" I must say I was thoroughly impressed with my experience here. From the moment we entered, the staff made us feel at home. The free chips and salsa were excellent, and I enjoyed the shrimp tacos, which were cooked perfectly. They had a vibrant seasoning that I found delightful! The service was quick, and the restaurant itself is well-kept, clean, and inviting. I’ll definitely be making this a regular spot for my Mexican food cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Hacienda Vieja on our recent visit. The chips and salsa were a fantastic start, and the queso was a nice bonus. I had the shrimp tacos, which were good but could use a little more seasoning to elevate the flavor. The service was friendly, and the wait wasn't too long, which was appreciated. The atmosphere was nice and lively but on the louder side. I would come back again but may try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hacienda Vieja with high hopes after reading great reviews. I wasn't disappointed! The margaritas were fantastic, perfectly blended and chilled. The highlight was undoubtedly the fajitas, which were sizzling hot and bursting with flavor. Our waitress was lovely, ensuring our glasses were never empty and checking on our table unobtrusively. I highly recommend the tres leches cake for dessert; it was a perfect ending to our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and Hacienda Vieja stands out! The ambiance felt welcoming, and the food was packed with authentic flavors. My only complaint would be the waiting time for our food—it took longer than expected despite the busy evening. I had the fajitas, which brought back many fond memories from my travels in Mexico. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit did not meet my expectations at all. The service was uncharacteristically slow, and I found the food lacking in any unique flavors. The street tacos I had didn't seem to carry the authentic flavor profile I was anticipating. I wish the experience would’ve been better, as I had heard great things from friends. I'll be visiting other places in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I've experienced better Mexican food elsewhere. The service was slightly inattentive and the food didn't have the authentic flavors I was hoping for. My burrito lacked zest and tasted rather bland. That being said, the ambiance was nice, and it was a busy night, but it felt like the service suffered because of this. I’m not sure if I’d return. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! My partner and I decided to try this new Mexican place and we were blown away. We started with the nachos, which were generously topped with cheese and guacamole. I ordered the enchiladas verdes and they were delightful—filled with just the right amount of flavor and spice. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel valued. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
