La Hacienda Real

Best Latino Cuisine in Oregon

by Horaites

Enjoyed an evening at La Hacienda Real with the seven Latino friends on a busy Saturday night. To a one they felt that this restaurant is the best in the state. Incidentally only one was a local Latino, the rest of the party came from Ontario, The Dalles, Portland, and Klamath Falls. Myself , a resident of Medford, Oregon, where our Mexican restaurants are seldom frequented by members of our large Latino minority, I was also pleased to see so many other tables filled with Latino families. I love authentic ethnic restaurants that don't pander to what the larger (in this instance) Anglo community thinks a non-Anglo cuisine should taste like.

The menu was extensive, and if you like mariscos then La Hacienda will not disappoint you. Looking for a "lite" option? Try the botana de mar. Something that I have never seen offered anywhere else, but just another example of how La Hacienda Real stretches one's thinking about what constitutes great Latino Cuisine.

• Pros: The food is the real deal. It delights the taste buds and is amplily served
• Cons: Actual tables are too small to accommodate the plates et al.

Aboslutely the best

by ranchelmarie

La Hacienda is THE best Mexian food in the area. I recently moved cross country and still dream about their delicious food, especially the freshly made torillas at least once a week. I can't wait untilt he next time I visit Salem so I can go to La Hacienda.

Service is great, menu is extensive and portions are ample, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

• Pros: food, service, atmosphere, everything!
• Cons: pretty much busy all the time, but that can't be helped at such an excellent restaurant

Huge Menu of Delicious Food!

La Hacienda is my favorite mexican restaurant in salem! it's prices are reasonable, and portions large! With the usual chips and salsa you get refried beans and a cabbage salad type thing to eat with your chips as well. I reccomend going at lunch time, it's a tad busy but the service is still fast. They have a lunch special every day for 4.95 and other lunch items for not much more than that! I reccomend the Pollo A La crema it's amazing! I definitely recommend La Hacienda!

• Pros: The food and fast service
• Cons: Always busy
