La Hacienda has superseded my expectations. It is a LGBT+ friendly restaurant and many of the staff sport a rainbow edition of their company shirt. The food is on point and I love all of the Frida Kahlo artwork among the walls. I have dined here twice and would go again when in the mood for Mexican cuisine!
I love going to Mexican restaurants, but this place has some really slow service and the drinks/ margaritas were not that great. (Which is what we went actually there for so)... Ill have to give them 1 more try some other time to see if anything changes. But for now, its just okay for what youre paying.
Great outdoor seating area! Really felt like a cozy, neighborhood spot. I had the Brocheta which was a great seafood meal - the beans were great, incorporating what I think was some kind of pork. My kid loved the queso dip.
We went in to grab a quick dinner on a Tuesday. We were seated and then sat for 10 mins as the waiters buzzed around the nearby tables. No water, no chips, no server. We left. No one even noticed. That’s it.
Service was pretty good inside everyone was spaced out pretty good. Waiter gave us our food and seats in a good short time frame and was nice and patient with us when we couldnt pronounce the names right. Food was good nothing really bad about it except steak was a little too red for me but I still ate good. (I had taco jalisco something like that) I also made a to-go order and everything was done right for that order and food was also good.
Food is amazing, staff is super friendly, and service is pretty fast. Staff is careful about following covid guidelines and the tables on the patio are well spaced to provide enough distance. The drinks are to die for. The horchata was legit bigger than my head!
I love Mexican food and this place definitely was a disappointment! Took us 10 mins to get acknowledged and to get beverages. They were out of every beverage I tried to order (sweet tea, coke, and sprite), and ultimately I settled for a Mr. Pib, my least favorite drink. Food came out quickly, but was not seasoned at all. Black beans were bland and the steak was fatty with no flavor-thank God for the pepper and onions which helped but still didntdo the steak any justice. This was my first and LAST time coming to this establishment. La Parilla is still #1 in my books!
I had the tacos Al pastor. They were amazing. Our waiter was great as well. If I lived in Atlanta, this place would be high in my rotation.
Their enchiladas were alright- chicken was a bit dry. Service was decent. Place is clean. Waited for a long while to get my food served since there was a mix up in the kitchen.
Food tasted great. I was surprised at how all the servers were friendly. I will say the outside eating area is quite loud with all the traffic.
Just ok food... The salsa was good.... Dessert was awful.... I had the fried ice cream. And they forgot to give me my extra order of salsa that I ordered.
Ive only ever ordered delivery from here...but I swear it gets better every time! The portions are generous and the food is delicious !!
Delicious! I love Mexican food and I’ve probably gone to nearly every Mexican joint in the ITP of Atlanta and La Hacienda holds up! My al pastor tacos were great. The pork was tender and flavorful. The onions and cilantro tasted fresh. The corn tortillas (in my opinion the most important component of a good taco) were just the right flavor and texture. These tacos were as good as the hole in the wall places you get on Buford. Service was excellent and it was a great option before seeing a movie across the street at Landmark.
Great Mexican food - the staff is super friendly and very caring! We really enjoy it
Love Mexican food this time was looking for a new place so I decided go to La Hacienda nice decoration, hacienda style, nice environment; took a little time to be seated, main floor was completely full I went upstairs, looks different but nice. I ordered Molcajete camarón , is a big portion , very heavy to eat, the shrimp came roll in bacon on top of potatoes , cheese and a ton of oil, I couldnt finished to grease, the presentation is very artistic, traditional Mexican cuisine, came , with salad, beans and flavor tortillas, the chips and salsa excellent, for dessert I had flan it was ok, I think the Molcajete camarón is overpriced
Food was great. Didnt really care for the drinks but I highly recommend this spot. Ill come back very soon.
Best in Midtown! I recommend this place to everyone that comes to the Atlanta area. The Burrito Molcajete is TOP TIER. The service is great and friendly. The serving sizes are huge for such a great price! This spot has something for everyone
Restaurant is overpriced to begin with, and then charges credit card fees, service charges and auto gratuities on every check. This is is blatant greed and theft by the restaurant. I asked for money to be returned it has not yet been returned. Spend your money in establishments that actually appreciate your business not ones that look to rip you off. Very disappointed. As part of the midtown family you should be ashamed. DO BETTER! Gabe was not a great manager on duty fyi.
Great food, great ambiance, great people best Mexican food in the midtown area 100% recomend it. The salsa is made fresh everyday and owner is a kind hard working woman. Check out there Instagram for all the menus pictures
Food is very good as well as the service. Will definitely go again
The food was a little salty. But the service was lacking. They are too short staffed. Please hire more people
Excellent food and great service. If you enjoy fine Mexican quisene, seek out LA Hacienda for your next dining experience.
