Chips and salsa as soon as we sat down.
Victoria L.

Food 2, Service 3, Ambiance 2, Price per value 2, Cleanliness 2 My husband and I have been living in SL for over 25 years. For decades, we have passed Guadalahonkys when traveling in Draper. We always got a kick out of their name. After COVID, when we noticed they survived, I told my husband, "We should try that place one day. They've been around forever, so they must be good.". Sadly, this is not the case. In their defense, two waiters recommended the same thing the chicken chimichanga and neither of us chose that. But a restaurant should not stand on one or two items alone when they have a menu 15 times that size. In any case, they need to do a deep cleaning/dusting on the place. The servers were kind but non-engaging. I told the waitress my husbands dish was awful. She did offer to get the manager, but my husband hates that type of stuff, and he had planned to eat his dinner regardless. So, I told her it would upset him, and no thank you. One plus is that they give you chips and salsa as soon as you sit down and refill them throughout the night. They were acceptable; not bad, and not great. I ordered the grilled fish tacos. They were underwhelming. My husband got the sweet pork Chimi. The pork had hard, dry, burnt pieces. It tasted like they threw sweet sauce over overcooked pork to try and save it. I was flabbergasted. Bottomline, we will not return. And I need to trust my fellow yelpers. In my defense, I didn't check the reviews until we arrived as we went because it was dinnertime, and we were in the area, and we had decided to try it one day. I wish we had left.

I really hate giving 1-2 star reviews, but this place really deserves it. It's also getting harder and harder to write friendly reviews when service and food is not up to standard.I understand everyone wants to get back to normal, but trying to open at 75% capacity without the extra staff really hurts especially on a holiday like Cinco De Mayo. I called a couple days ahead to see if they take reservations and they don't. You have to have someone come in about 30 mins earlier if you're seating a large party. I also let them know that their website gives false information about their dining room being open and they should update it. They also assured me that they are doubling up their staff to ensure the large crowds coming for cinco de mayo. I get there at 6pm and they told me that it's a 30 min wait. No problem, I planned on it. I provided my mobile number and was told that they'd send me a text message when my table was ready. I told them I'm headed to the bar so I won't be in the crowding waiting room. 45 mins later I went to check my wait time and they said they've messaged me twice but no answer. I didn't get a message at all and they said that their messaging system doesn't always work so I'm at the back of the line now. After a few words exchanged, they get me and my party of 7 seated. It took almost another hour to be served and it's ridiculous. The owners really need to update their websites, update their text messaging system, and beef up their staff.

We were greeted by the friendly hostess and were seated right away. As we walked in, our waters came right away and dropped off chips and salsa and took our drink orders, we ordered: Chimichanga plate Tostada à la cart Taco salad with chicken and a Fajita plate. All were great,,, everyone was happy with the food and service.

I cannot recommend this place. Tasteless - bland food and mediocre service. Not the same place it was 10 or 12 years ago...

La Hacienda Draper -- 12434 Minuteman Dr, Draper, UT 84020…read moreDate: September 21, 2026 This was my first visit to La Hacienda, recommended by some colleagues I was meeting with during one of my regular trips out to the Salt Lake City area. I ordered the 2 Smothered Burritos with Cheese ($13.99). Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me. The burritos were filled mostly with beans and had very few pieces of chile verde pork. I was expecting much more of that chile verde flavor and meat, so I didn't care for the dish at all. That said, we also ordered the Super Nachos with grilled steak ($12.99) for the table, and those were excellent! I'd honestly return for the nachos alone. I also had a Michelada ($8.99 each), which was VERY good and another highlight of the meal. Our table tried several other items, including 4 Asada Tacos ($10.49), 2 Chile Verde Enchiladas ($13.49), Bean & Cheese Burrito ($11.49), 2 Chicken Enchiladas ($13.49) and another order of 2 Smothered Burritos with Cheese ($13.99). Soft drinks and iced tea were $3.30 each. Despite being disappointed with my entrée, I'm giving La Hacienda 4 stars because the restaurant was very busy, the service was great, the place is nicely designed, and the nachos and Michelada showed me there are definitely some winners on the menu. I'll absolutely return and try some different options next time -- but those Super Nachos will definitely be on the table again!

Unfortunately, I did not like the veggie burrito. It was mostly rice and some beans. Of course, that's what comes with the burrito. I believe there was guacamole inside the burrito as well, but do beans and guacamole make a veggie burrito? I've had way better veggie burritos. If it wasn't for the service, this place would get a 2.

Wow, excellent service. The guy came out to my window after I left, he noticed that I didn't get any salsa. I mentioned that I had never been to the restaurant before, I think he wanted to make sure I got salsa if I wanted some. That saved me the frustration of getting home to find that I didn't have what I needed. Another thing that was nice that they did was ask how far I was going, I got it to go. He realized that the tortillas would get soggy, so he put them on the side. I love a new restaurant because they do everything they can to make the experience the very best. I hope that they continue to think of themselves as a new restaurant 50 years from now. If they do, this will be an incredibly successful restaurant. I wish you and your staff the very best

I ordered the fish tacos and a cucumber lemonade, and both were outstanding. The lemonade was incredibly refreshing and hit the spot perfectly. The fish tacos were crispy, flavorful, and served with several different condiments that allowed you to customize each bite and add even more flavor. The chips and salsa were also fresh and delicious. One thing to note is that the parking lot is small and was completely packed when we arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon. However, we were still able to find parking and get a table surprisingly fast despite the crowd. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a great experience.

They start you off with chips and salsa, which is always appreciated. Just know that the first basket is complimentary and any additional baskets come with a charge. Of everything we tried, the Cheesy Pastor Tacos were the clear standout. The birria, asada, and chorizo were all good, but the pastor tacos stole the show. Next time I'll probably skip the variety and just order those. The only thing that caught us off guard was the seating policy. They wouldn't seat our table until everyone in the party had arrived, even though the people we were waiting for were literally pulling into the parking lot. It wasn't a huge issue, but it did feel a little unnecessary and inconvenient. Overall, the food was excellent, the drinks were refreshing, and the experience was a good one. I'll definitely be back, especially for the Cheesy Pastor Tacos.

Pineapple-infused meat with occasional onion brings the taco to life and body slammed my taste buds. I ended up going twice in two days to get the same thing: tacos al pastor. My dining partner ordered the tacos birria de res and noted succulent shredded beef with lots of juices. A little lime here, a little hot sauce there, and whammo--a fiesta in your mouth. The rice and beans that accompany the entree are not bland and are fluffy and tasty. Chips are made throughout the day and get scooped out of the oven and into your bowl, something that is not only fun to watch but guarantees warm chips. Served with three salsas (the mild red one has tiny bits of carrot in it, which I loved). The horchata here is not overly sweet (thank goodness) and the agua fresca flavor collection is extensive and yummy. My personal favorite is melón (cantaloupe). Mexican Coke available as well. Easy to miss driving by but worth looking up and visiting. It's a great sign when the customer base is heavily Latino and they are praising the food as authentic. My service at night was unremarkable and distant. I got the feeling the server wanted to just go home. But the following day, with a different crew, service shone and was pleasant, so I'll write off the prior issue as an anomaly until it's repeated.
