    I love that there's a secret outdoor area with a kid's play section to entertain them. The food is pretty good.They do have decent brunch.I've been there at least 5+ times. Great to enjoy the weather in the moment with good company and a good margarita. I was with so I highly, do recommend this place. I need to go back for a visit. It's a quiet spot in the corner of a strip mall among other businesses. Glad I found this place. Server understand and pretty good each time with checking in and correct ordering. Definitely a go back spot. Hidden places typically are the best.

    Enchiladas Dinner

    I stopped by Nico's Covina about 30 minutes before closing, and I was impressed with how kindly I was treated. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and even gave me great recommendations since I was in the mood for something vegetarian. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with corn tortillas, along with beans and potatoes with onions--and everything was delicious. The chips and salsa were great as always, and the guacamole (while amazing in flavor) was a bit smaller in portion than I would have liked. That small detail aside, I always enjoy dining here. The food is consistently excellent, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. It's a spot I recommend often to friends, and I'll definitely continue coming back.

    Wow, this place is a total gem. Amazing authentic street tacos, great salsa AND a covered playground!!! The service was great, we sat on the patio and it was really nice and clean.

    Chicken chimichanga including onions & peppers inside with queso on the side was great. Loved the peach margarita with salt around the rim.

    Really good food and great environment. As parents, we loved the outdoor play area as well so our little one could play while we ate.

    Is there brunch buffet Sunday only or Saturday's as well? I see there's a $2 price difference from sat to Sunday reason I'm curious

    Hi Melissa, Thank you for your question. For now, we are offering a limited brunch buffet Sunday only. Price is 12.99.… 

    Do they have heaters out on the patio when the weather gets cooler?

    Do they sell good churros?

    Thank you for your question. We serve excellent churros.

The bathrooms weren't the nicest but also not the worst--one of the stall doors didn't lock, though they had added something to help with that. The inside is pretty nice, and our waiter came over shortly after we were seated. We ordered appetizers and drinks, and the appetizers arrived in about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best. Our server would leave for long periods and didn't check on us, even though she passed by our table multiple times and we clearly needed assistance. She also addressed us with very casual language like "yeah," which didn't feel very professional. That said, the food was excellent. Everything starting with the chips and salsa was great--the salsa was one of the best fresh salsas I've ever had. We also ordered the cheese quesadillas, and they were perfect in every way. My entrée was delicious as well; the cheese and meat were cooked perfectly, and the rice and beans were great. (I got the fajita Monterrey) Overall, the food was very tasty, but the service could definitely be more professional. Also, the menu is not very flexible--you can't substitute ingredients (like removing onions from the guacamole) or order off-menu items such as egg tacos, even though they have the ingredients. The food was good, but I'm not sure I loved the service.

    I have been a customer of La Hacienda Ranch for over 30 years, eating at the Frisco location before…read morethe mall was built and the only thing nearby was a small wooden church across the street. I have loved this restaurant for years, taken family and friends, celebrated anniversaries and birthdays, taken home salsa....etc. We usually order the Sundance Steak, which is no longer on the menu, but we've been eating for 30+ years and is still available on request. It is above the bar, excellent and has stayed that way all these years. We even had the little card for eating there and getting punches toward free food....I think it was money off or a free queso and chips, which is no longer offered. I stopped at the Preston Rd. location this week for lunch and was horribly disappointed. The lunch offerings were small and I ordered the green enchiladas. The menu said chicken, etc. Well, there was very little chicken, no cheese and when you cut into the enchilada, the corn tortilla fell open with nothing to hold it together. I've never had an enchilada with no cheese! I think there were maybe 4 small, flattened pieces of chicken in the entire enchilada. Lots of sauce, raw onions, small amount of tomato, but no chicken or cheese of any substance. It was not terrible, but certainly not the quality of food I have come to expect from La Hacienda Ranch over the years. Additionally, the service was not as expected. The waiter, Hugo, took my order and did not appear again until my meal was over. No checking on me, no asking if I liked it, needed anything, no offer for additional iced tea......I realize I was alone and not drinking alcohol, so no big tip, but to be totally ignored until the time of presenting the bill was also not something I was expecting. It was a little after normal lunch hour, so the place was not busy, so no excuse. This experience has made me question going back....which I never thought I'd do. This has always been one of my go-to, celebration or take new out-of-town people to restaurants for 30+ years. I'm now wondering if La Hacienda Ranch is reducing the quality of it's food for price cutting measures or whether I just hit a bad day. I don't normally do reviews unless I am thrilled or extremely disappointed, but since I was extremely disappointed this week, I am putting this out there.
