Hacienda Lopez - Mohegan Lake

I visited this restaurant since I was a kid. It never disappoints. The most delicious and fresh guacamole and authentic dishes. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Really nice decor. Two times here. 1. was 9 years ago when it had another name, I thought good.. This time the food was a little better, had the Tres Amigos, Chicken, Cheese and Beef Enchiladas. I didn't read the menu correctly, didn't notice the cheese, I didn't get it. The beef and the chicken itself had no favor. The sauce upstairs was decent. The rice, bland and fried beans good taste, really small potion. The red sauce that came with the chips was delicious. The guacamole, okay, needed more cilantro, also small potion, 1/4 avocados, for 12 dollars it not worth it. My favorite was the live Mariachis, probably interested, really good.

Food was not authentic at all and tastes like it was going bad. Looks like it was prepared lazy. So expensive too. $71 for 2 people (one appetizer, two entrees).

Been coming here 22 years. Pleasant environment, good food, Excellent service. Esmeralda makes the Best Drinks.

We were able to walk in on a Friday night around 7 PM and be seated immediately. There were still many available seats but people trickled in later. The food and drinks were generally good. I was really craving a margarita and I think this one almost hit the spot. All of the staff members were very friendly and the servers were very efficient. Everything was very fresh and flavorful and cooked perfectly. That was hands-down, the best shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had. I just moved to the neighborhood and this place is located right up the road from my home so I think I will be returning here again. There is also parking at this location which is very convenient. I think there’s at least one accessible parking spot right near the entrance. There’s only one bathroom with a single stall and it’s shared between the staff and customers, so there can be a bit of a wait in line.
