First visit and it did not disappoint. We had no expectations except for a nice meal at a nice price. They have outdoor seating for when the weather turns nice that's a plus. Inside was neat clean and friendly. We received a warm and friendly welcome when we entered and that set the pace for a nice visit. The food was good as well as the service. They also have a nice margarita. We will be back. Also, it appears to be appropriately named as El Puente means the bridge which is nearby.

Rice and beans

First off the location is excellent for Deep Creek, and sitting outside was nice and the patio is covered by sails. Service was good the staff was very friendly and the place is clean. We went for lunch the place was packed with locals. If you grew up eating Mexican food daily skip to the second paragraph The menu has lots of options. They make guacamole at your table and you get to choose the ingredients, the avocado were good. The burritos are smothered with cheese and sour cream, your going to need a fork. The tacos are ok nothing fancy the rice and beans are also good. The portions are large, with standard chips and mild salsa at your table. Try the horchata. The corn tortillas are low quality, I don't think they are made there but I could not pick up the taco, no onions cilantro no lime with my taco. There was pico but not that good. And the carne asada was dry. We also had a carne asada burrito but you could not pick it up it was wet with sour cream, it was supposed to come with melted cheese we ordered it with out. It also had melted cheese inside, we had to eat it with a fork and then it fell apart. The guacamole was okay, my tacos came with a separate salsa not good, so we had mild table salsa and the other one. The rice had peas and carrots? Not a fan. I don't think I'll go back.

Margarita

Amazing service, great food, good atmosphere. My wife and I frequent this place. We are never disappointed. It's our go to Mexican spot.

Food was good and the service was GREAT. I was a fan of the salsa. It was just the right spice without being overly hot.

This is their second location the other one is located on Taylor Rd. in Chesapeake. The service was fast and attentive. The restaurant has a full bar and lunch specials. They created an outdoor area, no chairs or tables yet. The portions are good for the price. First time going here to eat. I had a grilled shrimp & chicken salad (El Puente salad). My 8yr old had the kids chicken fingers & fries. Her tenders were tasty, I always try her food, fries were fresh. We shared the dessert churros with ice cream, very tasty. It's a bit of a pain to get to this location if you live on the west side of Moses Granby Trail due to the bridge traffic. So we usually take our bicycles or walk to the shops.

Horchata in a giant glass. It's super tasty and refreshing

The staff is always welcoming here, and one of the things we appreciate most is the consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, the food is reliably fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. After a rather indulgent lunch, we decided to keep dinner light and split the Chicken Taco Salad along with a small quesadilla. The taco salad arrived in a crisp tortilla bowl piled high with seasoned chicken, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and plenty of melted cheese. The quesadilla was nicely toasted with tender chicken and gooey cheese, while the creamy refried beans rounded out the meal perfectly. Everything was simple, satisfying, and prepared with care. If you're looking for authentic Mexican street food, friendly service, and generous portions at a fair price, La Hacienda continues to deliver. It's the kind of dependable neighborhood restaurant that earns repeat visits, and we'll certainly be back.

Went here for Taco Tuesday dinner, close to around 8 pm. Restaurant was quite packed, but we didn't…read morehave a wait time at all. Waiter was quick to bring us chips and salsa and also take our drink orders. I tried their large Midnight Margarita (10/10) I loved the flavor and it was STRONG! For food, I was craving steak, and saw Steak El Amigo (10/10) on the menu. It was very flavorful, tender, seasoned, cooked exactly how I wanted it, and more than enough food for me. The steak was topped with cheese sauce, shrimp, fajita vegetables, peppers, and mushrooms. Also came with a side of rice and beans and tortillas. Def my new go to spot for sure. Already planning to go back next Tuesday, this time, to try some tacos and other drinks! My overall rate of experience : 10/10

We were sat immediately around 630 on a Friday evening. We received chips and dips before I could even sit down! Our server promptly greeted us and drinks were ready within minutes. So far, so good. For dinner, hubby had the Vegetarian E which came with a burrito, quesadilla and chalupa, daughter had the kids quesadilla with beans and I initially selected the shrimp bowl. Our food took about 15 minutes. Both quesadillas were barely warm and the cheese wasn't even melted. The refried beans were loaded with red pepper and too spicy for my child. My shrimp bowl was overwhelmed by cheese and aioli that I couldn't stomach it. Our server kindly let me order something else so I selected the shrimp taco salad. It arrived shortly thereafter but was also so greasy it made my stomach turn. 2 stars just for service. 0 for food. Overall, this meal was an unfortunate waste of $50.

Our waitress was very sweet, She joked that "Taco Tuesdays" are "Taco Wednesday" when it comes to how busy they get. They did seem understaffed, and we waited quite a while before we could put in our actual order, but our waitress kept our drinks coming in the meantime, never running dry. We were also given chips and dip for the wait out of courtesy, so even though they did have a timing issue they treated their customers with the care I expect from all businesses. We tried a little bit of everything including 3 tacos 4/5 stars, Birria taco with consomme 3.5/5 stars, Elote fritters 5/5 Stars, empanadas 5/5 Stars, taco bowl 5/5 Stars, and chicken 2/5 stars with curly fries 4/5 Stars from the kids menu. The food was good (The apps stole the show) and there was plenty of tasty options, even though we didn't all leave satisfied with our taste buds our waitress made it a great experience. The bowl my spouse had he said it was amazing and well worth the price for how much you got, but the sides for the Birria tacos were lacking when it came to my oldest, so sadly, the food went to waste because he did not like the way it tasted. He did love the birria tacos part. Our waitress noticed that my youngest did not like the kids meal (even though we did not complain), took it off our table and off the bill. No questions asked. Overall we had a good visit and would be open to coming back to try more, they have a lot to choose from and the welcoming atmosphere was top tier.
