The food was not bad. But even good food doesn't make up for the service. The service was so bad ... that is had to force myself to leave a tip. Avoid if you have other options that interest you. read more

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant - Special Rice Bowl with steak. - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Was here on 5/5/26 Service: Service was fast and efficient. They even had complimentary tequila shots on 5/5 ... 4/5 Atmosphere: This place is decorated in a very day of the dead theme. Very interesting 4/5 Food: The salsa and chips were spot on and the carnitas rocked. I'm surprised this place has such low Yelp ratings 3.5/5 Overall 4/5 read more

I am unsure why the low reviews place was good has complimentary chips and salsa unlike many Mexican eateries nearby . Steak tacos were good with plenty of steak! Server was great no issues and the fajitas that were split by two had enough portions for left overs! Definitely a come back location! read more

Our party of five stopped here for some lunch specials. All were excellent. Highly recommending the three "dips" to share: awesome guacamole, good-but-basic queso, and outstanding queso-bean dip. My wife and I each had a basic lime margarita on ice. It was a good marg. Service was over-the-top fantastic! I believe the manager (possibly owner) waited on us. read more

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant - Margaritas!! - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

I don't know where to start...the service was terrible. We had to go up and ask for them to get our drink order!!! We had sat there for 15 minutes and they weren't even busy. The food was not good either I got the trio enchiladas and the chipotle sauce on one was starchy and pasty. I don't think we will be coming back read more

love the food and drinks. Stopped by for a quick snack and the baiting tacos are amazing.

Amazing food, service and ambience!! The restaurant is beautiful inside, and the menu is great, highly recommend!! I think they recently renovated. Very accommodating staff!! read more

March 29,2024 & August 24,2024 Hubby and I came here twice the first time was a late lunch as we were in town and a local merchant sent us here. We had the large margaritas and they were phenomenal as was the Chile Relleno. Hubby thought it was the greatest Mexican restaurant. All I know was everything was great including the service. Second visit this past Saturday night was the opposite we were sat in a booth in a corner that I could not sit on one side as there was no room. So I sat next to my husband. The visuals were bleak from this corner spot. The chips and salsa were ok and hubby ordered a pitcher of margaritas. At first sip they were sweet but definitely no alcohol. We flagged down our server who had earbuds in this ears. I couldn't tell if he was getting guidance on what to do from the kitchen or listening to music. Either way he seemed disengaged. Ordered the Chile Relleno this time unlike the last the chef decided to dump chili powder in the refried beans so they were inedible. The peppers were ok it's just I really enjoy eating the three together the peppers the rice and the refried beans. Hubby did get the pitcher removed from the check and drank water instead since new drinks weren't an option. Would I come back? It's debatable definitely a lot of other Mexican restaurants to chose from closer to home. Time will tell. read more

The new layout is so big and beautiful! We haven't been in years( moved to FL) and stopped by when in town! It was our old local favorite so it was great to be able to come back! The food was still delicious and the restaurant looked so nice! Service was fabulous and super quick! So glad that it still felt the same coming back! read more

Unfortunately it's hit ir miss. First time I was there nice portions, good food. Then I took a group there and everyone was happy. Last few times back portions are smaller. Keep the portions and raise the price. Inconsistency kills restaurants. read more

I went to LaHacienda Bluffton SC to meet other family members for dinner, from the time we walked in we were starred down as if we walked into the wrong establishment (like the little boy did on Madeas College Trip). Members of my family and I felt uncomfortable and unwanted. If you know me I was ready to leave. The customer service was the worse I have yet to encounter. They rolled eyes and was all out rude. Our waitress told us "several" times that if we stayed, our food would not be out for two hours and we sat there contemplating on another restaurant as the waitress kept coming back ensuring us that it would be a long time and he was frustrated in his deliverance I'm sure because we didn't leave yet. We decided to leave and they were standing in a small huddle in the back of the restaurant whispering and watching us get up to leave while smiling. I walked over to the bar and they proceeded to watch me and look at each other to see I guess who wanted to speak with me. When the girl finally came I asked for a manager and here comes our waitress. I turned to him and asked if a manager was there I could speak to since the girl was confused on answering. He says yes and I said well can I speak with him and he retracted his answer and said he's busy but can I help you with a smirk on his face. One of my family members said it's ok, we are leaving so I walked off from him. I say that to say this, that was my first and last time going there. I will never spend my money with such an establishment where they clearly show they didn't care for you being there. Ive heard stories and would defend them because I had never encountered nasty Latinos until this evening. I guess you can say they showed their true colors on how they truly feel which is absolutely disgusting behavior for business. I can't make anyone stop spending their money where they choose but as for me and mine, it's a simple, quick and easy NO for us. Once is enough to understand where you're not welcome!! *Im grateful for LaHacienda of Bluffton SC for showing me and my family exactly who and how you are!! read more

