Anytime we're in Florida, we have to stop here. The food is absolutely amazing--every option we've…read moretried has been fantastic. The portions are generous, the service is fast, and the staff are kind and efficient, even during the busiest times. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and honestly, tacos outside just hit differently--there's no comparison to other shops in the area. The place is small, so be sure to order a good amount--you'll probably want more after your first bite! Don't skip the sauces either; they're flavorful and pair perfectly with everything. Pro tip: Have exact cash or your card ready. The line moves quickly, especially during the lunch rush. Beyond the food, the shop itself is worth exploring. They carry a wide selection of grocery items, western wear, fresh pan dulce, and other authentic finds. Before you leave, treat yourself to a sweet pan dulce or a refreshing paleta. You won't regret it. Highly recommend--this spot truly delivers on all fronts

Very calm, quiet and relaxing...no over the top music to drown out your conversation. I have ordered a difference dish each time, and have been pleased each time. Tonight I had the Plato Tampico is it was spot on. Amazingly, each of the four, yes four, proteins were perfectly cooked. Steak was juicy and tender, shrimp was succulent and light, chicken was moist and just charred, and the chorizo was crisped outside had and textured just right. The sides were awesome too, the tortillas were worth a high-five...if you know tortillas you understand, a lot of places these days treat tortillas as an afterthought. Not here, they brought this dish together for a perfect fiesta on my plate. I stop in each time I'm in town, and meals like tonight's is exactly why...

The guacamole may have been made fresh that day, but it definitely wasn't made to order. I prefer more chunks in my guacamole though. The fajitas were okay, the steak was pretty sparse and seemed like edges of steak or just shredded steak perhaps. I forgot to take a picture because I was hungry by the time it came out.

So good and friendly!…read more After a long day of moving, we were looking for something delicious to end the day with, we found it at Hacienda. I had the fajita chicken chimichanga and my friend had the chicken mole. Oh my we licked the plates clean. The crew working were very friendly and attentive. Our drinks never ran out, but when my salsa did run out, it was refilled super quick. I'll definitely be back.