Large portionnnnn. Love it! And the service is so good. Better than most Mexican places weve been to.
Stopped in at the 10:25 pm on Saturday night to pick up an order of chips/salsa for take out. Left empty handed however because the ‘kitchen was closed’.Who has ever heard of a mexican restaurant ( or any place ) where a kitchen/ chef is required to fill an older for chips/salsa.
Great place to have a few drinks outdoors. Service was excellent and friendly. Highly recommended
Great atmosphere very pretty inside food was great and drinks where awesome the waiter was very pleasant and helpful
Such a horrible mole and sour beans with dry rice.. Staff see you at the door and don’t greet you.
The salsa is definitely a highlight - very bright flavor. The queso was pretty standard, and the service was good. The entrees were a little underwhelming, though.
Large portions, good preparations. Went for Mother’s Day lunch, complimentary valet parking.
This is a no frills, casual, good Mexican restaurant. I love getting the. ‘Bowls’ and the queso is great.
Good food, great drinks..
Beautiful little spot off of midtown. Love their wall art! Amazing service!!
I floated several Mexican restaurants for a bachelorette dinner of 15 people. We wanted to reserve an outside table due to covid. This was the only restaurant that would allow us to reserve an outside table, and it was even on a SUPER cute rooftop patio. The atmosphere was really cool. Every time I called, the employee on the phone was extremely friendly and helpful. Great food and service during the dinner, and the pitchers of margaritas were incredible. Couldn’t recommend more!!
Staff was friendly, attent8ve, professional and the food was absolutely delicious. Cant wait to go again.
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.
Delicious drinks and the food was phenomenal. Service was excellent.
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 :)
The food was as fantastic as the service. Very lively and fun atmosphere.
Me and my bf dine here all the time, always so delicious and very nice staff!
Always great food and service. One of my favorites in the neighborhood.
Great spot in Midtown. Great service with Latino staff. Very authentic feeling!
Solid TexMex with a very friendly staff. We eat or takeout from there at least once every other week. Glad they are in the neighborhood.
Really good burrito, love the atmosphere, limited parking however. The margarita was tasty and the service was great. Will definitely be returning and recommending!!!
First time going. Enjoyed the food and drinks. I will be going back.
I consider myself a connoisseur of the Michelada and this place has THE BEST! The food is awesome too - we eat here at least once a month. My wife and I always split the Queso Fundido Texano - a huge cast iron skillet of chorizo, shrimp, steak, chicken, and veggies, cooked in beer and smothered with cheese. Prepared tableside and served with tortillas and garnishes. Always great service.
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.
Delicious tapas, and paella superb. Many wine varieties. Decoration not so good.
I went twice!!!! Loved the food and the staff work hard to give us a great dining experience.
Great service and Mexican food. The ambiance was also great.
Excellent Jalisco Tacos & Chili Colorado! Good fajita burrito. The guacamole appetizer was a large portion, but I would rather have a smaller portion for less money- way too much for 2 people. The guacamole side didn’t have the same made from scratch quality flavor, so we skip it. The chorizo queso is good.The bacon wrapped burrito is a novelty, but skippable. The charro beans are exceedingly average and look like they have hot dog meat in them.
Authentic Mexican food!! Great people very friendly!! Highly recommended
Fantastic food and such great service!
Awful experienceGot hard shell tacos and when I lifted the taco up there was 1 and 1/2 sides of a taco?????
My food came out 10 min after the ppl I was with, only to be incorrect. They apologized but I didnt eat it. I was very disappointed. 😔
Whenever Im in town, I make it my business to visit this place. The service is always great and the menudo takes away that hangover nausea feeling for me.
Great food that is reasonably priced and our server was the best!
Delicious, generous portions. Attentive service. I would recommend.
Food was good. Super friendly and accommodating staff! Would definitely go again!
Was in ATL for the weekend and came across this place. I can say it is one of the best restaurants I’ve EVER eaten at. It was so delicious and the margaritas were amazing. Our waitress was kind and very attentive as well. I got the 3 chicken tacos and they were amazing!! So juicy and flavorful. Will definitely be back if I ever find myself back in ATL.
Had a great Chimichanga here - excellent vibes inside and out.
Delicious food and the servers were extremely nice. Different levels of management stopped by to ask us how we were doing... I had the Carne asada Tacos and I will be going back!
