Took my sister here for lunch on Saturday. On entering you could see a bit of the aging of the establishment. We have not been here for quite a number of years since we moved down south. We were greeted and decided to grab a table in the bar so we could watch some of the games. The first high top we sat at, something was off. There was a smell, as my sister put it, "it smells like puke". Her words, not mine. So we moved to the other end of the bar, still the smell. So we asked the gal at the front to sit in the dining room. She walked my sister in and I waited till my wife came out of the restroom. We joined my sister and boy it was chilly! And my wife does not like it cold like that. So we asked if we could sit up on the raised area. Of course they obliged us. Found a booth by a window, it was perfect. Fortunately the place was not too busy yet so we did not interrupt anyone but the staff. My sister and I started with a Diablo Marg, really good! Then we ordered our entrees, I have enchiladas, one of each. They were super good, fresh and very hot/warm. Finished the whole plate! I would order that one again. I know there are some rough reviews for this establishment, but for us, it was a great lunch! read more

One thing I generally dislike about Colorado is that a bunch of places to go are part of some big chain. I was delighted to find Hacienda Colorado to be a short walk from my hotel. I went at night, and the outdoor lighting didn't clearly indicate if the place was open or not. I was relieved when the door opened. Nachos are my benchmark for any texmex sort of establishment. To my surprise, I was able to eat the generous serving that was set in front of me. Add in a couple Dos Equis, and it rounded out a good evening. I'll come again next time I find myself in the area. read more

We had a coupon offer for $20 off of a $50 purchase, so we went on our date night, which happened to be a Tuesday. We got the Taco Tuesday for Two special, and the food was outstanding! For the 2 of us it was only $24, I can spend more than that at Taco Bell! Since dinner was so cheap, we splurged and got the Chocolate Piñata. It was truly epic, a huge chocolate ball that you hit with a mallet until it cracked open to reveal pineapple, strawberries, and mini churros. We had an absolite blast and will definitely be back again. read more

This was our second visit to Hacienda Colorado and it was another great experience. We started with Gimme the Skinny Margaritas (light and refreshing) a Modelo Especial (always good) and an iced tea. The complimentary chips and salsa were very tasty. The chips were thin and crisp and they came with two sauces, one spicier than the other. For entrees, we had the Ultimate Burrito, a good blend of ingredients with the right amount of red sauce; the Chile Rellenos with red sauce and white rice for a balanced vegetarian meal; and, two combo enchilada plates...one with cheese/onion and ground beef topped with green chili and one that was topped with red chili. My only disappointment was that there was no bite or strong flavor to the hatch green chili, something I expect when I eat good Mexican food in Colorado. The atmosphere is upscale Mexican in a casual environment and our server was superb. I would not hesitate to dine here again. read more

My husband and I shared: - Poblano de Pollo - Fajita Quesadilla with Grilled Steak Both dishes were cheesy and delicious.

I would happily come back here to try more of the menu! read more

Have lived in Parker since 1998 and Hacienda was our go to for Mexican. Hadn't been in 6 months. Tonight tried dinner. Service was horrible. Then told the kitchen was in a wait??!! (What even is that?). The place was ALWAYS packed... we should've known when it wasn't that something was wrong. Super sad that these companies get acquired by larger organizations and run them into the ground. We will never go back. read more

The waiter with the deep voice ruined our experience. So much so that we won't ever come back. He "greeted" us at the host stand when we walked in and right away was rude and just odd. He sat us in his section. He was rude, awkward and didn't seem to know anything about anything when we asked him about the menu. We eventually started asking other people or just getting it ourselves when we needed something, to avoid his awkward, arrogant attitude. (Also our tortillas were hard and some of the food was cold, but we ate it anyway and didn't say anything because it was obviously an inconvenience for him). He made us feel uncomfortable and we couldn't wait to get out of there. read more

