Customer Reviews
I only came by to pick up an Uber Eats order on a Friday night, but staff was extremely sweet! Food also looked and smelled amazing. I will definitely be back to try it out!
Great first visit! The kiddos loved their arroz con pollo and rice and beans. The combo platter was tasty. My husband got quesabirria tacos. He didn't love it but it looked good 🤷♀️ They accidentally charged him for two orders but fixed it once we pointed out the error.
Food was delicious - highly recommend the birria pizza (which is basically a birria quesadilla). Service was marginal; they aren’t really interested in customer service. Like all restaurants, the prices have risen and this place loves to nickel and dime you. No substitutions, everything costs extra, and the add on charges for things are very pricey.
Hacienda El Rey is, quite simply, a must-visit destination for anyone craving truly authentic Mexican food. From the moment you walk through the door, the atmosphere is inviting, but the real star here is the kitchen. The dedication to traditional flavors shines through in every single dish, proving that this isn't just standard Mexican fare—it’s a genuine culinary experience. What truly elevates Hacienda El Rey above the rest is the specific excellence of their birria options. Whether you try the juicy Birria Tacos, the perfectly melted Birria Quesadilla, or the comforting Birria Plate, the meat is slow-cooked to perfection, rich with deep chile flavor, and served with that necessary side of consommé. If you love birria, prepare to be absolutely delighted; these are easily the best in the
I am ashamed to say that this restaurant has been open for three years and I haven’t gone until today and I cannot believe I have missed this gem! Raoul and Bianca, the owners, were the sweetest and best hosts today. The food was delicious including the mixed fajitas with chicken and steak and the salsa was fabulous! My dad loved his chicken tortilla soup. The prices were also really great and there were lunch specials when we got there so it was very reasonably priced! They also have a yummy margarita menu, which we didn’t take part in for lunch, but will definitely come back in the night to hang out…
