We got our chips and salsa and our waitress was over quickly. We ordered some cheese dip and drinks, then we ordered our entrees, I had the enchilada verdes, she had the Carne Asada, the cheese dip had way to much skin on top, not the usual, my enchiladas did not have much flavor and were not piping hot as usual, if it was our first trip, this would likely prevent a second trip, but hopefully this is an anomaly, her dish was just ok. She would go back to the tacos again. We will give them another try and hope it was just that, and off night.

I saw this restaurant on a the highway food sign. Walking in, it said you can seat yourself. They have the list of daily specials posted as well. I was greeting after standing in the foyer area for a minute. The cashier was very friendly. I was presented a menu. They also have quesabrilla tacos that isn't listed on the menu. I ordered traditional asada tacos combo with rice and beans on flour tortillas. My order was placed at 6:43pm. I got it to go. I was told I could sit as it would be about 10 minutes. It looked pretty busy inside. I got my food at 6:55pm but it was really ready several minutes before as I saw someone being it and another order and place it on a pick up area. When I go to the car, I opened everything to check before leaving. I noticed they put the cilantro and onions in a container vs on the tacos. At first, I was confused but then I could see the reason for it. The rice and beans were together in another container. I was given chips and salsa. I put the cilantro and onions on my tacos before heading the road. The asada was average. It was warm in temperature and didn't give me the grilled steak taste that i love have had at Kroger places. The rice and beans was also average. I only ate about 5 chips because I wasnt that hungry and they weren't the best. My meal was $17 after tax, which I would say is average for 3 tacos, rice, and beans. It fulfilled my desire for tacos but not up to my standards for asada.

Ordered pick up, food was fast, affordable and very tasty! I will definitely be coming back hereread more

If you are looking for the best Mexican restaurants in Buford, you've likely seen Hacienda on your…read moreradar. As a frequent visitor to their various locations, I walked in with high expectations for both the atmosphere and the kitchen. While the flavors on this visit were a bit of a rollercoaster, the exceptional customer service and stunning interior design make it a standout destination in the local dining scene. Hacienda stays true to its brand with an eye-catching and vibrant interior. The decor is a masterclass in modern Mexican aesthetics. Bold colors, intentional lighting, and a layout that feels both spacious and intimate. I was promptly greeted by a friendly hostess who seated me in a cozy corner booth, perfect for a quick business lunch or a relaxed solo meal. While the food had some misses, the staff at the Buford location is world-class. My server/hostess was super sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. In an era where great service can be hard to find, the team here reminded me why this chain has such a loyal following. It's the kind of hospitality that makes you want to give a place a second chance, even if the kitchen had an off day. I opted for the lunch special accompanied by their signature queso and a pineapple juice. As a fan of the queso at other Hacienda locations, I had high hopes. It's a staple for a reason, though it didn't quite hit the peak flavor I've experienced elsewhere this time around. The salsa was also a bit of a letdown. It lacked that signature zest and kick you expect from authentic Mexican spots, feeling a bit under seasoned. I'd describe the burrito as mid. On the plus side, it was packed with protein, which was great for satisfying a serious hunger, but it lacked the flavor profile I usually associate with Hacienda's recipes. I have to be honest. The pineapple juice was a disappointment. It tasted more like sugar water than fresh fruit, and I'd recommend sticking to their margaritas or water instead. Hacienda in Buford is a beautiful space with a staff that truly cares about the guest experience. While the kitchen didn't quite meet the stellar mark on this particular visit, the protein heavy portions and the vibrant atmosphere still make it a solid choice for a quick lunch near the Mall of Georgia. Because the service was so incredible, I'm definitely open to returning to see if the flavors catch up to the hospitality. #ashsaidit #HaciendaBuford #BufordEats #GwinnettDining #MexicanFoodGA #RestaurantReview

I rarely write negative reviews, but my recent experience left me genuinely disappointed--not only…read moredue to the food, but more so because of the deeply unprofessional handling of a serious concern. I dined here yesterday with coworkers and ordered the chicken enchiladas. Within just a few hours, I became severely ill and experienced what was unmistakably food-borne illness symptoms that persisted through the night and into the following day. Notably, this was the only meal I had that day, and my coworkers--who ordered entirely different dishes--did not experience any issues. Hoping for at least a reasonable and empathetic response, I contacted the restaurant the next day to inform them of the situation. Unfortunately, the interaction with the manager was both dismissive and unsettling. I was told that my claim could not be "verified" because no one else had called to report similar symptoms, and therefore they could not take responsibility. I was further informed that any possibility of a refund or compensation was off the table because I did not report the issue the same day and lacked medical documentation explicitly tying the illness to their food. What was particularly frustrating was the implication that my experience was invalid simply because others did not report the same issue. When I explained that my coworkers ordered different items, I was met with continued skepticism rather than concern. The tone throughout the conversation felt defensive rather than professional, and there was a complete lack of basic customer care or accountability. Food safety concerns should be taken seriously, and customers reporting illness deserve to be treated with respect--not interrogation. Even a simple acknowledgment or apology would have gone a long way. This experience with blatantly rude customer service and experience with their food has left me both shocked and appalled. Due to the combination of getting sick and the poor handling of the situation, I will not be returning. Their food wasn't even that good anyway.

Our server was very friendly. Also a little bit forgetful but that's okay lol. She still did alright and it seemed like she might be a little new. The place was packed so she probably had a lot of tables. All in all we got everything we needed and she was nice, and that's mainly what I grade service on. The parking is plentiful here. The prices are pretty reasonable. Definitely not low but fair. The place had a fun atmosphere. There was karaoke the night we went! My friends and I didn't partake but it was fun to watch. I will say that in the future I hope they turn it down a little bit because I couldn't hear my table talk at times and that was a little frustrating Overall, we were all happy with our food and had a good time here! I would come back.

The husband and wife team from Mexico City and Ecuador run the show here. The thing I live the most is they have a spicy light green cream salsa that I usually only have found in Lima and in Peruvian Restaurants in South America or Florida. It is soooo good. Worth a trip to the bar for drinks and chips with it. That said I've had the Fajitas twice now and they have been large in scale and very much sizzling. Sizzling has surprisingly become a lost "art" at some places. Don puts it on the plate though. I also love that they use Lodge American made cast iron for the service. It beats Chinese made products where you don't know what chemicals may have been used. They have a lot of TVs they apparently pay for. That's no small expense for this size of a place. Interestingly they have Keno here. This is a staple of the restaurant/bar industry on the West Coast. It's practically the only way to make the numbers work. I rarely see this in Atlanta and I give the owners credit for providing this game and apparently some other lottery products. I'll be back more often. You have to respect an individual place where the owners are making the effort and working hard. I think they have live music on the weekend. Maybe I'll come then!
