    Two Cheese Enchiladas dinner plate
    Ab6485 ..

    I really enjoyed the flavors of the food here. All the right spicy flavor that you would expect good Mexican food to have. I ordered the two cheese enchilada dinner plate that comes with beans and rice. The chips and salsa are really good. The salsa was nice and hot. For my beverage I had a pineapple Jarritos. The service is very friendly.

    In Modesto for a quick work meeting and was craving some Mexican. La Hacienda did not disappoint! A little bit off the beaten path and no way you would find this place unless you Yelp'd it, you're a local, or literally was driving by. Nice family owned outfit and I was greeted promptly as I walked in the door. I already knew what I wanted and I'll say the super carnitas burrito was on point. Re fried beans were nice and creamy. Complimentary chips and salsa were good as well. Chips seemed homemade and weren't overly salty. Ton of food for the price point. Washed this down with a ice cold tamarind Jarrito's and back on the 99 I went!

    The food is great here! The fries are very light, not oily at all, I was worried about that when I ordered them for my son. The staff is very friendly! The waitress was able to go through the menu answering our questions. Recommend!

The restaurant was extremely clean, my pickup order was ready and waiting when I arrived, and the entire process was quick and easy. What really stood out to me, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience. It was one of those small interactions that leaves you walking out thinking, "I definitely want to support this place again." Great food is important, but customer service like this is what makes people come back. I really appreciated how I was treated and wanted to make sure the staff got the recognition they deserve. 10/10 experience. If you're in the Modesto area and looking to try something new, give this place a shot. I'll definitely be back.

Only to open everything and the "avocado" salsa that we asked for was beyond spoiled thick & gummy. Disgusting. It made everybody audibly gag right when opening it they clearly don't use any real avocados... radishes and lemons were so old yellow the radishes were spoiled and squishy. Asked for a side of chips and paid $4.50 We didn't mind in the moment but in the end none of the food was worth it. Steak was super fatty. Clearly didn't clean it. Rice & beans were mid. Had stopped here about a year ago and remembered enjoying it don't know what happened but they need major help. Customer service and quality has seriously declined.

Avocado and sour cream made for a creamy balance to the carne asada and beans. Size wise was solid and for the price of $17 not bad at all. Overall I'd definitely come back 7.6/10

Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

Chips and salsa were great and the warm beans on the side was a bonus . I had a skinny margarita and it was perfect and strong . I'd give this place a 7 out of 10 . Decent . Pretty good flavor. The grilled chicken could have add more carbon flavor and the rellano sauce could have been a little more flavorful .

    Basic Mexican food…read more I ate at the Dale Rd Las Casuelas location with a group of 5 on a Sunday evening. When we arrived, there was no wait and many empty tables. It is a pretty standard local Mexican joint. It is very casual and family friendly. There is a small bar separate from the main dining room. There is also a large back room that can be reserved for special events. The decor was nice and the music was fine. We were provided chips, salsa, and beans. I was not a fan of these. The chips were dense and the beans were flavorless. The salsa was alright. It was pretty hot but wasn't utilized much because the chips weren't great. For my main dish, I ordered the Supreme Quesadilla with beef. It came with a side of beans and rice. I liked that the beans had cheese but I wasn't impressed with either side. The rice felt a little bit undercooked to me. The quesadilla itself was pretty good. It was very cheesy and had a lot of beef. I appreciate the large dollops of guacamole and sour cream. The service was disappointing. It took an extremely long time for the waiter to come and take our order. We were sitting there ready to order for probably 20 minutes or longer. Once we received the food, we did not see our waiter again. We were in desperate need of a water refill but the waiter never came by. To me, the service felt very slow and unenthusiastic.

The staff was pleasant and welcoming from the start. They immediately brought out a mix of corn and flour tortilla chips along with medium red salsa and refried beans. Everything tasted great. I especially love flour tortilla chips, so that was a nice touch. I ordered the Steak à la Mexicana for $18.75, which was not part of the lunch menu. The carne asada was tender and cooked with green peppers and onions in a very flavorful sauce that had just the right amount of spice. It was supposed to be served with rice, beans, and tortillas, but I didn't receive the rice or tortillas. The refried beans were topped with cheese and had a good flavor. The food came out piping hot, including the plate, which was very hot to the touch. The portion was also plenty big enough that I had leftovers for dinner. Service was very attentive. The staff checked on me several times, offered more chips, and kept my water refilled. There is plenty of seating inside, a couple of TVs near the bar, bar seating, and a good selection of tequilas. They also have several different Mexican bottled sodas to choose from. Overall, a great lunch with good food and friendly, attentive service. I enjoyed the flour chips so much that I ended up taking an order of flour chips and salsa home with me.

Friendly waitresses! Our food was on the table within five minutes or our order being placed and we dined on a Friday evening when all tables and the bar was full.

Green sauce was an easy four stars red was a two stars for me. Green has more spice to it! My date got the La Compuesta salad, he loved his. He ate the whole thing which I could not have done. I took half my burrito home. The beans they serve with chips are delicious as you see in others reviews too. The salsa however left a lot to be desired. Price, food portion and service are with highlighting!
