Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday. Nice, clean, place, beautifully decorated with a great outdoor seating area. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, and the food was great. We had nachos, and split an order of skirt steak fajitas. Plenty of steak, tender, and perfectly cooked at the requested medium rare. Everything was delicious, and reasonably priced. The only thing that was a bit of a surprise was a Don Julio Anejo margarita at $24 each. It was without ice, and they certainly did not skimp on the tequila, and it was a large glass, but a little unexpected. That being said, well worth the trip. read more

I will say that the atmosphere inside of the restaurant was quaint and classy. The food quality and service was also good and I enjoyed my stay. However, I was unsatisfied with one of my orders that my friend and I shared. If it wasn't for this one issue, I would've given this place 4 stars, but the situation impacted my table negatively. Both pictures I provided below are of dishes that were the same size and portioning and ingredients, but one was a custom order and the other was an appetizer from the menu item. The custom order came out to $25 which was absurd and the other app was $10 before tax. I was offended at the price scale and I know the order couldn't have been that challenging to make, so I was disappointed. Overall, really good food, drinks and a beautiful atmosphere. Just be careful when asking for custom things outside of the menu. read more

Great renovation and spacious inside. The food and drinks here are top notch and the service is excellent. It can be noisy at times when crowded. We often go there for celebrations and they accommodate large parties. I love the mixed appetizer and the beef fajitas. The skirt steak is also a favorite. They treat you well and don't rush you. Definitely a go to place. read more

Fruit flies and low grade margaritas. I wouldn't trust any fruit coming from the bar. The bar's tequila used for the margaritas could be better. The premade mix was smooth but the tequila was rough. The staff was kind but seemed distracted by the iPads. Overall I wouldn't return because the place felt dirty. Pros - hot temperature food - food came out fast - interior decoration Cons - fruit flies everywhere - margaritas - bar service slow read more

Food was not as expected We ordered 13 different dishes since we were a table of 13 pp. Unfortunately, 4 pp ordered birria burritos and 3 pp ordered birria tacos (all those 7 orders were a failure in taste) super dry and definitely not good. We did tell the waitress as she asked us about food, 7 people literally left more than half of their food in their plates. The rest of people ordered fajitas that were delicious and carne asadas that were good as well. Overall, birria was a disappointment for ALL 7 people that ordered from our group! Drinks were super good as always! read more

The food here was outstanding, all the food came out hot and tasted fresh! We love authentic mexican food and this hit the spot. Andre was our waiter and he was super helpful and friendly! The vibe inside was fun and they had fun music playing and it was air conditioned which was perfect on such a hot night. Make sure you try the Birria tacos, they were to die for! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Hacienda is a fun place to go on a Saturday night. Luckily it was easy to park and we were able to get a table within a few minutes. Service was generally good, although food showed up at our table that wasn't ours. They then picked it up after a few moments and dropped it at another table. I had a Virgin pina colada, elotes asado, and a steak burrito. Everything was good basic Mexican, but nothing really stood out. read more

This restaurant was amazing. We came in for dinner on cinco de Mayo, the restaurant was packed but we were seated in about 20 minutes. I had the king Cadillac margarita and my friend had the white sangria, both drinks were amazing!! We had the chicken nachos as our appetizer. These are a must! They were fresh, hot, and delicious. The chicken on the nachos was super flavorful and they were very generous with the toppings. For our entrees we had the shrimp fajitas and stuffed poblano peppers. Both dishes were delicious! Full of flavor and the portion sizes were great. The restaurant was packed but our food came out very fast & everything was hot and fresh. The service was amazing, our waiter even brought us some cinco de Mayo freebies (Tito's bandana, casamigos shot cup, corona bottle opener) which was super cool. Overall, great service, delicious food, and strong drinks. I will definitely be coming back. read more

They have great customer service. However, the kids meals with the french fries and the chicken tenders are too greasy for anyone.

La Hacienda es a nice family place and the services is outstanding. I would recommend it

A couple of years back a group of friends always go there always. We would order pitchers of frozen margaritas i've always enjoyed the red snapper and salmon i've always enjoyed all different kinds of dishes I miss it when they close for a little bit, but I'm thinking now they're open and hope to visit really soon read more

Didn't take food pics but ordered the following: The appetizer platter Todo Mexicano which brings chicken quesadillas which tasted pretty good;grilled shrimp cooked perfectly and delicious, empanadas with I believe had some yellow cheese inside and tiny tiny bits of scallions? Not sure but they just had cheese and small hint of some type of seafood flavor. Fried calamari which was fresh, and crispy wings which were overly salty almost not edible. Had the guacamole which was alright but did not taste the freshest. Flautas, which had a taste of grease and not as crispy as they should be. The nacho platter, this was pretty good but not as much meat throughout the plate, just mainly on top. But worth the price. Chicken tenders and French fries from the kids menu(not listed in main menu), but chicken was soo hard and felt like it was microwaved then flash fried. Not worth it! Though many have recommended to come give this place a try, I was not impressed. Overall, I would not recommend this place as your first stop for some American Mexican food(definitely not authentic Mexican food). If you want some drinks and appetizers, then this is the place for you. read more

