The meat had that charbroiled taste to it. It was nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. The tacos were very good as well. They totally pack the steak meat in it. They are very generous with the meat. Never had a taco filled with so much meat. They definitely do not believe in skimpy their dish. I totally give them rave reviews for the amount of meat you get in a taco. The flavor is still there and it's perfect. I had the horchata and it was very good. I drank it up like if it was 100 degrees outside. Highly recommend! Great tasty charbroiled steak meat and very generous with the portions!

Got greeted by a friendly host and even friendlier waitress, both who were accommodating all night. The tacos are pricey, but two will fill you up (and im a big eater). I got the Al pastor and Alambre -- both nearly overflowing with meat, and just the right amount of toppings, with room for salsa. Salsa wasnt up to my spice level, but very tasty. Ate food with a Margarita, which was offered smoked with Mezcal or regular tequila, and that too was a bit pricey, but again, you savored every sip with that tajin covered rim. 10/10, and would recommend for date night. P.S. No pics because everything and smelled looked too good I was so busy eating!

Stopped in for Cinco de Mayo. I was immediately greeted by a really nice guy…read more I wanted to pig out so I ordered a king steak burrito, rice and beans. I even paid $6 for extra meat. The dining area was clean with a large painting on the wall and the tv had the Cubs game on. I received my food and went home. The steak was tender but was lacking flavor. I was also disappointed in the amount of double steak. If this was double I would hate to see what it would have been without it. The salsas were good, red really has some heat, which I loved. The green salsa was herbaceous but had an overpowering citrus taste. The beans were creamy and delicious, they didn't taste burnt. The rice was also lacking a bit of flavor. I added some of the red salsa to it which helped a lot. I would go back, but I'm not in a rush.

Had about 45 minutes to kill so I wandered into this little pub on Davis. Nice enough looking place…read morebut not the right music (too "poppy" for the environment). I couldn't make out the beers on tap so I asked the sad sack behind the bar (he didn't welcome me when I sat down) about the beers. He read off the names of the three (of six) I could see so I ordered one. The other three will forever by a mystery. He pours me a 12 oz. "Cold Time" (produced by local brewery Revolution) in a standard (read "dull") mug and places it in front of me. Then he hands me a menu and tells me it's happy hour for 45 more minutes. I ask if the beer he just poured me is the "rotating draft of the month" -- on the happy hour menu for $5. "No," he says (without explanation). So what I want to know is should I have a) just walked out right then and there, b) told him I wanted to change my order, or c) introduced him to the idea that maybe (just maybe) he might have told me about the happy hour special as soon as I sat down like a normal bartender (I bartended through my 20s).

Who are these people giving this place high ratings?!…read more Jose's Hacienda is located on the 3rd floor in a business building, located between Westfield Old Orchard and Niles North. The building is definitely outdated, and we really enjoyed the old school elevator! The place is very bare bones, and the eatery seemed to be in the building's mail room. The menu offers breakfast items salads, tacos, tortas, burritos, wraps, and chimichangas. We came here for a late lunch, and not sure if there even was a lunch rush, but the staff were already cleaning up to close and no other patrons were on site. We made sure that they were still open, and after redoing a hard yes, we ordered: +a carnitas taco +an al pastor taco +a carne asada taco +and, a carne asada burrito It was probably one of the worst Mexican eateries we've been to, ever. The tacos, in which they looked appetizing, were just not great. The carnitas that we had ordered was some type of an ofal-like protein and was disgusting. They sefinitely got the order incorrect. I wanted to try their chimichanga, but they stated the fryer wasn't working - I'm thinking they already had it turned off for the day and didn't want to start it back up. The burrito itself was awful - it was not even rolled correct and was so loose - it was 75%-80% shredded lettuce, and the bits of carne asada had mostly fat and cartilage. The burrito was also dripping with liquid, most likely from the tomatoes or some weird watered sauce that was drizzled inside. The salsas were fine, but didn't help the food at all. Also, nothing was temperature hot, as it was all lukewarm. You can tell that even reheating things properly wasn't going to happen here. Unfortunately, we lost our appetite quickly, and all the items were tossed. There is a menu up at the counter, and a soda vending machine that seemed to have been unplugged; there was a refrigerator off to the side for a limited selection of drinks. Staff were friendly. The place closes at 3 PM, but should just close at 12:30/1 PM. Obviously, they refuse to offer their full menu past a certain time and seem to have a hard time keeping it open until their posted closing hours.
