I really liked this restaurant, good Mexican food! Chips and salsa were good. Ordered the queso fundido and it was a big surprise. Other places I've had that the dish is probably 10% chorizo and 90% white cheese sauce, and here it was the other way around and cost less than $8! The entrees were ok. I enjoyed my burrito. My wife got cheese enchiladas which were ok but didn't care for the rice. Service was fine. Got our drinks refilled without asking and one dish was not made right and it was quickly fixed. Ambience was awesome. If you like day of the dead decor you will LOVE this place! It's also big with a decent bar so I bet it's hopping at nights on the weekend. Will go here again! read more

The food came out quick and was very hot! Service was good but lacked at times. However, extremely good and have been here multiple times in the past couple weeks. Would recommend! read more

There are a lot of local Mexican restaurants in Terre Haute to pick from, but I would highly recommend checking out Real Hacienda! I went to this Mexican restaurant a few times and always had a fantastic meal. The complimentary chips and salsa hit the spot. I also love the queso dip and the sizzling fajitas. There are plenty of seats inside and at the bar, but the highlight of this spot is the spacious and relaxing patio. Check out Real Hacienda next time you are in Terre Haute! read more

Food good, In the afternoon the servers are hateful and treat others with disrespect. Ordering out: orders will not come the way you want and when you call in and try to tell them order was wrong they will talk bad about you in Spanish to the other workers. Morning crew is good if you can get there before they change out there manager. I hope this help all you out there looking for a good place to eat or order out. Have good eats. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. Got 2 quesadillas, one with chicken one with steak. Took less than 10 mins for the food to come. Super generous amounts of meats. A bit saltier and a bit less cheese than how I like them, but delicious!!! read more

Basic Tex- Mex except not in Texas! I keep my expectations within reason when I visit TexMex outside of my home state. I'd say they did a good job! The tables and chairs are authentic Mexican so that was a nice touch. Outside of that, it reminded me more of a diner. The food was decent. Their hottest salsa is not hot at all. Again, I'm from Texas so that's a high bar. Everyone enjoyed their food but nothing spectacular to note here. Sorry. I wasn't disappointed- just not blown away. read more

Went here every week with friends for years. Best shrimp tacos I've ever had and you can't beat their price of 3 for 11.99 (most charge extra on seafood). I compare every other mexican place to here Great casual vibes and the servers are good and friendly. read more

This ambiance is insanely gorgeous. You almost forget where you are when you walk in the building. From top to bottom, front of house to the stunning floor-to-ceiling bar in the back, this is a feast for the eyes. Inspired by Día de los Muertos, you feel like you're eating in an old-world city. Food is passable, though they're a bit heavy on the rice and beans and not as generous with the main entrees. Elote is tasty but salty. Average pricing, though the portions do seem a bit meager for the price. read more

Food was very normal. Salsa needed spiced up. No shredded pork or beef. Steak looked blackened. Going through town. Wouldn't pick it again. Very little service. Burrito was lukewarm. Woman's bathroom both toilets were stopped up. Ugh. That did me in. read more

A+, great margaritas, beautiful environment. attentive staff! If you are looking for a good time and great people, come here!

Ordered online , but order not complete when arrived at schedule pick up time had to wait additional 20 mins . Good take out packaging but not great menu items: carne asada, beans , rice, salad. Lesson learned . read more

Monday -Friday $2.99 margaritas was a huge surprise that I loved to see. We are from out of town and were looking for somewhere to eat. Glad we stumbled across this place the salsa is gas. Which is good hahaha read more

We ordered separate takeouts, both to be ready at same time. Called an hour ahead of time. Waited 20 minutes while our food got cold for them to finish second order. They claimed they messed up tacos on second order. It does not take 20 minutes to make tacos. I asked them to remake whole order as it was cold now. Magically she went to the back and came right back out. read more

Love this place more than ever. They have expanded their seating, have a nice bar, and the staff is very friendly. Reasonably priced, food is always hot, and flavorful. Good beers on draft and really good margaritas. read more

Service is terrible. All the Real Hacienda restaurants in Terre Haute are the same. Terrible service. If you're wait staff is not going to check on customers or refill their drinks or offer to-go boxes, at least give them the check when your bring the food so they can leave when they get done eating instead of being held hostage trying to find their waiters. Waitstaff has always been the unfriendliest bunch of people. The woman who brings the chips and salsa has had a stick up her bum for years. Food has no flavor to speak of. We only eat here as a sort of emergency if we've been busy all day in Terre Haute and need sustenance, but luckily that's only a few times a year. If there were better options in Terre Haute, we'd eat elsewhere. The food quality doesn't reflect their price increases. read more