Loved it. Food, service, drinks...... all great! Their sangria is perfect. We had the white, but have had the res in the past. Both are great. The ceviche salad is enough for 2/3 people and is fresh. The waitstaff is professional and respectful. Entire dining room has been renovated and has an authentic atmosphere We had the fresh snapper which had lots of garlic and tasted amazing Also had the carne asada burrito which made me smile when I ate it and will make me happy again tomorrow for lunch(big portions) Would highly recommend Hard to find places like this anymore!!! read more

Miss the old hacienda, even thought food is till good but the best. The ambience is not....it was way better before the new renovations.

Long time customer from before the complete renovation Food and service is still great, and I believe it's a family owned business with same faces working the restaurant. Friendly atmosphere but could use something to quiet the main room a little bit more. Drinks are great but a a great price too! read more

Had a $100 gift card to spend... according to the manager they would not accept a gift card we had because it was old and they have a new system. So our $100 gift card was only worth $25 as a "gift to us" We love their food and their place but will not be returning. Gift card was purchased in 2022. read more

Nice location pretty busy but we were seated fast w no reservations. Nice Frida decor which I love staff and waiter Javier super friendly and attentive. The food was very good and large amounts. The casa amigos margarita is delicious. The tracion de frida drink which is actually off the menu I see why, not good at all it should be remade into a frozen drink with an added processco to give it a kick. Other than that I would recommend for food we had tacos de lengua traditional and yummy, the mix appetizers w calamari, crab cheese empanadas, wings, and quesadillas so much took some home and the steak and chicken fajitas. read more

First time back since the remodel. Place looks much nicer and they have a bar area with tables and a separate dining room (which closes earlier). Came with a group from work and spent lots of $ on drinks: $22 per margarita cause we added those mini bottles on top, so more than $110 per round. Ended with Mexican coffees, another $9/each. On to the food...they do charge for everything. Chips and salsa $5, add guacamole you're up to $14, ask for sour cream $2. Shared apps of grilled shrimp, street corn(which they cut in half for us), steak/chix quesadilla were all good. Wasn't a fan of the flautas. Everyone ordered something different and were happy with their meals, except me. I thought I was ordering a shrimp enchilada, but it was really shrimp Al mojo, super garlicky, and I wouldn't order again, it was just shrimp and rice, no veggies or fixings, but that was my fault for misreading the menu. Drinks were all delicious and we had a great time. Very nice server Rosa put up with our celebratory group. Even got the birthday song complete with hat. Fun night out on a Friday and would return for the whole experience. If I was looking for straight up amazing Mexican food, I'd check out somewhere else. read more

Got takeout from here on a Saturday night and it was delicious! The quality is great - the rice, beans and guac alone were amazing. I got the Hacienda combo with a cheese enchilada, steak taco and chicken tostada. The steak was cooked and flavored to perfection. I usually wouldn't go for a cheese enchilada but was in the mood and it was so much more flavorful and filling than I expected. Not spicy at all so I would definitely ask for a side of their homemade hot sauce to take it to the next level. read more

Hacienda Campos - Hacienda Combo with cheese enchilada, steak taco, and chicken tostada. All so good but the steak taco stole the show! - Mexican Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

I had heard mixed reviews about this place, basically saying that since reopening, they were not quite the same. I hadn't tried them the first time, so i gave it an unbiased shot. I got the cheese enchiladas rancheras which are DELICIOUS. Not too overloaded with sauce, yet still so flavorful. Guacamole was super fresh. I also ordered the empanadas appetizer, mostly because of how intriguing they sounded. Stuffed with crabmeat, cheese, papaya, scallion & jalapeño. They were so delicious i will have to come back for more. Never would think a combo like that could be so simple and tasty. The food was prepared fast, i will definitely be ordering from them again. read more

The reason I came here was because two friends and I voted on places to eat at and the other two wanted to come here while I didn't. Anyways, when I first pulled up, the valet kind of expected me to know what to do and seemed condescending (which is fine, everyone has a bad day). When it comes to the food, it was below average. I've eaten at way better Mexican restaurants. The appetizers came late and the food came even later. Prices were a little high compared to other places I've been to (I don't recall a very small guacamole ever costing $14). If you are craving Mexican food, I recommend that you find another place instead. Location is decent though. read more

