La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant

Every time we have been here the food has been great. Expect your typical Tex-​Mex style food. The chips are thin and salsa is outstanding. They have Mexican beer on tap! I’m gonna say probably the best Mexican place I’ve found so far in the Collierville area.

Love, love, love their salsa. I usually go buy some to have at home once a week or so. The fajitas are good also. Service is always quick.

I really enjoyed the place. I’ve taken out several times but haven’t actually sat in. I love how they include the fantastic chips with fresh salsa! Quality is also fantastic! (Had the chicken enchilada) The only issue is that you aren’t necessarily super welcomed upon entrance. But they are friendly.

I have been coming here for years and they are consistently good. Not the best or most authentic, but service is good, salsa is homemade and the margaritas are very good. All around okay, clean and comfortable and they have a big screen in the dining room

Strip Mall Mexican — and didn’t even get that right! Yuck! And worse… the service was terrible in that they didn’t get anything right and had zero care for customers. Now I now why we haven’t eaten here since we moved here 5 years ago!

Wonderful Mexican food at a reasonable price. We eat there every week and have never had a bad meal. I would highly recommend the shrimp fajitas. Also, if you are not feeling well the Mexican chicken soy is the perfect cure. Their chips are thin and crisp plus they have great salsa. This is a must-​try for Mexican.

Okay. First off: their chips are to die for! They are so thin, yet so addicting! You can’t stop once you take that first bite! I found out about this place when I went with my coworkers for an offsite team gathering one day. I ended up ordering a Chicken chimichanga. It was rather delicious. The second time I went was with my wife. I ordered the Chicken adobe this time, and the cheese is oozingly (is that a word?) good! My wife ordered the Chicken chimichanga. (NOTE: they have two types of Chicken Chimichangas. I only tried the second one. Their first one is the one that my wife ordered, but she loved it, and it looks rather scrumptious!) Also: their drink glasses are HUGE! I swear, they are Paul Bunion-​sized mugs! I love it!

Light chips, good salsa, avg guacamole.
Excellent beef chili rellenos.
Decent value. Possibly the best Mexican food in Collierville.

If I could give it no stars, I would. Just moved to the area and went here for the first time for dinner tonight. I ordered a combination plate with a taco, enchilada, and tamale (all chicken). When my dinner came there was a thick white sauce covering the enchilada and tamale. I tasted the sauce with my fork and it was awful! Had no clue what it was but did know that it was not good. I had never seen a sauce like this on Mexican food, and I have had a lot of amazing Mexican food having lived in Arizona and California. When the waiter came to check on us I asked what the sauce was, his response «cream sauce». I told him that I didn’t care for it at all and was expecting the enchilada to come with enchilada sauce (what a concept). He had no response for me and walked away. A few minutes later he returned with a small dish of red sauce that he wanted me pour over the top, um, hello, this white stuff is disgusting! I put my plate at the end of the table still full of food and on his next time by he took the plate. He NEVER offered to have it remade or offer me something different and I still paid for my dinner. On the way out I was asked how my meal was and I explained everything to the man up front and he as well as a server standing nearby said «all of our chicken dishes come with cream sauce» like I should have known that. No where on the menu does it say that because I looked! So their response was «try to remember that for next time». Are you kidding me? Next time? I don’t think so. The food was awful, the service was awful, and they obviously don’t care if their guests leave without eating their food!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I don’t care that it’s not the most authentic place but it’s awesome!!!

Our family loves going to La Hacienda in Collierville. It’s authentic Mexican and I can’t say enough about their chips! Thin, warm, delicious chips and the BEST salsa. We only have Mexican meals at La Hacienda in Collierville. Cutting back on portions? Share the chicken quesadilla with your dinner partner. The perfect size meal…

Decided to give this a try based off other Unilocaler reviews; unfortunately didn’t meet my expectations. The Chips and Salsa were good, but it fell off from there. Took advantage of the Margarita promotion, two for $ 6.00; the taste was fairly flat and uneventful. Ordered the Durango Plate, that included a Cheese Enchilada and and Beef Tamale, the flavor was okay, but again, like the Margarita, was not left with my palette desiring more, or feeling a need to return anytime soon.

BEST SALSA EVER!
This is the only Tex-​Mex place I will still go to now that my tastes have changed and I prefer authentic Mexican food. It has the best salsa ever. I sometimes buy it to-​go for my husband (though I would not recommend this as it can be just as expensive as going there– better to just go and get free salsa!).
I also love that this place encourages patrons to speak Spanish with the waiters if they know it. In fact, my husband used to get me to order my food in Spanish when I was first learning. The waiters are great and the food is consistently good. The portions are huuuuge. They also have an unofficial menu with authentic stuff such as huevos con chorizo, which is one of hubby’s fav things (though not mine as this one destroys my stomache).
Foods I have loved:
— I typically get the Burrito Asada de pollo (chicken) or #37– they are the same thing but during the week at lunch that’s what number it is on the lunch menu.
— Mexican Lasagna (chilaquiles) with salsa verde. I was impressed because some restaurants use chips but here they use corn tortillas– which is exactly how my sister-​in-​law makes it. It was excellent. It wasn’t spicy at all but it was flavorful enough that I didn’t mind. In fact it is now one of my favorite dishes.
— Pollo Borracho was amazing. It has a great presentation and the corn tortillas really balance the flavor out well. Ask for corn tortillas instead of flour– it’s delicious!
— The carnitas are rich and flavorful and huge. I was really impressed.
— The steak and chicken fajita nachos are fantastic, though the chips were soggy and generally indistinguishable from the rest of the food.
— My parents often order the fajitas (chicken, steak, and shrimp) to go whenever they’re in the mood for takeout Mexican.

Took my dad to La Hacienda for lunch. He’s from Texas and picky about mexican food. HE LOVED IT! And so did I. Great prices and the salsa is so fresh. I’m glad he liked it. Maybe now he’ll come visit more often.

I love La Hacienda for its staff as well as the food. Many of the servers may seem reserved but they love a friendly smile and conversation. Our favorite? Ask for Nube :) The manager is extra friendly and very accommodating for large parties. The food is always served quickly and hot. The salsa is excellent! My fav dish is enchilada mexicanas. The atmosphere is much warmer than El Porton.

I eat at the other locations all the time, it’s my favorite Mexican food in town. Best salsa you will find anywhere. But the people at this location are SO unfriendly. Every time I come in here. Must trickle down from management. Food is excellent but if they could hire someone who isn’t a zombie it would make for a better experience. They would make more tips as well so hello wait staff…

Good fajitas and good ice tea. Service could be better. Food is fairly priced and the portions are big. Only complaint is the service.

Always decent Mexican food. You can’t go wrong eating here.
