La Hacienda

We got the buffet and I was less than impressed. They do bring you fresh tortillas to your table, but that was the only thing that actually tasted fresh. Most other things appeared to have been sitting out for quite some time (we did arrive around 3pm, so that may be part of it). The crunchy tacos had more of a chewy texture to them. It was only $ 7 per person, so I can’t complain about the price. The best strategy for this place seems to be to assemble your own food. Since the tortillas are fresh, and they do have chicken fajitas, it seems only logical to make your own fajita taco rather than eating their pre-​assembled ones. Since they have a taco bar complete with beans, cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo and sour cream, you can make your own nachos with the chips they give you at the table. This definitely isn’t my favorite place to eat in Del Rio, but I might go back if I’m ever in the immediate area again.

Not bad at all, I enjoyed a sea food platter dish that has rice, beans, shrimps, tilapia & a chicken taco it was super delish, to quench my sweet after salty tooth I had the arroz con leche it was yummy. Also very vegetarian friendly delicious cheese enchilidas with rice & beans.

Lunch was A OK. Good chips and salsa, good guacamole (although more tomatoes, onion and peppers than avocado but very tasty). Good cheese enchiladas. I would return. It was good.

This restaurant could easily go up one or two stars if they cut down on the salt in their food. We had the lunch time buffet. The variety was good, the food was fresh, the flavors authentic (Mexican and some Tex-​Mex), but the sodium was too high. If they cut back to half the salt their food will taste so much better.
I loved the arroz con leche dessert.

They quite literally had one of the best burritos I’ve ever eaten. We went with a group of 12 and everyone was thoroughly pleased with the meal they received, ranging from the ostensibly grease-​saturated chimis (they weren’t) to the Hacienda platter to fajitas. Certainly, it was pretty difficult to work out the reservation because the preferred language of the staff is clearly Spanish, but the payoff of the outstanding meal is definitely worth the effort. Also, if you go with a large group, you can expect a wait, but that’s anticipated. This restaurant is fantastic and deserves more business than it currently enjoys; I would recommend it to anyone in Del Rio.

Only b/​c you can’t 0 star. So I know I live within shouting distance of the border, but I couldn’t get anyone on the phone that spoke English, so thanks to a few years of spanish, I ordered in their native tongue. We ordered chimi’s, one of beef and one of chicken. I thought the chicken were chicken nuggets b/​c they were fried so bad. The chips and chimi’s were saturated with grease, and there was nothing in the chimis except meat, and probably an ounce worth. It was down right awful. If I ever go there again it will be because it’s close, the beer is cheap the salsa was pretty tasty, and I won’t order anything from the menu that is an actual meal…
