“ Really like this place great menu great happy hour and great service. There chips and salsa arrive at the table as soon as you sit down. They are fresh warm and 3 different salsas. We have had many dishes here and we are never disappointed. There is an appetizer shrimp ajillo which is so delicious it is kinda like shrimp scampi but better. The garlic toast dipped in the sauce is amazing. Many varieties of Mexican food all prepared by the chef who works in an open kitchen. If you ate in the area give Hacienda a try you won't be disappointed. ”

“ I love coming here to have Mexican food! The restaurant is pretty spacious. Indoor and outdoor seating! Inside the place is super cute, especially with the tree in the middle! They sat my husband and I by the tree the last time we came and it was nice. Their margaritas are great and big! I definitely recommend having one. My favorite dish on their menu is the veggie rolled tacos! And their chips and salsa are yummy! I love that they give you three different salsas to choose from! They have great service and food! Can't wait to come back for dinner or lunch. ”

“ my 12-year old has SCIENCE OLYMPICS two evenings a week at VIASAT. i'd much rather hang out at nearby HACIENDA de VEGA than drive home in time to turn around and drive back to pick him up. tuesdays are (street-style) taco tuesdays with $2 for chicken, carnitas, carne asada, and al pastor and $2.5 for shrimp and grilled mahi-mahi). thursdays during football season i can watch the NFL game and sip $5 house margaritas while grazing on a plate of chips and salsa with something from their appetizer menu. rumor has it they offer an extensive selection of craft beers and a full menu if you're looking for serious eats. ”