I gave it 4 stars because I think this is a really chill spot and the location is very good. My husband and I went there last night and got a table outside and we both enjoyed it. Now the food is good but I ordered a burrito with steak in it but I said I wanted chicken and when I saw it was steak I was like ok I will keep it but the steak was so tuff I literally couldnt chew it I had to send it back but hey at least it was flavorful and this right here is the reason for not getting the extra star because I know about eating a good burrito. Oh they made me a fresh new plate with a chicken burrito with no problem I was pleased with that but they only gave me 5 pieces of chicken😂 and a ton of mushrooms so 4 stars for me
The parking is tight..but the food and ambience is just right! Gracias!
They food was great, great atmosphere, but the server I had, never checked in on me during the entire visit. He stayed at the bar talking with friends.
The margaritas are refreshing and the chips and salsa are fresh. Wide selection of choices, from tacos and burritos to fresh grilled meat and seafood. The quality of the food is great and the portions are ample.
The food was so delicious! The to go margarita was great too. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I had take out during this quarantine time we are currently experiencing, and I dont want to give it a complete rating until I eat inside.
Great place for authentic Mexican food
Huge menu with many options. I decided to go with something standard for my first visit, so I got steak fajitas. My wife got enchiladas and a tamale. Out of all that food, the best thing we got was the complimentary chips and salsa... Everything else was just not good, especially for the price. The service matched the food quality... just bad. Had to flag down the server any time that we needed anything including drink refills and the check. If you cant find the servers, check one of the tables or the bar where they may be eating and enjoying their evening. We will not be returning and will not recommend this place to anyone. The only reason for 2 stars is for the location and decor.
I ordered through uberEats. Once I saw what the place looked like online, I just knew my food was going to be all jacked up but to my surprise, food was made fresh to order and they followed my instructions perfectly. Ordered the grilled chicken tacos with no onions and that’s exactly what I got. Delicious! Without knowing it, I ordered close to closing time so I just knew there was no chance of my food turning out right. Boy, was I wrong 🤷🏽♀️ I will definitely order from them again😊
I stopped by for the first time on Sunday afternoon for a good Margarita. What I got was a great Margarita and experience. It wasnt 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 didnt have any food since I had plans later but look forward to trying it out. I usually dont 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.
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.
Had a fun walk around piedmont park and decided to walk to food. Patio was dog friendly, and the server was nice enough to bring a bowl of ice water for our husky friend :) We were served chips and salsa while we looked through the menu.We had Asada Fries, and, holy sh-, it was amazing. Absolutely delicious.I also had a texas margarita and tacos with carnitas. Delicious, but the asada fries were the absolute best thing. I needed that meal without realizing it. Definitely coming back :)
Great service, great food, and unique setting!
AMAZING as always. LA HACIENDA is my go to Mexican spot and that says a lot because I love this stuff. Staff is arguable even nice than the food and thats hard to say because the food is always incredible. They never fall to leave me stuffed and smiling!!!!
The food was excellent 👌 and my waiter David was wonderfully attentive and eager to ensure that all of my needs were met. Classic meals and top quality service, what more can you ask for. Thank you David!
Solid Mexican fare, shrimp was especially delicious.
Me Andy husband walked in, sat down and walked right back out. The restaurant smelled like a bad mop or wet dog. I thought it was the patrons next to me so we moved our table. Clearly it was the restaurant. Im from NY and I wont be going back here.
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.
I just left from this establishment 2.22.21 around 8:10PM.First, let me start by saying its a VERY small location. From the entrance you can see the entire restaurant seating area and bar area. I walked in from the street entrance which puts you RIGHT at the host stand/area where servers get checks/silverware/menus, etc (so its a VERY high traffic area) and was not greeted. I stood at the host stand/area for between 5-7 minutes. At least 5 workers approached the area but never spoke or made eye contact with me. 1 server stood directly at the host stand grabbing silverware and never spoke.Another guy comes up from the back, and begins walking towards the host stand - the host immediately engages him and the guy asks for a table for 3 and is immediately sat/waited on.This whole time, Im still standing there the entire time and the server steps in front of me, reaches past me to grab silverware and menus for this guy. Doesnt say excuse me, no eye contact, like I wasnt even there. During this whole time there is another server standing behind the host stand area also not engaging me.Horrible. Needless to say, I walked right out on to another establishment that understands customer service particularly during these times. And then I noticed the Department of Health scare, I mean score (as I was walking out) of 85. Yikes.
Good food and very friendly staff. We were sitting outside and enjoyed our stay. Only downside is the rather busy street right next to the terrace.
Food, drinks and service were all great!!
