We went here for dinner last night and ordered the steak fajitas and the pastor tacos dinner. Both enteees came with complimentary chips and salsa and soup. The chips were warm and fresh. The hot salsa was really good and the mild as well. I really enjoyed the soup with my entree. The broth was flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The service was prompt and friendly. The steak fajitas were fantastic! The pastor tacos were more on the American side and sweet. I would stick with the steak fajitas. The prices are decent and the portion size is fair. The refried beans were just okay and the rice too. This is not authentic Mexican food. It was just alright.

We love coming here especially for drinks. Their margaritas are decently priced and worth every penny. This is basically our go to restaurant when we are craving for some authentic Mexican food. You have to try their rice pudding for dessert as it's phenomenal! We ended up ordering another one as one just couldn't do it for us ;) If you're vegetarian then fear not, there are plenty of options so you won't be disappointed. Plenty of parking options adjacent to the restaurant.

Enchiladas Poblanas

I have lived in the Wood dale area now for a couple years and always drove by this restaurant always wanted to try it out.. well my wife and I wanted to get out and grab some dinner snd this place came to mind. First let me tell you we wanted to sit outside and had seen they had a nice mini patio in front of the restaurant. But to our suprise while parking we see that they converted half thrir parking lot in back to a tented seating area. As soon as we got out of my car we we escorted to the outside tent no option to sit in the front area. First i want to say all thr staff was super nice our server was super nice. But here is why the 3 stars. The food was not that great and pretty expensive. Started with chips and salsa.. the chips tasted old and not very good... ordered a horchata to drink was pretty good I ordered for apps the beef Empanadas and cheese Quesadillas both were around 12 bucks each The Empanadas were slightly burnt with no real flavor.. my wife liked the Quesadillas My main dish was enchiladas in dark mole and wife had burrito.. again nothing great and side rice was old and hard. So to some it up $60 dollars before tip was not worth it.. but they stay open till 10pm and super nice so I may return just for that.

The ultimate margarita

Ok, I was hungry for Mexican food. A SoCal transplant to Chicagoland, I gotta say I was missin' it…read more So, as hub-hub was out of town on family business, I headed over on a windy Saturday night for some grub! I was greeted immediately and enjoyed the ambience. A bit old, but still nice. It even looked like they had an windowed view spot where we could see....what... the tortillas, maybe, being made? A good sign. I was sat in a very lonely spot, at the far backside of the restaurant on the only 2-person table I saw. Oh, wonderful. It appeared the table hadn't been completely wiped clean, so I asked a busboy to wipe it down - he very promptly complied- nice. Ok- as the menus came, so did the tortilla chips and homemade salsa- wow. The chips were THICK and the sauce was really good- albeit a bit spicy (not a crime!). The waitress came over, introduced herself, and I promptly ordered their special drink- the "Mexican Mai-Tai". Gotta say it was good! I ordered off their special menu- enchiladas tomatillo with pollo (chicken). I swear, less than 2 minutes later came a small bowl of soup (not expected, but ok) - then less than 5 minutes after ordering the main? Came the main! The beans and rice were nice; it came with a bit of shredded lettuce- and the 3 enchiladas were not bad. At all. Definitely satisfied my craving for Mexican food! Why the demerits? The holy grail of any restaurant is always the service. Once I completed the mains, the busboy quickly took the dishes off the table. And then I waited. And waited. I flagged down a busboy and asked for my check- he said he'd flag down my waitress. And then I waited. After 15 minutes, I bagged it. I put on my jacket and went to the host desk and complained. Though I was able to pay at the front desk, why did I have to wait? What was so important on a not-so-busy Saturday night that meant I had to wait for my bill? Just awful, La Hacienda. I don't mind waiting a few minutes (most restaurants have this awful habit of making diners wait too long for their bills anyway, right?). But 15 minutes? And even after I pointed this out I still waited to no avail? No diner should ever be asked to wait until they "got around to it". Would I come again? Naw. Sorry, but even though the early part of the meal was great and I was speed-served the food? The finish killed it for me.
