Amazing! I always order from them to get my quesadillas with a side of beans! For some reason, I forgot to order the side of beans in my order tonight and I called them. They were able to just throw it into my order. Thank you Juan! You are an angel! read more

Terrible, dried out food. Also, they forgot the flan entirety ... maybe just as well

wrong wrong and wrong again. Will not come back here ever. We've lived in Fruitvale for 26 years, been here 3 times (every 7 yrs or so we decide to "give it a chance") and that was our first mistake. Ordered a FISH burrito and got SHRIMP (which i'm allergic to, so...). Ordered 2 DELUXE burritos and neither had cheese nor guacamole but they sure did CHARGE US FOR IT. save yourself, don't go here. plus, why are they blasting music on a radio with STATIC? Like who (WHO?) wants to hear that? c'mon people. D0 better. We'll stick with the taco trucks from now on. read more

This place used to be my go to spot but I am not sure if they changed cooks or what. The food is definitely not with the price. I pray ground beef crispy taco and enchilada combo and the oil from the taco was crazy. The meat in the taco was super gross. Taco Bell's meat is better and that says a lot.. it's a shame when buisness stop caring. read more

Highly recommend! Friendly service, delicious authentic dishes, generous servings, and complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip when you're seated. Great for weekend brunch. read more

The grilled veggie burrito is vegan (I'm pretty sure), delicious, healthy, and massive! It has no rice as La Hacienda's rice contains a chicken base. I was told the beans are vegan and the tortilla's fat is soybean oil. I guess I didn't ask what fat the veggies are cooked in, if any. It has guacamole by default. As far as I can tell, the veggies are zucchini, carrot, and green bell pepper. I was able to add lettuce and pico de gallo. It comes with chips and salsa. The tortilla and chips aren't homemade but are good. read more

La Hacienda Restaurant - Grilled Veggie Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

East bay burrito review #30 First taste 1/7 Meat 3/7 Beans 4/7 Sour cream - 1/7 Rice - 2/7 Tortilla 2/7 Overall 2/7 Nothing a hate more than asking for no sour cream and getting a mouth full on that first bite. Couldn't enjoy the rest of the burrito as it was a sloppy mess. I would probably try it again. read more

To see the progression from great to mediocre to terrible is quite sad. I was rooting for this restaurant but the food and service has declined so much. We have decided to go elsewhere. read more

Very good professional service. My husband and I have been going here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Mr. And Mrs. Guy/Cheryl Crossley read more

It just could have been a day for me but I do love this place. The food is awesome but I'm over being criticized from those who think black folks don't know a second language. So, here's a message to my folks this morning: ¡Que cabron! Por favor, no asumas que los negros no pueden hablar español y luego los critiques por la propina. Me encanta tu comida, pero no tienes que reírte de mí si la gente no tiene fondos. No sabes por lo que he pasado y esperaba obtener algo de alegría de ti. Eso no paso. read more

Most of their food is usually good but today was particularly frustrating, asked for plain nachos for my kid and we got home to see this... a single slice of melted cheese and a couple lousy sour cream dollops for $10 read more

Food was excellent I tried something different A chicken & shrimp sizzling platter with all the amenities Service great & personal with a smile Ambience great for me because it's quiet & cozy I always carry a book The avocado have a tad bit of to much lime ??? I prefer it less acidic it doesn't need that much because of the outstanding salsa to mix with it but I don't complain Overall I'm headed back today Salsa great not too spicy I could taste the cilantro read more

La Hacienda Restaurant - Rice refried beans & sizzling chicken & shrimp platter - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

La Hacienda is a warm reminder of the past, a traditional family style Mexican restaurant. We got the molcajete combination with beef, chicken, and shrimp in a rich sauce. It was a very generous serving and we left very happy. read more

Food is fresh and delicious and the service was wonderful. Very attentive. Ambience is homey and quiet.

In search of foody experience - Oakland California. Sunday afternoon, with Beer and Mexican food in-mind. Few places that my friend knew about in the area were closed. So we kept driving in McArthur blvd. and saw the sign, La Hacienda. With no previous knowledge, decided to go for it anyway. Oh My God! (notice I spelled it outload instead of just OMG!) I'm glad we did. This place, not exactly a hole in the wall, but very simple and cool. However, there is nothing simple about the food. When was the last time you asked for more refried beans and salsa just at the start with the Beer at the perfect temperature? So we got adventures, ordered tong with our loaded nachos, big plate, and in few minutes we licked it clean! Ordered 2nd round of beers and enjoyed some more. This would be my place to go for an authentic Mexican and am highly recommending it! BTW - Great down to earth staff, good service. read more