WOULDNT EVEN RECEIVE A 1 STAR!I DONT EVEN WRITE REVIEWS BUT I HAD TO GET ON HERE AND SHARE MY EXPERIENCE! The waiter that was assigned to my table left. The new waiter didnt even receive my order that I told to the first waiter. WAITED OVER 40 MINUTES TO RECEIVE THE WRONG ORDER. The restaurant wasnt even crowded so I couldnt blame my waiting time on the people. I was one of the first few people to come in and the last to leave. The new waiter gave mea free charge on the WRONG DISH but a DISCOUNT on the RIGHT DISH. WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!
Shrimp bowl is delicious. 1st time dining there and it was a fantastic experience.
Great food. Great service. FANTASTIC.
One of the better Mexican restaurants Ive 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 didnt like the chicken and beef fillings for the enchiladas he ordered. He said they were really under-seasoned. Weve been back twice since then though. The cheese enchiladas were yummy and Ive been getting their burrito bowls. The veggie, shrimp, and carnitas burrito bowls were each fantastic.
Went there for luch, and food was great, now the service was not as great, the 3 waitresses they had seem like they didnt keep track of tables they had. Asked if we were ready to order when they never showed us a menu. Other than that everything was good.
This is the spot to go in Midtown for awesome Mexican food. The menu is spectacular and the food sooooo good. Many people love their margaritas. I’m not the biggest fan of them but the food is SO GOOD, and the staff is so awesome that I don’t even care if the margs are not my favorite. I’m so glad I found this place, and if you’re thinking about one of the other Midtown Mexican restaurants, such as Escorpion...don’t. Go here instead, you will like the food much better.
Service did not explain menu clearly and I was charged $70 for a meal for 4. Everyone knows that meal with drinks is $40 tops for 2 adults and 2 small kids. When I asked management about it she had no concern to rectify the miscommunication and basically told me your loss! Never coming back ever! No bueno!!!
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.
This is the old fashion Mexican in style and food. Thick leather menu covers, comfortable steering, original art in decor and it feels like your at a relatives home eating real home cooked Mexican food. The drinks are great, the food is even greater! Your not rushed, you are allowed to converse and dine which is how it once was everywhere.
The Burrito Tapatio is the most delicious Mexican-American creation Ive ever put in my mouth.
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!
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
Recently had our second experience here and the food and drinks are always flavorful, delicious, and served in large portions. (Even my boyfriends large appetite is left with take overs.) Choices are displayed on beautiful leather-bound menus. The service is friendly and fast and the restaurant is very well staffed. The decor is nicely done. There is a good amount of seating, though its an intimate sized space. There is ample enough free parking behind the restaurant and its in a great next to Piedmont Park and the end of east side trail on the Beltline. Hope to return and try more of the menu.
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 didnt like was valet- only parking. There was parking available nearby on the street I guess, but it was threatening rain so we wanted to be close. Im not from a big city so maybe this isnt even that weird.
Awesome spot for a margarita right on monroe near the park. Food is decent and priced well for a midtown spot. Theyve got a wonderful rooftop patio thats worth a little wait. Dog friendly on their patio.
So nice that I had my birthday dinner here twice! Theyre always accommodating to large groups, and the food is great.
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.
June 16th. I decided to celebrate my birthday. I feel such regret. I have been sick for 2 weeks since I ate there. When my fiance and I arrived, there was another couple there. We sat inside and the manager was coughing uncontrollably, so we moved to the patio. Apparently the manager was offended and sabotaged my food. My appetizer was the pina tropical. My entree was burned. I only ate the appetizer and Ive been sick for 2 weeks now. I went back to see the manager. She denied it of course. I was told that they would send me to a doctor and they would take care of my visit with their insurance company. I only got the run around. Why do that to someone thats done nothing to you? Im hoping I survive this.
First-rate vibes and super affable service. The menu was crisp and yummy. Will surely recommend this place to friends. Reasonable prices and large portions. Keep up the great work.
My FAV place to eat for Mexican food!!!! Never had a Bad dish or service. Read a few of the bad reviews. Sounds to me that they were people with children, didn’t want to tip, or didn’t drink. NONE of that is desired with Tequila anyway!!!!
The food here was amazing. I didnt snap a photo but from the corn tortillas to the tamales and fajita meats. Great atmosphere.
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.
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.
Delightful and very outstanding place! We went with my friends to dine in for the first time and we had such a good time! Food was amazing we did the fresh guacamole handmade as an appetizer afterward we choose the fajitas Texans for 2 with my boyfriend and my friends the Bowl and Tacos Jaliscos they were a hit incredibly good! The Organic Margarita was an excellent choice, fresh and really good too, our server Mario was very accurate, cheerful, fast, smiling, funny and attentive! We will definitely are coming back...
