This is a very traditional, old-school Mexican restaurant and we loved it. The food was delicious and the waitress was so nice. It was a great place up spend an evening with my family.

First time visiting Hacienda. What a nice little spot with an outdoor patio. Perfect for small parties. Service was excellent. Food was very good. They even serve full breakfast! Ask for the extra spicy salsa. So good.

We came here around 9:30am hoping to try their menudo but it was sold out already. We ordered quesabirrias with the consome and an order of the green chilaquiles. The quesabirrias were yummy and the consome was full of flavor. I was surprised it was a thicker consistency like mole, but was delicious and perfect for the quesabirrias. On the other hand, the chilaquiles plate was not the best. The chilaquiles were very soggy all around and the green salsa was very sour, without much other flavor. The beans were tasty though. I've heard good things about this place so i'll have to come back and try other plates.

They greet you with a bowl of chips and 3 salsas. They were polite enough to let me know one was the hottest. Had most of my chips and couldn't stop eating the hottest salsa, had to be Habanero. The campechana is one of the most recommended by people who I work with in Santa Barbara; and they weren't wrong, this campechana has the coast of Mexico flavors. Yes I will agree with other reviewers here on yelp ., it is indeed a hidden Gem. I am glad to have come here and I am sure if I ever come to Santa Barbara again, it's a for sure thing I will stop here. Sorry no pictures was too busy devouring my food.

This is a somewhat hidden restaurant behind autozone in old town goleta. Super flavorful food and easy parking. I did not expect the restaurant to be so roomy and cute inside. They also have a full bar. The staff was friendly and quick. I got the creamy shrimp enchiladas with salad and rice. It was really good and the shrimp were decent sized.

La Hacienda serves solid Mexican food at a good price. The restaurant is tucked away on a side street in Old Town Goleta. There is a patio for outdoor dining and a medium size lot that makes it convenient to park. Pork chili verde was flavorful and tender, with plenty of tart verde sauce for dipping tortillas in. Beans were slightly under seasoned, but rice was seasoned well. The sauteed chicken and vegetable in cream sauce was delicious. Del Pueblo cafe in the Magnolia center is one other place that also has this dish. Chips, green and red salsa come complementary with every order. I was most impressed by the thick freshly griddle homemade tortillas. Most restaurants use store bought tortillas to save on labor, so I was won over anytime I see homemade tortillas.