Real Hacienda is your standard Mexican food with some good drink deals. The jumbo margaritas were pretty cheap. The Chile Verde was delicious, but I felt like they didn't give me enough tortillas to have all of the meat with a tortilla. Still, I really enjoyed my meal. read more

food: 4/5 The chips and salsa were alright. I ordered the Molcajete (a dish with grilled shrimp, steak, chicken, banana peppers, cactus, and sauce served in a hot mortar). It was quite tasty. service: 5/5 We were seated immediately. Our waiter was nice and semi-attentive. Food was brought out very quickly. asides: - ambience: Clean. Standard Americanized Mexican interior. Really nothing to note, here. - revisit: Yes. Cheap and good food. Way better service than Taco Tequila's. read more

Was one car in the parking lot but it was 2:30pm . Walked in and Immediately greeted / seated . Gauc was more like blended smoothie ( prefer fresh made and chunky ) . Wife's enchilada was perfect and my steak tacos were also excellent had to use a fork to eat half of it. Service was excellent and food was excellent. No complaints. read more

This place is super fast! The food is really good and the atmosphere is bright and happy.

Typical ambiance inside as we were seated quickly for lunch. The waitstaff was prompt and courteous. The menu is loaded and we enjoyed the chicken burrito bowl and the El Gobenador burrito. Highly recommended. read more

Came here for dinner around 6:30 PM on a Thursday. This place is pretty popular and good for large groups! Service was good and fast. I ordered the Reynaldo's burrito with strip steak, which comes with sauce on top and lettuce, sour cream, pico, and guacamole. I wasn't a huge fan my entree. The cheese and burrito sauce made the tortilla soggy and were overwhelming. I'd prefer if the sauce were on the side. The pico was great but there was barely any. The guacamole tasted a little watered down. I enjoyed the steak in the tortilla at least. Might come back and try something less cheesy in the menu. read more

Great place with wonderful food! One of the best salsas I have in awhile. Staff is friendly and on top of it.

Definitely a great restaurant! The food is always great and fresh! The meals are definitely worth the price! They don't make you a small plate lol. My favorite meal is the beef chimichanga... the cheese sauce drizzled on top but the Burrito Alacran is HUGE! About the size of my forearm, elbow to wrist LOL. HAPPY EATING!! read more

the service was TERRIBLE. we got sat and were waiting on a third person to arrive. we wanted to order some queso and more drinks while we waited. no one came and checked on us and we couldn't get anyone to pay attention to us. at this time the crowd had died down so they weren't very busy. once we finally got someone's attention 15 mins later he couldn't understand what we wanted which is fine language barrier but we were ordering queso and a water so. the restaurant itself isn't bad looking. pretty clean but kinda small. food was okay queso wasn't hot and was rubbery almost. took forever to get a refill on chips read more

This is hands down the best Mexican place in Terre Haute. I don't understand some of the bad reviews. I usually make it a point to have lunch here once every couple weeks. When I go any longer than 2 weeks without it, I start having withdraws. ITS THAT GOOD! They have come a long way since they first opened. You can tell they are doing well and get good business because they have done a lot of remodeling since they first opened. The parking lot is usually packed from 12-1pm on the weekdays. When you first sit down, warm chips and fresh salsa are brought to your table for you to enjoy while you look over the menu. My sister always gets a side of their cheese sauce. Its the BEST cheese sauce! I don't know where this white cheese comes from, but I really dont care. Its Delicious!! Their service is ridiculously fast and the meals are cheap! I get an hour lunch break and I always have 30 min left by the time im done eating to relax and chat with my lunch partner that day. Most meals are around $6-$7 and endless chips & salsa are sure to leave you satisfied no matter what kind of appetite you have for the day. For Lunch I would recommend the Chicken Chimichanga, Reynaldos Burrito (sp?), or any of the Quesadillas. Their rice is excellent so I usually try to find a meal that includes the rice or I add it on to my order. I know several people who order "cheesy rice" and its just a side of rice with the awesome cheese sauce poured over it. That is pretty tasty too. For dinner I would recommend the Armandos Brothers Pizza or Fajitas! These are not usually good lunch items because you will usually have leftovers and since I go straight back to work, I never have anywhere to put my leftovers. The Armandos Bros Pizza has chicken, steak, and shrimp along with onions and peppers and other deliciousness all squeezed between two tortillas. Its like a slice of heaven. There are several of these "Real Ha's" around town and they are all wonderful. I personally like this one best because of the cleanliness and service. read more

