Too many coffees places are serving only lattes catering the masses. Haciendo can likely do that…read morewell, but I prefer sipping espresso and pour over. Their espresso is drinkable without milk and their pour over ethiopian really brought the berry flavors. I often look to Austin for a unique cup of coffee, but this place should be a go to for any coffee snobs in Williamson County. Only feedback I would have is to elevate the drink ware and reduce paper.

I had a work conference in Taylor last month and it was walking distance to Haciendo. I ended up going twice in one day, that's how much I enjoyed it. I've come here quite a few times. My favorite was on an extremely rainy day last year where I got to gaze out their windows and enjoy the atmosphere inside. This is the crown jewel of coffee in Taylor and is probably the best coffee shop in a 10 mile radius from my apartment. I'll be back! RIYL: Quaint places and quiet coffee shops

There's quite a bit of seating inside their main space, but also additional seating in the lobby of the attached building. I came with a large group after a morning run, and we made the one barista working put in work. He knocked all of our orders out though! I honestly really appreciate him being patient with all of us full of energy after our morning workout. I ordered a hot latte with their Miso Maple syrup and oat milk. It was fantastic and really well balanced. Their house-made miso maple syrup added a sweet and savory flavor profile to the well-crafted drink. Not only do they serve coffee, but they also offer fantastic pastries from Baked n' Sconed from Hutto and breakfast bites from Kerlaches, which I indulged in, their Sausage and Jalapeño Cheddar kolache, which smacked like nothing else. A huge link of sausage, which was much needed after the 4 miles I ran. Taylor is no stranger to good coffee shops, and this immediately became one of the best ones in town.

TLDR: Restaurant in an old high school band hall that delivers on nostalgic vibes but falls short…read moreon food. The fried green tomatoes are great here but for me, almost everything else was a disappointment. Not as kid-friendly as you'd expect. It pains me to leave such a low rating (and I rarely do) but this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a while. And it didn't have to be that way so hopefully my review can grab someone's attention. This place has so much potential because it's in such a cool location -- the band hall of an old high school (fun decor and cool nostalgic vibes). I had really high hopes for this restaurant but it let me down. Here's what went wrong. THE FOOD: First and foremost, the food was disappointing... except for their vegetable appetizers. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic. Nailed it in terms of texture and flavor. My husband and I were both surprised by how good they were. Their Brussels sprouts appetizer was really good as well. After that, it was all downhill. I had the Mom's Meatloaf with two sides: Cowboy Caviar and green beans. The meatloaf wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly a loaf -- it was like meatballs connected together? I didn't taste the bacon in the tomato sauce and the portion felt tiny -- same size as the sides. The sides were a real letdown. The green beans tasted like they came straight from a Jolly Green Giant can. The Cowboy Caviar (which I usually love) was so bland. It was like they just poured beans and corn and pepper and onion in and that's it. I didn't taste any seasoning. Cowboy Caviar needs to have that zing (many simple recipes use Italian salad dressing). Moving onto my husband's dish which was probably the worst part. His tomato soup tasted like marinara sauce but we were hoping the filet mignon would deliver. It was simply not good. It wasn't as tender as filet mignon needs to be -- it was chewy. It did seem to be cooked as requested (medium rare) but it didn't taste good and seemed flavorless -- almost as if the meat was poor quality. Now, I know that filet mignon is a much more mild tasting cut and less flavorful than a ribeye for instance, but still, something felt very off with this steak. Neither of us enjoyed it and that's a bummer (especially at that price point). KIDS: Usually restaurants like this one are more kid-friendly so I was a bit surprised. Our kids are 3.5YO and 2YO. They brought a booster for my youngest. It had no straps at all (which I'm not even complaining about because those straps are broken at literally every restaurant). We were in a booth so it worked okay mostly. What I'm unhappy about is the lack of coloring options and kids menus. We were not brought any crayons and coloring paper upon seating so we inquired. The waitress said she'd look and ended up coming back with crayons and some paper placemats to doodle on? I respect the ingenuity but I was confused. They have crayons on hand but they don't offer them to the kids? What's the deal with that? They didn't have a kids menu printed anywhere and the waitress just told us the offerings out loud. So is there an official kids menu or not? I'd like to be able to see the prices as well. Also a bit perplexing. We went ahead and ordered one grilled cheese for the kids to share and I'm glad because it was big but also not very good. The bread was too dense so it was more of a bread sandwich. My kids weren't that into it. Almost forgot -- the fries that came with the grilled cheese were actually very good (got to give credit where it's due). TIME: Our food took forever. It wasn't a fun wait -- the kids were getting super restless. The waitress stopped by a couple times to tell us that "our food is just around the corner." Even though it ended up being untrue -- I appreciate her checking in.

The first person I talked to was very friendly and understanding of my concern. Although, he had to transfer me to a specific department. The woman I talked with talked in circles around me and told me that there was nothing she could do since the delivery fee and driver's tip are included automatically in the final cost. I've never heard of that before, I've always been given the option at checkout to opt out if a delivery tip, or customize your tip. I spent $427 on groceries and they just decided to charge me 10% of my order. This poorly handled situation has led to me having to stuck with Walmart for my families future grocery delivery needs.
