server, Alejandra. We looked over the selection of specialty margaritas, and decided to try a half pitcher of the "Cadillac Margaritas," on the rocks. We were served the house chips and salsa, and promptly received our beverages. This was, bar none, the BEST margarita I have ever enjoyed. The half pitcher was only a few dollars more than the "house" beverage, and more than worth it. Made with top-shelf tequila and, rather than triple sec, Gran Marnier, the drinks were smooth, tasty, properly proportioned, and well iced but not watered down. But for my concern for everyone's safety, I would have enjoyed another! My dinner date enjoyed mixed fajitas -- chicken and beef. Both were well seasoned, very tender, well cooked, and just plain delicious. The accompanying sides were excellent, as were the fresh tortillas served with the fajitas. Then there was my duck. Falling-off-the-bone tender, succulent, and delicious. The accompanying black beans and rice were excellent. There was also a serving of steamed veggies, which I would have forgone in favor of a portion of pico di gallo, which I requested -- and promptly received -- from Alejandra! I love duck. This was as good as any I have ever enjoyed. I want it again. Soon! Overall, this was an excellent meal. The service was attentive but not intrusive, the beverages top-shelf, and the meals met and exceeded our expectations in every way. We will go back...soon! And we will ask to have Alejandra as our server. Oh -- and the tortilla chips and salsa were delicious as well! read more

Every time I come here the food is amazing in plate presentation. The taste is constant every time. The staff is attentive, friendly and welcoming they make you want to come often to the restaurant! They even have live music on certain Saturday's a live Mariachi band! My son loved that as did I. I also enjoy their $3.99 MOJITOS for Happy Hour! A true MOJITO ! This restaurant is worth coming to! read more

Great atmosphere and a wonderful staff. Food was top notch and the beer was cold. Had a normal mexican menu, but the real magic is on the spanish menu with rich sauces. Don't forget to get dessert because the flan was so rich and amazing. All around great time. Thanks, Cacique! read more

Had lunch here with my wife yesterday. We got fajitas and they were fantastic! Also had a margarita, salted rum, which was also perfect. Were gonna have to hit up the Monday margarita specials for $3...all day Mondays...great service, prices are good. Combo steak and chicken fajitas were $11.99. Chips were fresh...salsa okay ( but I'm not a big salsa fan)...queso was excellent @$6 I believe...but a generous portion of queso so worth it if you have more than one cheese lover. Well be back! read more

Perfectly average -- server/manager refused to leave pitcher of water on table when sitting with party of 8+. Spent most of my time waiting for refills. read more

Cacique [Hagerstown] * * * * * is undoubtedly the BEST place to eat in H-town! IT IS A REAL 5-STAR bargain for everyone -- Dad, Mom, the kids, co-workers,friends,significant others, for daily dining as well as for those special occasions. Cacique offers a separate area for private parties, business dinners, holiday events, and family occasions. There's a pleasant out door patio with shade umbrellas for soft summer nights, or in-door private booths and tables placed out of conversation distance from each other. There's also dining seats at the bar for those who like to mingle and catch their fav sport on the huge HD flat screen TV. Cacique is conveniently located 1.5 blocks off of Dual Hwy on (right/NE side) Eastern Blvd No. / 1101 Opal Ct. Signage is on the ground floor of the 3-story white Securitas Security Services office building facing EasternBlvd with its entrance driveway on Opal Court. TEL: 301-739-7207 Plus, it is much, much, more than Mexican (which happens the best in Washington AND Frederick counties) and offers a broad array of Spanish and Hispanic South American entrees plus fantastic appetizers (shrimp, mussels, sea foods, etc.). My FAV is any one of the their Salmon plates served with crab stuffing or with shrimp & scallops in a wonderful butter lemon sauce; both are accompanied by fresh steamed broccoli + carrots + rice and black beans!!! But, my BEST entree (in both taste and price) is the "House Special Trio" which has fresh sea scallops topped with lobster sauce, large shrimps with parsley and garlic, and two beef tenderloins (filet minion) with black peppercorn sauce. Served with white rice, black beans, and fresh steamed garden vegetables. Cacique is a true "Restaurant" with white fabric table clothes & cloth napkins - a thing you never get in a reasonably priced eatery. ALL of the food is FRESH - no frozen, grease fried quick stuff here. And kids are welcome -- they'll love the children's menu. Oh, almost forgot, the gratis, never-ending basket of Chips & Salsa. It alone is worth the visit ... best Salsa in the area. Drinks are super: Margaritas, domestic & Intl beers, great red / white wines, you name it and they'll make it -- try a "Creamsicle" for those hot muggy nights, tastes just the ice creme bar on a stick that you got as a kid from the jiggle bell truck only more potent. Introduce yourself to the owner, Jose (or his daughter Cindy) and inquire about the Cacique VIP Club card that gives you a 15% food discount on EVERY visit, and also opt-in to their email list for monthly/weekly special treats such as a free entree! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING - - great food, wonderful atmosphere, smiling efficient service, and a true bargain and worth wild dining experience. I eat out 3-4 times a week at restaurants (not fast food) and Cacique is always on my list to visit at least once a week. I rate Cacique as 5- STARS* * * * * and the best overall dining experience in the mid-Maryland state area. Although reservations are not required, I suggest that you make one to be safe - the word about Cacique is spreading fast! 7-2-17 Marty G. read more

Expensive drinks and small. 7 bucks for cheese dip for chips. Not impressed at all. Owner by same owner and Cinco DE mayo in martinsburg but this place isn't in the same league! Won't come back read more

No croquettes! The zarzuela stew / soup dish had zero tomato and almond base so it was not authentic at all and lacking in authentic spainaird flavors. It's mainly a seafood slop soup. A mess! The lobster they advertise on the menu is a cray fish instead. No wonder it doesn't specify what type of lobster it is because it's not even lobster. It's over cooked crayfish. Lol! The paella wasn't spectacular either. Lacking in true Spanish food for sure. Mexican food is not Spanish food sorry. Their flan lacks a proper sugar caramelization on top. Definitely wasn't cooked how I expected it to be. Just had a runny water sauce slapped on top. Over priced severely for what you get or expect. Have these people been to Spain? If you are from Spain or like their food, look elsewhere!!!! The Mexican food also lacks big time in flavor and style. This is for noobs to eat at with zero knowledge or skill of the food. Or what authentic food should be like. They need better cooks. I have gave them 3 chances. Not ordering again. False fraudulent advertising on the lobster. read more

My wife and I drive by this Cacique's daily and decided to stop for Happy Hour. The restaurant's interior is very nice and I was impressed. However, it was empty at 5:00 during happy hour. They had $3.99 margaritas and sangria's. The margarita was good, but I didn't taste any alcohol, and my wife said her sangria had too much alcohol. (these drinks were pre-made) Their happy hour menu is good, but no discounted appetizers like most other places that have happy hour. I had a shrimp quesadilla and my wife had clams. We agreed that the food was good, but I feel over priced. Overall the food was no better than many other Mexican restaurants I've been too in Frederick and Hagerstown. read more
