Our story

The secret of Mexican cuisine is simple.

We use the best quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, and a respectful attitude to the product and to the work with it. That's the whole secret, and it's how we've cooked in the mid-valley for more than 20 years.

We pride ourselves on our delicious Mexican food and excellent customer service: a richly varied menu of fresh, natural ingredients, wholesome sauces and a combination of flavorful spices that encourage a depth of flavor.

It's not fast food, it's fresh food.

Why La Hacienda Real

Three things we do by hand.

  1. Tortillas made by hand

    We make our own corn and flour tortillas, every day.

  2. Fresh every morning

    We cut vegetables fresh, and make fresh beans and fresh rice daily. We only use high-quality meat for all our dishes.

  3. Hand-pressed limes

    Our margaritas start with limes we press by hand. No shortcuts behind the bar either.