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 👍🏽 food came out fast and my server Junior was amazing ! Definitely ask for him and come visit this place !
We had an amazing meal, the food is probably the best Ive had in a long time. Highly recommend 🤩😉.
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.
Portion was great food tasted bland, no real flavor to me. Service was great. Will not return.
Food was bland. No taste at all. Ground beef was watery.
I went to La Hacienda with my parents when their Airbnb canceled at the last minute. So airbnb offered to pay for their dinner while they waited for a new one. Im so happy because the staff, food, and drinks were the saving grace for their night. They absolutely loved their experience there, even under a stressful time. It was one of the highlights of their visit to ATL, and that’s why I will always be loyal to this business.
Great waiter and food was yummy. Had El Zapata and the queso with jalapeños was so good!
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.
Good food, reasonable prices and excellent service.
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.
I was underwhelmed by the change in the last one year! We used to come here and yes, it was pricey, but they served large portions of amazing food. This week we went there to celebrate my birthday and the food portions were tiny and the quality underwhelming. A quesadilla like that we can put together at home in 5 mins for $3...
Delicious food and the waiters are great! Margaritas are delicious and having them frozen makes them even better!
The food was incredible. I grew up in Texas, so I know good Mexican food when I find it!
Real authentic Mexican food. Fast, friendly service. They offer complimentary valet parking. Would recommend.
Very poor service. We were charged for items we never received. The waiter seemed very overwhelmed and rarely checked on us. And to top it off the valet lost my sisters key. We will NEVER be back
I went a litter after lunch at 2:00 pm. It was not crowded at all, so we were immediately seated. I was with a co-worker who ordered the pork tips and I ordered the shrimp tacos. They both were initially great, but I must say I was starving because all I had that day was a pear. The tacos were delicious, however 2 hours later my stomach was killing me. And the only cause I could attribute such pain to the tacos, since thats the only thing I had. Im afraid I wont try it again after the pain I experienced :-(
The food was okay but the server only check our table once, and they were only 5 other customers in the restaurant. I wont call authentic Mexican food is more like Tex-Mex.
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.
Consistency of food and drink earns this restaurant 5 Stars. Food is always good and drinks are usually well made. 👍🏻
Great atmosphere and great food. Good attention to detail on sides.
Enjoyed the food will be back 😊
I like the steak fajitas. The draft beer was cold and on point. The salsa was banging. I just didnt like they gave me my order to go. The bartender didnt listen to me well. Other than that. I am into it.
My boy friend and I come here often. This may be the first time weve been here on a busy night. We sat at the bar like usual and the service is usually awesome as well as the food. But on this particular Saturday, we sat down and it took about 10 min to get the bartender to ask us for our drinks and never gave us menus. Then 30 min later, since we had ran out of our first round of chips, I finally asked for a menu, which I never received. So all in all. Dont come here if its busy.
Great food and service!
This is my go to midtown Mexican restaurant. It’s tucked a little out of the way but right by the belt line and Trader Joe’s. The food is always good and I get something different every time and have yet to have anything I didn’t like. The service can be a little hit and miss but always is friendly.
Enjoyed the chips and queso and veggie fajitas!
We have been to Hacienda twice and both times (our second visit was tonight) we were thrilled with the quality of the food and service. First time, we had the chicken nachos--delicious!... tonight the steak and chicken fajitas- marvelous! My husband and I split a single fajita plate and it was more than enough food for two hungry adults. As a San Antonio gal, it takes a lot for me rant about Mexican food ...but we are sold on Hacienda. I wont eat Mexican food anywhere else in Atlanta now!
Food was excellent, as were the drinks. Servers were more interested in hanging out with each other than serving, and our drinks and chips sat empty for way too long. Despite the distracted service, I would have given 4 stars except for the forced valet parking; we parked in an empty spot in an empty lot and were approached by valet as we were getting out of the car and told he had to park our car. What b.s. Forced valet parking...ugh.
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 arent service pets.
Awful!!!! Ordered a Margarita and food. After 20 to 25 min wait, which I did not mind because I was looking forward to my freshly made food, my 1/2 cooked frozen enchiladas came out. I asked to speak with the manager and she lied. She said the food was not frozen. It was the vegetables on top of the enchiladas that had made the food cold. Awful. Will never go there again.
I usually like this place a lot but my experience last night changed my mind. When my friend and I arrived the place was like an oven. We sat down and saw that the menu has changed and prices increased. The salsa was like cold ketchup and the chips were all crumbled. Dont order the chicken taco salad, it is only lettuce and chicken. I was very upset with the service and will NOT return.
