Ample and satisfying Mexican food in a casual atmosphere with warm and hospitable service. This is a family friendly place so expect to see families, especially on the weekends.

Yummy food and drinks & service is always fantastic!
Stopped by Hacienda Playa for a drink with my girlfriend. Was absolutely fantastic per usual. Super friendly bartenders, as well as staff that are very attentive and are always asking you if you are okay! Gave us chips and kept refilling the chips nonstop the whole time that we were there. Reasonable prices, and a great place to stop for a quick drink. Definitely will stop by again!

I work for amazon and I came in to get food. Pat, the Manager and his crew were so nice and gave me an awesome service! Their food is great and the staff were very nice. Thank you so much!

Low end trashy restaurant. Trashy, dirty, low end food and energy. Very poor quality.

Interestingly, I have lived in Playa Del Rey for over 25 years and have never been to this restaurant, or their other location in Playa Del Rey. My friend suggested it and I'm glad she did as it was an enjoyable experience. There is a spacious and comfortable seating area in the back. The food came quick and was delicious. Our server was pleasant and attentive to our needs. I plan to return with my son.

Never been disappointed by the food or service. It's the first place my out of town friends want to go out to eat.

*Complimentary chips are great, however didn't keep them coming along with the water *Service was personable but it was spotty and inconsistent. When it was there,it was great *Food was very bland. Which is very unfortunate Wouldn't go back unless it was for happy hour chips and drinks. Better off getting margs at home and getting street tacos off the street.

Stopped here for lunch on a Monday with my boyfriend and his mom. Immediately our server was kind and inviting and sure to let us know our dog could sit outside with us. He made jokes throughout the meal which we loved, an incredible and welcoming atmosphere. I believe his name was Elberto. The complimentary chips and salsa which came out before anything else. I particularly loved the red salsa but my boyfriend and his mom liked the green more. The chips were fresh and yummy. I ordered a fish burrito which wasn't on the menu. I was hoping for it to be Baja fried fish with all the normal fixings but it was grilled so didn't have the flavor I was expecting. The burrito however was pretty good. It was quality food but nothing crazy impressive. My boyfriend got the fajita burrito which he seemed to really enjoy. His mom for the combination plate with two hard tacos and an enchilada which she really liked. She noted that the crunchy taco was actually crunchy and wasn't oily. She also got their soup and loved it and would highly recommend! Overall a good meal and great service. I plan on coming back to try something new!

We had a great time listening to some live Jazz, game on in the back ground. We had steak and shrimp and a tostada/salad bowl. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was cool chill vibes with cool laid back people enjoying the live music. The service was prompt and attentive. We're looking forward to going back for another round.
Wonderful Mexican food and staff. They also have awesome triva on select nights with prizes....

This place is a nightmare. It took almost two hours to get our food and get out of this hell hole. It ended up taking five of these brain surgeons to unbolt the chairs from table, give us menus, take our order, deliver food and get the check. We even told them we had an appointment in an hour and a half from when we arrived. The food is also mediocre at best, way overpriced, and took 40 minutes to get burritos. The parking is terrible and the place is dirty.

We tried this place a few weekends ago. I hadn't been there in years but it used to be one of my favorite spots when I lived nearby. Not sure if my tastes have changed or the food went downhill but it definitely wasn't the gem I remembered it to be. We'll start with the michelada. I think they use clamato. It wasn't good. The guacamole was weirdly creamy (like the kind you buy in a pouch in the refrigerated section of a market), not like the kind you scoop directly from fresh avocados. Also not good. The server was really friendly, but didn't bring us any chips with the guac, so it sat there until a guy brought our main entrees out and we asked him to bring us chips. Our waters needed to be refilled... which didn't happen. The burritos were the best part, but they weren't anything special. I do like that they have a ground beef option (not just carne asada), but the red sauce was pretty bland. Maybe it was just a bad day for them. For nostalgic reasons, I do want to go back once more and see if it's any better. When I do, I'll update my review. Parking - plenty of street parking and there is a free lot. Patio - there's a covered patio along with an interior. Lots of space, and TVs too. The ambiance is fun.
