    Today Saturday, my husband and I were looking for a place to dine at with our two daughters. Some…read moreplaces are not as kid friendly although my daughters are very well behaved. Anyways.. Hacienda Cazadores, made us feel very welcoming. We were at a table within a minute of checking in at the host table. We were offered indoors or patio area. With the nice weather out we chose outside. Despite that our waiter Mike, continuously continued to make sure we were well taken care of and made us feel very welcoming comfortable. He was very fast paced, we didn't have to wait much for our food. (: The food was amazing & very decent sized even for the kids menu. It was savory, juicy and the right amount of spicy. We got the molcajete, enchiladas, Shrimp/Chicken Quesadillas. We will definitely come back no questions asked. Again, thank you Mike for the wonderful, amazing customer service and hospitality. Waiters/ Waitresses like you are the reason we come back.

    Food was the 5 out 5. Absolute best authentic high end Mexican cuisine…read more Quality of ingredients 5 out 5. Can't go wrong when they use Wagyu and fresh quality ingredients for everything. You can truly taste it in every bite. Service was 10 out 5. Only reason I rate it higher than anything else is because that is what will make me come back time and again to try everything on the menu. The entire staff was exceptional. Above all our waiter made sure to explain what makes this place extraordinary and worth the dining experience. His recommendation of the short ribs was tge perfect choice. Highly highly recommend. Thank you so much Cesar!

The location for this restaurant is great they have the option to eat indoors or outdoors. The accessible option was to eat only outside which could be viewed as inaccessible especially during the cold weather. (Didn't ask if they had a ramp to possible go inside so they might be able to make accommodation) The tables outside were bar height that is a little too high for an electric wheelchair user. Overall the food and ambience was amazing I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Decided to come in over the weekend, the town was extremely crowded, like overly crowded. But the restaurant really wasn't too busy so we decided to eat here. There was maybe 3 or 4 other groups of people there at the time. Our food took over 40 minutes from time of order to receive it. Mind you we didn't get anything fancy. The birria soup was extremely salty and the burger patty was extremely small for the price. We only ended up getting the fries and onion rings pictured because another party decided to leave and were nice enough to offer us their appetizers so they didn't go to waste. Our server was nice but once the place started to get busy we barely saw her. They were definitely short staffed over the busy holiday weekend.

If you dine in, they provide complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were warm, but had no salt or seasoning, and the salsa was pretty spicy. There isn't a salsa bar with different options available. I ordered the: *3 Mini Adobada Tacos: they were decent, but they didn't have that flavorful, authentic street taco taste that reminds you of Mexico. Very mediocre tacos. The restaurant itself is very spacious with plenty of indoor seating. It's also dog friendly, which is a huge plus. They even keep dog treats at the counter! After ordering, they bring your food to your table, and guests bus their own tables afterward. Since I had my two dogs with me, one of the employees was kind enough to clear the table for me. They also serve alcohol, have a complimentary self serve cold water station, and offer an extensive menu with lots of options. Overall, it's a cute spot with excellent customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. Parking can be a little challenging, and while the menu has plenty to choose from, the food didn't quite deliver the authentic Mexican flavors that San Diego is known for.

    This is some of the best Mexican Food I've had in a long time. And this is coming from someone…read morewho's lived in San Diego all of his life (and is now in LA!) Service was amazing, so quick to come out with fresh chips and salsa (FRESH! as in they made the chips in-house... rare trait to come by these days IMO). Quantity of food was incredible. I can't speak for the menudo (dad got this) or for the 3 egg platter (not really sure why my mom got this) but $16 for a carne asada burrito as well as the beans, rice, and veggies on the side was such a steal. Especially in Anza Borrego. I would've thought it would maybe be more expensive since it probably costs a lot to bring out the best ingredients in the desert but somehow they have it all figured out. The carne asada burrito meat was top tier. Smoky flavor, soft with charred edges, so flavorful and overall the quantity of the burrito was way more than I was expecting. Lastly, I'm just so happy my dog got to sit outside with us. They have a shaded patio with a couple tables. I think other pet parents followed suit, as this seems to be a hit for dog-friendly spots here in Anza Borrego. I'd highly recommend. What a great find by me. Go me!! This is truly a hole in the wall that needs more recognition. You won't be let down!

Instead of telling us to take a seat wherever you want he told us to wait while he cleaned a table from a customer that had just left, so we waited patiently and he said please sit here. It was a small table against a wall and between the two other customers. When I asked if we could sit at a small table near the windows he said "no please sit here" Wow! We walked out and gave our money to Carlees which was excellent.

Despite being very busy, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. The space was a bit warm inside, but the incredible food and overall experience made it completely worth it. I had their famous Hotcakes de Elote (corn pancakes), and they were easily my favorite dish of the meal! They were unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also tried their Machaca con Huevo, which was another standout. Everything we ordered was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. Their homemade tortillas and salsa were the perfect finishing touches and added even more authenticity to the meal. The service was excellent -- our waiter was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I also noticed the staff singing "Happy Birthday" to guests a couple of times, making it a great spot for a special celebration. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting Valle de Guadalupe. This is definitely a place worth experiencing for the food, hospitality, and unforgettable flavors!