Came for lunch today, brought my wife and two of our grandchildren at 1:45. Place a quarter full, two servers, serve was a little slow, but ok. Ordered the lunch 14 and my wife ordered the lunch number 20. After a while, we received our meals, the chicken and steak were tiny charred beyond recognition pieces, black and tasteless. Like the cook put all his scrap leftover crap in our meal. Never going back, paid the bill, left the garbage for the cook, hope he likes it. read more

Great food, beautiful art on the walls with nice music playing and our waitress was magnificent. 2nd time here and loved it both times read more

Food was good and servers were kind! Lots of options. Didn't love how they charge for their hot and green salsas or the jalapeños with the Queso but overall good experience! read more

Everything was bad! It was my first time and they had terrible Mexican definitely not true Mexican at all in the slightest. On top of that my HUSBAND AND I BOTH THREW UP AFTER. And then the waitress was great until the end and said "sum sum, I need to give you the check now". And I was just like ok wtv and yes my butt still ordered dessert cuz really why do you need the check who knows. So embarrassing on how they represent Mexicans food and service ‍ read more

Love this place. Food is great, prices are right and service is quick. I highly recommend you try it.

The food was absolutely fine but the service is atrocious. I sat at the bar and am a bartender myself but this was ridiculous. Terrible attitude and wait time for taking order, refills, etc was as bad as it gets. I literally never do this as I have worked F&B forever but this was ridiculous. I give most places and people the benefit of the doubt but this experience had no excuses.. the bar was literally EMPTY! -1/5 stars. read more

The food was better and the portions were definitely more generous before their remodel. I placed a carry out order and got halfway home before I realized one of the key elements to the dinner was missing. Had to drive back and received no apologies for the error. Very disappointed in the portion size. I will not be returning. read more

Should have checked the reviews...yikes. This was truly embarrassing food. I wont' bother telling you what we had, but Taco Bell is way way better. And fresher. I don't know who is cooking this food but they surely don't know how to cook. read more

Pickled Jalepenos, Pace Picante Salsa from the jar, store-bought guacamole, cold beans. Nothing about this place is authentic, or quality. Yet they charge like it's an authentic quality restaurant. They handed my daughter a plate full of French fries and said "here's your chicken," forgetting the chicken entirely. My wife ordered a Coke, which came out nice and flat. We saw our waitress twice; once to take our order, the other to deliver the "food." Will not be eating here again. read more

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant - Store bought jalapeños - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Good food. Good service. Got the steak fajita fries they tasted good. The quest had jalapeños tasted good.

Es el peor restaurante en el que estado el manger no saluda ni mm sonríe si uno quede quedarse el se esconde y hace que no habla ni inglés ni español José por que ponen gente que ni de mesero sirve y lo dejan de encargado read more

Stopped by with my girl for a quick lunch. Service was ok, ordered enchiladas verdes and they were honestly terrible. Rice overheated and old, same thing with the beans. Enchiladas were more tomatillo than chicken. Server stilled charged us and said they will not take it out of their bill. Asked to speak with a manager and he said the same thing. I will give it 0 stars if I could but the lowest it lets me do is 1 read more

Reheated frozen food. Poor quality. Dry chicken drowning in bottled sauce. Avoid this place. read more

Not impressed with the remodel or food. Food horrible and the atmosphere is more for instagramers to pose and post. No thank you!