BEWARE! This place was nothing but unwelcome when I took my first steps into it and spoke to the guy from the front of the house ! ( can't remember his name but memorable young gentleman; not a sense of humanity , hummor , politeness or decent customer service with a dash of human interaction) or sense of humor like excuse me I'm trying to have a good day and I belive smiling back wouldn't hurt , not because a lady is smiling at you means she likes u There's individuals like us who were raised to be polite and kind to everyone no matter what Now another of the few disappointing things and events of today's events was to find out after almost half an hour that we had no longer our server by another waiter ; but he mention to us that he would try to help us ??? Like what is that supposed to mean ?????? On top of it my mother , sister and I get our food so late that we get served cold food ?!? Her and my mother end up eating some of it because they were hungry ; but honestly we and mainly myself I had already fill my stomach from drinking water , and the soda drinks that we ordered first and a bowl of chips that they brought to us in the beginning. I wish I should had gone with my gut feeling. Don't waste your money on this place , you can make better food at home and have a better experience cooking with your love ones or for yourself. I tasted the lack of care for the food and final product and as a former kitchen worker ; this is a disgrace ! PS . I actually intended to tip 0 but their system didn't let me and I was furious and embarrassed to had waisted my family's time on a place that disrespect their customers this way. read more

The original Hacienda and menu no longer exist :( Ownership has changed and corporate level management has forced this once local favorite over to a strange menu. The ceviche is gone, burritos don't exist on the menu at all, the guacamole is flavorless (the table side hopefully is less pasty and perhaps tasty) - & the special is a ribs combo plate without any seasoning . also, no Mexican restaurant should be without shredded beef.. our hearts are broken over these changes. Let this restaurant get their old menu back.. they knew what they were doing.. read more

Take our disastrous ax what we ordered was not delivered We wanted 4 portions of steak and chicken fajitas we received 4 portions ( reduced amount of chicken in comparison to other times) abd no steak Highly disappointing after we got home and saw the paltry options of chicken and great our steak was missing period Not a good experience which had left a bad taste on hour memories of what usually is a great restaurant for take out read more

Food was great and the service was great even during a busy night when the place was very full. Will definitely be going back

This place was an absolute joke. Upon being sat our server informed up that 'this place has recently been bought out so I'd recommend the fajitas' which I still can't make sense of. I started with a $13 margarita which I'm pretty sure didn't have tequila in it at all. It seemed to be 80% muddled pineapple and ice with a splash of sweet and sour, emphasis on the sweet. My mom ordered one too which showed up 30 minutes later. Even though the place was in the lull between happy hour and dinner, our server insisted it took so long because the 'bar was really backed up'. With what? I couldn't tell you, but it wasn't with customers. My wife and I decided to split the veggie fajitas for two since, you know, the place had recently been bought out and all and that's what our server recommended. When the food finally arrived, it appeared to consist of half a portobello, a half a bell pepper, some wet stringy onion and a single sliver of zucchini. For two! The dish the scoop of guacamole came on was about the same size as the entire rest of the fajitas, which were delivered lukewarm (I touched the fajita skillet with my bare finger to prove the point; plates come out of my dishwasher hotter than that skillet was). And it cost $35! We hadn't even had a chance to take a bite of our food when our server came over to look at our untouched plates and ask how everything was tasting. By the uncomfortable look on my face he could tell something was not right, explained that 'the veggie fajitas look small because they don't have any meat on them' and he offered to get the manager to come by and see about getting the fajitas and our drinks taken off the bill. The manager came by and asked what the issue was and, upon having me ask about the portion size, snapped back 'that's because he messed up and rang in the fajitas for one' and said she'd be taking them off the bill. Since their vegetarian options were extremely limited I declined to try and figure out what else to eat since the rest of my party had their meals already which we had waited about 45 minutes for already. Nothing else was offered and the drinks stayed on the bill. Not a couple minutes later the server came by mid-meal and asked if we needed anything else and told us he'd be bringing the check by, even though the rest of the party had just begun eating. I guess they wanted us out of there. When I tried to joke with him about the fajitas being so small because they were for one, he got defensive and insisted that he had rung them in right. Sure enough, when the bill came there was a $35 charge voided out on there for fajitas for two so I'm not sure who was lying; our server or the manager. Either way, the whole experience was so weird and left such a bad taste in my mouth that I decided to come home and tell you all the funny story on a still empty stomach. Hopefully the entertainment value is worth the $46 I still ended up spending there (after the $35 fajita snack plate was comped) while trying to have a good meal with my family. Here's hoping whoever just bought the place decides to raze the building and replace it with with a better Mexican place (like a Taco Bell) because as it is, it seems to be the type of restaurant that gives the Denver Metro area its reputation as the city with really visually appealing restaurants that absolutely suck at providing anything resembling good food or service. read more

Came here for lunch while visiting CO and the food did not disappoint. The chips and salsa were plentiful. If you come with kids, I suggest ordering their food first, it came out pretty fast that way we could enjoy our food when it came out. I tried the mex bowl with steak thinking it would be small but the portions were huge! My hubby got a burrito and it was also huge. The kids liked their chicken fingers and fries. We tried the churros for dessert and those were a hit. read more

HC no longer has stuffed poblanos. The menu has changed drastically.

