Ever had homemade guacamole prepared table side? What about a Burrito a La Pina, which includes grilled chicken, chorizo and pineapple topped with cheese and chipotle sauce? Heard of the Chimichurri Steak? It includes grilled steak, Mexican street elote, rice, veggies and shrimp. Hungry yet? Then head to La Hacienda in Mount Pleasant located at the Oakland Market.
“We strive for our staff to be friendly and always caring to our customers. We want our customers to have an enjoyable meal,” said Yesenia Leon, manager of La Hacienda. “We have a dish for everyone.”
Their Mount Pleasant location has been open for at least a decade and has been a staple in many family’s households. La Hacienda has been voted Best Mexican restaurant for many years now.
“We have won other awards in the past,” boasted Leon. “It’s awesome! We love to see customers enjoy our restaurant.”
What keeps La Hacienda on everyone’s radar is the fact they switch their menu on a yearly basis. Keeping it fresh. Keeping Mexican tradition alive in their fajitas, Texas rice, nachos, chipotle enchiladas and burritos.
“Our carnitas are awesome,” said Leon. “You won’t be disappointed! These are lean pork chunks marinated and cooked, slowly simmered for four hours. The result is a juicy center and crisp outside.”
When a restaurant showcasing true authentic dishes, it literally will take you to their homeland. Not only is the food delicious but their beverages as well. La Hacienda uses only the freshest juices when making their signature cocktails like the margarita.
The La Hacienda’s brand has been in the Charleston area for more than 30 years. This is a major accomplishment. Not many locally owned restaurants can say that. Providing great customer service is their number one priority. The atmosphere makes customers feel welcome when they come in.
“We have always wanted La Hacienda to be a place you can go with your family and not worry about your children being loud. It is a place where you can eat a good Mexican meal and have a drink,” said Leon. “La Hacienda has been here the longest because of the quality of our food. At our restaurant, everyone can be happy.”
La Hacienda extends the warmest welcome to all customers, whether you’re dining for the first time or a regular who the friendly and helpful staff know by name. Everyone, from the kitchen staff to the front of the house, truly believes that “mi casa es su casa.”
In this climate of food and beverage, support a place that puts customers first. Come to a place that understands quality. Come to a place that appreciates their customers. The next time you want authentic Mexican food, come to La Hacienda.
