Overall, this place was fine. It was clean and there was no line when we went to order. The guy who took our order was nice. The queso was good, my kids liked it. The guacamole may have been made fresh that day, but it definitely wasn't made to order. I prefer more chunks in my guacamole though. The fajitas were okay, the steak was pretty sparse and seemed like edges of steak or just shredded steak perhaps. I forgot to take a picture because I was hungry by the time it came out. read more

So good and friendly! After a long day of moving, we were looking for something delicious to end the day with, we found it at Hacienda. I had the fajita chicken chimichanga and my friend had the chicken mole. Oh my we licked the plates clean. The crew working were very friendly and attentive. Our drinks never ran out, but when my salsa did run out, it was refilled super quick. I'll definitely be back. read more

Excellent food and a good price! My meal was freshly made, very tasty, cooked well, and a good value!

Since I live in a rural area I am often task to pick up lunch or dinner. I can't even get food delivery to my house. When I was done with my errands I sat in the parking lot in Lakeland trying to figure out my choices in Bartow. I do this so I can order in advance, pick my food & by the time I get home it's not cold. I went on my Yelp app and enter my city and got a list of places. This restaurant is family run & own. The kids are taking your orders, serving your food, & ringing you up. I order carne asada & the giant burrito. The burrito was huge. My asada came with rice, bean, freshly made tortillas. You have a choice of corn or flour tortillas. I also got guacamole. The giant burrito comes with bean & sour cream. You also get a bag of chips. Which was nice touch cause other places charge extra. I felt my meal was made fresh. I felt my guacamole tasted like it came out of a can. Not fresh at all. My husband only ate half his burrito since it was huge. He ate the rest for lunch. I am so glad I got food from this place it was a nice change to other places I normally get. read more

Hacienda Mexico - These are the specials sorry I wrote them on my take ho.e box. But you get the just of it. - Mexican Near Me - Bartow, Florida

First time eating in downtown bartow after having read about some great authentic Mexican food. This was not the place we heard of. Came at dinner time on a Saturday and there was only a handful of diners. That should have been our first clue. Those that were there were seated outdoors, which is likely the best part of this establishment. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I had a dinner duo with an enchilada and chile relleno. The rice wasn't cooked thoroughly and was dry. All the food was warm, not hot. You can see the cheese isn't ooey are you gooey melted. Service was fine, but I know that they have a service fee for both credit and debit card at the server did not mention it at the point of sale. Would not need to return here. read more

Friendly staff, great location, vast menu, and decent prices. However we found the food to be a bit bland. We had the chicken nachos supreme without guacamole. The complimentary nachos and salsa were okay but the mild salsa tasted like ketchup. read more

Good food. Reasonable Prices. Fast friendly service. Stopped in for lunch and was immediately greeted with complimentary chips and mild house salsa. Ordered the tamales with rice (no beans). The tamales (2 per order) were very good. Salsa needed a little salt. I would come back. Meal with drink was $10 read more

Marginally okay Mexican food and decent service. It was me and four preteens for an early dinner on our return to Vero Beach. Debating whether to leave two or three stars, I decided upon the former due to several undisclosed upcharges on the final check. Two of the preteens ordered the kids cheeseburger, with French Fries. Burgers were overcooked and fries were cold. The offered cheese dip had an undisclosed upcharge of $2.00, and an undisclosed upcharge of $1.00 "per person" - a charge that was not added to the adult meals. A third preteen ordered the kid quesa polio that had the same upcharges for a marginally okay meal. The last of the preteens ordered an adult meal - a Burrito Mexicano and the Tortilla soup. Soup was tasteless and seemed to have a greasy film across the top of the bowl. Burrito was tasty and properly prepared. My order was simple - a bowl of Carne Estilo Jalisco soup. Steak taco meat, pinto beans, grilled onions and cilantro, served in a green broth, with a side of corn tortillas. Served warm - rather than hot - I was not particularly impressed. While the soup itself had a decent flavor, it was served warm with a very well-done steak meat. Menu offered $1.50 kids drinks - they were charged $2.49 for iced tea and $2.99 for soda. Admittedly, I did not notice this until reviewing the final check later that evening upon arriving home. Plenty of chips and picante while awaiting the meal and Carolina was a polite and friendly server. Kids, though, would have been better off ordering an adult meal as it would have been less expensive, absent the $3.00 in upcharges per meal. read more

We stopped in for lunch today and let me tell you, this place was fantastic!! No matter what you want, they will make it! They will modify any item on their menu to suite you.

