This place is okay. Mostly for the atmosphere. I'm from so cal and so the food here is far from Mexican...I would describe it as okay tex mex. I ordered a salad and it sucked.
Their margaritas are what they are known for and usually they make me sick... the chips are good. The fish tacos are good...but overall if I had another option I'd definitely take it!
I grew up in northern Indiana, and absolutely love Hacienda. Â I will admit, their menu as a whole is not stellar, and the food is less authentic and more chain Tex-Mex. Â But I'm not looking to compare this place with a meal I had in Cabo, nor do I expect to be wowed like a dish I would have from Adobo grill in Indianapolis. Â What I'm looking for is cheap, local Tex-Mex, and mountains of chips with salsa and ranch! Â
Aside from the chips, other highlights include the wet burritos and the chimichanga. Â Everything else is so-so.
If you're unsure, I recommend going during lunch to take advantage of their cheap specials.
This is a great place to be! If you walk in you,ll feel like your at Mexico.
Best food ever like chips and salsa for example, or a bar for beer. Good service for anything you want, and good desert. sorry that Im putting this out of order, but back to food and service! So if you want food, you will have to pay twice of your money for food :p, and the parking is always packed because of good food. Some times its empty in noon time. Now party stuff! Really fun song and you get a hat on your b-day. Also you get
desert for your wonderful day! That is all I have.
Oh and try the chips, they are good.
I have NO IDEA how the parking lot is always packed . I have been dragged here against my own will many times and force myself to eat this garbage. Salsa is EXTREMELY hot and watery, Chips are often greasy and staleThey are "famous" for there wet burrito's but they are usually undercooked, and are drenched with there oily enchalada sauce. .Wait staff is sub-par at best. Margaritas are often syrupy and contain little to no alcohol. The price is decent but there are a half dozen better options when looking for Mexican food in the area.
Review Source:For the life of me, I cannot figure out why everyone loves this place. I think that it is dreadfully bad. Yet, every time I drive by here, the parking (and even adjacent parking lots) are jammed full of cars. People are waiting 30-45 minutes to get tables to shovel this crap in their mouths.
Perhaps the worst treachery was a few months back where some friends not seen in a long time said "Hey, we know this great little Mexican place. Follow us!" and I found myself in the parking lot of Hacienda. My wife had to drag into the place kicking and screaming.
I don't want to sound like a drama queen, but nothing here is good. My extended family eats here so often (for birthdays, etc) that I have to experiment to find food that I don't find positively revolting or that makes me violently ill during/afterwards. I can understand the free chips and salsa, and the cheap margaritas, so if that's all you like this place for, don't be offended. But the food is just beyond abysmal.
South Bend/Elkhart, please! PLEASE! Patronize better Mexican/Tex-Mex food. It certainly exists. This has just got to stop.
I travel quite a bit with a bunch of college students & we've come to regard Mexican as the go to cuisine for dinner. Â So of course when I found out we were traveling to South Bend, I made sure to ask around & find a good Mexican restaurant. Â This place came highly recommended - but I couldn't have been more disappointed. Â Maybe I'm spoiled by the many Mexican restaurants Columbus has to offer - or maybe South Bend just wouldn't know a great enchilada if it tried.
We had to send the queso back twice.  Every  time it returned to the table cold.  The margarita selection was very limited: regular, strawberry, or flavor of the day.  What about some watermelon, orange, blue, etc? I stuck with my old favorite: chicken enchiladas.  Can't go wrong, right?  Well they did.  Cheese covering the top.  Dry chicken on the inside.  No sauce.  No onions.  Nothing. Â
And mine appeared to be the most appetizing of the 10 dishes at our table. Â The quesadillas looked like rubber. Â Same cheese covering the top, dry meat on the inside plus watery tortilla? Â
Needless to say I will not be thanking those who recommended Hacienda to me.
