I have been here probably 10-15 times and every time I order something different from the menu. I have yet to find a dish that isn’t delicious.

Food was really good! I had the Hacienda Tacos and I was afraid that two tacos wouldn’t be enough, but it was very filling. I had the watermelon Margarita to drink and I would highly recommend it!

Discovered this restaurant during the depths of the pandemic. I had them door-dashed when the restaurants were all shut down. I had ordered the Chile Verde plate and the meat was extremely moist and the sauce was really flavorful, even for having been delivered. I thought if it was this delicious delivered, I wonder how good it would be at the restaurant? I absolutely loved all the food and was eager to try them fresh once restaurants opened up again. My husband and I finally got around to eating at the restaurant and it was even better fresh! The guacamole was freshly made and so good. The rice was perfectly seasoned and fluffy. The meat was extremely tender, moist, and well seasoned.

Courtney was an amazing server and it made the experience extra nice. The restaurant is beautiful and the views on the water are even more so. Salmon on the lake salad with cilantro pepino dressing was delicious. Only thing was that the food was a little bit of a wait….

Beautiful setting – not so friendly staff the day we went – Cinco De Mayo – I have gone to what is this location for over 28 years but it has been over 6 months since I have been here . I decided to take my mom out for a Bloody Mary and myself for what else a Margarita- the bartender helped us but was not friendly that day , possibly due to him having to help us and make drinks , ok I get it . He made my moms B- Mary it was so dark and the amount of pepper on the bottom was as if he spilled the Bottle on it – ok send it back. It’s a Mexican restaurant, get a Margarita, she did and it was delicious- she was happy , now if only he he could crack a smile or just be nice. The rest of the staff was running around as if it was really busy but it wasn’t yet, it was 4:30 by the time we left – I’m sure they had a full house later that evening .

Atmosphere / Customer Service are 5 star. There were 9 people in my party and all the staff who took care of us were outstanding. So why the 4 star rating? I had the pleasure of eating at two different Mexican restaurants in three days. Hacienda on the Lake in Mission Viejo was the second. The Lake view was beautiful, the Service was great, but the food did not come close to what I have experienced in other Mexican restaurants.