The food was delicious! Got seated on patio quickly! Good customer service! I definitely will go again 🙂
I love this place. The food is great, service is more than adequate, pricing is acceptable with available scoutmob and drink specials, however my last attempted visit really soured my opinion and I doubt Ill be back for a while.So I pull in to the lot and all spaces are coned off...at 6:30pm. Guy eventually runs up and tells us Valet Only. That would be fine if I hadnt already all but pulled into a spot. Your Valet Only experience is certainly going to cost you business. It certainly did with my party tonight. The Highlander was delicious though...mmmm
Passable American Mexican food. The margaritas need a little help--simple syrup and/or sour mix just doesnt cut it, and the salt on the rim was just table salt. Stick to draft beer and youll be fine though!
Our server last night was awesome! We got to practice our Spanish and the food was amazing. They have pretty good specials throughout the week.
Saturday I had planned out to take my girlfriend out on a date so I did some research on a Mexican restaurant named ‘La Hacienda’ situated in a small hidden area in Atlanta. Very well taken care of restaurant and the food leaves you to wanting more the next time you visit. There are neighborhoods around and in front of that restaurant which is great for people that live in that area. They also have valet parking but it’s a small area that could get crowded but luckily we got parking on a Saturday night. I asked the valet if I could park my car on my own and he said yes but it would be five dollars I didn’t mind at all he was very friendly and respectful.As my girlfriend and I walked up to the entrance the waiters opened up for us like if we were important people. As you enter the place you are welcomed by every employee around you they give you a choice to sit inside or upstairs. Let me tell you it is such a great atmosphere to be around, they have a patio outside that is so well designed like no other its up top in the roof. Since it was a bit chilly Saturday night we chose to be seated inside. We were seated very quickly in less than a minute. Our waiter was really nice and gave us enough time to think about what to eat.As he came back with our drinks we asked what he would recommend us for appetizers. Jalapeño Cheese Dip, and Guacamole was what we took because he began to tell us many but those two caught our attention. The cheesy dip was so good I finished it in less than ten minutes. My girlfriend had to add a bit of salt on her guacamole, she said it needed a bit a flavor. Speaking about food the menu offers a wide selection of delicious Mexican food. From Tamales to Steak fajitas you can not go wrong with steak fajitas. I ordered steak and chicken fajitas with a side of rice and beans. My girlfriend got two tamales of chicken and a dipping sauce that had meat and cheese. Boy oh boy was our food amazing, our mouths dropped from how steamy our waiter brought the food. All the dishes were made fresh and clean it had the warmth of Mexico. Made me feel like I was actually in Mexico. The Chef take in action and actually take the time to cook your food as how you want it. Prices are not even high they are middle range prices and affordable. My check came out to being over forty dollars plus tip since our waiter was so respectful and very outgoing I gave him a good tip. Before we left he offered us drinks to go but we were so full we did not have any room for any liquid. To finish off, La Hacienda is by far the best Mexican restaurants you could go to in Atlanta. There service is outstanding and really helpful, they are really clean and have no flies inside nor outside the patio. Food is just too good to be true. They have a rating of a hundred percent in food inceptions. So how could you not trust this place to eat? To tell you I already have plans to come again next week to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Other than the parking lot, everything else was awesome. I would totally recommend you to come eat here and no other place in Atlanta when it comes to Mexican food.
La Hacienda is a pretty decent Mexican restaurant. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and efficient. I ordered a Texas margarita, it has grand marnier, and those bad boys are tasty and strong. I ordered the queso fundido appetizer to share with friends since there were ten of us. The appetizer is a meal by it self. It comes with three flour tortillas, I had two of them and was full so I did not order a main dish. But from what I saw and the reaction from my friends, the rest of the main dishes was very good.
Typically grab food to go, but have eaten I house. Service can be hit or miss, but this time stopped to grab a beer and queso while I waited for traffic to die down. Sat at bar and service was excellent. Ordered three things to go for dinner when leaving. Discovered out one item was wrong when I got home (thus the one star knock) , but still it was still prepared well and tasty. The Mexican molcajete is hands down their best entree. They always give plenty of chips and salsa on to go orders. Their house salsa is mediocre, but they do have a Chipotle salsa served in house that is great.
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.
Great service and fantastic rooftop patio. The food has also improved quite a bit and is very consistent and it is your traditional Tex-Mex. One of our favorite places to go and enjoy margaritas.
I’m not sure if I left a review already, but the food is so good here. Whether tofu or shredded chicken. I regret not eating here sooner. I have driven past this place for years! Never again!
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!
