Hacienda? Well, it is a big building on a big lot, set up to handle a big crowd…read more A shock to my system. Imagine if you will the small town of Tahlequah having a large clean new Mexican restaurant; Hacienda Vieja. It is nice. The owners' spent a few bucks to build out a large, nicely decorated restaurant, inside and out. Big parking area in the back. I believe it is associated with one of the Oklahoma based Mexican restaurateur cartels, that operate a chain of restaurants you would recognize by name. They advertise as authentic with excursions into TexMex cuisine. Looking at the menu I would say it's basically OkieMex, with some nice upgrades. To find the menu Google, Hacienda Vieja, then click on the "Order on Line." That will take you to a useable version of the menu. The lunch menu is a deal! My wife went with the Sophia Special; two spinach enchiladas covered with red enchilada sauce and cheese sauce, served with rice and beans. The filling for the enchiladas was delicious. A mixture of fresh onions and spinach, grilled. The combination of red enchiladas sauce and queso worked well as a tasty covering for the enchiladas. I had the Special Lunch 1. A chili relleno, taco, refried beans and guacamole. Plenty of food, check the picture. Everything was mildly seasoned. A little help from the good salsas was needed. The guacamole was too salty, even for my taste, and a little bland. Let's not forget the chips and salsa and a special dip! The red salsa good and green salsa; an excellent fire roasted jalapeno salsa. It had heat, but mild enough that my wife ate almost as much as I did. Then there is this thing in the appetizer section called NSU Dip. I would describe it as bunch of Mexican food left overs, thrown together as a midnight snack, after getting home from a late night at the bar. Maybe that is its origin, invented by a NSU student. Who knows? It was a conglomeration of chicken, ground beef, beans, Pico de Gallo, jalapeño slices and cheese dip. Surprisingly damn good! The service was very good start to finish. The restaurant has a nice outdoor dining area for those few Oklahoma summer days, when you can stand to be outside. Clean and modern inside! The lunch menu is a bargain. We had two filling meals, an order of NSU dip, chips and good salsa, iced tea and a water. All coming in for a bill of around $27 without a tip. That is a good deal! Try it!

Of course I've been back several times since my last review a couple years ago, but since I tried…read moresomething new this time, I figured it deserved another mention. The ambience and bar service are still killer. I actually came for the cheese dip, but ended up ordering the Salmon Verda plate too, and I'm glad I did. It was absolutely amazing. My original plan was to get the fajitas (my go to), but after eating way too many chips and cheese dip, I figured I should balance things out with something a little healthier. The salmon ended up being the perfect choice. It was cooked just right and honestly better than I expected. I usually decide what to order based on pictures from Yelp, but there weren't any for this dish. So... you're welcome.

We've been there three times, counting last night. After waiting for 30 minutes and watching people leave without being seated, we left and went to a BBQ place. From where I was standing, I could see 5 empty tables, no telling how many more, during our 30-minute stay. In properly run restaurants, tables are cleaned immediately and people are seated as quickly as possible: This ensures maximum profits and better customer satisfaction. Either the management needs replaced or the "hosts" are left to operate however they please.
