Our volleyball team was in town for the state finals. Hacienda Leon was highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. They easily accommodated our reservation time and group us all together in their side room. The food was excellent and arrived quickly. The service was very good.

Both of the meals we ordered were subpar. Before our food arrived The chips and salsa brought to the table fore-shadowed our disappointing meal. The salsa appeared to have been watered down like cheap booze and tasted as weak as it looked. (See photo). The Taco salad was missing any cheese. When asked, the waiter said it was on the bottom. No amount of digging uncovered any cheese. The ground beef was woefully under-seasoned, and the lettuce was not soggy but literally wet. The shape (like a very large fried taco) leaked water (not sauce) onto the plate around it. I had the #11 combo meal with chicken. The Taco was barely warm and the chicken meat was also under-seasoned and wet. The only difference between the "burrito" and the enchilada was size. These too were wet not with sauce but watery. I opened them up to see if there was a difference between them inside and there was none. (See photo). I expected the enchilada to be made with a corn tortilla but liked the burrito it was a flour tortilla. Essentially these two items were the same. Neither one was more than warm. They were both drenched in a red sauce which tasted not complex like a good mole should be but simply of roasted peppers. I get the impression that Hacienda Leon is resting on it's laurels. Disappointed

I wanted to try this place out and just kept forgetting this place. I wanted Tacos and it was taco Tuesday. I called place order for taco’s and so glad I tried it. I give them a 5 star. Food was delicious and it was bigger than a regular taco from anywhere else. I’ll be going back lots more. Thank you for the great food and excellent customer service!

Review written 10/03/2025. Very quick service. Just be sure it’s accurate because I ordered cheesy rice and didn’t receive it but they fixed it promptly Super good guacamole
Not quite 5 stars because: Very basic tasting salsa Very basic tortilla chips

We were there at a really busy time. Food was ok. Service was slow and inattentive, but it was a homecoming night, so I'll cut them a break.

Customer service is outstanding! Also, they have a wonderful menu with tasty options for omnivores and vegans. I will return as often as I can.

Nice big menu. Love the fact have a big selection on kids menu, with a good price. Big selection on lunch section. 11-3. Good prices.

Decent food. Service and atmosphere was good. Would avoid the chicken, it was shredded and not flavorful.
