Shout out to La Hacienda in Derby just off K-15. Wife and I stopped by for lunch today 04/04/26 and was pleasantly surprised by the taste, quality and quantity of each of our meals. Our meal began with the customary chips and salsa and we added a small queso which was more than the both of us can eat in one setting even though we tried our best. She ordered 1 chicken enchilada, rice and beans off the lunch menu. I ordered an enchilada and burrito off the pick two or three items with rice and beans included. The atmosphere was quiet and calm, our order collection technician was absolutely amazing and attentive from start to finish. To be completely honest our first consideration for Mexican inspired fare today was Casa Martinez (a long time family fav) but we decided to try something new/not new. We had talked about trying La Hacienda for years but just couldn't break the habit forming food at Casa M. I'm very happy we stepped out of the norm and make the visit. Another Derby gem to add to the rotation. Great job to all who helped to provide such a memorable meal! We will be back. read more

Our experience was so bad I should've just walked out! Our waitress looked like he was on crack, had to ask for straws, napkins, brought out dirty plates, he removed his oven mitts and put them between his legs to hold them... just bad... read more

Food: Slightly under-salted but good overall. Their menu is vast and it seems like they pull from all over Mexico to check a lot of boxes culturally. The salsa was so mild - like extra mild - so we asked if there was a hotter version and they obliged. The quesabirria was good and the enchiladas were also. The chips are little thick for my liking but overall I would go back. Service: The waitress was all over the place and we had to find her to get our check paid but she refilled our beverages and was nice enough to be going on with. Ambiance: The vibe was touristy Mexican- like but in a slightly good way. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. It doesn't feel like a traditional Mexican spot but it also doesn't feel like a fast food Mexican place either. The wall art was interesting and more nouveau than other Mexican spots I have visited but not unappealing. The music was a nice mix of traditional bolero and newer Latino pop. read more

We had a carryout order. We ordered the Queso Fundido. It was the consistency of water. It was very busy when we picked it up. I suspect they watered the dip down to make it stretch further due to the high volume of business. I had quesadillas. They were subpar. The best thing about the dinner were the tortilla chips. We haven't gone to LA Hacienda for awhile as the last time we went we didn't think it was that great. We thought we'd give it another try. I won't be going back read more

WARNING!! If you order an enchilada dish from this place it does not include beans. For some odd reason unlike any other Mexican place in the entire country.... This place does not include beans! Also, there were about two whole bites of rice in there. read more

Ordered a fajita quesadilla for lunch.... Go to pick it up and it was the dinner one cause apparently you have to specify which one (makes no sense beings it was 11:50am. When I phoned in order. Get back to the office. No sour cream, the smallest dollop of guacamole and the quesadilla was falling apart. There was hardly any cheese on it to keep it together. To top it off they didn't even cut it. So basically got a fajita veggies chicken and a tortilla...... read more

La Hacienda - Yep no cheese at all not sure how you call this a quesadilla Fajita Quesadilla-Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Derby, Kansas

They used to be really good until they started buying all their products pre-frozen, I asked for no onions in the beef, but they could not accommodate because it comes that way frozen. Overall, I would give this place 2 to 3 stars. The staff isn't all that great either. I feel employees have been working there so long they've got that,I don't care attitude. I'm in my grandmother complained about something not right they like to argue with her so that's another star lost Customer should always be right. read more

Excellent Service. The food was fantastic! The La Hacienda bowl was delicious. My husband had the Pablano dip--that was a meal in itself! We will be back!! read more

Ordered: Arroz con pollo and Margarita. The restaurant is large and good for large groups. It was recommended for the margaritas they offer. The service was fairly quick considering it was midday Saturday. My first margarita had red flakes and I requested to have it changed thinking it's just a small error. When two other drinks at my table add flakes, I asked what was happening. The waiter explained it was the tajin from the fruits, which left me a bit confused since it wasn't spiced margaritas. The other ladies did like their drink. I am always wary of waiters not using a note pad. I was not surprised when my waiter had orders incorrect for our table of 8. The best part of the meal was the chips and salsa. The chicken was okay but salty. I'm sure I can find another Mexican restaurant while here. This is one-stop for me. Overall just an okay meal. read more

They took the drink order, drinks arrive, no one ever returned to take the food order. We paid drink bill and left after about half an hour. read more

