La Placita, Albuquerque, New Mexico Restaurant Details

Food:

Absolutely terrible. Food quality has gone downhill drastically lately. Owner is extremely rude and actually told me to go to another restaurant if I didn't like it there. This was after he got heated and admitted the wait time was a bogus wait time and his kitchen isn't nearly big enough for his tables. In short, try anywhere else first. I wouldn't even consider this place as a last resort.

Food:

Great atmosphere; this place definitely fits in with the Old Town charm. Food is authentic New Mexican, so don't expect to find sushi in your tacos or anything.

I'm not sure where all the negative reviews are coming from. The service was prompt and the food was good. I wasn't the best I've had in ABQ, but it was worth a trip.

Food:

Visiting from Dallas Tx. After sitting down heard a complaint from table next to us that their chicken was full of cartilage. My wife ordered a root beer for starters,never got it. At time of serving our food finally said was out of root beer.When got our chicken taco's I bit into a bone. Discovered my chicken in taco had a third of cartilage in it as well. My wife's taco was cold. Told waitress we were leaving and did not pay!

Food:

A friend and I went to eat there last night. I had the chicken taco plate. WELL! Later that night I became extremely sick with severe diarrhea. My son had eaten my leftovers that I brought home, he also got extremely sick with diarrhea. I should have followed my common sense. The shredded chicken tasted awful, like boiled chicken, it didn't have one bit of seasoning, not even salt or pepper or garlic, nothing. I was sick all morning with diarrhea today and so was my son. I will NEVER eat there again.

Food:

What a shame! This old hacienda is one of the most important landmarks in Old Albuquerque. I (vaguely) remember eating here as a kid 45 years ago. I was enthralled with the tree growing out of the roof and the mariachis. I was too young to evaluate the food then but since we went there often, I assume it was quite good. Today... well they still have the tree growing out of the roof. That's all I can say in a positive way. Go to Church Street or the High Noon in old town instead. No... not La Hacienda either. Better yet try Sadies about 5 miles north got REAL New Mexican food and service!
