HOLY SMOKES!! We are so happy to have been brought here for lunch! What an amazing experience!!!…read more Hacienda Casa Blanca made us feel welcomed like we were family. We were a large group so there were a few people rotating in and out to make our lunch special. The restaurant itself is beautiful. There is outdoor dining as well. Everything is well decorated and maintained. I would say very festive! There's live music on Sundays and Wednesdays. I would love to come back on a Wednesday for the Latin Jazz. The food was amazing! We felt like it was authentic and reasonable price point. For the table, they brought out lots of chips and salsa. It was nice and crispy and flavorful. Not spicy, though. I had ordered the Hacienda Carne Asada. It was a flamed broil skirt steak with a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and guacamole. The beans came inside a fried tortilla bowl. OH MY! It was so good. I am embarrassed to say, I kept on eating and talking even though I was full. Overall, we had a great time! The food was delicious. The service was amazing. Ample parking. The price point was reasonable in this economy. You get plenty of food. Clean bathrooms. Look at their website for live entertainment schedule! I cannot wait to come back soon!

We got some fried wontons and the popo platter. Very dark and not the best place to watch sports (they can't turn the TV volume up when the jukebox is running, and even after it's quite low), but great music selection and apparently the karaoke nights are fun! Not a lot of young folks come around, but the older folks are really funny and friendly. Pop in if you just wanna chill and hang out with some friends, or meet new people! Bathrooms are a bit of a concern for me, though. They're clean, but the doors are quite low (someone could watch me do my business lol). Not sure if this is a normal thing for dive bars (I don't go to many), but it did make me uncomfortable.

Bad customer service which was made slightly better by the waitress. Food was mediocre. The inside was beautiful. Overall, disappointed and won't be back. Pros: * Fajitas were good * Waitness was nice * Restaurant was clean Cons: * Made a reservation with a person on the phone. Arrived and the restaurant was closed. They didn't open for another hour. Why would they book us when they were closed. Also, why didn't anyone call us to reschedule? * Tamale had no meat. When we told the witness thinking it was a one off mistake she informed us that is how they are made. If you knew then why didn't you tell us before hand * The rest if the food was mediocre * The comp Birthday cake pops were gross. The chocolate shells was so think it was inedible. Extra: * Get Drunk. Literally, that would be the only way to enjoy it.

Served with ketchup. I had the tuna croissant with fries. They slightly coat their fries that gives them a little crispiness to it. Others ordered the Philly cheesesteak, Reuben, Cobb salad, Classic golf burger with fries, etc. all thumbs up and most finished or brought home leftovers -- it was a lot of salad. The Garlic bread is moist and they use French bread. Prices are reasonable and no tax! Federal property does that. It seemed like there was only the one server and he cheerfully took our orders and made separate checks. He was awesome! It was a hot San Diego day, so it was less crowded for lunch than expected. It made for good conversation. There is outdoor somewhat shaded seating but we were indoors next to an unlit fireplace. It is a nice drive along the side of the golf course going there.

I found their prime rib to be some of the best seasoned and cooked prime rib I've ever had. The other seafood I thought was really good. was their fried shrimp , crab cakes and crab legs. They don't have the best dessert, but who cares because who has room for dessert after all the lobster you just ate . Our server was really sweet, and I enjoyed talking to her . The only reason why I didn't give the restaurant a five star review is because there were some flies landing on our table that was kind of gross . That took away from the experience but everything else was five star . I highly recommend eating here.
