    Chile relleno
    Fritzi G.

    Hole in the wall place next to a gas station. It's authentic and basic Mexican food. It's cheap and nothing fancy. Only down side is that there is no alcohol.

    Danielle F.

    The service was quick & friendly, and the breakfast plate and burrito were great! Glad we found this authentic, casual spot to get breakfast (served all day) while we staying at Lake Lanier nearby.

    Absolutely love this place!!! They have the best tacos and sauces in Georgia!! I have yet to find chicken tacos better than theirs. Delicious!!

    Tacos Carne.

    Hands down best tacos I've ever had. So good. The service was awesome and the price is good for the amount of food you get.

    Beef taco

    Taco Jalisco is an amazing authentic taqueria and Mexican spot. Right off of Lee street, its service is awesome and will get you out the door fast. Great prices and a really nice horchata. Please give this taqueria a try!

    Carne asada tacos
    Luke M.

    This place is just incredible. The food is so yummy it almost makes the thought of cardiovascular disease sound nice! The service is lighting quick and the staff is very friendly. I could not recommend this place enough. Top 3 taco spot in Buford, which is saying a lot!

    Mexican Breakfast Platter #SoGood

    This spot was everything I hoped it would be. I added this stop to my bookmarks when I saw the high Yelp ratings. Yelp Community, you did not disappoint on this one! This is an easy to find spot in Buford. It's attached to a convenience store/gas station and laundromat. Every time I have been, parking has been full on the restaurant side, but I've been lucky parking at the laundromat on the other side of the store (hope that's ok - they usually have lots of spots). When I have visited (always on weekend mornings for breakfast), the small restaurant has always had lots of patrons, but we have been able to get a seat right away. Service is quick and super friendly. Scan a QR code for the menu or check out items posted above the counter. They seem to do a brisk take-out business, judging from the constant, fast-moving line at the counter. Every time I go, I get a breakfast platter with eggs and veggies with beans and rice. The tortillas are perfection. And the eggs with jalapenos and added spicy salsas wake me up and get me ready for the day. And I am never disappointed with refried and beans and rice. The last time I visited, I noticed every single table around me ordered the menudo, so I think I have to break out of my routine and order it next time. Thanks for the introduction to this new fave! Excited to try lunch or dinner and the menudo soon!

    Chicken quesadilla with rice & beans
    Ruthy M.

    Initially this place looked sus because it's near a gas station. When I opened the container the presentation was horrible, but let me tell you DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD I EVER TASTED. This place is a small mom and pop restaurant. It's fresh authentic Mexican food. Initially I was upset I only got 2 pieces of quesadilla, but I was fully with just the 2. When you walk in the restaurant you can just smell the aroma. The beans was salty but the rice balances it out the chicken was so flavorful. They're salsa verde sauce isn't really spice Def try this place out guys !

    Steak Burrito
    Ray S.

    Best burritos I've had in a long time!! Simple but damn good!! My coworker and I tried this place during our lunch break while working from our company's R&D lab. Found this place on yelp and saw that it wasn't that far. My coworker who was visiting from Mexico complied that we should give it a try. She got the carne asada taco lunch special and I got the burrito special. Not long after we ordered we got our plates and chowed down. My coworker loved the food and the place is very authentic. I can't wait to go again!! I think every time I come up here I'll need to stop by. Forget Taco Bell ... get ya some Taco Jalisco! Yum yum get ya some.

    Steak, egg, rice, beans, hot sauce (green) with fresh onion & cilantro. Omg so good!
    Brienna O.

    Delicious. Hubby & I were craving breakfast burritos - this place nailed it! Everyone was kind, friendly, checked on us constantly. They have an option to add rice & beans for an extra $1. One of the few places I found that does more than egg & meat in the burrito. Booths were cute & it's a cute spot. Doesn't look like much from the gas station parking lot but it's worth a visit ! We will be back!

    Yvonne A.

    The food hit the spot for us. It was quick & clean. The place was busy. They do a lot of take outs & many locals come here. Their rice & beans were fantastic. Everything on the plate balanced very well together. Would definitely come back!! We also got honeydew aqua Fresca everything came to a total of $26. Really worth it!

As a frequent visitor to their various locations, I walked in with high expectations for both the atmosphere and the kitchen. While the flavors on this visit were a bit of a rollercoaster, the exceptional customer service and stunning interior design make it a standout destination in the local dining scene. Hacienda stays true to its brand with an eye-catching and vibrant interior. The decor is a masterclass in modern Mexican aesthetics. Bold colors, intentional lighting, and a layout that feels both spacious and intimate. I was promptly greeted by a friendly hostess who seated me in a cozy corner booth, perfect for a quick business lunch or a relaxed solo meal. While the food had some misses, the staff at the Buford location is world-class. My server/hostess was super sweet, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. In an era where great service can be hard to find, the team here reminded me why this chain has such a loyal following. It's the kind of hospitality that makes you want to give a place a second chance, even if the kitchen had an off day. I opted for the lunch special accompanied by their signature queso and a pineapple juice. As a fan of the queso at other Hacienda locations, I had high hopes. It's a staple for a reason, though it didn't quite hit the peak flavor I've experienced elsewhere this time around. The salsa was also a bit of a letdown. It lacked that signature zest and kick you expect from authentic Mexican spots, feeling a bit under seasoned. I'd describe the burrito as mid. On the plus side, it was packed with protein, which was great for satisfying a serious hunger, but it lacked the flavor profile I usually associate with Hacienda's recipes. I have to be honest. The pineapple juice was a disappointment. It tasted more like sugar water than fresh fruit, and I'd recommend sticking to their margaritas or water instead. Hacienda in Buford is a beautiful space with a staff that truly cares about the guest experience. While the kitchen didn't quite meet the stellar mark on this particular visit, the protein heavy portions and the vibrant atmosphere still make it a solid choice for a quick lunch near the Mall of Georgia. Because the service was so incredible, I'm definitely open to returning to see if the flavors catch up to the hospitality. #ashsaidit #HaciendaBuford #BufordEats #GwinnettDining #MexicanFoodGA #RestaurantReview

We went last night and let's just say, my socks are still emotionally recovering somewhere on the floor. My husband and I kicked things off with queso and chips. Elite opening act. We closed the night with Tres Leches cake. Show stopping finale. In the middle? Absolute taco poetry. The birria tacos were savory, bold, life affirming. The picanha tacos? A meaty revelation that deserves its own holiday. If tacos wore crowns, these would walk in already kinged. Now, let's talk ambiance. The Christmas decor was basically a warm hug sprinkled with lights and magic. Festive doesn't even begin to cover it. It was like Buddy the Elf got an interior design degree and chose joyful chaos as the theme. Stunning work. We even braved the patio at 26° outside because Rreal Tacos said, "Cold who?" Covered. Heated. Cozy. A vibe so immaculate we almost forgot it was winter and not some enchanted summer night with a heater budget. Our server Victor? Charisma level 10. Attentive, friendly, and clearly a man who knows he's serving tacos capable of changing lives. Killer food, amazing atmosphere, decor that understood the assignment, and service that hit every beat. We didn't just eat dinner, we attended a taco event. Go. Eat. Let Victor guide you. Let the queso warm your soul. Let the Tres Leches heal any problems you were pretending you didn't have. Five stars. No notes. Just tacos.
