Noon-ish visit for me. Middle of the week. My first time here. Seating service was immediate and friendly. Chips and salsa arrived in a blink. I asked for a small queso dip from the chip guy. 90 seconds later I was looking at a hot cup of delicious queso dip. First I ordered the Coronarita. It arrived 4 minutes later. Soooo delicious. The waitress was attentive and patient with my order. The food fast to my table and was so good!! The entire order was completely accurate. Chimichangas, nada guac and refried beans. All the employees I saw were smiling and cheerful and polite. The price was better than fair so I tipped well. When I return to this area, I shall visit La Hacienda again. read more

Went for a group dinner after work, there were plenty of open tables and our party of 5 was able to be seated right away. They brought out salsa and chips while we were looking at the menu and I asked for some spicy, oh boy did it have some spice! I ordered a tamarindo margarita to drink, it was sweet with salty tajin rim. For food I tried tacos al pastor, it came with a side of rice, beans, and more spicy salsa. The flavor on the tacos was on point, seasoned well with some sweetness from the pineapple pieces. Our waiter was attentive and we did not have to wait for requests. They had multiple TVs located around the restaurant to stay up to date on the FIFA matches, great ambiance for a Mexican restaurant. read more

I only eat here once while I was in town, but I was not impressed. The food was not very good. The staff were friendly and the place looked great from the inside. I will have to give this place a second chance to see if it was just what I ordered. My mom liked her food so it is a place worth trying. read more

La Hacienda was close and I wanted to see what it was like. Now I know. The food was average, but the staff were very attentive. The restaurant itself is well worn and in desperate need of a refresh. A lively atmosphere is absent here. I had the burrito deluxe. There is no "wow" to report here. The food just doesn't move the needle off average. I am sad to say if I compare this restaurant with the El Rodeo restaurant on Michigan Road, then El Rodeo wins. It's cleaner, fresher, and the food is tastier at around the same price. I always want restaurants to succeed, but La Hacienda needs to invest in upgrades to make their business better. read more

Perfect spot for a family to start the weekend!! We came here with 5 adults and 3 kids under two. We had plenty of space and high chairs for the kiddos. I didn't know you could make a reservation- but my friend was able to which was nice so we didn't have to wait! Quick service and good food! The house margarita was a bit sweet for my liking- but oh well- I don't really ever turn down a margarita. I do have to say I really miss the colorful chairs and decor they previously had! read more

Waitress said happy hour price for margaritas was $6. We were charged over twice that much. There was a language issue but she showed us in writing on her notepad the $6 price. In addition the margarita had very small amount of alcohol. Nacho order did not have anything but chips, beef and cheese. Had to ask for salsa and sour cream. read more

La Hacienda does a lot of advertising, so we decided to trek over to Carmel and see if they live up to the hype. I think they are part of a chain because there are other Mexican restaurants around town with the same name. This one is located in a strip mall just west of IN-31. The restaurant is large and tables spread out inside. There were a number of monitors playing Big 10 basketball during our visit. The dining room seemed a bit dark, but clean. The decor was modern and comfortable, but not upscale. Gilber, our server, was efficient and friendly throughout our visit. He checked on us regularly. He was 5 star. The menu is pretty typical Americanized Mexican with the usual offerings. They have a lunch menu as daily specials that run around $10. The food is not elevated, but standard Mexican. The complimentary salsa is good. The chips were freshly fried. I had the Speedy Gonzales lunch which consisted of a taco, enchilada and beans. The food was pretty standard looking, but portions were huge. The beef hard-shell taco was over stuffed with ground beef and cheese. The beef enchilada didn't have a lot of flavor, but adding salsa helped. My husband had lunch Special #9, which was composed of beef enchilada, burrito and beans. He thought the meal was good. They have a full bar and and plenty of dedicated parking. read more

Been hear multiple times and already enjoyed our time. They always have weekly deals on lunches. Meals overall are not expensive. Drinks are good, a little heavy on the flavor syrups. Food comes out promptly and has good portion sizes. The side of rice does not have much flavor and is pretty dry. I got the quesadilla and it was very flavorful. They have a trio margarita flight for 15 dollars that is totally worth it. read more

I hate writing this reviews because this has been our go to Mexican for at least 10 years but there is no going back after today. We stopped by for an early dinner there wasn"t enough staff (1 chip guy & a server) salsa has gotten really bland & my lunch came out wrong after waiting 25 min ( long time for mexican). I told server to forget it because I wasnt waiting to just bring a refill on my diet while my husband ate. Welp that didnt happen. read more

