La Hacienda - Nachos (Shrimp and chicken) - Mexican Near Me - Opelousas, Louisiana

Appreciate that this restaurant makes an attempt to do vegan fajitas. But putting cheese in the beans means it's definitely not vegan. Also it's obvious there is pork fat in the beans. So beware. Definitely not vegan. There is also a language barrier. Food took a very long time to arrive and was incorrect. Missing several things we had asked for. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

La Hacienda - "Vegan Fajitas (not vegan) - Mexican Near Me - Opelousas, Louisiana

Local authentic Mexican food is hard to find luckily we have one of the best in town la hacienda cuisine is always a good choice. You get. A Decent meal And good service. But lately I have noticed portion size and quality seems to be waning However the food is still very good ambience is totally lacking simply because it's a small establishment and served almost like fast food would be. However if you want a great margarita or two or three. If you can handle 3 You can still stumble out happy read more

I ordered pick up. The food was cold & seemed not fresh. Was very disappointed. This really surprised me.

Good food and beverages for a reasonable price! The service was great and the restaurant was clean and conveniently located.

Got me in and out on Cinco De Mayo . Place was packed , but service was great and food was outstanding

Traveling from Boston to Houston and we decided to stop here after our day of travel. We are originally from Texas so we have tasted our fair share of authentic Mexican food. This place did not disappoint. Everything was well-marinated/seasoned. The food was high quality and the service was top-tier. If we ever found ourselves in this area again, we would make sure we stopped by. read more

This place is so authentic--love being there!!! The food and service is top tier and they make feel like you're home with family...

Friendly service and the food was very good. The waitress was very friendly. Everyone was helpful. Try yhe enchiladas...they are very good.

This is my go to restaurant for Mexican food in Opelousas. The food is great, the atmosphere is relaxed and the employees are very friendly! read more

This is a very good place to get some good Mexican food. Closer to authentic than any other place I've been in the south so far. We had the Al pastor taco plate #70 and it was 3 larger tacos (bigger than the traditional street tacos) the Al pastor was seasoned good and I asked them to chop it a bit more than they usually do since I don't like bigger chunks of meat in my taco. It comes with rice and beans and also a tomatillo salsa that is super spicy and amazing!!! We also ordered cheese dip which is a white queso and oh so yummy. Their chips are homemade and very good also. Our server was super nice and friendly! We will definitely be back. I forgot to take pictures unfortunately. read more

Being from Texas and after eating Tex-Mex all my life, good and bad. I was not expecting much in the way of authenticity. I was thrilled to like the place from the minute my guest and I walked through the door. We were politely and thoughtful seated without delay, served with chips and salsa and had our drink order taken all within minutes of arrival. Pleasant atmosphere, clean and well maintained. And then there was the food!! Homemade salsa that was very good, even if it was served cool. We split an order of fajitas, beef & chicken. It was accompanied by a healthy size of refried beans, Mexican rice, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and chopped lettuce. All fresh and delicious. The Flour tortillas could be homemade, being warm and fresh tasting, perfect for rolling the really, really good meat along with the grilled to perfection along with peppers and onion, all served served on a sizzling skillet. The order fed 2 and we took a wee bit of the meat with us. I will go back, but this time, I am getting my own order! read more

Stopped in this restaurant for a late dinner after a 12 hour day of driving. Didn't expect much except some fast basic Mexican food. Boy was i surprised. The tacos al pastor were SPECTACULAR. The refried beans were incredible, but the hot sauce, made with chile de arbol stole the show. AMAZING read more

We were passing by on our way back to Dallas and looking for something good to eat. La Hacienda had great reviews so we stopped to give it a try. We are so glad that we did! Juan was immediately attentive and hospitable. We stared off with the queso fundido and it was AMAZING! We also had the fajita steak, chicken and shrimp nachos which were so impressive. Very large portion and so delicious. That was really enough for us and my daugter to share with the fundido but bc we didn't know the potion sizes were so generous she did have the Mexican pizza which was also great and a very generous portion. We wish this restaurant was in our home town! What a great value for such wonderful food and service. read more

The bathrooms had no paper towels. Ordered a burrito that was supposed to have peppers in it and a chili rellano came out wrapped in a tortilla I don't like chili rellano's sooooo there's that. We ordered two of these burrito's and our bill came out to $40+ tell me how that math works out? An older man next to us did not order what was served to him, he asked to have it replaced with what he actually wanted and the waiter brought a menu over and told him he got exactly what he ordered, if he wanted something different, that's a whole new order (basically getting charged for both) Don't recommend this place read more

The food was "okay". Nothing bad, but nothing to brag about either. Always nice to have a 2 for 1 margarita option which was not offered. The service could use some improvement. The staff was not very attentive, friendly, or appreciative. Restaurant management should remember that it's good to get someone's money, but better to earn their return business. read more

We stopped at La Hacienda with a hearty appetite, and they delivered. We both had the two beef enchilada combos, and they were tasty and plentiful and served with a smile. We'd happily stop here again. read more

