I love this place, it reminds me of home, I'm from Socal and just wanted some comfort food and here I have found it. Great service, wonderful staff, I've found my Norcal favorite chilaquiles. Everything here is great, also they give you refried beans with the tortilla chips.

There are places you eat, and then there are places that feel like home—La Hacienda on MacArthur in Oakland is the latter. No pretension, no gimmicks, just damn good food served with warmth and a sense of place.
The carnitas burrito? A masterpiece—crispy-edged pork, rich and juicy, wrapped in a tortilla that actually holds its own. The fajitas sizzle and smoke like they mean business, every bite a reminder that sometimes, simple done right is all you need. And then there’s the bean dip, an unassuming little gift at the start of the meal, creamy and savory enough to make you wonder why more places don’t do this.
But the real magic? The people. The owner steps out, chats like an old friend, and suddenly, you’re not just eating—you’re part of something. A family-run spot that understands hospitality in a way that corporate joints never will. This isn’t just a recommendation; it’s a command. Go. Eat. Feel at home.

This was the worst service I have ever had at any restaurant in my entire life, plus their food was rotten. I believe the owner’s daughter who is a teenager is pretending to be a waitress and 25 minutes later with nobody in the restaurant we still did not get our sangrias. Run away from this place at all costs! I think I just saved myself from getting food poisoning!!

The service was ok but they advertise items that they don’t have and I wasted my whole break going there.

They employ two 13-year-old girls to manage the restaurant. They work like turtles. They are really slow. That's why I give it one star.

Great spot to take the family - has food that my kids like and I enjoy as well.
Just returned there after an absence of many years, since before Covid. Still a great place! An old school family owned Mexican restaurant in the Fruitvale. Doesn’t get better than this! I had Camarones Mojo al Ajo. My companion had her old favorite Chiles Rellenos and salad. Both dishes excellent.The decor is old timey Mexican. Great friendly waitress. Definitely going back much more often, the place is a gem in the neighborhood.
