Hacienda Taqueria Cantina

Love this cute place! Server was so nice, chips&Salsa was great. Dinner came out fast and there were lots of choices for drinks. The taco salad was spot on. Don’t hesitate to check this place out!

For our weekly #Datenight, my husband and I visited Hacienda Taqueria Restaurant in Lawrenceville. We have been fans of this establishment since its opening a few years ago. We 've seen the business grow, remodel, and transform; continuously making improvements to the pleasure and benefit of customers like us.We arrived early in the evening, around 6pm, and were seated right away. Isabella served us. She was a fabulous, driven young lady who shared with us that she is in college, pursuing a degree in biology (with a focus on agriculture). She intends to bring innovation and healthier dining options to the food service industry one day.?Tommy and I had a coupon to use towards our dining order. It stated we 'd receive a free meal as a promotion for purchasing a full meal and two drinks.Little did we know that fountain drinks would cost $3.75 each. That 's highway robbery ; seemingly unethical! That 's exactly why we typically ask for water only with our meals. We don 't often take issue with paying more for a quality meal because we understand all that may go into the process. Plus, we realize we 're paying a convenience cost. However, drinks are another story...we object!Needless to say, we didn 't save as much as we anticipated or desired. We 're happy the food and service made it all worth it. We will consistently support great businesses, as long as it 's feasible for us to do.Flavor and presentation are valued here. Portion sizes are very fair too. We started with complimentary chips and house salsa...yum! Following, I had Hacienda Chicken Tacos [on corn tortillas], and Tommy had a queso chicken breast dish...delicious ?. I should mention that he added bacon to his dish, to the tune of $5 additional...had no idea initially...won 't repeat this expensive request again!!!There are great deals offered here during their happy hour , 2pm-5pm throughout the week. Check it out.

Friendly staff, large portions and fairly priced. The restaurant has a large shaded patio for outdoor dining on cool evenings. The chips and salsa are house made and fantastic. I had the Pollo ranchero which was delicious, and a large enough portion that I couldn't finish it.Parking: Parking is mostly behind the restaurant.

Can’t wait to bring the kids there. I had the fish and shrimp and hubby had the big burrito(don’t quote me). Fish and shrimp w/rice was so delicious and cooked to perfection. Big burrito w/asada was cooked to perfection as well. The steak was super tender which is super rare at a lot of Mexican Restaurants in Metro Atlanta. Looking forward to our next visit

Great meal again. We got The Molcajete, and it didn't disappoint!
