Stay away..Fish tacos have no flavor. Chicken burrito is totally boring. Staff is very unhappy and not pleasant to deal with . Restaurant "rules" do not promote customer service and the waitress could care less. Much better food and service at Taco Bell... read more

No frills Mexican Steakhouse. Go for the Ribeye and green chile enchilada with beans and rice. Very tasty cook on the ribeye. Good menu, basic food but doesn't pretend to be anything else. There's a patio out front, but no real tables out there. Maybe a seasonal thing. My service was accomplished and just right. Not overbearing or ignoring me for long periods of time. Helped me find an indoor table with room around it for my service dog. Convenient location just off 40. Would go again if in Moriarity or just passing through read more

So delicious! We found this hidden gem on our way to California and boy it did not disappoint. House made hatch chili salsa had kick and flavor. We had the chicken fajita taco salad and the combination plate! Clean restrooms, great service and fast. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. The staff was rude, unwelcoming, and acted like they didn't even want customers there. On top of that, the food was nasty and not worth the money at all. Save your time and go somewhere that actually knows how to treat people with respect. read more

Amazing service and food, great burgers always friendly and fresh, I prefer it to nachos which is also excellent. Be aware this is real nm chile be ready if you aren't from here get a burger read more

There's not a whole lot of steak places in this part of the world But a friend told us about Hacienda and we were hungry and Edgewood so we drove out to Moriarty and we're very pleasantly surprised. Service was good. The food was amazing. Here's some pictures of our meals and seriously these are not commercial pictures. this is what they this is how they serve it. Highly recommend if you're traveling on 940 to stop in and have a meal. read more

La Hacienda - 10 oz Ribeye with asparagus - Steakhouses Near Me - Moriarty, New Mexico

My family and I wandered in after a long day on the road and we were acutely aware that it was :15 before their stated closing time. I warned my children that they may turn us away as we were walking in the door. I could not have been more wrong! We were welcomed like long lost friends! Our hotel told us they had a full bar, but they do not. Whatever, they had the second wine we requested. The chips and salsa were delicious. The salsa had more heat than expected and it was sooo good. My children ordered cheese enchiladas with red sauce and both complained it was spicy. It had some heat and I asked for a side of sour cream for them. I ordered the combo with the rellano, enchilada, y taco. I asked for the green sauce because we're in NM! It was amazing. So much yum!! We scarfed up our meal and scooted on out of there as soon as possible because it was after their closing time, but no one rushed us at all. I thanked everyone for letting us eat as we were heading out and they told us to come again. We absolutely will the next time we're in Moriarity!! read more

Open sign was on so we went in to hear they were closed. Super rude front lady that wasn't polite whatsoever. I would never suggest this place to anyone. read more

A friendly restaurant on the highway next to a busy Pilot Station. Food and service were great, and prices were reasonable. Good salsa and chips, a bit spicy. read more

A lot of the negative comments are very old. We went again today and it was pretty good. The beers are cheaper than the actually brewery across town! Too hot to try the patio. Nice, clean place. read more

So I will speak of the positives first! The restaurant was clean. The food was good, just a little too spicy for me. But that's my personal preference. When we walked in the signs said wait to be seated..........little did we know that they are serious about the "wait". We had to wait to be seated for an unexpected amount of time. They have a lot of steak items on their menu, but the hostess/waitress told us at the door that "we don't have any steaks today". That was fine because we weren't there for the steaks. But I did see a couple people turn around and leave after they were told. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated after we had already told her that we would like to sit at the bar. She put us at a table even though we requested the bar, so that we could watch TV. We had to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes to be served our food after we ordered. They only have beer and wine. The wine margarita was nothing to write home about. But I did like the sugar ring! Here's the most negative part of our experience: Our waitress/food server was extremely short with us. She walked away while we were trying to order drinks. She forgot to bring us our water and when I tried to order a second Wine Margarita she just walked away. I asked her for a different salsa secondary to the one that they served was too hot for me. I understand that it's my problem if I can't handle the heat, but she turned her back to us and said "that's ALL we have"! They did have Pico de Gallo on their menu, but she didn't offer it nor did she return to our table so that I could order some. (Willing to pay!). She never asked us if we needed anything else. No water refills! No chip refills! No beer refill for my husband! The couple that were sitting behind us asked for a To Go container which she never brought to them. She ended up bringing it after they gave up and left. We didn't even add to our own frustrations by asking for ANY To Go containers. We left our left overs at the restaurant. In closing the wait staff that we had suffered a huge attitude and definitely dislikes her job IMMENSELY! Would not recommend. We won't ever go back! read more

