Reviews of La Hacienda (Restaurant)

RUDI MOORE

Not a fan. Ive tried 20 times to like it and its just not good. Service is horrible. Food is mediocre, but drinks are strong. Always disappointed.

Antonio Rocha

Came to la hacienda after the lantern parade around 10PM. It wasn’t busy. We ordered some quesadillas. They were not the best. It looked like they threw some chicken inside a tortilla and called it a day. Not sure what that says about the rest of the entrees on the menu but I wouldn’t return too quickly.

Robyn Siani

Great tamales and a very hospitable staff. My mother used La Hacienda to cater a party and the person handling her order gave her extra beans, rice, chips and salsa. My husband and I love this place.

Jamie Woodruff

Super delicious! One of the best meals I had while visiting Atlanta! There’s also a super convenient parking lot in back. I had the lunch fish tacos and they were absolutely amazing. House marg was on point & the service was really fast!

Nicole Robinson

This place has great food! The best hard shell tacos of all time in midtown and possibly in Atlanta in general. The customer service is pretty good (only in the evening for dinner time) and the prices are cheap. Specific days have deals. For example, Tuesday’s has tacos for $1.50 each. We typically sit outside which is right on the street of Monroe and the noise level can be high at times but it definitely gives that city feel. There is also mandatory valet parking for the lot which is tip only.

8 people and $9.00 gratuity added to each check!! Cold queso, ran out of tortillas....never again

Dino Sims

Love this place. Best Mex food in the ATL.

Shayla Isler

I pass by this place all of the time and never noticed it was there, but after searching online for Mexican restaurants near Ponce I found it, so decided to try it. Great food, great drinks (potent

Nancy Aguilar

Great food. Coffee was not that good, but the Michelados....., hubby and daughter thought they were the BEST!!

Susan Finn

Service was very good and food was served promptly. But...we had enchiladas verdes and carne asada but there was virtually no taste. We have eaten here before and enjoyed it last night was definitely an “off” night. Will think twice before returning.

Peg Munro

We have been here a few times. Always dependable and tasty food. Never had a bad dish. Good atmosphere and good drinks. Nice wait staff.

Tanesha

Wait staff was excellent.

Stephie Reis

One of the better Mexican restaurants I've been to. Great food, great service. It lost one star because the seating is all open and kind of cramped when it is busy, and because my boyfriend didn't like the chicken and beef fillings for the enchiladas he ordered. He said they were really under-seasoned. We've been back twice since then though. The cheese enchiladas were yummy and I've been getting their burrito bowls. The veggie, shrimp, and carnitas burrito bowls were each fantastic.

David Anthony Rice

I was very dissatisfied with the service and the food was cold

Manny Mancia

Chips and salsa we're good but I only came for drinks after a long day at work. Margaritas are $9+, taste well but mildly alcoholic.

Michelle Segers

The food was so delicious and the service was also great! I got the coconut mojito and it did not disappoint!

KK

Such good food! One of the very few Mexican places in Atlanta that gives free chips and salsa. Great tacos

Alexandria Thomas

Delicious food. Can’t believe I’d been in Atlanta 4+ years and only just tried this place.

Taylor Stauffer

My friend and I went here for the first time a few days ago. Absolutely amazing! The food was so great and the margaritas were perfect.

riaann mccants

The staff was nice. I got a bacon wrapped burrito. That was pretty good.

Cruz pineda

I like the steak fajitas. The draft beer was cold and on point. The salsa was banging. I just didn't like they gave me my order to go. The bartender didn't listen to me well. Other than that. I am into it.

maria M Kostecki

Very good food and friendly waitress.

Gar HayDen

Good food, fun atmosphere. Service is hit or miss, depending on how busy they are or language barrier. But they gladly make it right if required. Small bar, but large outdoor seating and upstairs seating, mostly uncovered. Kid friendly.

John Critz

Good neighborhood Mexican joint and slightly more upscale than El Ponce.

Kayla Williamson

Really great food! Reasonably priced. You get a lot of food. Service was excellent. We went an hour before closing on a Friday night and our chips and glasses stayed refilled.

Terron Phillips

Pretty hearty portions of decent food. But the service was WAY below par. We had to look for our waitress for everything from pepper to water.... My advice. Just go to FROGS

Edward Cole

A little pricier than I usually spend but the portion sizes of my shrimp ceviche and salad with chicken were surprising generous. The ceviche was delicious. We were a group of six and no one complained about their meal. I was disappointed that the salad dressing was in a packet and not made by staff. And service was on the slow side

Luciano Souza

Their ceviche is Amazing

lee miller

Ordered via Uber Eats and was impressed with the food. The tacos de pescado (fish tacos) was very good. The portions were HUGE. plenty of chips/salsa, beans and rice. I would definitely order from here again.