We stopped in because we were passing through Bartow- Super cute restaurant on main street. We got the fajitas and taquitos. The staff was so friendly and attentive and the food was super fresh and well seasoned. The prices are also good. We will definitely eat here every time we are close by! read more

Order takeout from this restaurant on several occasions on a regular basis and they always do a great job. Food is fresh orders are complete. Great job. read more

The chips are the way I like them and warm. One downfall is the chips and salsa are not unlimited. The first bowl is free but additional ones a a dollar and the salsa is only half full. I have the enchilada verde which was good. The beef was tender and tasty but no side although the portions were large I have to say. My friend had the pick 2 which was a taco and a burrito as her choices, again the portions were big but she ordered the chicken burrito but received beef. The service was fast and friendly and again the food was good but I am looking for the wow factor. Overall good but not spectacular. read more

I'm torn between giving Hacienda 2 or 3 stars. I've only been here twice, but I'll give it 3 since, I agree, 1. the salsa is amazing, 2. so are the mango margaritas and 3. OMG what is this sopapilla?! Both times, the food came out suspiciously quick, my first experience; service was great, I was the only person in the place however, servers were attentive and helpful. I think I ordered badly that night for my taste. I got the chicken chimichanga, it was large and filled with mixed meat chicken. I was a little puzzled by the flavor, I couldn't tell if it was mixed both white and dark meat flavor or if it tasted microwaved to me. However I would go there for the Sopapilla anytime, delicious fried dough chips drizzled with honey and Cinnamon and served with vanilla ice cream! Awesome! My second experience I came with a group of 7, although there were a lot of people this Monday night, not a lot were eating, apparently they host Monday night poker. My food was just ok, I tried the enchiladas, one beef, one chicken, one bean and one cheese, all okay except the cheese was hardened, not melty gooey goodness I'd expect of Mexican food. This waitress had a hard time understanding and was not very attentive, as we got annoyed waiting for her to come back to take our desert order so we left and got Rita's Ice Custard Happiness instead. no sopapilla this time:( read more

I've visited Hacienda Mexico on multiple occasions and have always had a good experience. The restaurant serves an extensive number of Mexican dishes at reasonable prices. On my most recent visit I had the Mole Chicken and it was delicious. The Chicken was very tender, the mole sauce was flavorful, and the complimentary chips and salsa was addictive (I asked for refills at least three times). On previous occasions I tried the Mole Enchiladas which were also delicious. read more

Amazing Drinks, amazing service, decent food menu, a lot of options for you to choose. Friendly staff, really good vibe.

On lunch break 3/18. Seated on patio. Took 45 minutes to get food and it was wrong. Had to get box, check and complained to waitress (which I had to get twice to take our order) that I was not impressed with restaurant and it was also my and my coworker 1st time there and we wouldn't be back. She started speaking in Spanish to herself and I'm assuming she was cussing or complaining about my comments to her. Very rude and unprofessional and salad (that I ate later) was small and nothing impressive. Wasted my time and money... two things I didn't have much of! Do better! read more

This restaurant is half way to my trailer, and I can bring my dog along to eat outside. This is why I stopped in the first place. Now, let me tell you why I'm coming back. My wife was Mexican in another life. Mexican food is not my favorite, but I'll eat it. I can tell the difference between real Mexican food and Chilis. This place is the real deal. The sauce they bring you with the chips is bland. Just right for the weak stomached gringos. Ask them to bring you the "good stuff". Keep the Rolaids handy. Service was ok. We were seated outside and the waitress didn't come to check up on us after bringing the meal. You know, the "is everything OK" check. But she was pleasant and we really didn't need anything. My wife ordered veggie fajitas, and they looked very nice. I ordered a "sincronizada", which tells me this was an authentic Mexican restaurant. It's a tortilla sandwich. Yum. I'm coming back. The menu is quite extensive and they have many other traditional favorites, like tortas. read more

Great, small spot to get some Mexican food. I had the vegetarian fajitas and it was absolutely killer with the rice and beans. Although I don't live near here, I hope to get some fajitas again. read more

I was saddened when the food was served. It was as if someone just threw ingredients together. Canned chicken does not make the best enchilada. No enchilada sauce, only melted cheese. The rice was over cooked. The server was very friendly and nice, but they need to improve what comes out of the kitchen. read more

No sense of customer service. They took down the wrong order and instead of apologizing and suggesting an vegetarian friendly alternative they shrugged it off and laughed. Now I understand why the restaurant is empty. read more

