Popular choices include varieties of guacamole, ceviche, lobster tacos, filet de parilla, churros, flaming coffees and 240 selections of tequila presented by a certified tequila expert. The atmosphere is as inviting as the food, with rustic architecture warmed by beehive fireplaces and outdoor fire pits.

Restaurant strengths: “At La Hacienda, we focus on the quality of our food and service. Chefs Richard Sandoval and Forest Hamrick are the creative minds behind the menu. We pair their genius with a service team tenured from 6-14 years. The team is a family, working together to create memorable dining experiences for our guests.