Amber Jacobs

Glassware was dirty and still had lip prints all over the rim of the glass. There were odd chunks in the salsa. We waited to have our order taken and no one ever did. As well as almost everything on the menue said no substitutions... so if you have a food allergy as I do you are left with little to no choices when they finally come to take your order. We paid for the coke and left.

Bob Bernhart

Great service upstairs. Had Ken's Special - really good. Appetizer was an old mion blak bean melted cheese thing that was fabulous. The Casadores margaritas were excellent

Steve Brown

I've become a Big Fan after my second visit. Great food and prices

Jonathan Thomas

Ask for Sharol. She's great!

R.S. Udell

The food here is just delicious, and the staff delivers excellent service!

Kevin Sylvain

Sadly, misleading and poor service. I read the reviews and hoped for the service and greatness that has been proclaimed. It took 10 minutes before we were approached for drinks, never asked if we wanted water and we watched our server walk by for another 20 minutes until we flagged her for just drinks. Followed by a false advertisement for $5.99 Margaritas as the server said they were $7.99. After showing her the website, she agreed to the price but charged $10.99 for a Skinny Margarita, saying because the limes were expensive and organic the fee increased. No shame here, we wont be back and never had a chance to even try the food. #dontbefooled.

Aliyah Bautista

Great service and good food!!

Rafael Arboleda

Great food Great service

Andrew Pencek

Standard Mexican food. A little overpriced. But we got it less than 5 minutes after ordering.

Connor N

This place was great. Amazing food and quick/friendly service. I got this steak burrito which was heaven, very unique because it was wrapped in flour/bacon and friend to perfection.

Jessica Foster

We were visiting from out of town and got a craving for Mexican food. We ended up here. The service was fine. The food was very good. The only thing we didn't like was valet- only parking. There was parking available nearby on the street I …

Carmen Gonzalez

Awesome service. Outstanding food. Great server. Ask for Gabriel! He's always on top of customer service satisfaction .

Josh Hamburg

Best Mexican in Midtown! Great food and staff. The homemade salsa is fresh and flavorful. They also have a roasted chipotle salsa that’s pretty good too. The rooftop patio is a nice escape in the city. They valet on weekend, which is nice— the parking lot is small so they need to park neatly to accommodate.

Ally Berry

First time visiting and the food is so bomb ! My mom and I got a pitcher of the Hacienda Margarita and it’s a great strong drink and I got the pineapple entree with shrimp and fish I can’t remember the orginal name, but it was delicious. Service is great

ivan castro

Is a awesome restaurant and the service is great

Joan Dewitt

Excellent food and excellent service.

Maya King

Great Service! Friendly staff! Excellent Food!

Daddy Kub

Was able to accommodate 11 last minute (at 5pm) and the food was absolutely delicious.

Flose Boursiquot

Wow! My husband and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND La Hacienda. Great, timely service. Lots of fresh chips with a delicious red sauce pairing (for free), and we had the tofu and mushroom tacos — the most delicious veggie options we’ve tasted anywhere. I’m not a fan of tofu & I found the tofu taco so satisfying because it was well spiced and grilled.

Deamber Clopton

Really good burrito, love the atmosphere, limited parking however. The margarita was tasty and the service was great. Will definitely be returning and recommending!!!

Jackie Luna

Food was great, loved the environment, staff service sucked, didnt like paying valet.

brenda lira

Too expensive. Food not so good..

WLASHAUN JONES

Music WAY too loud. We couldn't hardly hear each other during conversation.

Crystal Norwood

They have the best margaritas!

Josh Levesque

I have been here twice and both times the food did not disappoint. I am from Columbia S.C and this puts our Mexican restaurants to shame. By far the best Mexican I have had outside of S.C.

Marci Jones

Love the atmosphere and food

Tracina Green

The food was just okay, I've had better.

Robert Sattelberg

Excellent small and authentic Mexican Restaurant. Very attentive staff and great food. A new favorite.

Jocelyn Paez

Great drink selection and the food is great too! I love the nachos and the chorizo queso! I think in the evenings on weekends the rooftop patio is opened as well!

Jim McKinney

Nice location and nice people. The food was quite uninspiring, cooked with all the panache of your typical 23 year old bachelor. And for the prices charged, this was rather unfortunate.

debra thibodeaux

Great service! And food

Alex Rodriguez

Very nice staff! Food is really good! The only thing I didn't really like was that the staff sometimes is yelling in the kitchen and u can hear everything....

Joe Cox

Great Mexican spot. Great food. Very friendly staff. Guacamole is amazing. Street patio is great. After 5pm you can sit on the rooftop (which is amazing).

Dinah Janae

Second time visiting and food is on point!!!! Absolutely love this place!!

mauricio martinez

Salty and horrible mexican food.

