For my birthday yesterday, my husband suggested we try Hacienda San Rafael (not sure why it's just called Hacienda on Yelp). We had a commitment for the evening, so we went for "Linner," between lunch and dinner time. It was a quiet time, which worked out well for us, as we received plenty of attention from Guillermo, who I believe is the owner. We were there during a time when we could order off the brunch, lunch, or entree menu. Lots of choices! My husband ordered the flautas with beef (they have chicken listed on the menu, but since everything is from scratch, they were able to adjust). He declared them delicious. He said they were nice and crispy, and he loved the sauce! I knew before I arrived that I wanted Mole enchiladas. They have four different kinds of enchiladas with a choice of fillings: chicken, pork, beef, or cheese. I chose pork. These enchiladas were served with the mole on top, a very pretty presentation. He told us that the mole recipe came from his mother! And, they were delicious. Both meals came with a nice little dinner salad. And, because it was my birthday, Guillermo gave me dessert. I had flan, which is served on top of a sauce. I think he said it was passion fruit. Complex flavors from start to finish! The flan had a delicious coconut flavor. Both my husband and I savored it. There are so many items on their menu that I want to try, to see their own creative twist. They blend different Latin American flavors, so it's a Latin fusion menu. Can't wait to go back! read more

I went here with two other people and so we tried about 6 different options and all were quite good. The flavors and execution were there and the service was okay the only thing keeping this from a 5 star is that the portions were quite small for the price but maybe that's a good thing because it makes you want to come back and try them again. read more

Fernanda, was friendly and very informative on the menu. We started with the empandas ground beef, chicken and corn with cheese a ramakin with chimichuri, very distinct flavor with aji pepper. They were all fantastic. The dough was very crispy but soft and delicious, as was the fillings. I had the enchiladas de suiza, recommended by Fernanda. The ground beef enchilada had diced carrots and potatoes. Yummm! The chicken one was so moist and tender, the creamy sauce was full of flavor with chilies, cilantro, tomatillo, can't forget the Swiss cheese. On a bed of Spanish rice and beans. What a fantastic flavor. The dining area seemed like a farm house. I had a michilada with Modelo. Patty had two tacos, Rajas with corn and cheese, trompo de perco complex flavor palette, delicious according to Patty. I didn't get a bite. See the picture. I also have a picture of Victor the Chef. read more

Stupendous! This new little place is charming and delicious. Everything we tried was so well made and tasty! We had tostones to start and they were so flavorful, I inhaled mine! We shared ribeye and sweet potato tacos and an mole/suiza enchilada plate. All were amazing, I liked the sweet potato tacos best. We were stuffed so we took most of the enchilada home and had flan for dessert, which was just the right texture. Our server was also a doll, talked us through all the menu items with lots of great input and suggestions! Don't miss out on this place! read more

You'll find an eclectic mix of dining spaces that reflect the variety you'll find on their menu. Pair that with a great vibe the staff bring and you're in for a great meal. Tastes are paired well and aren't something I've found anywhere else. I cant wait to come back read more

So glad we stopped in yesterday. Christmas Eve day the place we thought we were going to was closed so we took a chance here and it worked out so well. We just wanted a small lunch so we ordered lightly. I had a carne asada taco and a beef pupusa and my husband had the ribeye taco and a carnitas arepa. All of that was so special. Tasty bits of flavor and tender masa made for a special lunch. With that in mind my husband just had to order the Flan. Very happy that he did. He has been searching for a flan as good as one in North Denver for over 30 years. Yesterday he found it here. We don't live in Longmont but will stop there whenever we can. I wish I had taken photos of the menu so I could decide what to order next time. read more

My friend and I were tired and hungry after shopping. At 7:30 we pulled in to the new restaurant, Hacienda San Raphael. So happy we did! We were greeted at the door by the owner, Guillermo and his invited in to the quirky and lovely space with mismatched tables and dishes. The food and service are the real stars. We ordered a rib eye taco to died for. Melt in your mouth! And a causas de pollo (crispy flavorful mashed potatoes with chicken on top) so yummy. Just enough spice. We also shared plantain empanadas for dessert. Jose was our server. What a wonderful young man. The chef, Raphael, came out to check on us. Fab service and great food! I'm heading back again with another friend next Wednesday! read more

Food was delicious. It was so nice to get Latin food that wasn't just Mexican. It's such a fun home vibe. We can wait to go back.

The food was beyond authentic and amazing. Started with Tamales. So sweet and savory. I had the shredded beef enchiladas with a red sauce. The best I've had. My hubby had a ribeye taco that he said was the best he's had. Everything was so good. This place will only be a secret for a very limited time. Drinks and service was above and beyond. read more

Excellent atmosphere, the service was exceptional and the food was absolutely delicious. If you haven't been here, you're missing out!

Amazing find! Unique atmosphere. Varied menu and excellent food. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

rarely write reviews, but this experience deserves a warning. I visited this place this afternoon and waited over an hour and a half for our food. No updates, no apologies, no water refills, no chips or salsa to hold us over -- just silence while multiple tables around us got up and walked out. We stayed hopeful, but that was a mistake. When I finally asked for our food to-go (because we couldn't wait any longer), what I received was completely inedible. I threw it straight in the trash. That's how bad it was. Bland, overpriced, and honestly felt like a slap in the face after the wait and the lack of service. No compensation. No ownership. No care. Terrible food, worse service, and zero effort to make things right. Unfortunate is putting it mildly. I won't be back. Leaving 2 stars because things can always be worst. read more

I wish I had taken photos of the dishes the night I went. This place is exceptional. I went here with my parents a few weeks ago. The proprieter was charming as he told us about the mix of Argentine, Cuban, and South American dishes that they serve, along with the carnitas that they prepare daily. We had an appetizer with plaintains and carnitas that was so good. I tried three of the empanadas. Each one was delicious. My husband is vegetarian and found many choices on the menu, including two different tacos, empanadas, and several other items. My dad tried the enchiladas and the enchilada sauce was pretty special. Presentation and atmosphere were also really great. I can't wait to go back. I expect this place to be difficult to get into soon. Go now while it's still easy to get into. read more

Food was delicious! The waitress was very helpful in explaining items on the menu. Everything was very good!

A new Mexican/South American restaurant that I can highly recommend. We were warmly welcomed and the service was excellent. The food was delicious, far above the typical Mexican offerings. Decor low key, casual and comfortable. A wonderful experience all around and we will certainly be back. The restaurant name is Hacienda San Raphael, not just Hacienda as shown in Yelp and Apple Maps. read more

Great happy hour! The food, service and ambiance were all great. Can't wait to go back!