Friday...no service no food...Plenty of parking!!! Says open...closed tighter than a drum... direction on Yelp hap Hazzard gave 3 different directions.... disappointedly we found it. Closed due to COVID-19??????? Was looking forward to munchin read more

Here's the thing man, this place is good. However just like others have stated in their reviews boy o boy they do take quite the time to get your food to you. Service is good, but brace yourself you're going to be eating a couple bowls of chips before you get your plate. The food on the other hand is great! It really does taste good. If you don't mind waiting an hour or a little over to get food then this isn't a bad place. It is agitating waiting so long however. Again great food though. read more

La Hacienda - a steak and french fries - Steakhouses Near Me - Moriarty, New Mexico

Great food service was good waitress was busy but what do you expect from a full restaurant well worth the wait for food

Like everything else this place is out of business try it's sister restaurant Nachos here in town much better prices and food and service

Flavorful New Mexican food with some of the best salsa I've had, all in a casual environment.

What a JOKE being a trucker and you have this restaurant in walking distance and then turn me away because I'm one person and you're about to serve a group of 20 !!! I guaranteedI woulda tipped more than your 18% gratuity .... Don't bother coming here food was probably mediocre anyways how you gonna have fresh meat for Mexican food in this town ... it's New Mexico after all everyone here is rude as shit unless your a native .... I don't even know why I stopped here shoulda kept going to Albuquerque!!! Just one more hour and I would be over here at double c's diner down the street waiting over an hour for a hamburger this whole little piece of shit town should be nuked ...... I'll update double c's review after if I ever get my damn food read more

Too bad the waitresses ignore people when they come in. They lost a 200$ meal and 100$ tip. We had a large party but came at 7. It was almost empty After being ignored for 10 minutes we were told they had no room for us.i think that's terrible read more

Food is quite good! Had Enchilada, Taco, Relleno combo plate and Asada Chimichanga. My only gripe is that they serve Pepsi instead of Coke. Try to avoid using the bathroom. Half the facilities don't work, the toilet water is suspiciously opaque and the soap is basically queso. Service is also good, though they close rather early. Probably best to do takeout here. read more

Very nice dining setting. Busy during dinner times but service is excellent. Food is good too, easy to customize for vegetarian needs.

We were driving through town and hungry. We wanted something other than fast food, so we checked out yelp and decided to give this place a try. We pulled up right at 5 o'clock and the parking lot was empty, we went in and the restaurant was empty... that made us a little nervous, but like I said we were hungry. The service was well. The food was great. The salsa was fantastic. By the time we left, the restaurant was packed. We will be sure to stop by here again in the future. read more

Excellent food, the only reason they didn't get 5 stars is their hours are not consistent. The tacos are exceptional, wish they had been open when we went back. read more

Friendly, delicious, and not just a cookie cutter Mexican restaurant. Chips come with green chili salsa, just a bit of heat and sweetness (delicious!) Not much in way of veggie options. Has a selection of burgers if your party has a meat eater that doesn't want Mexican. read more

My first and last experience with La Hacienda tonight. Arrived around 5 pm and left around 7 pm, it took So Long to get any service. Not Recommended. I requested they add hamburger to my queso and they would not accommodate my request. They said the queso was just plain cheese with salsa. I asked for a margarita and they said they only had margarita-flavored beer and only in strawberry so we said no thanks. It took an hour to get my food after ordering. (Other tables were serviced before mine.) Then, the food delivered was the incorrect order. Then after receiving the food my friend noted her sirloin beef enchilada tasted like fish. I tried it and it did have distinct taste of fish, as if they were using same cooking pans or knives for both meat and fish. When checking out I asked the waitress for a discount for the fish flavored enchilada as my friend could not finish her food, and she checked with the manager would not give a discount. She said there was not way those two (beef and fish) could have been mixed. So the manager did not even give me, the customer, the benefit of the doubt or any discount. So, because this was a quite a terrible experience tonight, I cannot recommend La Hacienda. read more