Rob Montgomery

Fantastic Mexican, highly recommend the enchiladas

Mike Terry

Service was great, food was delicious and the margarita was perfect. Great experience

Antonio Espinoza

I ordered a quesadilla and it a joke. Barely had cheese. Food is expensive and the portions are small compared to other Mexican restaurants. Service is also bad

Keith Hunt

Great local spot.. great food and prices

Sungeun An

Food was great. I had the best shrimp tacos, and guac was really fresh and delicious. The inside decorations and music created authentic latino vibes :)

Jamie Drooger

The Bacon wrapped burrito was amazing! Queso dip was great too. I'd go here pretty often if I lived in Atlanta

Eric Lang

What a wonderful surprise for lunch. Fits that spot just above the neighborhood night with the kids and the high end cuisine. Everyone at the table had the lunchtime chimichanga ... I WILL be back again!

Mark H

I stopped by for the first time on Sunday afternoon for a good Margarita. What I got was a great Margarita and experience. It wasn't super busy being in between meal times but the servers all had smiles on their faces and seemed to be attentive from my point of view. I sat at the bar and was treated to some of the smoothest Skinny Margaritas EVER. Max was excellent at making them, so nice and provided wonderful service. He made me feel welcomed as a new customer. He listened to me talk which I probably did a lot. lol Which is what you want in a bartender good drinks and a good ear! I look forward to going back and taking others with me. On my way out I spoke to a very friendly woman that I believe was the owner. I didn't have any food since I had plans later but look forward to trying it out. I usually don't write reviews but this was such a nice surprise. I have been searching for a new Mexican Restaurant to go to as my favorite recently closed. I may have found it.

Dee Faulkner

The food was average American "Mexican" food. The place is pet friendly and there are no standards for the animals. A couple with a dog that was shedding excessively sat next to us. Hair was flying in our food and sticking to our glasses. It was DISGUSTING and more like a doggy daycare. The pets aren't service pets.

BAM Graphic Renderings

I take my clients here in Atlanta to this place all the time. Wonderful interior design and food.

Susan Sendelbach

Great service and amazing flan. It is busy and noisy and hard to find as there is little outside lighting, but good food and energy.

Karlos Burrell

It was good, a bit pricey

Carlos Rodriguez

8 had the steak fajitas. Big food portion, but could be better.

Lorrainne Braft

I guess you should go here if you enjoy CROSS CONTAMINATION. I ordered a SHRIMP quesadilla.......... ate most of it..... in the last bite, found a long, skinny piece of dark brown STEAK! as a PESCATARIAN I am still disgusted just by the thought that I could have eaten some beef by accident! I wish I had opened the thing up and inspected it before even eating at all...... never going again, no thank you.

Xian Miller

Great patio on the second floor. Margaritas are top notch. Servers were attentive and polite.

Chester Drake

Pretty good food for reasonable prices. Friendly staff

Brent Daily

The service here is always good. The food is great. Get the guac that's made at your table, it's great. The parking situation is a little strange, it's valet in a very small lot.

Jack Sparkman

Typical americanized Tex-Mex. Most of the entrees are flavorless, except unequivocally the bacon wrapped burrito. Free chips and salsa is a plus, but don’t waste your time getting the table made guacamole. Very crowded on a Friday/Saturday night, definitely a younger crowd. More people were buying watered down margaritas than the overpriced food.

Otha Greer

Love this quaint, neighborhood place. The food is consistently good and the servers are absolutely wonderful. The only thing I do not like is last night the place was overrun with dogs! Uggg!!! Personally I go out to eat to enjoy my evening and I not wish to eat around dogs!

Iris Hernandez

I wish I could say it was great, but every time we go, the wait to get our order taken or our meal is well over 30 to 60 minutes. Also, some dishes we ordered we spicy even though it was not listed as spicy on the menu, so make sure you ask if your dish is spicy before ordering. Good ambiance and drinks.

Lashawn Byfield

Sooo we are regulars at this spot. I am guessing the caucasian women is the manager. She is rude and always looks mean as hell. We literallyorser the same thing everytime but she insist that we said something else. Just get our order right please. This is not a debate and look a little more friendly please. Fix your face. Everyone else is and has always been very pleasant.

Beautifull Ase Nefer

Food is subpar but space is cute !! Wait staff was not very attentive for a Friday afternoon.

Matthew Myers

Okay, so maybe we made a mistake going in just 10 minutes after they open. However inattentive service and cold food, indifference from the receptionist hostess when we ask to see a manager or cook we decided to leave. Trying our luck at another Restaurant now.

Chandler

Worst service I’ve ever had. Not vegetarian friendly as they do not know how to cook tofu at all. Don’t go unless you don’t mind being ignored the entire time and have to chase down people to get every single thing.
