    Side of beans
    Cammi P.

    La Hacienda was such an amazing meal, and has quickly and easily became one of my new favorite restaurants. The chips were so crispy and fresh and the guacamole was delectable. The lobster tacos were savory and sweet, you will lick your plate clean. The side of rice and beans was ginormous and perfect for sharing. The margaritas are strong yet the perfect accompaniment to your meal. I dined here during Christmas at the Princess and still had the most relaxing, amazing and peaceful meal. It was fun to have so much going on around us, while still being able to enjoy an incredible meal. The service was top tier and walked in when the restaurant opened without a reservation and was offered a table inside or outside. If you're eating at La Hacienda, the restaurant will validate for valet which is crucial and makes it the most convenient parking option!

    La Hacienda Honestly, the service of this place is always unmatched the most places. I'm one of the managers, knowing that I was struggling to read the menu, he brought me over my own personal lamp. Vibrations are fabulous, but not as good as the bartenders. Jackson, Emmanuel, and I loved Raymond and Cassidy. I loved my lobster tacos and my margarita was fabulous. We really enjoyed the chips and salsa's and a homemade guacamole. Everybody there was so nice. I WOULD RECOMMEND

    Shrimp Empanadas

    Food quality this time wasn't the best. The Guacamole was a little dark and didn't seem fresh which was served with the fajitas. The 3 small Lobster Tacos did not do justice to the price of $33 as they were bland and had zero Mexican flavors. It seemed they were forced on a taco and served with some sweet kind of jam. The Queso was pretty tasty. The Chips and Salsa were great as always but be up front if you will charge for a tiny bit of spicy salsa as they did. The Birthday dessert was heavy and wish they could give a few lighter options. Overall, great ambiance but food could be much improved. If you will charge high prices, then take care of the small details and make it worth it.

    Came here for a girlfriends birthday celebration. Ambiance is cute. I like the decor in here and service was good. As for the menu, I got the blood orange margarita which was pretty good. Dinner was the chicken enchiladas. I liked those a lot. They did bring out a couple of birthday desserts; churros and a little cake. Overall, this place was nice and I would probably come back for a nice occassion.

    Great food, great service with recommendations by the staff and great atmosphere no matter if you choose outside or inside. Food is reasonably priced for what you get however drink prices are on the stiff side of the $

    Great dining experience here. The restaurant is beautiful, service was top tier and everything was delicious. They start you off with some chips and salsa which always hits the spot. We ordered some guacamole too, which is made table side to your liking. We decided to order a few different items to share, the lobster tacos, chicken fajitas, and the carnitas hacienda. Was really surprised how fast everything came out (maybe 10-12 minutes after we ordered). Everything was fresh and delicious, the tacos were so good and that carnitas was amazing. Loved the spread on the fajitas and how you get a nice portion of everything. Definitely a great spot to dine.

    Tacos & margs were excellent at La Hacienda. My husband had a conference at the Fairmont Princess, so I naturally had a staycation & worked from the resort for a few days. I really enjoyed the bar at La Hacienda. Stephanie was really friendly, and made me some great drinks. They do not offer happy hour, and the food is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. The chicken tacos were amazing. Pro tip, sub the pickeled onions for pico. I would dine here again next time I visit the Fairmont Princess!

    Lobster Tacos

    What a fabulous dining experience!!! You are made to feel welcomed from the minute you enter and all throughout your time dining!!! A beautiful restaurant with amazing food, drinks and service!!! From the warm homemade chips and table side guacamole, to the exceptional lobster tacos and flavorful fajitas. You can't go wrong with any dish!!! I only wish I had room for their decadent desserts!!! Beautiful inside or outside dining. They deserve 6 stars!!!!!

    We went to La Hacienda on a Friday night--it was relatively busy, and I'm glad we made reservations. We started with the chips and salsa, which were incredible--fresh, crisp chips and salsa with just the right amount of kick. I ordered a skinny spicy margarita, and it had amazing flavor with just the right heat. For dinner, we had the chicken fajitas and a side of plantains. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The server asked if it was OK to bring out extra corn tortillas, but didn't mention there would be a $1 charge per tortilla. She was otherwise very attentive and friendly, but it would have been nice to know about the charge ahead of time. Great flavors, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere--just keep that tortilla note in mind.

    Came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. The food was average at best. Every table gets a large basket of chips when seated. Those were a great starter. We got the sampler guacamole and was probably our favourite of the night. The corn tamales were average - a little dry and too sweet. Portions are huge and we had some leftovers to take back. The space is nice. We sat in the patio and was lively. They had a table side Mexican coffee which the table beside us ordered and was really cool! It was a nice dinner but food wasn't as expected.

    Beautiful restaurant. Had a great time this past Friday. The lobster tacos are literally unbelievable, one of my favorite tacos in the valley! They are delicious. We got the chicken and steak fajitas... they were ok. Waiter was extremely friendly. Only thing was the restaurant was unusually cold inside... idk what was going on. Margaritas were ok, nothing to go crazy about. Would go back if I was ever in north Scottsdale; I'd recommend this place, especially if your staying on the property

    Love a spicy margarita!

    Love this restaurant! My favorite time to come eat here is during December when there are all the Christmas lights! The Lobster Tacos are absolutely amazing! I order these as an appetizer to share with my husband. I hate sharing these tacos! They are that good! I follow that with steak fajitas and without dessert I am happy. Honestly, the Lobster Tacos could be my dessert...

    Is there a dress code?

    It's located with grounds of a 5 star resort hotel. Typically in the earlier evening hours it's pretty casual with nice dark jeans and a nice top/shirt. As evening gets later it's nice to dress up a bit more with a jacket for men. I wouldn't wear… Read more

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

My only suggestion would have been to over lower price point for smaller portions because there is so much more I wanted to try and even 3 small plates added up to $50. I went with elote shaved off the cob, half portion. This was good. A bit mushy and needed a dash of salt. The tuna fresco tostado was good. Loved the accompanying sauce. Would have loved for the tuna too taste a bit more raw. The house salad was a very generous portion. Added goat cheese which was very tasty! Great avocado and greens. Didn't love the dressing so asked for cilantro dressing anchovies was thicker than I would have liked. I actually would have enjoyed a dressing more like the one with the tostado. Very zesty. Our server Jocelyn was such a darling! Checks could only be split 3 ways so was a bit cumbersome at the end so checks were not initially printed. Id suggest checking on who's sharing what at the front end for billing purposes and providing printed checks as an option below asking for credit cards if guests have to share on their own. Otherwise great experience. Would have also loved a fresh grapefruit juice option from the bar.