Food came out cold, and everything tastes like it's been pre made the day before. Chicken fajitas looked old, and dry and again came out cold. How does that even happen? I asked for grilled shrimp, because fajitas on the menu offered them and the waitress told me I could get them fried or marinated in their sauce. My partner got the shrimp and the sauce on the shrimp was absolutely disgusting. This place is only open Tue-Saturday from 4-8 each day. I would recommend closing for good. read more

Over priced - old town Nm - nice ambiance but truly over rated . There are many restaurant's, who serve authentic NM cuisine for far better prices- and better quantity to dollar value read more

Six of us, passing through on motorcycles stayed at the hotel next door. Having 550 miles under Our belt we decided to take a chance on this place next door to the hotel. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was good and plentiful! read more

This has to be the best Mexican restaurant in America! Definitely the best salsa I've ever had at a restaurant. The customer service is second to none. So polite and respectful! The waitress is running around covering 10 tables flawlessly, all with a smile on her face. I'm so glad I stopped here on my way to Phoenix. This a hidden gem and I recommend if you're traveling on the 40 to go ahead and stop in! I'll be back for sure! read more

I was at the truckstop across the street taking a 30 minute break and decided to give them a try. I couldn't have been more surprised at how good the food was. I ordered the combination fajitas, chicken and shrimp. I only gave 4 stars because of the wait but the food was well worth the price and wait. Will definitely return. read more

I'm guessing the great state of New Mexico might be the only place in north America a traveler can pull off the highway and find some random place and it's some of the best Mexican food you ever had. Now granted I am from the east coast which is not exactly home to great Mexican cuisine, but I have been to Mexico several times and I do live in the land of fresh seafood. I have no idea where they are getting fresh fish and shrimp from, but it's fantastic and fresh. This place is not exactly right off the highway. It took a tiny bit of GPS'ing. I had yelped it and was not steered wrong. Even though we were traveling, I took a box and bought ice just so I could store my leftovers. Excellent service also. You will not be disappointed here. read more

Always a delicious meal! Have tried many options on the menu and have thoroughly enjoyed it all. Definitely our go-to place for an everyday meal or even a celebratory one in the neighborhood. read more

We've been eating frequently at this restaurant since they opened and it was good from the beginning and just keeps getting better! The service has been fantastic recently and every single entree we've tried is great. And the most recent addition of margaritas completes the experience! All of NM needs to seek this place out and for those traveling through on I-40, it's a "must-stop" with easy on/off access. read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican food. We stopped in while staying for a few days in Moriarty and we were not disappointed! We were glad we went early because the restaurant filled up fast. They seemed to be a little short staffed (as everywhere is these days) but our server was very efficient, friendly and helpful, and we got food and drinks in a timely matter. Everything was fresh and tasty - we will definitely be back when we are in town again!! read more

Went in on a Sat night. Was told the wait would be 10 mins. She took our number and said she would call us when the table opened, it was currently seated with people that were already given their check. We waited in the car outside. 10 mins passed, 15, 20. Watched about 9 people go in after us and never came back out. Wont be back there again. Apparently I didnt fit the "esthetic" of her liking. read more

We live in Moriarty, and I'm ashamed to say that tonight was our first visit to La Hacienda. (We've enjoyed Nachos, the owner's first restaurant, for years.) We enjoyed the Ceviche and Mexican Shrimp cocktails...I was actually shocked at how delicious and fresh they were. They were also beautifully presented. We all had a wine based margarita...again, really good and so pretty! (you'll hardly miss the tequila!) I had red chile beef enchiladas, my husband had a green combo plate, a friend had the chicken chimichanga. Everyone was totally happy. The portions are huge, the prices are really reasonable. The red chile was awesome. The building, which used to house a steakhouse/bar, is charmimgly decorated. We will definitely be back. read more

Their food was amazing! We were told by a friend to try this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised to know that there's this great restaurant fairly close to home. The shrimp cocktail was really tasty just the way we're used to and was the perfect appetizer. The surf & turf was also great (and the buttered shrimp has this amazingly yummy red chili sauce that wasn't hot so our kids LOVED it). My husband and I shared the 14oz ribeye. It was cooked to perfection and came with a baked potato and asparagus. The servings were large (and I forgot to mention their salsa that came with the chips was the best). We will definitely return. read more

We read all the great reviews, but this restaurant was not open. Sign on the door simply said closed.
