First time here, nice restaurant & large bar, large dining area where tables are not crowded. Service was excellent and you are not hurried. The portions are large with good taste. The margaritas great. No complaints or suggestions here. We had appetizer, 2 main courses, 2 margaritas & 2 beers $101.00. 7pm Saturday with no wait time for a table. 5/28/22

Rarely, if ever, do I leave a review at a place, but felt compelled to do so since the food was stellar. Was authentic and reminded me of the meals my family would make back home. In particular, the chile rellenos were perfect.

First time visit, I asked the owner what he recommended. Nothing, he said whatever he told me I'd order the opposite. Worried it was going to be bland based on his reply, I asked for a grilled jalapeno on the side. They charged me $4.95 for a grilled jalapeno. ?? Way overpriced for greasy refried beans and mediocre Mexican food. Plus that's shady adding a $5 jalapeno to someone's order without saying anything.

The customer service was great. I got there before it opened and I was greeted by the owner I'm assuming and he was a gentleman. The chips and salsa was nice but the food was average. My rice tasted bland and soggy like yesterdays left overs. The chili was also just enchilada scause mixed with possibly can green chili. It was bland with no spice and no different from other mediocre Mexican food joints. I would not recommend them for their chili what's so ever. Hopefully there will be improvements on the true taste of Mexican cuisine. ?

I have enjoyed my meal both times ive been in. Its a good mom and pops place to enjoy.

We really enjoy the food here. Good mix of options and nice overall dining experience.Good salsas and chips. Flavors are authentic and bold enough to stand out.

Hacienda real has it all. Tacos? Check. Cornaritas? Check. Excellent service and tremendous vibes? Check. This no frills gem is the perfect place to get a hungover dinner with your boys after a day of skiing, an epic date with your significant other, or some out of this world take out!

Nice place for dinner party. Staff was so helpful and cooperative.

We stumbled across this restaurant on the way to the movies and wow! We were so impressed. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing! We got the taquitos, a chile relleno combo and the shrimp fajitas and they were all great. We can’t wait to come back!

"Oh wow look at all these good reviews"Famous last words before I wasted 20 bucks on this dogwater restaurant and their fajitas.If youre one of those people that "love mexican food" but don't actually frequent an authentic Mexican resturant or food truck, then this is the perfect place for you.Otherwise if youre expecting some sort of flavor or even the lightest hint of salt or seasoning or anything for gods sakes anything at all to actually have taste here, especially at this price point, then you will be sorely disappointed.When I went to pick up my order it looked like seniors night at the rec center so im assuming thats why they somehow still have 4+ stars and are able to charge 15-20 dollars for 50 cents worth of mashed unseasoned beans and rice. They gave me only one tiny ketchup packet sized portion of salsa for my bag of chips in a to-go ramiken which is fine because the salsa was terrible anyways.The salsa tastes like they cracked open a can of tomatoes and used the water as "salsa", if anything it was a little bitter. The chips are always usually really bad at Mexican restaurants thin, cheap, unsalted, etc but here they somehow managed to make them even worse. Dried strips of cardboard have more flavor and crunch. The beans and rice also taste straight boiled with no salt or seasonings of any kind. I could go on but most people cant read this much in one sitting and if you haven't made your mind up yet, then nothing else I can say will help.