If you want to eat at a place that has tables that wobbles, booth seats that are torn, bathrooms that are filthy and the service is very slow, then this is the place for you. We entered and were the only customers in the place. We ordered and shortly after that another couple came in. The waiter seemed to know them and took their order. They received their food and were finished eating before we received our food which was warm, not hot. It seems that the waiter forgot about us and let our order set quite a while getting cool before bringing it to us. Couldn't complain to the manager because he wasn't there. read more

Well, this is very disappointing to me. I love this place, but, I believe my hubby got food poisoning from this place. After eating some of his Elcamino Reel fajitas at work Wed around 1130am, by 2pm he was sick. He has been sick now for 1 week! I called the restaurant tday to ask where they purchase their lettuce from because we all know there are recalls on a few different brands. well, guess i have to wait until monday! They get their produce on mondays. I will be calling back!! read more

This is a place that you HAVE to go to while in Terre Haute. I've been going to the restaurant on 3rd Street since it opened, and I was about 8-9. Now 20 and attending college out of town, this is a staple place to eat whenever I'm home. In fact, with Winter Break approaching, I'll probably be in a chair eating by Saturday. I know this is definitely TexMex, considering the Midwest definitely isn't known for holding spice, but trust me when I say that there are dishes for anyone here. I normally get the Enchiladas Locas, and every time I've had it it's tasted fantastic. The cheese dip also is to DIE FOR. Can't go without it! The interrior has definitely changed over time; I assure you it looks a lot different than it did ten years ago and is constantly getting upgrades. The best thing about these restaurants (there's 3 in Terre Haute; One is by the Mall on 3rd Street, another on Wabash, and then the other is on State Rd 46 by the Walmart) is the staff. I grew up with these guys (and now ladies). Ali, the manager on 3rd Street, is seriously one of the best people ever. He knows all of our names, remembers recent events with our family, and is so attentive, funny and kind. Plus the rest of the staff knows us, and they have brought us our meals without us having to order; that's how often we go there. They're so fun and you can tell they care about their jobs, and I do believe a majority of them have worked there since the place opened. Other standouts are Meme and Oswaldo, if you get them then you're in for exceptional service, and probably a laugh. They're all so great! Definitely check this place out, you won't regret it ;) read more

Wonderful staff and great food, we miss eating here. Rest assured as soon as the quarantine is lifted, we will return.

Don't let the outside appearance fool you, this place is AMAZING! Great atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. They have a typical menu that is fairly priced. It can get a little loud during lunch and dinner rush but they are always fast. The food is excellent. read more

Nice atmosphere, great food, great portions and amazing prices. I had the shrimp fajitas- amazing. My husband had the smothered chicken and steak fajitas ( see image)- and he could not finish it! read more

The service here is remarkably quick. 'Complimentary' chips and salsa are at your table within a couple of minutes of being seated. The chips and salsa seemed fresh and have tasted pretty good whenever I have come here. The waiters are generally polite and keep an eye out for anything you may need. Walking into this place actually makes you feel like you're in for a very authentic experience. The decor, the music, the Hispanic waiters and the fact that the TVs are tuned to ESPN Deportes all come together to add a unique Mexican touch. Unfortunately, the biggest let down is the food. The food is occasionally laden with grease and contains copious amounts of cheese and/or sauce that seems to have come directly out of a tin/bottle. With that being said, overall, the food is not terrible. I obviously gave this place four stars for a reason. I think that this is still the go to place for Mexican food in Terre Haute. The entrees here are only slightly above average at best. However, the feeling you have after you consume the food and all the other aforementioned unique touches make this the most authentic Mexican restaurant in Terre Haute. read more

great food, great people, slightly less than great ketchup selection (they don't have heinz). ¿como se dice "would recommend" en español?

Checked this place out while we were in town for a soccer tournament and if we ever go back to Terre Haute again we will def be going back!! Great food, good service, & the food was delicious! I would also recommend the bean Dip :) read more
