Hacienda Buffet

The food was really tasty, with lots of variety. Everything was fresh, and even on a holiday, nothing felt picked over. There were some wonderful dishes I rarely see. The place is very cute, and it looks perfect for large family gatherings. My only issues are about the service. Our server was sweet, but after bringing our margaritas and dropping the checks for them, she just didn't come back! We kept waiting for her to bring tortillas, as the other servers we flagged down told us only she could, but by the time we finally saw her across the room and got her attention, we were nearly finished eating :( We also would have bought more margaritas... I don't know if I would go back.

After seeing this place show up on TikTok and Facebook I decided it was time to see what all the hype was about. The building itself is pretty big. Enjoyed the courtyard before wandering in to pay. Property looks well maintained and it looked clean on the inside. Staff were helpful and friendly. The buffet area can be overwhelming at first until you make a few rounds and realize that it's not that massive as it looks. What I did like were the handmade corn and flour tortillas, Cafe de Olla was well made and the various other sodas and aguas (pineapple, melon, horchata, jamaica and tamarindo) you could get which were included in the price. What was a huge red flag for me was the price menu (there are no prices displayed). You don't know how much it is until you pay. Another huge downer for me and I did bring it up to the waiter we got was the fact that they charge for every breathing person who walks through the door. My son is 1 and was asleep and they still charged for him. I noticed it after I left but I don't care for those kinds of deceitful business practices. The Adult buffet is $25.85, Kids 6-10 $13.99, Kids 3-5 $7.99, and 1-2 Kids $3.99. Finally the secret is out on how much it costs. What you will find is that this is a glorified taco bar buffet. You have some options like a sopé with cheese and beans or a skinny greasy tamale and even chicken nuggets and fries but the majority of this buffet is built around pork, chicken and beef. All of them in a different sauce or grilled with a little something different. So, expect to basically eat tortillas with some type of meat. Rice and beans sucked. The dessert bar was sucky too. Would I try again? Probably not. Mostly hype but that is just my personal opinion. Paid almost $100 for 2 adults a 10 year old and a 3 and 1 year old. Price is way out of range for this buffet.

Whole family visited the place for the first time! Service was excellent! Place was bright and clean! Food was abundant! Lots of choices check out the menu. To me this place serves more traditional Mexican food not Texmex! Every thing I ate was good! Little expensive for a large family! Waiter keep our drinks full! Will return!

First time eating here and will not be back. $56 for two adults, absolutely not worth it. 90% of the meat options were pork, I was hoping there would be more beef/chicken options. When I did find chicken, the chicken was completely dry and lacked seasoning. Super disappointing. Our waiter was friendly but had no knowledge of the drink menu when we asked what was in some of the alcoholic drinks. Menu says they have agua frescas so we asked if there was horchata and the waiter said he didn't know, so he went and checked, came back and said no. Maybe like 20 minutes later a table sits down next to us and I hear the waiter go over the agua frescas with them and tells them they have horchata. The place itself is decent, they have a huge outside area where a wedding was actually taking place. But, there are only TWO bathrooms for the entire establishment and one bathroom was down. There's also a sign telling people not to flush toilet paper, so when you walk into the bathroom, it was just super gross. $56 down the drain for a disappointing lunch.

There's a practically endless selection of Mexican classics and unique spins on your favorites here, where you have the chance to taste and fall in love with tons of different foods. I was blown away by the amount of choices and accoutrements available for them. The food was fresh, hot, and it's a buffet, so no waiting involved! The servers could have been a bit more spiffy with clearing the many plates we quickly had on our table, but they were helpful with explaining any questions we had about the food and sides. Additionally, the availability of Mexican drink classics was an unexpected surprise. We adored the Horchata and the chance to try the other tasty flavors.The restaurant itself is a bit dated, and the floors a bit uneven, but it sorta adds to that authentic charm, you know? The focus is on the food, as it should be, and for the price you pay for it all, I don't know how you could ask for more.

Gringo's do not go in expecting enchiladas or the like. The closest thing you'll see to Tex Mex is flautas and chicken nuggets. Mostly pork but all meats are served in sauce so try it all, why not. Lots of different soups, none were very appetizing. Meats were well overcooked, tamales were rocks. The meats (in sauce) are served with really good tortillas though. Tried a cheese and pepper empanadas, was just crust, all of them were and like biting through another rock. It's a neat place, large with outdoor seating. Probably not the cleanest of places. Our waiter was good at keeping out empty plates picked up and drinks full. Price is hefty. $56 for 2 people which does include your drink and tip. If someone asked us to join them we'd probably go, but would / will choose other options any other time.

2 stars at the most! & I'm being generous!! So, my wife & I heard about this place & wanted to try it out.We went, we tried it out, & we will NEVER return!We were sat, almost immediately. Our server Noa was good, margaritas were good.The food was absolutely terrible! I wasn't expecting very high-quality items, being that it's a buffet. But, for a $25 PPA. I was expecting, at best, something decent. Menudo tasted like it came from a can.Taquitos & fried shrimp were edible.Their separate grilling area in-cased in glass for patrons to view.Which was unpleasant to watch when their grill guy sat in the corner eating w/his hands, only to get up & cook. Disgusting!The beef fajitas were so thin & grilled so hard. I was unable to chew. & the single bite I took... the meat's texture was synthetic, w/zero flavor.Good luck in the future. But, we won't be back.

Let me start off by saying, this is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN food. Not Tex next bull crap. Legit REAL mexican people making REAL mexican food. Everything I tried, I loved. When I tell you, a hundred meal options... I mean a literal hundred. You will never run out of options here. The service was phenomenal! (Cute uniforms as well) Very attentive and helpful. The decor is also traditional and added to the overall ambience of the meal. Definitely my favorite food in all of Dallas / Fort Worth. Also, get the olla coffee. Trust me. You won't be disappointed if you love coffee.

It's buffet food. Most of the meats were tough. Soups were decent. The sauces were very good. I enjoyed the salad bar and fruit bar the most. We would go back but it's nothing spectacular.

No, just no.Huge buffet, in a huge empty restaurant. Just a few tables of customers.Disappointing, expensive.$25 per person
