Came here for the first time, and never expected to love the food so much! I came in, and was welcomed by the staff very kindly and we were seated very quickly. The food came out very quick, but not only that, the food was very delicious. Only one bad thing, i couldn’t eat even more delicious food . Definitely recommend and will come back in the future.

Dining at Grand Hacienda today wasn’t just a meal—it was a spiritual experience, and her name was Mary. The fajitas? Sizzling perfection. The ambiance? Delightfully festive. But Mary? Mary was the sun, moon, and all the stars wrapped in one flawless server. From the moment she approached our table, I knew we were in the presence of greatness. Her energy? Impeccable. Her timing? Divine. Her recommendations? Life-altering. I’m convinced she seasoned the fajitas with fairy dust and positive affirmations. Every detail, from the drink refills to the extra napkins delivered before I even knew I needed them—flawless. Mary didn’t just serve food. She served an experience. A memory. A moment I will treasure forever. If Grand Hacienda ever loses her, they’ll need to shut the whole operation down. In conclusion: Go for the fajitas. Stay for Mary. Build a shrine to her. Name your firstborn after her. She is that iconic.

The chips are good. Yany was lovely. My ceviche was a fairly big dish. Well worth the price. I liked the music. They had Dos Equis Amber bottles in the cooler. Cool place, huh?

The food and atmosphere is always good. But we really loved our server Gaby. She was very sweet and informative. She prepared our guacamole right at our table.. We wish her the best from all of us at Joyful Moments Vacation Rentals...

We had a great 72nd bday dinner for my cousin tonight. Mary is an excellent server. She’s super nice, knowledgeable and took great care of us. I was trying to surprise him so told her in Spanish it was his bday and they brought out fried ice cream with a sparkler-like candle in it and sang happy birthday to him. It was so great and he really enjoyed it. The food is also really good. 10 for 10 would recommend!

This was my first time a Grand Hacienda restaurant. We were there to celebrate a family birthday and our server, Mary, helped to make our dining experience perfect, and the birthday celebration even more special. She was very attentive to everything we needed while being professional, very kind and thoughtful. We were a large party and she was very attentive to every person as well as the two small children we had with us. It was a great dining experience but Mary made sure the evening was 110%. I will be recommending this restaurant and will tell all my friends to ask for Mary!

I wasn't sure if they would allow dogs but I was able to sit outside with her. Gaby was absolutely an amazing server and really went above and beyond to make sure my experience was great with my Malinois. I ordered a hacienda Rita and Molcajete and it was delicious although a lot of food. :-).