An update was long over-due. Frequent digestive woes have happened a little too frequently at this place. Also what horribly rude people here! Yes I know you need to restock your restaurant, but blocking Main St. is not the way to do it. And making gestures with your hands when 8 cars are honking isn't really the right response either. read more

This was a fine Mexican food restaurant decorated in fiesta colors with nice murals to make it "homey". Waitresses are in colorful embroidered blouses. The service and staff was 5-star--fast, accurate, efficient, knowledgeable of the menu and smiling. I love that my waitress had the rare sense of timing--to keep the drink glass filled and bring the check in a timely fashion. The place was bustling with over 35 patrons and EVERYONE working appeared happy and quick. Food came out fast which was great for the working crowd. It made me wonder about what was made in advance and reheated. The food was typical Mexican--rice and beans tasted like everywhere else, nothing "stellar". Complimentary chips and salsa tasted great. Coke products. I ordered the chile relleno and a bean burrito "dual combo" which came with rice. Here, the relleno comes as cheese in a banana pepper on top of a meat if you want the meat. You can upgrade for 50 cents to a poblano pepper but they can't guarantee hot or mild. (All other rellenos I've had are mild poblano.) It was flavorful but on the small side. The burrito was like any other, smothered in sauce and cheese. The price for two was $8.74 with lunch drink included. This was not a bad "platter" price. Delicious sizzling fajita platters came out (steak & chicken) and the tortillas looked wonderfully soft. They had five soups I'd love to try. Most dishes were around $10. Didn't see a "sides" option like other restaurants. Despite super service, my "flat" 3 star rating indicates the food as average-- I had stomach discomfort throughout the afternoon that post-adjusted the rating as only "ok". read more

Street Tacos were excellent, wife got a tamale and a chile rallenos in chicken. Very good food, fast easy and cheap!! Very food service, really liked all aspects of the meal!! read more

Ordered the Mole Enchiladas. Delicious. Customer service was great. Absolutely no complaints. Come eat!!!

Traveling through this town and was looking for a Mexican food restaurant. Yelped this place a mile or so off the highway so we gave it a try. Ordered Shredded beef flautas, super nachos, & a kids chicken burrito. The flautas were very good. The meat was excellent and the deep fried tortillas were good. The nachos were very plain & had ground beef and hardly anything other than lettuce, tomato, & guacamole. Kids burrito had white meat chicken and he liked it. The rice and beans were flavorful. The Horchata or rice water was too weak and no consistency or flavor. They had Mexican beers but this time I didn't indulge. The service was really good from a nice server. Go back again? Probably not.....but it was a good find on the road. read more

The food is exceptional, but the service on a Saturday was horrible. I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but I'm telling you this I loved my meal. My companions did also and would go back. I wish someone would step in and tell them that their service needs a lot of work. read more

My hubby and I work downtown near the restaurant and I can say we eat there almost every week. Best authentic mexican food around. Love, love this place!! read more

I came here today excited to have a great meal, like many times before. I ordered the lunch special, a taco salad. I also ordered an Horchata to drink. My food arrived quickly and I was greeted by a one to two Roach Nymphs (baby roaches) on my food. They were crawling in and out of my olives. Because of the dim lighting, I wasn't sure at first what it was. The young man rapidly assured me it was an ant, as if to lure my attention from the cold hard reality. But I remained focused and I could clearly see what is was. I uttered it is a roach and he offered to bring me another one, salad that is. I told him not to bring me anything as I know baby roaches hatch by the thousands. The young man later returned to inform me that he took the taco salad off my bill, as if he was doing me a favor. I did not drink my Horchata nor my water once I became aware of the full time residents. The restaurant did not offer to comp my drink not did I ask. I simply paid and have chosen to inform you fine folks so you can prevent having an extra crispy taco salad. I would rate zero if it were possible. P.S. The men's bathroom was dark but clean and the toilet sticks. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant on town. Staff is always friendly and food is always on point.

Decent little Mexican place in Bartow, nothing extraordinary, but if you are in town it's good for a quick meal. Queso Fundido was good, and the plain old taco's were as well, fajita's got decent feedback too; service is very good and attentive. read more

4 of us dined here tonight for the first time and found it quite delightful. The atmosphere is warm and festive at the same time. We were greeted warmly and quickly with warm chips and excellent fresh salsa. We all ordered something different, chimichanga , quesadilla, fajita burrito, and tamale and chili relleno. Everything was hot and delicious! Service was very good and the price very reasonable. We all recommend this place and plan on returning soon read more
