Little Hacienda

“‼️ EXPENSIVE ‼️We ordered rice for me and the kids, but my wife ordered a fajita burrito. We all got water. Anybody want to guess the 💲? $44. $44 for water, 4 servings of rice, and a fajita burrito. 🤑 not including the tip. Folks, Mexican food is Mexican food. We live in Mexico and I’ve never eaten a bite of Mexican fajitas that was worth $18. Is it good? Sure, but they’re not using gold covered beef, y’all. Fancying up the restaurant isn’t making the food taste any better. It’s just Americanized Mexican food. Nothing special about it. And putting a spritz of greenery on top of the burrito won’t make it taste better or make it worth a steep price. Prices are up? Yeah, okay. But just be forewarned, those of you who read these Google Reviews, you can’t beat a Gordita down the street at Taco Bell. You will be welcome here with your everyday vacation clothes on, but this place is for the classy, successful adults who have teenage children and wear RL Polo blue label t-shirts with a spritz of Parfums de Marley Sedley or Dior Savage, khaki shorts, and leather dock shoes, or a flowing sundress with nice jewelry, and hair curled. But I must say, the service was great. The place was clean. The staff are friendly. If I’m ever in town on a business trip, this is where I’d go to eat lunch because the restaurant has a classiness about it. Anyway, this is just an informative type of review. Got money? Go here. Don’t have money? You can’t afford it. Or put it on the credit card.”

“Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Great atmosphere, the food was unique and amazing, and the horchata was an unexpected surprise. Couldn't recommend more. Would give 10 stars if possible.”

“The is the best Mexican cuisine we have experienced. We have travelled and eaten all throughout Texas, Arkansas, and the rest of the south United States. Nothing compares. The depth of flavors the chef has achieved here is otherworldly. Few bites in my lifetime have brought tears to my eyes, but the enchiladas verdes with fresh green sauce and fresh herbs was one of them. The steak was beautifully cooked and marinated in a mix I wish I could achieve at home. The carnitas were crisp on the edges and fall-apart tender as they should be. The chicken and cheese enchiladas were perfect. Their house salsa has a fresh snap of heat and the chips are crisp and well made. I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary from the bar and was blown away! It was huge and so very well mixed with plenty of jalapeños and olives. The restaurant is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The restrooms are exceptionally clean and well decorated. This is not your run-of-the-mill meal. This is a culinary experience that you will remember for all the right reasons. We will make the 3 hour drive again just for this restaurant.”

“Visited Little Hacienda in Branson on a Sunday. There is no obvious entrance from outside clearly visible if cars are parked in front of the little gate. The front door was so stiff, I couldn’t get it open and started to turn around when the hostess opened it for me. I was alone, so the “how many” question seemed unnecessary. How about saying “party of one?” The dining room was nice and there was also seating at the bar. A waitress immediately asked for a drink order, and I like to look at the menu first. I did order a vanilla latte coffee which was not sweet. Later the waitress asked about it and I told her that usually a vanilla latte is sweet so she did remake it for me, better this time. There was a small communication gap when I asked about the flavor of a particular sauce topping. Sometimes ppl need to ask about the flavors involved, so this didn’t enhance my knowledge of the dish at all. I opted to get the chicken enchilada and was not disappointed. It was very good Mexican food, which is an art. The refried beans were in a little dish and it must have had cheese on top. It turned out to be very good. I got to take some home, which is always a plus. The pricing leans to the higher side with plenty of cocktails to be had. Wine was about $8/glass, which is fairly reasonable. The restroom was very clean, though my food was almost taken away by another waitress as I was returning. 😳 Overall, it was a very nice restaurant, though it seemed that they catered more to families or larger parties than to singles. I would give the food a high rating and would recommend having waitstaff who can describe the ingredients or flavors involved in the dishes. Also, give ppl a chance to sit down and look at the menu so they don’t feel rushed or pressured to order a drink.”

“Nothing really wrong with the place, it’s a very nice restaurant with good (weird) decor and the wait staff were good at what they do. I wouldn’t visit again due to the food. The Chicken enchiladas with verde sauce. And it was a very creamy sauce like something else had been added (avocado maybe) The rice was the best part. It’s was very good. The refried beans were very tasty but there were no beans in it. They had been blended down to a thick soup Weird They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. I don’t hardly carry cash anymore so I got the fee Problem is, that’s their charge. The cost of doing business. Bad business practices Overall it wasn’t bad but for the price it wasn’t good either”
