"This is our first time eating here at La Hacienda, we will definitely be coming back the food was delicious. If you have not tried this place you are missing out no lie."

- GASPAR P.

"Little place just off of I-40 in Moriarty, NM. New Mexican cuisine, burgers, steaks. Dining room has about 10 tables and a small bar. We were seated quickly and the server was quick and attentive. Chips and salsa arrived. Salsa made of green chili was good(delicious with good flavor) but not very hot/spicy. Food arrived in about ten minutes and everything was as ordered. I ordered the enchilada plate with the red chili (also flavorful, but not very hot/spicy). There were 4 of us for dinner and we also had the chimichangas and the fajita bowl. All were prepared as expected and delicious. La Hacienda is a cozy spot that is clean with good food at reasonable prices and good value. The staff are courteous and efficient."

"As a person who travels across the country and occasionally indulges himself, I am ABSOLUTELY blown away. The flavor profile on my dish was divine. I am having a hard time processing how delicious everything was. This experience has fundamentally changed the way I review restaurants moving forward. I ate a medium steak and chimichanga with extra rice and beans, and it surpassed expectations I didn't even have. The hint of charcoal on my steak was something I didn't think I needed to taste till now. The fat was so tender that it felt like biting on water. The flavor of the beans and rice was better than 50% of any other food I've ever reviewed. Trucker friendly, plenty of space to pull a truck in to eat the best Mexican food of your life."

"My husband and I ate here this evening after driving 12 hours and needless to say, the food was absolutely delicious. There were only 2 servers working so the food did take a little bit but that was fine since we weren't in a hurry. I had the beef street tacos which were packed with plenty of meat. It came with a side of beans which were good as well. But as we were leaving, we found out that 2 guys paid for our food. We were both speechless and happy! Anywho, I highly recommend this place."

- Brandie L.

"This is by far one of our favorite places in the area. Our go-to is always the steak and enchilada because everything is cooked to perfection and is generously served. I have zero complaints on both the food and the service. The two young ladies that wait tables are freaking FAST and efficient at their jobs and we always make it a point to tip well."

- Chelsea P.

"I'd like to show you the chimichanga I ordered, but it didn't last long enough for me to get my camera out. But here is the menu. Enjoy!"

- Finkle S.

"The steak was about 50% fat. Also, it had a weird texture to it. The chimichanga, rice and beans was delicious. No sweet tea or lemonade available. Service was slow but they were busy and might have been short staffed."

- Eduard T.
