Coming for a late dinner, we were charmed by the lovely decor, like sitting in an outdoor courtyard in Spain (though indoors). Families were there with children, as well as adults eager for a delicious dinner. Service was friendly and accurate, with a feeling of warm welcome. (Only gripe: I had to ask for water 3 times before I got it.) Seafood was beautifully fresh. My red snapper was delicate and tender, my husband also had snapper but with "fruits of the sea." He said that the mussels were so fresh that the water in them had a touch of flavor of the sea, which is only typical of seaside restaurants. One friend had tapas dishes, among which was octopus, which he deemed perfectly prepared. And the other, who had veal, said it too was delicious. Sides were tomato rice, very fresh garden veggies, and slightly greasy hot potato "chips." They don't really give you choices on the sides. I would say the sides were ok, not transcendent! Their menu does have a few nice vegetarian options also. Not sure about vegan. They have a free parking lot. The restaurant is BYOB, with a store next door where you can buy wine, a good selection at reasonable prices. This is a user-friendly dining experience with outstandingly fresh food, well prepared, and good service.

Lunch, dinner, appetizers and drinks will please the palate. Any time of day or night you will find customers in the restaurant or at the bar. Fresh fish and homemade soups are my favorite. Family friendly too!

Great little local gem. Not expensive, and really a tavern with an upscale Latin cuisine. We started with the shrimp skewers as an appetizer, and they where good. Then I had the salmon which was very tasty, and my date had a shrimp dish with rice and plantain that was equally as good. IT definitely falls into your neighborhood gem that serves good food at a good price.

First. let me say that their participation in the airline miles dining program brought us here. Their front door is somewhat scary, like the entrance to a Speakeasy. The interior is dimly lit with a garish decor against a black ceiling. There were no prices listed on their specialty drinks menu. We ordered soft drinks and were brought a can of soda sand a bottle of Snapple; we had to ask for glasses of ice. Even though it was after lunch and there were only about 15 people present it took a long time for our entrees to arrive. It seemed even longer because no complimentary chips and salsa were provided to whet our appetites. My barely warm bland Chicken Enchiladas came on a hot plate with lots of lettuce. My spouse's Combo Fortaleza had nice seasoning although a somewhat salty flavor. The rice and beans were average. After the disappointing entrees, we skipped the $6 Flan. They have 1/2 price Happy Hour drinks and Nachos & Wings Mondays through Thursdays that would might motivate you to visit during that time. Just don't go with high expectations for other choices on the menu.

La Hacienda had been our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area --- until the renovation. We were anxiously awaiting its reopening and finally got there this past Tuesday. We were seated quickly and server came right over with the menus and asked about drinks, which was fine. However, when we looked at the menu, we could hardly read it. It had a black background with the smallest grey printing I have ever seen on a menu. I could barely read it, and my wife had to borrow my glasses to see it, and she has excellent eyesight. The food itself was tasty, but luke warm at best. My wife had enchiladas, while I had the chimichangas, which I don't think were made in house, but pre-made and just warmed up. Also, don't sit on the bar side of the restaurant: it was extremely noisy! We literally almost had to shout at each other and we were at a two person table! Will we give La Hacienda another try? YES, because we think it was the best in the area, and hope the disappointment from this visit was just a one timer

We had a great time getting our fill of sangria, beef and seafood. The Flan was excellent.Pricey, but huge portions. The pitcher of sangria was $31 but it is very tasty.I thought the seafood was a better choice. One of us had the paella and the other a jumbo shrimp dish. Both were very generous with lots of lobster and jumbo shrimp, and the yellow rice that both were cooked in was extremely flavorful and moist.The 2 guys both had the filet mignon. It was cooked as ordered and it was huge. We each ate about half. It was very good, and moist, however it wasnât a knockout. I guess for $51 bucks I expected it to be a home run. It wasnât. The table over from us had the prime rib. It looked amazing. Next time!

Colombian stables at this restaurant. They have their own bakery in the back. Service was good, they serve big portions for very little money. The food came out warm, not hot as i like it but good.
