Grand Hacienda — Restaurant in Florida

Cesar is a great asset to this place. He is personable and efficient. The food is consistently good. Every table I sit at is my favorite spot!

So fresh so delicious. Thanks Juan! Try the Pineapple Fajita! It is savory and original. The pico de gallo is phenomenal. I recommend the Charro Beans. Slow cooked to perfection. Why wait for dessert? I order my churros to enjoy with my coffee for Sunday brunch after church.

Fantastic service from Caesar.

I love Grand Hacienda. I look forward to coming here every time I come to Tampa. It is definitely worth the drive from Orlando.

Daysa was my server today and she remembered that I love table-side guacamole.

The coffee is always piping hot and comes in an earthenware mug that lets you savor each sip.

The house margarita is my favorite; they will even pack it wrapped in a to-go cup :)

Their chips and salsa are perfection. Fresh and complex.

I love the Mexican Street Corn. It comes perfectly seasoned with lime garnish.

I am a regular here. Arlenis was very good. We had two small children with our party.

I brought my friend and she is designating this place as her new girls night out hangout!

The mango margarita pitcher was the star of the show. It was delicious (strong) and a great value.

Sulian was my server and she remembered that I love the tableside guac.

I love starting with the churro and coffee.

It was my first time trying the sizzling steak fajita today. My new fave. A delight to the senses. The sound, the smoke the smell and the savory flavor. AMAZING. Suli is amazing. She always remembers me. :)

I tried the chilaquiles today for the first time. It reminds me of my vacation in Puerto Vallarta.

I recommend the Birria Ramen; it comes with two quesadillas. It is the ultimate comfort food.

For dessert I love the churros with ice cream.

I haven’t had a dining experience this bad in years. Pros: smiley, friendly waitress. Cool decor. Chips & salsa. Cons: 9,000 degrees inside. It was actually cooler outside with a breeze at 6pm. Our margarita pitcher sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes so it was very watered down by the time it came out. Also couldn’t taste any tequila. The food took a long time, and then it was extremely bland. Shrimp tacos with cubed pineapple, veggies, and no sauce. Very dry. My husband’s burrito was a big slab of pulled chicken, beans, and rice with no sauce or flavor wrapped in a shell. We asked for some sort of sauce to help us the swallow the food down, and they brought us a very spicy chipotle sauce (good but a warning would’ve been nice). I had to change my baby, and the bathroom was nice but again 9,000 DEGREES. There was a line because there are 2 bathrooms. I’m at least thankful we sat on the left side of the restaurant because the right side (near the bathrooms) was so hot, people were red and fanning themselves. We were all so miserable. 😂 We were so excited about a new restaurant in the area but please god redo everything, so we can get a cool place that is more than looks...

I have to say I've been here a few times before and today was the worst experience I've ever had. I ordered the cucumber based margarita and it was so spicy that I couldn't drink. When I said something to the bartender she simply replied I don't know why it is spicy I have not put anything spicy in it. I have ordered this margarita every single time I have been to this restaurant and never was it spicy there was obviously a mistake on her part. Eisen ordered for an appetizer the queso fundido. All I can say is EWWWW. Again I ordered an item I could not eat there was so much freaking grease it was disgusting. It was like one big hard mess. What even made it worse is when I asked for the bill, it was obvious that I did not touch my meal or drink and yet wasn't asked if there was something else I would like or to offer a discount. I'm not talking like a freebie meal I'm talking like I did not touch my food and took one sip out of my margarita and drank water and still nothing was offered to make my visit better. The bartender was too busy flirting with the guy at the end of the bar to even notice how insulted I was. I won't be coming back here it just was that bad of...