First time trying this place, my fiance and i ordered very simple meals upon receiving the food we were told the plates were "warm" but myself and my fiance ended up with burns from touching them felt like they had just come out of an oven. Food was bland and obviously microwaved. we did not eat it. when asked how everything was we explained and they just said okay and handed us the check. when we went to pay we had to explain again what happened. did not offer to comp some or all of the bill. we paid and left. chips and salsa were good though. read more

First time ever at this chain. My go-to is a taco salad. I had ground beef and the salad was all meat and very little veggies, but it tasted great. Big scoop of guac and crema too. Next time I'll have the pollo! I'll be back! Thanx! read more

I ordered an extra cheesy arroz con pollo and I don't even think they put cheese in here. Darn. Wanted to give this place a try for the first time b yeah won't be doing this again ): read more

La Hacienda is our go-to Mexican restaurant. The servers are friendly, the food is consistent, and delivered quickly. I got the Arroz Texano which is steak, chicken, and shrimp, covered in cheese sauce and served on rice with tortillas on the side. My wife got the Alcapulco Cheese which was a flour tortilla stuffed with chicken, onions and cheese sauce. It was served with refried beans and all the fixings that I needed to make my Arroz Texano into some awesome fajitas! (Yes, they also serve fajitas). You get free chips and salsa with your meal. Over the 2022 holidays the restaurant had a minor renovation. They got rid of the colorful tables and chairs you see at a lot of Mexican restaurants. They now have nice black padded chairs and more subdued decor. (The chairs and tables pictured are the old ones. I'll take a pic of the new ones next time we visit ... because we WILL be back!). It's not as cheesy looking now and has a bit more upscale vibe. We like the improvements. As mentioned, what we REALLY like is the consistency and speed. If you go there and find something you like, it will be the way you are craving it the next time you visit. And it will delivered promptly by friendly staff. read more

The food was mediocre and customer service was subpar. The salsa was overly salty. The rice and beans lacked flavor and the enchiladas I ordered were at room temperature. Our server seemed unenthusiastic about his duties. His only display of a 'smile' was when it was time to pay the bill. read more

Always are seated quickly - the service is truly excellent and the price for the food is very reasonable.

The food was fresh The food was tasty The food was hot Our server was very pleasant Good good good Come to the restaurant read more

I think La Hacienda is one of my favs to take my toddler: - I can trap her in the nice big booths - she is occupied by the chips and salsa - food comes out really quickly - great service - everything was delicious The chicken soup had awesome chunks of fresh avocado on top. I like the you can order just one taco for $3. The arroz con pollo was cheesy and yummy. They have a kids eat free night here on Monday nights. read more

This will be our family's new go to for mex. We used to hit another place in town 2-3 times a month but food quality had gone down. Tried La Hacienda for the first time last week. We're in. Glad to find a new go to for our mex place. 5 stars for what they are. Highly recommend. Quick service, great tacos and beans. read more

Friendly and prompt service! The food is very authentic and seasoned just right. I had the Azada street tacos and Chicken Soup. Both were plentiful and delicious! Highly recommend! read more

We eat here at least once a week. Their Cancun special is absolutely amazing. Inside is very cute too. Bonus that if you want to eat at home, it's available via DoorDash! read more

I've heard a lot about this place and their other locations so I decided to give it a try. The chips and guacamole were good and I like that they didn't add tomatoes to it. Served alongside the food was a mild salsa. Rest of the food was just okay. The taste profile was odd and tasted off, especially the rice and beans. There's plenty of parking, a lot of seating for groups of all sizes, and the employees are friendly. read more

I just ordered food from La Hacienda for it to be delivered. I was missing the main portion to one of my Child's Menu items. When I called them to discuss, I was told by two different people that the item was not on their receipt they had. However if that was actually the case I would not have received the side items that went with that menu item. They were rude and spoke over me at every chance. They never offered a solution besides telling me that I never ordered said food. They also never apologized for the order being incorrect. Very poor customer service and even if the food is normally pretty good, I doubt I'll go back again. read more

Great service, delicious food. Their chicken soup is the best in town. They have a great menu with lots of specials

Messed up my order. Rude to me. Said call door dash, but they are the ones that did not fulfill the order.

Holy cooked, OML the tacos were cheeks. The rice was hella hella dry-- barely any seasoning on that bi***.

I like La Hacienda, but today's dinner was not as good as others. Just something off. I ordered the Camerones al mojo or basically shrimp with garlic. The description clearly stated it was shrimp in garlic, but I didn't expect the garlic to taste old and burnt. Ick. Hubs liked his veggie fajitas. Hoping this was just a off night. read more

It was mediocre, food was good bit not great. However the strawberry mojitos were AMAZING!