This is what they call a side salad. Also their sour cream is watered down. I would not recommend this place. Happy cinco de mayó read more

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant - Side salad - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Wow- I might be the only review over 2 stars La Hacienda has ever had. If i had read reviews first, I would not have come here! But im staying at the hotel next door so here I am. It wasn't THAT bad, y'all. The food I ordered was good. I had the avocado salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was tender and well seasoned and they were generous with the avocado. I also had a Sope with carnitas which was really good! The service was a little slow, but I did not have any problems and my server was friendly and attentive. The margarita was good even though they put a cherry and a lemon in it...? The kicker- I listened to the rap music they were playing in the kitchen and heard someone yelling at the cooks in Spanish for most of my meal. Lol. I might eat here again but probably would not make a special trip to come back. read more

The food was bland and warm. Overtopped with condiments, but nice service. Our waitress was nice but seemed to be in a hurry. The food is ok but they charge extra even for a piece of lime! And food was just OK! From all the other average TEX / MEX restaurants in Bluffton this is my least favorite one. read more

Yeah, really doesn't look like much in a strip shopping center, but..... The people are friendly, the food is good and the drinks are delicious and a great deal. We stopped in one evening, having had our fill of seafood on Hilton Head Island, just for some drinks. We had frozen Texas margaritas with Grand Marnier, like we do at our watering spot at home. The bartender (Isabel) did them up right! And even with premium spirits, they were only $7!!!. The food is good as well, as we found out when we returned the following day. Good food, great value, our go to place in Bluffton/Hilton Head! read more

This is my new favorite local Mexican restaurant! The service was excellent, the mango margaritas were out of this world (probably the best I have ever had), and the food was delicious. There are not enough good things to say about this place... it was top notch and I cannot wait to go back soon! read more

When you advertise that you close at 10:00 PM, but you stop serving food 20 min earlier you should probably advertise you close at 9:40.

Well the pollo relleno chicken was good and the veggies was plentiful. The cheeses sauce was watery. I would prefer melted cheese. The bbq nachos were plentiful yet good. Made for 2 ppl instead of 1. Dining outside is easy. read more

I have been to La Hacienda a handful of times while in Bluffton. One thing that stands out about this restaurant is the decor. The tables and chairs are beautiful. I ordered a large margarita and it was good. Chips and salsa are complimentary. The menu has plenty of options to choose from. The servers all appear to be bilingual and have a good understanding of the menu. I ordered the chef steak. The food was out very quickly and it was great. The salsa was spicy as requested. The portions are very big. Please note you will be charged for everything. We asked for extra limes it was .85 cents extra and tomatillo sauce was 1.00 extra. The few extra dollars added to the bill was not an issue. Any other Mexican restaurant I have been to things like this were free. read more

Server seemed not really interested, and I'm pretty sure the only seasoning the taco I had was the Cholula I put on it. I would rather have taco bell. read more

We just stopped in for lunch. They are doing takeout only, but there was plenty of food, it was fresh and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Love that they care enough about their customers to wear a mask even though the contact was brief. read more

Not the cleanest looking place. The menu is so big you need a half hour just to go through it. The food was seriously tasteless. I ordered the "Texas Fajita". The few small shrimp were overcooked and rubbery; the "steak" looked like a dog chewed it first and the chicken was....I'm not sure it was chicken. I tried to spice it up with hot sauce but it didn't work. Skip this place and save your money. You'll find better elsewhere. read more

Our experience at this restaurant was soooooo bad only thing we really enjoy was out waitress- I had some sort of grill chicken w veggies- chicken had no flavor and it was very plain- 50% was all onions and not enough veggies- rice was very dry and it seem like it was put out on a microwave- it came w some salsa ranch dressing not soooo good- only top over a salad. read more

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

A mediocre Mexican restaurant at best. Coming from Los Angeles where I get authentic Mexican food any day of the week. I had to settle for salty, cheesy, Americanized Mexican. The best thing about this place was the chips and salsa. If I would've had a cocktail, maybe the food would suffice. Lol. To be honest the bacon wrapped hot dogs they sell on the corner here in LA are better. I over heard some customers saying something about how it was better when his brother was involved. I don't know about that as I was visiting for vacation. read more

Used to be a great place. One time no one came to take our order after 20 min. Today, cheese dip tasted like milk and was chunky, order was wrong and service was really slow. People are walking in and walking out because no one is here to seat them. Sad because we really enjoyed this spot in the past. read more

WORST RESTAURANT EVER! I WISH THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR ZERO STARTS Chips were bad and salty AF. We asked to speak to the manager and he started giving us an attitude. They are really bad at their customer service. Will never come back here. read more
