Our family just loves this place, and today our server Petra was amazing! From the moment we arrived until we left she was on it! We didn’t have to ask or wait for anything. She was taking our drink order the moment we were seated. Prompt refills and checked to make sure we didn’t need anything. She was a delight and quite possibly the best server I have ever had!

This is a great place to eat! Firstly, I would like to give Keani major kudos for steering us well. She started out by saying everything was good, but then she brought it. My wife got the shrimp tacos, the first bite of which prompted a happy dance at the table. It was the sweetness from the mango salsa followed by the spiciness of the arbol sauce and the richness of the shrimp that got her right in the feels. I had the Durango Salad with flank steak. First of all it was huge and creatively presented. Next the flavor on the steak was perfect; smoky, subtly spicy, and tender as all get out with just the edge of crispy from the sear. Everything was exceedingly excellent and the food came out insanely fast (though Keani said we came at a really good time).

Keani greeted us, seated us, steered is, and saw us out the door. Could not have asked for a better server. She knew her stuff with the menu, knew the storied history of the restaurant, was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and all around great. She is definitely a La Hacienda treasure. She was even thoughtful enough to bring an assortment of containers for the to-go items and a fresh spoon to gather it all up!

We went at an in-between hour and it was very calm and quiet. A birthday party showed up after a bit to liven things up some, but still really chill. Everything was clean and mostly well taken care of, but some of the history still shows. The bathrooms were clean and pleasantly aromatic.

And lastly, though we were pleasantly stuffed from this delicious endeavor, we ordered the Tres Leches Cheesecake to go, because who can resist!