I was a little hesitant to come here because the menu did not look appetizing. After my parents gave me recommendations of different things to order I decided why the hell not. Although Hacienda is a Mexican restaurant it has more of a bar feel. It is extremely loud and there's a lot of hustle and bustle. The bar is in the center of the restaurant which makes it hard to retrieve drinks when it is packed. We started off with the frozen peach margarita which was delicious. They do not skimp on the alcohol and it's sweet like candy. We were blessed with salsa and chips which is highly addictive. Be forewarned that extra salsa, chips, refills of a soda or juice are not included. Trust me the salsa and chips are totally worth the few extra dollars! I believe we ended up ordering three more salsas after the complimentary one evaporated in less than five minutes. For our apps we ordered the Alas De Pollo En Fuego. It's chicken wings marinated in a zesty house sauce and then fried. We also feasted on the Todo Mexicano. The platter is a mix of appetizers that include chicken quesadillas, grilled shrimp, empandas, fried calamari, and wings. My favorite from the platter are the wings and grilled shrimp. The chicken quesadilla was good but had way too much chicken in it for such a small piece. I couldn't enjoy it. The Calamari was fried too hard and I've definitely had better. Besides the dipping sauce provided was bland. For our entrees we ordered the steak which came with rice and beans. The seafood enchilada came with rice and beans. I ordered the fajitas suprema which included shrimp, steak, chicken, onions, peppers, fresh tortillas, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, with a side of rice and beans. The food was delicious and the portions were beyond huge. We took the majority of our food home because we were full from the apps and drinks. read more

AMAZING. Now my husband and I were fans prior to the renovation, but now that Hacienda is open again, they are knocking it out of the park. The building itself is beautifully renovated to allow more patrons which it certainly did. They now have valet parking to allow plenty of people to come without a parking nightmare. Their menu has stayed simple and classic with plenty of options to satisfy all cravings. I ordered the enchiladas rancheros which were absolutely delicious and my husband ordered chimichangas both of which we enjoyed tremendously. I also had a margarita which was the perfect addition to my meal. PLUS the meals are so reasonably priced it was awesome. Cannot wait to return and bring all of our friends! read more

I went with friends to catch up and enjoy Mexican home style food. Instead the wait for 3 was long they had us wait in the car and they called us . I was starving by the time the phone rang. Unfortunately I wasn't driving so I had to wait. Once inside we ordered and it took another 20 minutes for the chips n salsa which we alright. They fup our drinks several times. The food took forever to arrive . My dish was a grease pit of salty flavors, none which made the dish appealing. The beef was definitely over cooked. The only thing worthy of a good job was their street on the cob. I say all this to say Not worth the trip. Not returning ever !! It's overpriced drinks and grease ball food can stay in Paterson . Their customer service skills meet their nasty food flavors. Worse place I've eaten in a while. Órale read more

Wow, what a total frigging disappointment. While waiting months for my fav local Mexican place to open we hit up a few other local spots but really none of them could compare. I loved Hacienda. Loved the crowded tables, commotion, large bar area, giant wooden booths and their always spectacular food and friendly prompt service. All of that is now sadly gone. They had this local amazing divey spot and what they replaced it with resembles a chain restaurant with worse service (as if that's even possible), a pint sized bar and a staff who can best be described as clueless. How clueless you might ask. After waiting the better part of 15 minutes for our order to be taken and in the middle of our 1/2 wait for our food the waitress came over and asked how everything was. There was literally a basket of chips on the table and four glasses of water. Bartender could not break a $10 bill and our waitress screwed up the change from our check not once but twice. Food is also a few notches down both in quantity and portion. This is a classic example of how not to renovate. You want to improve and expand upon your success, not completely change and destroy it. I honestly feel bad for whoever owns it because clearly they spend a huge amount of money that they would have been way better off holding onto. Generous 2 stars. read more

First time here, but I will be back!! This restaurant has great food, great staff and all great experience! I enjoyed the valet parking as we pulled up, then we went in and were greeted immediately even though it was Saturday night and they were busy. The margaritas were delicious...I had one with a shot of grand marnier, just make sure you're not the driver if you order this! Nacho appetizer was a full plate enough for 4 to share, since we were 2 we took some home! I had a shrimp dish, on the spicy side but excellent flavors. My fiance had a pollo dish with mole sauce which was a perfect combination of flavors. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes, the hardest part was trying to decide! read more

Exelent service the full very delicious. the personal very nice Salvador is the best. He's probably one if the nicest servers I've ever me.

I am a veteran of this establishment. I have easily gone here for at least 25 years. It pained me when it was closed for renovations and I was happy to see the place re-open. I really thought that they could have done something better with the size of the bar. Here is the really sad sad part of it all. I never mind spending money for quality and all. I mean if you want cheap Mexican food and drink go to Chevy's. The quality here is still better than most however the prices have gotten way way out of control. The large margarita, $22. Yes it was in a nice big glass however that is pretty ridiculous. Next issue, chips and salso used to be complimentary and now $3.95 The entries, the hand roll with beef a whopping $20 per entry. So on Father's Day, myself and 2 kids, the bill came to $120 with tip. Sorry, that is out of control. I looked past too many increases over the year and now not going to say never again but surely this is no longer going to be a regular stop for me. It really is a shame because all in all a good place but seriously over $100 for Mexican? read more