Love love love this Laha!! We order from here frequently because laha is obviously the go to for Mexican food, but this specific laha is so good! They pay attention to the special instruction on the food, which I feel like is so rare on delivery apps. I love the arroz con pollo, the way they cook the chicken is my favorite. My boyfriend goes for the beef and bean nachos, he would recommend to any nacho fans out there! Buuuut the most important thing at any Mexican restaurant would be the queso dip! Let me tell ya, they nail it! Their queso dip is the absolute best!! read more

Update for Dine-In First and foremost - the staff here are phenomenal and very nice. I got seated right away and was immediately brought a water and chips and salsa. My server, Janet, was very kind and attentive and just a real quick shout out to her because she deserves it! I ordered a small queso, two shredded chicken tacos on corn tortillas and an order of rice and beans. I had a great time and I was stuffed afterwards! I also got the Lagunita IPA for any IPA lovers, I would definitely recommend! The tacos were great and the corn tortillas are my go to because it just tastes better in my opinion. They also have really good rice and beans, and I know that sounds funny - but there is a distinct difference between good and bad rice and beans and these are the good ones! This place is a must try if you haven't been there yet! read more

Great restaurant! Went here with a party of 4 on a Tuesday night. We were seated immediately and the waiters were fast and efficient but not pushy. We were in and out within an hour just due to the speed of service. The food and atmosphere was wonderful as well! It feels more modern in terms of decor and the menu. The price range is low to moderate in terms of Mexican restaurants, but the food is great! read more

Margarita Monday was a success with grandma and the girls! Our staycation spot in caramel was not too far from La Hacienda! It was a pretty busy night for them, but they were very efficient and super attentive to all our needs! We tried the frozen sangria margarita and a mango margarita. My kids felt special because they got to get Jarritos. I'm a fajita girl so I got the Texas fajita with shrimp, steak, chicken and veggies with corn tortillas. My girls had nuggets and fries and grandma had the camarones a la Diabla, it's got a real kick! On our way to the bathroom my girls discovered the selfie walls. They have two photo opt walls but the wings are golden!! We'd definitely go back! Tasty food, fun servers, family friendly environment read more

Good vibes here! Decor is cool. Beers are ice cold and the Margaritas on the rocks w salt are top shelf. Best queso dip in town and the chicken soup is very hearty!! Ate at the bar and the bartender was good! read more

Kind of a weird location. Went on a Friday afternoon around 3:30pm and staff seemed confused to have customers at that time. Service was very slow. Ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was legit just grilled chicken topped with melted cheese in a shell. Not even cut into pieces. I'm used to being able to pick up my quesadillas in pieces and dip in some toppings like salsa, sour cream, and guac. Nothing here. Had to cut it with knife and fork. A little bland but not horrible. Nothing stood out at this location so I won't be in a rush to return. read more

La Ha fits all my requirements: -Huge space -Fiesta-vibe decorations -Free chips and salsa -Friendly staff that'll speak Spanish with ya -Large menu -Short wait times I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was good, but I couldn't finish it (so big!). I learned what a chalupa is (finally) and am excited to order those and some tamales upon my next visit. read more

This restaurant always delivers! Best food, service, and price. They have recently added Blue Moon to their beer arsenal, where I paid $7.99 for a 32oz! I would have pics of food but a greedy spirit came over me read more

Carly- tacos were flavorless, guac was expensive, but good. Carter- I liked the burrito amigo read more

We eat here pretty regularly and enjoy the food. We always start with a cheese dip and they hAve some of the best chips I have eaten. I got the Ribeye and enjoyed it. Keep in mind it's only $12 so it's no Ruth Chris steak. Beans and rice were good. $10 margaritas were great. We also had steak tacos were good. Service tonight was great. read more

I had not eaten at La Hacienda in a long time.. to the point the owner asked where I had been. In all honesty I send my hotel guests ( I run a hotel) all the time , but have neglected to go myself. My only wish is they served Coke products over Pepsi. We both ordered chicken fajitas and had enough leftovers for two meals. So very tasty!!!!! read more

Early Friday dinner. Service? Crazy good! Food? Equally good! I was impressed with the presentation of the plates. Looked as though it was thoughtfully laid out on the plate and not hurriedly slopped on there. First time to this location and I will be back. Chips and salsa hit the table immediately after we sat down. Queso came quickly. Our food order came almost too quickly but I will not complain about that. Manager came to check on us, which I always like. I shared how impressed I was with his team. By the time we left, dining room was packed. Can't wait to return. I really felt the value for the price is strong here. read more