Hubby got take out from here and the food was good. I had two fish tacos with beans and rice and the chips came with it. The rest of my family had two fish tacos and a wet burrito. All were A-ok and nice and hot. read more

La Hacienda Restaurant - Fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

This was hands-down the worst service I have had at any restaurant in my entire life and I'm almost 60 years old. The teenager pretending to be a waitress is probably related to the owner and even though there were barely any customers in there we still could not get water, our sangrias, or pretty much anything else. 25 minutes later when Food finally arrived, the water and drinks still had not arrived, the meat was rotten. Run away from this place as fast as possible! There are much better Mexican restaurants in Oakland than this gross dive read more

Delicious traditional Mexican cuisine. A family owned and operated restaurant that serves up tasty enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and great salsa to go along with the tortilla chips! Try their cheese enchiladas with the red sauce. The restaurant is quite large and has a bar too! Parking is kind of tricky since it's only on the street. It's in an up and coming neighborhood with some ice cream spots nearby in case you want dessert. This place is a must try if you are in the mood for some great Mexican cuisine. read more

Our go to Mexican spot (as in the only one we ever go to..seriously). Delicious food that we've never been disappointed with: big ol' burritos (and they don't skimp on the meat..carne asada is bomb), solid street tacos (just had the lengua today and it was ON POINT..tender, a lil fatty, and so delicious. They're about medium size so 3 is good..5 if you're a beast), churros that are made fresh (no, they don't taste like they've been tanning under a heat lamp all day), and their chicken mole is good (although it tastes more like a diabla sauce than a chocolatey mole that I've had in the past). And with all that, the people that work there are nice..just friendly people working hard to make a living, churning out solid food that satisfies. Support this small business!! read more

There is one big problem with the fare at La Hacienda: it is just south, up a block on the same side of the street and it's called Los Comales. Walk into that place on a typical lunch hour and you'll see lines out the door. And with good reason --they deliver a quality product quickly. I have been to Los Comales (a 'comal' is a dark pan on which tortillas are warmed or grilled) a couple of times for their wet burritos. I decided to try La Hacienda the other day because Los Comales was closed for some reason. Equal review, right? I would order the same chile colorado burrito that I ordered last time to see how La Hacienda served it. Whoa! The first thing you see when you open the styro container is the mounds of pico de gallo atop the very dark red sauce (not a mole) that smothers the burrito. By the time you try it, the pico, which was cold, is cooked through. But the intense, rich, almost bracing flavor of the red guajillo sauce completely overwhelms the entire dish --so much that it acts against whatever sauce and filling was inside the burrito. The meat quality also wasn't great. The beef was a little gristly. A carne asada might have been a better choice, without sauce inside. I also noticed that ground beef was another option. How you would spend $13 and change on a ground beef anything is...well, not a great thought to consider. Rice and beans were average, absolutely nothing to write home about. The sauces that envelop the burritos at Los Comales are lighter and less intense. I had to give up on the burrito about 2/3 of the way in when it disintegrated with the weight and spice of the sauce. Service was a plus --a little better than at Los Comales, where you strain sometimes to be heard. But maybe that is not a bad thing. read more

Ordered the Breakfast Burrito and added bacon. Came with chips and Salsa for about $12. I usually don't review, but this thing was HUGE! Filled with fresh veggies, potatoes and had an awesome crema-type sauce. Elite size-flavor-quality to price ratio! Definitely coming back to give their dinner and margaritas a shot. read more

La Hacienda Restaurant - Breakfast Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

Most of our party enjoyed their food, but I ordered the enchiladas rojas to share with my 5 year old daughter. Both of us are fine with a fair amount of spice, but these were one of the spiciest things I have ever eaten! My husband is Indian and my daughter is Thai (adopted). I have eaten tons of spicy food in my day. This was almost unbearable. Thank God I took the first bite before my daughter ate any! Maybe some chili powder fell in the sauce or something and it was a mistake, but if you are sensitive to spice, beware of the red enchiladas. read more

Chopped up little pieces of burnt steak in the burrito, salsa was watery. I won't be back. Why is there no good homestyle Mexican food in Oakland. Just a waste, what you'll deal with when you're hungry. It was better last time, the guy there was ok not anyone I'd want to see again though. read more

Lots of take out from this place but it's wonderful for sit down dinner too. I love the nachos. Super nice people and good prices.

