I love la hacienda! I have been getting tacos from here for over 10 years! In this time the tacos have remained consistently great. Their al pastor is absolutely incomparable to other taco places/restaurants. I love to get their al pastor tacos with everything and fresh chopped pineapple. Service can be quick but also can take up to 20 mins to get your food. Ambiance is chill. I've definitely been here in sweatpants and crocs.

I came here with my family after they picked me up from valleyfair, me and my partner were tired and put our heads down after a long day of being out. It was night at this point. All of a sudden the manager calls security on me and my partner, i'm guessing it was because we hadn't ordered anything?? We were at a table right next to our family as well. The security apologized two times and the manager didn't apologize AT ALL. Will never go here again.

It is very rare to find a taqueria that has a variety of meat options which only makes for a big order of tacos (ex: buche pork stomach). This place is amazing for tacos de Al pastor which is a very popular meat option where the meat is paired with pineapple! I really love ordering from places that are on lake street as it is an area rich in Mexican culture. Any good order of tacos is always paired with horchata for me and I love their horchata!

Moving from Chicago to Minneapolis has been hard on my taste buds, especially when it comes to Mexican food. I live in Phillips, which is known in Minneapolis as a haven for Mexican food. But I have been unsatisfied.Until today, when I FINALLY found a place that cuts their El Pastor from a rotating spit -- resulting in the best marinated pork I've had since moving here! Other items on the menu look good too, and I'll be back for more (and will update this review).COVID warning: while the restaurant does have a large outdoor eating area, the tables and chairs have all been removed. I suggest taking your order to go.

My friend promised authentic Mexican at an affordable price, so of course we had to check it out!Tacos are $2 apiece, so I decided to just try a few different flavors rather than get a meal of one specific flavor. I tried the carne asada, barbacoa, pollo, and al pastor tacos. They were pretty small, so even after four of them I felt like I could have eaten more. The meat of the tacos were great, but all four of my tacos were covered with a red salsa that was pretty spicy and kind of took over the flavor and made it tough for me to eat. Mind you, I don't have a very high tolerance for spice so the rest of my group liked the salsa, but for me it was too much. Had I known it was served on every taco I would have asked for it on the side.The atmosphere here is very fun! Lots of multicolored chairs, lots of ample seating, and lots of gaudy decorations.Service was hard to gauge because the only interaction we had with the staff was when we ordered at the counter. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out when to get my food because they called out the numbers in Spanish, but I channeled everything I learned from my high school Spanish class and figured it out.Overall, this place was fun! I would come back, but would maybe be more careful about what to order.

The tacos are great. The lake street location a little questionable but still tasty. I have the torta de milanisa de pollo
