We came for a late Sunday lunch and ate out on the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather and birds. Our server, Miguel, was friendly, attentive and a bit of a comedian. The service was exceptional 5 star. The food came out super quick. Miguel checked on us several times. The menu is filled with traditional Mexican favorites. Prices are reasonable, especially the lunch specials. Complimentary chips are thin and fresh. The salsa is chunky and flavorful. I had the Beef Chimichanga lunch special. The Chimichanga was packed with ground beef. The guacamole and salad is really delicious. The fried beans were fresh! My husband had the Burrito Deluxe which he liked and also commented on the freshness, especially the salad. The dining room is colorful and inviting. There is a small bar. Overall, great experience. I'll be back.

Easter decor was out. Bar and patio seating are available as well. Alvaro was friendly and attentive. Complementary chips and salsa and beverages came out quickly. The salsas are delicious (especially the dark salsa) and the chips were fresh. The lunch menu offers about a dozen options for $13 a plate. The food was artistically plated. I had the Mole Enchiladas which came with refried beans and rice. The mole sauce was rich and perfectly spicy for me (a touch of heat). The enchilada was really tasty with tender chicken. The beans were fresh made. Hubs had the lunch portion beef Burrito Majado. The steak was delicious and the quac was super fresh. The restrooms are upscale and clean.

I was honestly very surprised by the amount of inedible beef fat in my birria tacos. But the patio is dog friendly and my pup was more than happy to wolf down the fatty parts for me. Service was incredibly slow and they don't seem to have sections for the patio. We waited and waited as we saw tables all around us being served, including two different tables that were seated well after we were. We finally had to go inside and ask for a server. I might give it one more try, but with all the other options in Carmel, eh, it's unlikely.

We started with the dip appetizer which was queso, bean dip, and guacamole. All of it was lacking flavor and the queso was not hot. The "bean dip" was just refried beans with queso in it. Very underwhelming. We got the fajitas for two to split and it was a lot of food! Since it was for two people, we each got our own plate of refried beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream, pico, and guac. Again, it was all just lacking flavor. If I was wanting Mexican food, this probably would not be my first option.

I enjoyed the prepared nachos, omelet, and fruit. I did not like that serving utensils could be used for different food. Lots of seating area. However, I did not think I would go back. The reward program was confusing and basically null. Another Sunday and somewhat in the area, I decided to try them again without a coupon because as I said, I love breakfast and Mexican food. Again, the brunch was just ok for $17.99. Taco meat smelled and tasted like taco meat. Scrambled egg was unseasoned which meant no unwelcomed salt. The fruit again was fruit. The best food on the brunch buffet were the seasoned potatoes with bell peppers. I ate my money worth. However, their quality needs improvement. I do not think I will return again.

The restaurant itself is well worn and in desperate need of a refresh. A lively atmosphere is absent here. I had the burrito deluxe. There is no "wow" to report here. The food just doesn't move the needle off average. I am sad to say if I compare this restaurant with the El Rodeo restaurant on Michigan Road, then El Rodeo wins. It's cleaner, fresher, and the food is tastier at around the same price. I always want restaurants to succeed, but La Hacienda needs to invest in upgrades to make their business better.
