“ I might be bias because I have come here for a long time but I love the food and they have the best chips and queso! If you aren't sure what to get I recommend trying the flautas or carnitas. ”
“ Our server Chad was INCREDIBLE. Stopped by hacienda after my daughter's choir concert and got to chatting with Chad about music. Such a stellar guy, good conversation, great service, awesome food. Definitely coming back. ”
“ We always have great food and service at Hacienda 1st Ave! Chad is fantastic and remembers our food order even when we haven’t visited in awhile! It’s hard to try something new when you know everything will be perfect! Thanks Chad and Hacienda for always providing a top notch experience! ”
“ I’ve been coming here since I was little and always love it. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever had bad service—the people are friendly, the food is great, and the margs are the best in CR! ”
“ They were very friendly! The bathrooms were clean. The drink were very strong but delicious. And because it was national Womans day they offered a very delicious brownie. Definitely recommend this location stop by if you want delicious Mexican food! ... ”
“ Basically the only place I go out anymore, food is reasonably priced, service is great, margs are the best in town. The first time anyone ever took me here I said I thought they had the best table salsa I'd had outside of Texas. Still true. ”
“ This is our main go-to-place for food and the best margs in town! They treat us like family every time we visit. Occasionally we've stopped at another Mexican restaurant to try out of curiosity and still find HACIENDA remains #1 in CR in all aspects in our book; at this time there is no need to try any other place. Food is always great, service is excellent even when they're busy. They know how to check on their customers from the first beverage served until it's check time. The next generation in this family (now grown up) even understands why Dad has been going to this place since before they were born. Both 1st Ave and Center Point Rd will take care of you. ”
“ We have been fans of Hacienda Las Gloria's on 1st Avenue since day one. Tonight we split the seafood fajitas with a side tamale and a jumbo margarita. The food and the Marg were both a five star. Holly was our waitress and went above and beyond. She checked on us multiple times. Very personable and experienced! Over the years they have had ups and downs but even in the downs the food and the margs were good. Not always a 5, but never under a full 3. They went through the 2008 flood and survived. They are still around for a reason. ”