Good food but they don't have any mild sauce. Sometimes the heat takes away from the taste

Always fresh ingredients and serviced nice and hot. Atmosphere is cheerful & yet not too loud. Wonderful service each time. read more

La Hacienda was the first restaurant I visited since the restaurants re-opened during phase 1 of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The service was outstanding and the restaurant did a very good job at social distancing. I really enjoyed the food and my dinning experience. The staff was very attentive and friendly, I will definitely return. read more

Had a brand new waiter who didn't have any knowledge about the daily specials!!! Finally had to give up and order something else!!! Felt like he should have been accompanied by a fully trained staff member longer!!! Service was very slow also!!! Atmosphere was fine though!!! Wasn't overly empressed with the food it was run of the mill but was large enough on the quantities!!! read more

How was the food? Not sure cause we sat there for 20 minutes and had no one come by to even take a drink order. Not likely to go back either. I know staffing is a problem for us all everywhere, but saw tons of wait staff walking all over. Very disappointed. Take a snack if you go so you have something to eat. read more

My experience was horrible, I went in to order carry out, at first, I was brushed off by the hostess multiple times, then the "gentleman" that took my order was extremely rude, rushed me to take the order, and cut me off as I was speaking. When I got the food, it had a chemical taste to it and there was barely any cheese (which I specified in the order). I waited quite a while for the order and was glared at multiple times from other employees. This establishment isn't worth the time or price BY FAR! Extremely poor quality and service. read more

Bierriaquesa tacos were delectable. Juicy, crunchy, tasty.....yeah. Queso fundido appetizer with chorizo hit the spot. Jose was handling the whole east side of the restaurant and he did not miss a beat. Service was great. We had a great time. The food tasted great. Bustling atmosphere. We have made this our go to in our hometown. read more

Food was amazing. Love their habanero house sauce one of the best in town. Margaritas are always good and they never short you on alcohol

It first time we though we really liked the food and the service but the second time the food was not as good and the service was almost nonexistent. Our server took our order and we had to ask for silverware, napkins, chips & salsa then, didn't even get a plate for our appetizer. Maybe we had a bad experience but I don't think we will be back. read more

Good isn't that great but the service is always good. Very good customer service but the service is more texmex than authentic

We went out for family dinner There were 3 of us my wife ordered a Chile poblano I ordered beef burrito With nacho cheese sauce, my daughter had homemade guacamole Add steak fajita nachos. My daughter was the only one of us that really enjoyed her meal she said that her steak fajita nachos and homemade guacamole were really good. When we got served the chili poblano it was full of oil and the waiter had spilled the oil across my cellphone on to my table and on to my pants. My meal was unappetizing as the beef was loaded with onion, and the tortilla had a freezer burned taste to it. The chips and salsa was tolerable as the chips tasted good but the salsa tasted like canned pizza sauce. The table next to us was dirty after they wiped it down along with the floors. They get 2 stars because my daughters meal was good. Otherwise, save yourselves the stomach ache. To top it of lf, they charge for the after dinner mints. As bad as the food I had was, those mints should be free. read more

Worst service yet, new to area and checking out local restaurants. The list is long for what was bad. Here's a few. 1. Hair in food, 2. Nearly spilled hot food on wife, 3, the staff was more interested with friends and family of theirs, 4, food was not cook all the way, price was really high. Could have gotten better food and service at taco bell. Advise, Don't go. read more

I love the texas dip. i get it every time i go! always friendly and fast service! They also give a free dessert for your birthday and sing to you which is fun and embarrassing at the same time!! Very clean. definitely a top 10 restaurant! read more

This is an update to touch base oh how they made things right with my co worker. My co-worker took her granddaughter back and they redid her birthday and she was once again happy. Thank La Hacienda for making things right! You may have regain a repeat customer! read more

No no no, A thousand times no! Place is overcrowded don't know why. The meat (beef) is fatty and over done. It tastes like it has been out all day. The cheese sauce is a mass glob of yellow cheese. The salsa is ok nothing special. The wait staff is nice and prompt. The prices are normal for this toe of food and restaurant. I had high hope for this place tired it twice I'm out. Good luck if you elect to go. read more

Meh. Went here with my husband, niece, and her boyfriend. I love carnitas, but not from here. My husband loves carnitas, but barely touched his. Service was so so. read more

