What's the deal about eggs ???…read more La Hacienda is a down to earth, unassuming and friendly place where truckers, traveling nurses, and all kinds of people come together over genuinely excellent, shamelessly affordable Mexican food. Starved .... I showed up at 11:15 AM craving Huevos Rancheros and found out they'd cut off breakfast at 11 AM. I get that restaurants have systems, but La Hacienda is in the perfect position to serve breakfast ALL day. Shift workers need breakfast all day. Truckers eat at weird times and also need breakfast all day. Nurses finishing graveyard shifts still need breakfast all day. The food quality and value here are genuinely unbeatable, which makes this so frustrating. So what's the deal with the arbitrary cutoff???? Why can't eggs be served all day? I've never understood this.

The service here was lightning fast, but they definitely didn't shortcut the flavor. The rice and…read morebeans were perfectly seasoned, and both the steak fajitas and the roasted poblano were standout dishes. It's a peaceful atmosphere to sit back and enjoy a great meal, with plenty of bold, tasty options right at your fingertips for those who love authentic flavor.

Legit authentic Mexican food. We got chips and salsa right away when we sat down. They were just…read moreokay, which is usually a bad sign. I ordered a pork stuffed poblano pepper. This was a very large pepper and I am certain they could not have stuffed one more chunk of pork in. I am a big fan of Chile rellenos but this took it to another level. The beans and rice were fresh and made in house daily. The beans were good and the rice was fluffy. I was trying to order a hot sauce found in most Mexican restaurants but could not remember the name. The server suggested i try the homemade green hot sauce. This was excellent, if you like hot sauce be sure to try it. We finished the meal with a cheesecake chimichanga. This is a fun idea but I recommend sharing. The paint and decor was the bright colors often found in a Hispanic places. Very lively. Everything was perfect.

After seeing positive reviews on Yelp, my wife and I decided to try this place out. We typically go…read moreto La Hacienda for our Mexican food fix but opted to try something different for lunch. This place is quite small/cramped. We placed our order then found a high table for two. We both like carnitas so I ordered the Carnitas Burrito and my wife tried their Carnitas Quesadillas. Our observations: 1. This place does NOT provide complimentary chips and salsa. What?!!! 2. Carnitas flavor was lacking in our opinion. We liked the seared tortillas but were underwhelmed by the flavor 3. Service was friendly and food came out fast enough 4. We didn't think the value was there. 5. Ample parking in front. All in all, our experience fell short of high expectations. We'll be sticking with La Hacienda. Lunch for 2 (just water to drink) came out to just under $35 with tip.

We will definitely make it back if we are ever in the area again. Highly recommended!

Food presentation is pretty nice , well above the normal but way under high end restaurants . From the amazing fresh flavorful salsa to the main meal everything is bursting with flavor .