Nice service but really tasteless food. Honestly- I don't know how you could creat something so flavorless. The margarita...salsa...shrimp and chicken. All simply blah. I'll never go back. read more

I have never left a negative review. This is my 1st. We had to walk out due to the poor service. The wait staff came to our table about once every 8 minutes. The order was incomplete, wrong tortillas, wrong sides, no water; after asking twice. I got up to tell the hostess we needed somebody to wait on us. Finally we got up to leave. I was going to pay for the margaritas that we drank, and the appetizers. Nothing else. Our waiter was working the cash register, and he looked at me and then tells me he'll be right with me. I told him that it's to late. To close me out. Everyone looked at me and then him. He asked; in front of the other customers, what was wrong? And I told him. You never brought my sides, you never brought our waters, you brought the wrong tortillas. I would not recommend this place at all!!!! read more

Walked in usual was not greeted . It took a few and we were seated . As my party was sat I went to the restroom . The ladies room needed lots of attention. Trash was running over and it was not tidy . I then went to our table where cold chips and hot sauce was provided. I was not a fan of either the chips nor hot sauce 2/10. Drink orders were then taken by our waiter.As we await our drinks I notice the hostess at the bar chopping lemons with no gloves and placing them with bare hands in a container. Drinks came and we then ordered . Food came out in a reasonable time and presentation was a 7/10 . So food was prepared hot but it was cheap quality and lacked flavor . I would rate food a 3.5/10 . As the waiter was brining the remainder of the food I requested the check. He must have noticed my displeasure and asked was the food good I honestly stated it was okay . Paid the check and hauled out of there quickly . Waiter was okay only complaint he wasn't attentive as I would have preferred and when asked questions he was like it's all on the menu . Presentation was the best thing but I wouldn't ever return or recommend. read more

This used to be the King of Opelousas Mexican dining.... those days are gone. Ever since Pedro's rolled into town their quality has taken a HUGE nosedive most likely because of the tremendous loss of business and they are cutting corners now. The only reason someone should come here now is because Pedro's is packed and you had your heart set on Mexican. read more

Tilapia asada the greatest dish I ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Fish will never be the same again.

Very nice staff. Nice, big menu selection. Nothing to complain about. You do normally wait a little longer than some other Mexican restaurants but not overly long and the food is always hot and fresh when you get it. read more

Haven't had authentic Mexican since I moved from Michigan to Louisiana. I really enjoyed the food. Staff was very friendly and all smiles. Food came out faster than expected. Rice had a slight aftertaste, that's really my only complaint. I loved the chicken taco & burrito! I will be back read more

Delicious Mexican food and very good margaritas! All at a reasonable price. The staff is very welcoming.

Mmmmm! Love it here! Authentic Mexican food and wonderful people. So glad we live close to here so that we can come often!

Stopped in while passing through, they have 2 other Mexican dining options but I noticed the parking lot full at this place possibly the Most authentic Mexican I have had in louisiana .. read more

If you like Mexican food, this is the go to spot in Opelousas. The food is amazing and staff are so friendly. I always get the Nachos Tapatios but I get it over Spanish rice instead of over the chips and it is amazing! The bathrooms could be cleaner, that is what I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 stars. The restrooms have always been dirty when I've gone but they're not absolutely disgusting. I feel they could be cleaner though. read more

You know what burns my ass? Orangeheads like Anthony that have one F ing review, 0 friends and get on here just to trash a place, but have no credibility whatsoever as they just joined Yelp to trash this particular restaurant. And worse, to say that if you ate here and liked it, then you're a dumb shit. Well lemme tell you, I lived in Dallas for 26 years and have eaten at at least 100 Mexican places there and in other states and this joint in Opelousas is pretty decent. It's family owned, the food is fresh, the service is good and the margaritas drinkable. And I think that is saying a lot for a Mex place in Opelousas. four stars. easy. read more

I would have never thought there would be an authentic Mexican restaurant in Opelousas, but hot dog there is one. This place is the real deal. I was impressed from the time I walked into the door with my family. They do not speak fluent English so this makes ordering rather difficult. Thank goodness my son knows Spanish. My mom, daughter and myself ordered the chicken and steak fajitas, which was amazing! One of my sons ordered the quesadillas and the other one had steak with shrimp. The serving sizes where unbelievable. The staff is always accommodating, and they get it right every time. They have a polite wait staff and really yummy food. I will be returning again! This place has been added to my "must go back" list. read more

Very good authentic Mexican food. We found this place by Yelping it. The staff were very attentive and accommodating to everyone's requests. My boys loved the Flautas and oldest daughter went big with the Carne Asada plate and my wife had a vegetarian fajitas and I had shrimp fajitas (we both skipped the beans and rice trying to be carb-free). So we loved this place and would come back. Excellent flavors! read more

Had lunch with the family. Service was courteous and the food was good, hot, and fast. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I am originally from Fort Worth Texas and have eaten at all the popular Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in that area. We moved to Opelousas in 2010 and discovered this gem of a restaurant. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. I feel like family when I go there now. Definitely worth a try if you like Mexican food and are in Opelousas. read more