Ordered mushroom tacos and was served beans with bacon in it. Not a vegetarian friendly place! Also our chips had little bugs in them. Maybe the kitchen is dirty maybe it isnt I dont know. Wont be going back though as they have no food for me.
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
Excellent food and drinks. One of the best we have had in Atlanta. Huge servings mean you get multiple delicious meals, too.
First time buying tacos from this restaurant and I think they were bomb worth the price
My friend insisted we sit outside...which is right on a very busy and loud road...and I hated that part.The guacamole fresca was PERFECTI am giving 4 Stars because the service was not great.
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.
We valet parked, and as we were walking in there was a sign that said: Please seat yourself.After walking inside, we saw no one waiting in line so we walked upstairs to the patio, and saw two empty tables. We sat down at one of the empty tables, and waited for about 20 minutes while all of the waiters ignored us.We finally flagged down a waiter, and he asked if we were seated by a host. We said no, because there was a sign that said to seat yourself. Instead of offering a suggestion on what we should do next, all he said was, Oh, there is actually a wait. We told him about the sign, and he would never acknowledge it, and just kept saying There is a wait, sorry.We ended up leaving because by that time wed wasted about 30 minutes doing nothing, only to get put on a waitlist when there appeared to be multiple open tables.We decided to leave, and we went to La Fonda. We were seated within 1 minute, and served Chips, Salsa, and drinks within 4 minutes.I dont mind waiting in line, but I was very disappointed that I was treated like an idiot when there clearly was a sign outside that communicated contradictory information. I probably wont come back here.
Horrible service. Just okay food. Great central location. I expected something way better, given how often I pass this place while running and how busy it looks.
Great service upstairs. Had Kens Special - really good. Appetizer was an old mion blak bean melted cheese thing that was fabulous. The Casadores margaritas were excellent
The service here is spectacular. The food comes fast and is good. Big plates. Fresh guacamole made tableside; my kids ask for it minus jalapeno and tomato. I will vouch for the carnitas and the lingua tacos. My girls like the monster glasses of strange smelling horchata. Decor is fun, with big paintings and wrought iron. Parking lot in back has had room for us each time so far.
So excited about my experience that I couldnt wait until I got home. Im Im the restaurant at the bar writing this review. Luis is our bartender and hes awesome. He made some great recommendations from the drinks to the food.We decided on a pitcher of the frozen house margarita. Its really good and has me feeling some typa way lol. We ordered the table side guacamole. Ooooomg so good. Very enjoyable. Luis made it and it was flavorful and chunky and delicious. Since his guac was so good, we decided to take his advice on food. I ordered the pollo hacienda and my best friend ordered the burrito hacienda. We were both very pleased with our food choices. Flavorful, tender meat. The rice is to die for and the beans just tied everything together. Mmm mm Good. Did I mention how good the chips and salsa are? Yea this place is new and Ill definitely be back! Check it out!
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.
Great place to eat. Excellent staff and waiters. Affordable food and drink prices.
Great service, great food, patio seating. The Pollo Hacienda is delish and the house margaritas are good as well. Highly recommend
The portions are big. The service is mostly good. The Guac has sour cream and they cant seem to substitute two or three slices of avocado instead the guac.
The service here is always good. The food is great. Get the guac thats made at your table, its great.The parking situation is a little strange, its valet in a very small lot.
Welcome to the estate.(La Hacienda), where you the food is delicious, portions are great , the drinks get you there. Had the fajita Steak, that’s sauce makes it amazing, highly recommend.
Portions are a good size, but not flavorful. The food was served lukewarm. The waiter was mostly absent for the length of the meal. I expected better quality of the price.
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.
Delicious food. Can’t believe I’d been in Atlanta 4+ years and only just tried this place. 👌🏼✨ Good service and great menu. Looking forward to going back.
Their bowls are to DIE for! I always get the shrimp bowl and its enough for two days. Always fresh and hot food. Never had a bad experience.
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).
A place to always keep in mind. Very good Mexican food, service and a beautiful place near Piedmont park in Atlanta.
My favorite Mexican food establishment in midtown. Friendly staff, localsl love it.
Waitress had attitude but we still had drinks and left, someone else waited on us and it got better
Although the chicken soup or Caldo tlapeno is $14, it was delicious! Enough for two meals. They also have draft beer, I had the xx Amber, very good.
Chips and salsa were good but I only came for drinks after a long day at work. Margaritas are $9+, taste well but mildly alcoholic.
Place is empty and it’s taking them 15 minutes to make one meal while i’ve got someone else’s food getting cold in my car. seen plenty of other delivery drivers come and go. asked for an eta and heard nothing.
