My trip this go around was not as pleasant and the food not as flavorful. In building your own my…read moretamale was okay, the rice was not edible because of the smell as it had gasoline or too close to the grill fumes, the red sauce was splattered over both entrees as if the chef was in a hurry with only a few customers in the restaurant-- yet the saving grace was the guacamole it was good even though the chips were hard. The server seemed to be in a haste which made for an uncomfortable environment. Perhaps quality control needs to do a reboot of their products to return back to the good quality food they are noted for serving.

Always down to try a restaurant that has such good reviews. Went on. Sunday afternoon and it got…read morecrowded quickly. Ambiance: Inside it feels a little crowded with the table I sat at close to the door and the checkout counter. There is more space in the back. Service: The service was good, replacing the chips and ensuring the water was refilled. Food: The chips and salsa were good. The chips are not too salty and the salsa is mild. The queso is one of the best I've had with a light consistency. For an entree I had beef nachos which were ok but I prefer more queso. Parking: There is plenty of parking. I'll definitely be back to try another menu item.

Making our way from Omaha to Oswego and decided that we wanted to have a quick lunch…read more Cancun is conveniently only 3 or so minutes off of I80. We seated ourselves and were greeted and served in a timely manner. After being served we were checked on a few times but once our plates were empty, we waited a bit before getting the check. For such low lunch prices, it cost us only a little more than if we would have eaten fast-food. Another plus of the location is that we were able to top off our tanks at the gas station that shares a parking lot with the restaurant.

My daughter told me about this place because she and her friends like to come for margaritas. I…read morelike new places so we decided to give it a shot. Plain and simple, I like this place. It's nothing fancy. Friendly and fast service. It had Mexican music playing on the speakers but it was more of a pop/rock Mexican, not the typical music you usually hear in establishments like this. I enjoyed it. Great Mexican beer on tap for what I thought was reasonable prices. Chips and salsa are good. You have to get the Hildago Molcajete. Huge, temperature hot, layers of different stuff, fantastic. Plenty of leftovers. True molcajete served in the stone bowl. No restaurant is cheap anymore. But this place is pretty reasonably priced, and I thought the food is as good as any other local Mexican restaurant

Back again! Plenty of parking outside on an early afternoon…read more We stopped back for another company lunch. This time I checked out the lunch menu. I found what will probably be my go to going forward. We were seated close to the bar. This was also a little closer to the kitchen and were attended to right away. The chips and salsa hit the table right away and we ordered up the guacamole and the queso. Everyone is always really nice and helpful. TVs on over the bar and music plays. I ordered the Huevos con Chorizo this time. Two scrambled eggs with chorizo, Mexican sausage, served with rice and beans. I had them hold the beans. Food came fast again. I was doing the happy food dance my eggs were so good. Once again, an all around great experience. 3 times out of 3 so far.

The gist: exceptional service, warm and flavorful food; energetic ambiance with colors and music, full bar. Extras to know: on the last day of January the restaurant was comfortably warm. I am always cold and typically eat with my coat on but could enjoy tonight's meal without it. Upon arrival we were seated and immediately brought large glasses of water: I love not having to ask AND having a large glass and chips and salsa. The. Hips were typical Mexican restaurant chips; the salsa suited my preference with a bit of sweetness and cilantro. Our server was friendly and 'just right' attentive, allowing us to enjoy our meal while making sure we had drinks. The food came quickly in chilled glasses: the only thing keeping this meal from perfect is actually not so bad- the chipped glasses melted a bit and left a small glass rim puddle- I will ask for a coaster next time. And there WILL be a next time. The menu is extensive and creative with a nod to Iowa in some of the dishes (example: Iowa burrito) Prices totally reasonable for the amount of food. I enjoyed 1/3 of the pollo chorro (grilled chicken breast with chorizo) topped with melted cheese. Delicious combination. Sides of rice, refried beans and lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and sour cream in a mini taco shell. The dish came with a warm flour tortilla. Hubby had the Burrito Texano with steak, chicken and shrimp stuffed in a huge tortilla smothered in green sauce and cheese: we stayed for him to finish- he could not NOT eat it all it was so good. Family friendly, beer and margarita friendly, customer friendly, and food coma guaranteed. This is my personal favorite in town!

my first time here and my last…read more today, me and my family from my dads side came to this establishment to have lunch, I'll admit, I'm from the south side and not from this side of town so the Mexican food over there is something I'm use to, but this? the food truly had no flavor, salsa had a strange taste to it which overpowered the salsa, and the Choriqueso is an insult to all choriqueso, in my experience, all choriqueso has had the chorizo be dark and crisped up, this tastes straight up boiled and tossed in, and the Rodeo bowl? I got it with the Pork option, that was the most flavorless and overcooked pork I've ever had, and the corn on it was cold. Who puts cold corn on anything that isn't a salad?! Also the bowl had a mystery ingredient in it, disgusting! Will say the service was great and the ambience reminds you of Cracker Barrel, not a compliment, especially for a Mexican restaurant that's serving only Mexican food, not a single burger in sight, you would associate this ambience to burgers or steaks or anything remotely close to American cuisine, this is all Mexican food, the only thing that feels like Mexico here is the music.

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Grimes. Between the free queso (that's right, not just…read morefree chips and salsa, but QUESO), the margs, and the atmosphere, Hacienda Vieja is a 10/10. Add on my favorite dish, El Presidentes, and it's an 11!

There's an option for outside canopy shaded seating but it was too hot for us. The large food portions were huge and excellent tasting! The bathroom was clean but the hand towel dispenser didn't work. The music was a tad bit on the too loud side. The salsa had a nice kick and salsa verde was super yummy. The chips were super fresh and served warm. The wait staff was super attentive. My daughter had the steak burrito, I had the seafood Hacienda Vieja (served enchilada style) and my husband had the Cielo Mar Tierra (chicken, steak and shrimp). Everything was perfectly cooked and the price couldn't be beat for the amount of food! Coming back again & again!
