    2 taco plate
    Jen R.

    It was my first time coming here. The decor is colorful and ranch themed. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the beans and slaw served with tortilla chips when you first sit down. The rice and beans served with dinner were good, only needed some salt. The tacos seemed to be premade shells and got soggy from the shredded chicken, which is why I took off a star.

    Here's a polished version of your Hacienda Real review that keeps the warmth and detail while tightening up the flow for Yelp: Hacienda Real Review Don't be alarmed by the yellow queso--this is classic Mexican-American comfort food done with care. The salsa was fresh and delicious. The refried beans were perfectly salted and smooth like butter (probably not vegetarian). I also tried the whole pinto beans, which were simple and straightforward--like something you'd get at a friend's house. The rice was balanced and flavorful, not overly salty like you sometimes find at chain restaurants. The shredded beef in my taco was tender without being greasy, so the shell stayed crisp. The red sauce had a little kick but, again, wasn't overloaded with salt. Everything tasted intentional and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere surprised me. When I first walked in at 8:30 PM, it looked a quiet Monday night and they sent the staff home, but within a second I was greeted warmly and the dining room began to fill. By 9:10 p.m., at least seven tables were occupied with families, students, and regulars chatting with the waitstaff like old friends. It's clearly a neighborhood favorite, and if I lived here, it would probably become mine too. The menu is extensive, (pics uploaded) offering Mexican-American classics along with house specialties. There's no lounge bar, but they do have a full-service bar and a fun themed cocktail list (see photos uploaded). Hacienda Real feels like a place where the food is cooked with love and the community gathers to enjoy it.

    Large Nacho Fajita- shredded Pork

    More pork, peppers & onions on the Nacho Fajita. Lot's of cheese. Not very much for toppings. Need more of the Fajitas mix, less cheese. Not a good value. $21.95 Large

Plenty of street parking available and the storefront had lovely plants at the entrance. Walking in felt a little crowded and awkward because of the small entryway. But it did look like they have a few booths, tables, window seating, and even a bigger private room in the back. The lunch specials were $9.99 which was an amazing value for sure! I got the Happy Bimbim Bap with chicken and my hubby got the Spicy Pork Bento Box (the bigger one for $15) The friendly staff set up our table and gave us all hot and freshly made green onion pancakes which was a nice touch! (Although it was a little too oily) Our food came out super fast - within 10 minutes of ordering?! The kids and I enjoyed all the veggies and egg for my bimbim bap but the chicken were cut until small pieces were just ok. My husband did enjoy his Spicy Pork with a good amount of spice (they asked him if he wanted spicy) and came with potstickers, California rolls, rice, and a side salad. My daughter actually really loved the green bean banchan and the daikon and kimchi were super delicious too! The owner came to our table to say hi to the kids and each table got watermelon as dessert (the Asian way!) She was so nice and offered extra watermelon for the kids if they wanted it. It also looked like they do a lot of local community work with the homeless and were super involved in providing food to those that need it. Such a lovely local restaurant. If you're in the area definitely come give it a try!

The meat was incredibly flavorful, and everything else in the box was delicious too. I've always loved bento boxes because they feel like the perfect portions of a little bit of everything. They also bring out several complimentary little side dishes at the beginning, which is such a nice touch. I added pictures because, of course, I can't remember exactly what everything was called! And I have to mention the people who work here, they are SO nice. Like genuinely, incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I think this was only my second time here since moving to Salem three years ago, and I'm not sure why we don't come more often. Definitely going back!

We got a little carried away and ordered way too much but everything was so good! For appetizers I tried The mini charcuterie: perfect single serve size or definitely to share of other appetizers are involved. The bread, apple and jam was my favorite pairing on the plate and the cheeses were really good! Baked Brie and mixed mushroom: who doesn't love a good baked Brie! The mushrooms added a much needed earthy element to the richness of the cheese and it was also smothered in delicious buttery garlic cloves. I with the little bread sliced had been toasted but easily one of the best times on the menu. Steak bites: garlic butter was tasty and the steak bites were soft and melted in your mouth. The bread slices didn't seem necessary but a good appetizer. I ordered the salmon as my main entree and it came with arugula, Brussels sprouts, red onions and tomatoes. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the dressing on the greens was really good. I think there was a little too much arugula but everything tastes really great together. Our server was attentive, friendly and remembered everything we ordered right down to the modifications. Really cool atmosphere, upstairs seating and a crazy looking bar area. I don't see us being in Salem again anytime soon but if the time ever comes we will 10000% be enjoying all of our meals here. Things to note: shared restroom with surrounding businesses. No parking lot, only metered street parking but free after 8:00pm.