I'm pretty upset. The flavor of the Texas Rice was amazing, but the rice to everything else ratio was off. There was barely any rice in my "Texas Rice". I'm also upset because I placed mine and my co-worker's orders online and chose curbside pickup. I'm high-risk/diabetic so try to do curbside as much as possible. I followed all your instructions (texted the number back with a "1") and someone responded saying, "Awesome! We'll be right out!!" and then no one came out. I waited 10 more minutes thinking maybe our food wasn't done yet even though I arrived at the time it said it would be done. Then I went to my email and clicked the "I'm here" button. The webpage told me someone would be out soon with my order. I waited another 5 minutes. No one came outside. So then I called and said "Hi, I was just wondering if my order was ready because I texted the number for curbside and someone said they would be right out." The lady on the phone was very rude and said "No, we don't do that, but your food's been ready. It's sitting on the counter." So I go inside and sure enough, my food is sitting on the counter getting cold. By the time I got back to work, the food had been done for nearly 35 minutes and was cold. If you're not going to do curbside pickup, you should probably not advertise that you're doing it. I'm also frustrated that there's no nutritional information on your website. As a diabetic, this was quite frustrating. I've been a loyal customer for years so I hope you take this feedback and make the necessary changes. Thank you. read more

Decent food but inconsistent and there are some issue with cleanliness (aka a roach on our table). Beats the hell out of Taco Bell.

I came in with my family today and it was one of the worst meals I've had. Meat was soupy , the rice was cold & there was hair in the tacos. read more

The rice is amazing and the Texas dip is crazy good. The rest is meh. (Our waitress was hit and miss. Had to ask other waiters and manager for drinks, napkins and hot salsa as she would forget or something and be out of site. They have crispy flour tacos but not deep fried like I asked for. Disappointed and I was charged for something from the regular menu and not the lunch menu as i had inquired about without her explaining the options.)Won't be back. Food was room temperature. I actually think the food at a close by location is much better and won't mention the name. It's in a shopping mall down the street. read more

My favorite thing here is the Texas dip!!! I've now discovered the Texas rice (the dip served on top off Mexican rice). So good!!!!

Don't like food.chips are cold and thick. Not a clean place. Boring atmosphere. Won't go back.

Love this place. Patty & Jose are wonderful and their staff is very attentive! Table side guacamole is a must!

Today my wife and had the best meal at La Hacienda and the music was very good as well. The manager over extended himself in making the meal right for me. All in all we are happy campers and will return. I hope the music says as it really makes the atmosphere very festive. read more

We haven't been to la hacienda in a while, we just went back today, and some things changed, first off, the salsa was more tomato water than everything else, with some other things thrown in, it made my dad cry, not from being spicy, which it wasn't, but because the acidity took off a layer of tongue meat. The queso had a layer of grease gathering on top, which I thought was not very appealing. The quesadilla was ok, short of all the grease, which could have filled a 5 gallon bucket. The staff was nice. 3 stars. read more

Today we went to La Hacienda in Derby. Located right on K15, they are easy to find. Their menu has entirely too many options and the tacos are scattered all over the place. Some here, some there but not just a page listing what they have. I finally went with 4 tacos. Before I dive into the first taco, I notice that each of the tacos are filled with meat. And I mean full. So we are starting on a positive not. I started with the Pork taco. It was nice and tender but had little flavor. The chicken taco had an interesting flavor. Note that I said interesting, not good, not bad...just interesting. With lime and some salsa, it was almost yummy. I tried the ground beef taco next and the best word to describe it is drippy. Tons of grease leaking everywhere. The steak taco was alright. There was nothing special about it. The flavor was just OK. The meat itself was tender but just lacking in overall deliciousness. The price was fair for a sit down restaurant, $11.14 for 4 tacos, before giving the tip. IF I was in Derby and IF I didn't want to drive to Wichita for better tacos, I would return. They weren't particularly bad but they weren't particularly good. Pretty average all the at around. read more

This my favorite Mexican restaurant! Their salsa is perfect and their chips are always crisp and not too thin. The queso is a queso blanca and it's mouth watering, you can get it poured over about anything on the menu. The also have table side guacamole, so good. Also, the bar here is beautiful. Try the Volcan!!! read more
