Hacienda Franco

Great location for the civic center area workforce. I came at the end of lunch time and there was no wait to order. I usually order a quesadilla or nachos -when order from a restaurant that I wasn't referred to- for the first time. I went with the carne asada nachos. They were good and the serving is shareable in my opinion. I had leftovers which I made into chilaquiles the next morning. I got two meals out these nachos! Don't play with me!! I will survive lol. The cashier was very helpful and informed as to how the food is prepared. There were some distinct flavors to these nachos brought about by shredded cheese combined with nacho cheese sauce. I thought people only did that at home :)

Love the food here! The cashier is so friendly and helpful I'll eat here when I'm in the area. And so far I've returned three times. My first time I ordered the nachos loco which had beef, chicken, and shrimp. So good. Carnitas quesadilla's also excellent. Third time I tried the beef enchiladas, didn't disappoint. Prices are reasonable, there are always several specials. I might just go tomorrow too.

After reading the favorable reviews of this spot, I decided to give this place a shot! So glad I did, my coworkers also enjoyed their plates as well. I ordered the taco plate which come with a reasonable serving of rice and beans, 3 soft tacos, a yellow pepper and lemon PLUS a small drink all for $12.00. Now THATS value. Also the gentleman behind the counter was so incredibly kind and pleasant and helped everyone, honestly, filled with joy. Great spot!

Decided to try something new then my usual today should of known better. Usually get the choriqueso but today decided to order the Carne Asada Fries. I wasn't sure what it came with I just told my friend to get no onions and all sour-cream no guacamole. I open it up and there is runny liquid cheese lettuce an tomatoes on top of the fries an meat. I picked off the lettuce an tomato an still gave it a shot but a few bits in an I ate an onion. Mind u I said no onions cause I am allergic. I honestly think it mixed in with the lettuce a lil but Still. I picked and ate around what I could but definitely not a good item to order. They need real cheese slightly melted on it too.Love the Choriqueso though have to get xtra chips with ur.

Asada/ Alpastor Burrito Was too salty and greasy.Prices are higher as well, do not match the quality of the food.No Bueno!

Food was so so. Did not like the chips. Enchiladas were small. Tacos ok. Tiny portion of rice. Too expensive for what got.

Very clean and friendly service.I came to the Long Beach courthouse to handle a ticket and became extremely hungry. I walked out of the courthouse and connected to it I found this place right outside. I saw Mexican and I knew I had to try it.I was greeted right away by Carlos, who was extremely kind and eager to get me to try their nachos. I immediately agreed that it would be a good idea and gave them a try. Within 10 minutes my food was prepared and I sat outside to eat. Now the only reason why it's not getting a five star review was because of the chips. The chips were stale. It was uncomfortable trying to take a bite into the stale chips. Other than that, the meat was amazing. I was starving so I finished all my food. They gave me two salsas and they tasted good. Nothing extra special or nice but a decent tasting salsa. They have a huge menu so don't be shy to try other stuff. The staff is pretty nice and they clean and sanitize the place. Overall, i hope they change up their chips so I can change my review to five stars!

Stopped by this cool Mexican spot in DTLB. The dude up front was very nice and explained everything that he recommended. I ended up going with a asada burrito and it turned out great. I only paid 8 bucks and got the burrito chips and a coke. Not only was it tasty and inexpensive, I was surprised how fast I was able to get my order. I Will definitely be back.

This restaurant is new, today was their grand opening. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. This is not traditional Mexican food: it's more Tex-Mex. I had the enchilada plate and a small coke: $11.The chicken was dry, the enchilada sauce is too tomato heavy, making it taste more like pasta sauce than enchilada sauce. The beans and rice were passable, but barely lukewarm . The worst part was finding a hair in my food (see pic).Maybe this was all due to first day jitters, but I won't be returning.

This review is for the "veggie fajitas" I ordered:There's a salsa bar to choose from and you can help yourself to grilled onions and grilled chili peppers and spicy carrots and onions.The salsas we're tasty, not bad in my opinion and there were three to choose from - a mild red, a medium green and a spicy red. My Mexican restaurant theory is if the sauces taste good, the food is going to be good, because if you screw up and can't make a basic decent tasting salsa, then your food generally might not be that great.So my veggie fajitas were served on a large platter paper plate with everything that you would expect with grilled onions, tomatoes, different colored bell peppers, sides of rice and beans and all the other stuff I explained, and a small bag of chips with a choice of corn or flour tortillas. So overall I was not disappointed, it was all tasting good, I was full and I had no issues with the food at all. If I had to have to give any kind of "constructive criticism" I would say the rice and beans could've been a little hotter - temperature wise, but outside of that - everything I are was great.This place is a welcome addition to the outside food court at the Long Beach Superior Court. They should do well here because we all choose to eat at a Mexican restaurant because you feel like Mexican type food. So if you don't feel like Mexican food there's the "subway" next-door on one side and the "savory Grill" which is an American grill and salads on the other side. Good job hacienda restaurant