I had the chili rellenos. I wondered where are the chilies?? My husband had a combo platter which he said was a step above Casa Bonita. My husband thinks that is why the other 2 locations have closed. Our waitress was pleasant, efficient & attentive. read more

It's taken me a few weeks to write a review. I sat down to a dirty table. There was an abandoned tray of dirty plates next to our table and we had to personally move it so my Dad could sit down. The chips were stale and the salsa was watery. My glass was dirty. Flaming Fajitas. I can't believe the irresponsible servers. I was in the Marines and my PTSD was triggered. They lit the plate on fire behind me and they added too much fuel. The table next to me was upset and the gentleman even said some of his arm hair was burnt. The back of my neck felt the heat and impact. I was not expecting that to happen, nor did I know they do this at this restaurant. It was my first time here, and my last. I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave. Not going into details, I had to take care of my mental health and I'm struggling again. What was going to be a nice pre Easter meal, ended up in a mental downward spiral. Please warn customers of this. It's a huge liability and I'm struggling to get back to normal again. It's not safe. read more

Very bad experience today . A reservation was made for a very important occasion. We had no clue that the menu had no vegetarian options. We were told that the menu is completely new and now there is a new management. The manager "Mary" was not at all empathetic to us for the inconvenience we had , although we were given a discount in the check "after asking ". However, if it was not the waiter Mr. Mark , we would have left looking for other restaurant options, he is just amazing with his service and was humble to us to make things better in our order . Overall it was not a good experience at this restaurant. I DO NOT recommend this place if you are a vegetarian. read more

Once upon a time this place was great. Since they implemented shrinkflation on their drinks and adjusted their menu substantially, I cannot recommend. Steak in the burrito was overcooked and burnt, rice was also overcooked to the point where it was inedible. Spicy Margarita was $13 and I don't think any alcohol was put in the drink. If you are going to charge such high prices on your food, you must implement a QA process to ensure the food that is going out meets a standard. Passing on burnt food to the customer is unacceptable. read more

Great outdoor patio area! Came by for an early dinner with a group. The chips and salsa were great, but the entrees fell short for me. I ordered the mountain Mex bowl and was surprised at how little flavor there was with so many ingredients in there -- it almost tasted watery. It also took a very long time to get silverware, drink orders, the check, etc., but will give Hacienda a pass on that one given the staffing issues these days. I probably won't be back but can see how others would enjoy the environment for a casual Mexican meal. read more

Overall, our experience was not good here. We have gone to this location for over 10 years and have always loved the vegetation options, the family environment, and the staff. However, new management means no vegetarian options, AT ALL, not even enchiladas.... I was dumbfounded by what I couldn't eat. Then after 1 hour, our waiter comes and brings us all cold food. Not a good experience and would highly recommend not going here read more

10/10 this place is amazing! Our waitress was awesome, she was quick and observant and brought refills before we needed them. The food was delicious and I ate my entire taco salad! The salsa was tasty and the guacamole was too. Best Mexican food I've ever had in my life! read more

Giving it 2 stars - one for the frozen marg/sangria swirl, one for service (which was OK). Now, if they only had some properly salted chips, properly seasoned salsa, or a decent entree, they'd be getting a more positive review. The chips were some of the worst I've ever eaten- stale, too thick, and ZERO salt. Salsa (which used to be my fave!) was just sad....extra-squishy, with no flavor other than watery tomato. I also ordered a grilled chicken chimichanga with queso instead of green chili. The "grilled chicken" had zero seasoning and was more like foam rubber, there was NO sauce or cheese inside, and the outside was soggy with grease rather than crispy. I'm super sad about this because Hacienda has been one of my faves pre-2020. It's gone downhill steadily since. Finally, the booth seats were in major disrepair, with cuts, holes, and filthy places on each one we passed. It also wasn't nearly as busy as in the past. Makes me wonder if they're sinking as a chain...very disappointing. :-( read more