We had a great time!! This was my familys first time here and everything was really delicious 😋well definitely be back
Pretty good food. Decent service. Nice drink menu selections. And the desert was great. Would definitely recommend.
2nd time eating there....1st time shortly after it opened was good, wish I could say the same about 2nd and maybe last time. I ordered a beef burrito and Im pretty sure I ate couple of bites of ALPO dog food in the burrito, it was disgusting!!! The boyfriend ordered a steak fajita quesedilla and it was loaded with veggies and mushrooms....somewhere in that expensive sfq was some steak....I think.We shouldve gone to FROGS right down the street:-/DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT WORK AT FROGS OR KNOW ANYONE THAT DOES
Food was great, but could barely understand the waitress. It was a Friday evening so it was packed but they got our group seated quickly.
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.
They didnt have leche or mango pie, its cool food was still delicious. Got enchiladas they went heavy on the salad
Worst nachos ever toped with a small portion of cold cheese no queso or melted cheese .... paid $3 extra for supreme aka lettuce and 1tablespoon of sour cream. We also ordered tacos and a quasadilla all of which had cold cheese.... Weak tiny over the iced drinks
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.
La Hacienda will always hold a special place in my heart. The food is always on point and fills the void anytime Im craving Americanized Mexican food.
Great as always. I typically eat the carne asada tacos when I come. Decided to eat something different and had the burrito Gordo. It was also very good, but will go back to my tacos next time. Probably the best in the city.
The Bacon wrapped burrito was amazing! Queso dip was great too. Id go here pretty often if I lived in Atlanta
Not real Mexican food! I ordered the enchiladas Michoacanas, I don’t know where they got the idea of calling them michoacanas.
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!
I came here when they first opened, it was okey. Fast forward 5 months....I ordered a beef burritos and a steak quesedilla, the beef in the burrito was generic flavorless canned beef (think taco bell without the seasoning) with the consistency of a can of dog food.The steak in the quesedilla ($13.25) was chewy chips of beef that had been boiled in water with absolutely no seasoning added. Expect meal for two $30, value of food served less than $5.If you want to pay this much for less, there are MUCH better mexican restaurants in the area that serve un-canned meat and will actually add seasoning to your meal.If you have any doubts about recent 5 star reviews, put your mind at ease, they are either employees and friends. ☺

2022-03-19This is, so far, the best Mexican restaurant Ive ever eaten at. The staff is welcoming and attentive, they make you feel like youre a family member coming for dinner. And the food is amazingly good, I had the Mexican Molcajete and it was a meat lovers wet dream.

2022-07-02This place is wonderful!! Firstly, the staff is great from the valet to the servers. My white sangria was fruity and potent. My steak hacienda was absolutely to die for! My auntie had the cameron (shrimp) with tamarind sauce and I tried it. Omg. So good. We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend!

2022-04-09Weekday lunch combo specials. I had #1, taco, enchilada and rice for $6.99. The salsa was also very good. I was surprised to see a credit card convenience fee added to my bill.

2022-02-09Had a great time! Our server was friendly and helpful with recommendations and the food was fantastic. My partner and I had the Enchiladas Aztecas and one of the steak dinners. Only downside was that parking was a little tight, even on a Tuesday night -- not surprised its usually valet only. Were really looking forward to coming back in the spring and eating in the outdoor area.

2021-08-27Terrific spot for margaritas and Mexican food. Pitchers are on the pricey side, but really good. I usually have the organic or the frozen margarita. There is outside, sidewalk patio seating. I like sitting at the bar. Its a small bar with very friendly, engaging bartenders and there always seems to be friendly folks hanging out there. LGBTQ friendly. Everything Ive had on the menu was excellent. Most recently ordered a grilled vegetable bowl.

2022-06-15Heard good things about this place but couldn’t experience it. Partial my fault and partially the restaurant. We arrived at 856pm and they closed at 10pm. We arrived with party of seven (4 adults 3 kids) we thought this would be enough time because we eat pretty fast. We were told the wait would be 30 min. When a party cleared they took their time cleaning the table. Someone kept asking who we were and if we were helped. When we finally got seated at 920 we were told the kitchen closed in ten minutes. As we walked to our table the time started to speed down to now 8’min . Our server appeared very impatient. We decided to leave.My mistake was coming as late as we did. Their mistake was not telling us at 9 when they added us to the list, that the kitchen would be closing at 930. We would’ve left at 9pm.

2022-04-28The food was fair. It wasnt what I expected. I normally frequent la hacienda in other locations and their food is superb. I was thinking this would be the same business or standard in terms of taste and drinks. The alcoholic beverages were not good, and the food was just fair. But it was hot.
