Staff was rude and unwelcoming from the hostess to the server. The staff made us feel as if we were an annoyance. Food was over priced and mediocre at best. The server rolled his eyes when questioned about the menu.The calamari tasted like it was cooked in old oil and they were served overcooked. It was so bad we couldn't even eat it. The server never came to check on us for drinks or if we needed anything. A member of our party, who is not a big eater, had asked for a quesadilla which is only offered on the childrens menu which adults are not allowed to order from. They accomodated by doubling the price of the quesadilla and charging an extra $20 for adding overcooked grilled chicken to this item. It was a terrible experience and my family will not be returning. The ONLY nice thing about this restaurant is that it has fireworks views. The food and service was well below what is expected for Wdw with much higher prices. I was looking forward to eating here for months, and was highly disappointed!
Pros:
Fireworks viewCons:

The dishes you see in the pictures left by guests.. well if going to La Hacienda post covid forget it.. all dishes portions got reduced by almost half (not prices, these went up) , the Parillada for 2 people which before pandemic was served with 8 pieces of shrimp got REDUCED to 4 med to small shrimps (2 shrimps each person LOL) for $64 dollars the platter came with a LOT of corn (about 2 cans) 4 shrimps and 4 small scallops plus a small piece of fish to share.. well if you like to overpay for corn knock yourself out... it would be hilarious if not at a cost of $64!!! The server was honest to explain that portions got reduced post pandemic.. but didn’t warn us about it before suggesting us to order this dish.. just ridiculous that Disney has done that.. really??? ripping off guests to recoup covid losses?
Pros:
Beautiful.. water view.Cons:
Pricey and not worth the money, manager informed us the food portions got reduced post covid!! *** not pricesReviewed by Wendy Writes Review Date: 05/04/2014

The food was not good. The restaurant is noisy. The service was okay. They do not take Tables in Wonderland but give DVC 20% but only on two dinners.
Overall I would skip this restaurant since there are many other choices that are far better.
Pros:
Nice locationCons:

We LOVE Mexican food - having a few misses at San Angel recently, we decided to give up the atmosphere across the street to try La Hacienda.
We were seated very close to our ADR time. The atmosphere was underwhelming (probably because I was comparing it to San Angel - which isn't fair).
DH and I treated ourselves to a couple of Margaritas. I had the Mango Blueberry Basil - it was tasty enough..but not nearly as interesting as I thought it would be..basically a decent regular margarita with a few blueberries and bits of basil leaves floating in it. DH had the Orange Mango Fire and did not like it at all. Which is odd because he loves margaritas and all things spicy. This just had a not-great-flavor.
On to the food:
I had the Tacos de Camarones (fried shrimp) - Very good. I enjoyed the flavors but found myself wishing they were not deep fried shrimp about 1/2 through. DH had the Pescado a la Talla (tilapia) and did not enjoy it at all - it was super fishy. I had a few bites and totally agree. DD11 is a Disney Adult - nothing appealed to her so they were kind enough to offer and chicken/cheese quesadilla. It was a very nice gesture but unfortuately it was ice cold when it arrived. DS9 had the kids chicken tacos and liked them.
Dessert was a fail (and we LOVE our desserts so that is saying something) - We had the apple pastry with caramel sauce (which is a Pepperidge Farm apple turnover) - The chocolate custard (which was fine) and the sweet corn ice cream (which was sprinkled with popcorn and chili powder and was just plain nasty).
We will not be adding this to our ADR list anytime soon, if at all. 🙁

The food was OK. It is NOT traditional Mexican food and it was extremely overpriced. We had a large group and were crammed into a corner with no view of the lake or anything else. I would not recommend this restaurant and we will not be returning. I am not a Disney food snob and find most Disney restaurants acceptable. Save your money and go to Be Our Guest instead.

My family didn’t enjoy the food and the service was a little on the slow side. The atmosphere was dark and felt dated. Too expensive for what it was.
Pros:
Air conditioning Easy to get a reservationCons:

The Atmosphere here is lovely. Where things went a bit downhill for us started with the service. It was fine, not the Disney type of service we had become use to since arriving. My daughter is vegetarian, she basically told her she good give her a double kids meal of a quesdilla. She asked for fruit as a side, she got corn. She didn't want to make a fuss about it, so we didn't say anything. She asked for salsa and sour cream, which the server brought, but brought it with our appitizer, so we had eaten half of it by the time her meal arrived. I'm sure we could have asked for more, but again, no one came and asked how we were doing during the meal. I got the pork tacos, which were good, not great. My daughers quesadilla was just that....cheese and tortillas.
Pros:
AmbianceCons:
Not great for vegetarians, service was not Disney standards (could have just been our serve. Expensive for food that was just good, not great.Reviewed by mhw Review Date: 05/29/2021

My family dined at La Hacienda in May 2021. While our view of the World Showcase lake was great, the food was on okay. The margaritas, chips and guacamole were wonderful. However, the food including the shrimp tacos (recommended by our server) and the Parrillada Del Mar were not up to Disney's standards and food at other EPCOT restaurants like Le Cellier, Rose and Crown Pub, etc.
Pros:
Margaritas, Chips and Guacamole.Cons:
While drinks and appetizers were good, the entrees were not that good.Reviewed by SarahDe Review Date: 05/10/2021

I was so disappointed in this restaurant. I got the flautas and I couldn’t even eat them. They had chunks of gristle and rubbery fat. I gagged. I traded plates with my husband. He ordered the fish tacos. They were ok, but way way to sweet with that pineapple relish and didn’t have enough aoli sauce. Also, the flour tortillas were thick and doughy. I only gave this restaurant a 3, instead of a 1 because the margaritas were pretty good.
Pros:
Good margaritas and good guacamole.Cons:
Bad food and expensive.Reviewed by CapitolFred Review Date: 05/10/2021

If you don't have good Mexican food where you live, then maybe this works. However, for everyone else, La Hacienda is subpar food with a huge price tag. For the ambiance, I give in a 9 out of 10. But the quality of the food is so much better at your local mom and pop taco shop. Overall, I would give La Hacienda a pass.
