La Hacienda Midtown

Moved to Atlanta in July. Been to and seen plenty of Mexican joints but they’ve always had a more polished or trendy vibe. Nothing wrong with that, continue to go. Foods always great but I’ve been missing the less curated, more lived-in energy, similar to family owned ones back where I’m from. So tonight I was intro’ed to this place. Food. Was. Delicious. Got the pollo hacienda with creamy poblano sauce. So good. Sauce is mildly rich, but packed with a nice flavor. And when I say the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and seasoned perfectly. I ain’t lying. The tacos midtown! Whew. Fried chicken cutlets. Cooked perfectly. Moist and soft on the inside. Came out piping hot. Enchilada supreme, came out LOADED. Table salsa and chips were great and our server was also attentive but not in our face. A little delay on the check but we hit that place at the very beginning of the Friday dinner rush. He was getting it done with a smile. Enjoyed my visit. Will return.

Got a takeout order and found a BUG cooked INSIDE THE RICE. Seeing as the rice is used in many dishes there… I’m sure there are several INSECTS INSIDE THE FOOD. Disgusting. Apparently no quality control.

The salsa is good. They do make fresh guacamole at your table. Just make sure you do not eat too many chips. Chicken bowl was good. Pollo hacienda was average. Service was not that good, you have to wait longer. If you select outside sitting, be ready for dust and car noise since the patio is attached to the road and inside of restaurant it was noisy

This place was completely empty. The parking was bad. We left but couldn't find another place. Went back, the place was still empty, everyone working was kind and we were still the only people there. The food was awful and cold and took a long time. The salsa tasted like tomato paste . We had 2 house margs, 2 lunch specials and a side taco and cheese dip and it was $70. If this is a franchise it needs new ownership and if not it needs to close it was by far disgusting.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. Alex and Aaron provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure our experience was fabulous. They were attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations that enhanced our meal. The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was top-notch. We also indulged in some great margaritas that perfectly complemented our meal. They were refreshing and expertly crafted. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. I can't wait to return and enjoy another delightful meal!

I ordered fish tacos. They were good. Not amazing food, but chill vibes and fast service. Friendly staff. If you’re pescatarian, explain it to them because many items might be cooked with beef or animal stock such as beans and the rice.

I don’t come here often but when I do I love to get the chicken flautas! Warning-margaritas here are strong! And only order the spicy margarita if you want a VERY spicy one. I’d recommend the house margarita! FYI there is valet parking in the lot so be prepared. It is a more expensive spot than others I’ve been to but the food is good! Great spot to bring dogs since they have a good patio!

Great food! White queso good..salsa is better! Chips were warm fresh had great taste not dry and thick like other places. Steak tacos my son loved..lunch fajitas great deal .. very filling.. margarita was good too! Hubby had carne fries..he tries them at all the Mexican cuisine places we visit. He said we're really good..they even brought him over extra steak said didn't look like was enough meat n brought more! All good..wasn't busy..good service..wish lived closer would frequent more. Food is def worth our drive though!