A pleasant surprise in the Dimond district! Very friendly staff, super clean and inviting place. It's quite dark inside, but that's fine for a quick lunch. Really good prices, solid food. Seems to be very popular for takeaway. The portions are very generous and the ingredients as fresh as it gets. read more

Updating. My old fish burrito is now over $16. Is this because grand lake kitchen moved in across the street? It's not a spectacularly original or unusual burrito so it seems like a crazy price leap. read more

Disappointed! DO NOT get the flan! Horrible no idea how places mess this up. As others have stated the sauce is horrible. Pass. Shrimp burrito it was ok, no flavor. Surprised when Mexican places miss the flavor so badly. Maybe the other items on the menu are better. read more

Just had some bombdotcom carnitas at La Hacienda Restaurant. I ordered a "burrito" but not really bc I asked for no tortilla so it was really a carnitas (tasty tasty carnitas) plate that came with refried beans, rice, lettuce, and pico. And omg the portion size was HUGE. Complimentary chips, salsa, and refried bean dip were really tasty, too! Service is quick and friendly and prices are really reasonable. :) read more

Friendly staff & fast service. Comfy & spacious. Complementary chips & salsa. Comes w/ pure veg refried bean dip, green salsa that is fresh as can be & red salsa that is spicy! Beans are pure veg made w/ water not lard yet rice has chicken stew. Grilled veggie burrito plate. Black beans w/ grilled veggies, green bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, & plenty of tasty guacamole. Had it w/o flour tortillas so opted for the made in house corn tortillas. The best authentic Mexican cuisine I have eaten in the SF Bay Area. read more

I didn't realize that this was a chain restaurant. Off-street parking and a decent socially distant dining room- does feel more like a take-out place. Greeted quickly and they were friendly when they sat us down. The menu is diverse and the food is very fresh and flavorful. Portions are huge and the table was crammed with plates! Lots for lunch the next day. Fajitas, burritos, enchiladas were great- sides of beans, rice, huac well portioned and fresh. The chicken soup was good - though I have to say it was a chicken thigh with skin and bone and huge green beans in a great chicken broth. We enjoyed dinner . Other points to note: would be great for large groups if they had a bar? Don't think they serve. read more

The food was okay nothing special, I had the carne asada, meat was dry & stiff, didn't taste fresh.the service was fast and friendly. I went on a slow rainy Saturday morning. read more

Most disgusting burrito ive ever ordered. Chicken has no flavor and is so chewy and hard. Ive had to spit out every bit. EXCESSIVE rice. There was supposed to be beans and cheese but there isnt. The sour cream got squirt on top instead of being inside the burrito. Im so completely disappointed. This is going in the garbage. It was a door dash order as im staying in the hospital with my son. They only refunded 50% of the cost read more

We were in town from Washington State for a soccer college ID camp. We wanted to pick a special place for dinner to celebrate our younger sons birthday. This restaurant is amazing. The staff were so genuinely warm and friendly. The food was also our favorite during our stay here in Morgan Hills California. Thank-you for helping make ours sons 14th birthday special and memorable:-)!! read more

Enchiladas did not taste right the Tamales tasted unlike anything I tasted before. The steak Fries were ok. But the meat had a lot gristle.

The rating is for a shrimp and steak burrito. It was bad, like I couldn't even eat it. I usually go to Tacos mi rancheros but this was walking distance to my house so I decided to try the place. The two stars is because the cashier was nice, the burrito was one star. I threw it in the trash and went to tacos mi ranchero lol read more

This is near Fruitvale in Lower Hills. The most delicious Shrimp Cocktail we've ever had. I had mine heated. You can pick cold or warm. We could have shared one. Huge price, but huge container of wonderful. Never ordered it here before and it was a pleasant surprise. They're ceviche is really good, too. Most everything we've had has been good. Been coming here for several years. read more

Well, this place could use a little face lift. The food is just okay but I was hoping for a bit more spice. The tacos came out hot but most of the filling was outside of the shell. The tamale was bland and the pozole lacked the depth of flavor in the broth that you crave. No reason not to stop to eat here, but no compelling reason to eat here either. read more

This has very quickly become our favorite Mexican restaurant and go to. Since we entered lockdown we have tried a variety of restaurants and La Hacienda is the first restaurant to get our special request right, every single time.(no cilantro, extra sour cream.) We've ordered 5 times and every time the food has been 5 stars, fast warm and delicious. They also always include extra silverware, chips and salsa! I can't recommend them enough and can't wait to try their food in person!! Thank you!! read more

Hands down the best tacos AND churros I've had in Oakland. Service is so friendly, chips + salsa + beans served before the meal is good enough to be the meal itself, just an overall amazing experience. read more