We really wanted Mexican food yesterday, but sadly, we chose to eat at Hacienda in Westminster! We always choose to eat at booths rather than tables, but the booths at Hacienda are not ADA compliant, the seats are practically on the floor and are both injured our backs and knees having to sit down so low! After we were seated, it took more than 15 minutes for our server to bring us water and take our drink orders! It took another 20 minutes for the server to bring our drinks! So we've established that the service sucked! And they weren't busy at all! The tortilla chips were great, but the salsa is hideous! The predominant ingredient was cilantro, which we both despise--as does more than 10 percent of the world's population! It's a genetic thing! Cilantro tastes like soap to us, and if they would omit the cilantro, their salsa might be wonderful, but we'll never know! The beans had a very strong acrid taste. We won't be back read more

We eat here occasionally, when we are in the area, and have always gotten good food and good service. They seem to have cut back their menu some since COVID, especially in the choices of sauces, but there is still a good variety of choices. I usually have one of the burritos (most recently the Ultimate Burrito with ground beef); these are always good. Their chips are unusually thin but very tasty and are not greasy, and they are strong enough to dip the (somewhat watery) salsa. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, with lots of tile but not too noisy, and service is very cheerful and attentive. They offer reservations, which we have not used because we go at lunch time and we usually get seated right away; there have been one or two times we had to wait twenty or thirty minutes. I would say the food is "Americanized" Mexican, with no unusual dishes or ingredients, and lightly spiced. The restaurant describes its food as Mountain Mex, in contrast to Tex-Mex, and it is a lot better than Tex-Mex. Portions are generous, and served on platters rather than plates. Overall this is a fancy place, but not much more expensive that your average street-corner Mexican place. read more

Let me start by saying I've been eating at Hacienda Colorado for over 20 years. It's been one of our favorite places to have a good delicious meal and drinks. Over the years I gave had two of my company dinners at the Westminster location. These dinners were very memorable with platters such as the Mexican mesquite smoked ribs and the chili replenish. Along with the delicious posole. This last visit Saturday March 22nd 5:30 pm was a big disappointment in every aspect. First I noticed the walls are dirty and need a professional paint job. Not just a sloppy paint job with sloppy paint lines along the wood beams and ceiling line. I also noticed the sunshades on the west windows were fithy with food scattered all over them. We sat at a table next to the windows. Though the previous two visits we have sat at booths which are beat up and in dire need of restoration. Primarily the cushions. Now to the server. His name was Nathan. Nice kid. He took our order. One order of steak tacos. One order of signature ribs. One diet Coke. One house frozen margaritas. Two ice waters and some flour tortillas. Nathan dropped the ball. He forgot one of the ice waters. He returned to ask what we ordered. He forgot? It was only two meals. When the platters arrived he forgot the tortillas. My wife's steak tacos were the least flavourful she has ever had at Hacienda. This is the only thing she ever orders. I'm guessing she has ordered them at least 60 times in the past. My ribs were forgettable. Nothing signature about them. Three ribs with cartilage? Stuck in between the bones. I'm confused with this since I just had ribs at Texas Roadhouse last week. Pulling the bone straight off the meat cleanly and no cartilage. Just pure meat and delicious. Haciendas ribs were lackluster and way overpriced for what you receive. The Mexican sausage accommodating this plate was also bland. Hacienda please clean up the place and spruce it up. Train Nathan more thoroughly. Quality check your dishes and return to better days when visiting your restaurant was a very enjoyable experience all around.​​ read more

We walked in Monday 7/1/2024. We are a group of 10 and they refused to give us service. We even said we are willing to sit separately.

End of the day, you basic chain Mexican restaurant. Nothing really special about the food but it taste okay and nothing really wrong. Table side guacamole was not as good as I feel it could be for $13. Just avocado with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Needed more lime juice, needed another depth of flavor. Got the Colorado combination plate with both enchiladas. They were okay again, but the rice it came with was good as were the beans. Overall, basic and nothing special but edible and good if you're not adventurous with Mexican food. read more

Not happy with and will not be back. They offer you five dollar coupon to everybody at the table, then when you go to utilize the coupon they will not let you. It's a five dollar coupon for signing up for their automated texts, after the debacle and being told by the manager they would not let me use the five dollar coupon, I stopped their texting of me. So for five dollars they lost a customer that will not be back. The food is subpar anyway so not a big loss. The coupon is for an online order, but when you are the table they are trying to get you to sign up for it, and when you do the manager comes out and says oh so sorry that Coupon is not good today. So many better food choices in that area anyway I won't bother going back. read more
