La Hacienda de Los Barrios

My wife and kids and I have been coming here for a while now.
There's a nice little playground for the kids to run off and play and the outside seating has mist fans now that make Texas weather a little more tolerable.
Most of my dining experiences here have been somewhat average but we went last night and I have to say it was the best I've had.
Our waiter Cain was extremely attentive and always nearby all I had to do was look up and lands his way and he was right on top of things.
The food came out quickly and was excellent preceded by delicious salsa with great house chips.
They have a handmade corn tortilla here that is to die for I definitely recommend trying that.
Overall this was an amazing experience mostly due to excellent service and great food! Highly recommended!

I visited last Wednesday with two friends that I hadn’t seen in decades 😱.
Our food was so delicious and well presented.
I had chicken enchiladas and my friends both had beef taco plates.
We started with mango margaritas and queso which went down a treat.
We thoroughly enjoyed our reunion and the tasty food.
The music was canceled due to rain but we will return.

My sister got sick from eating the Nachos.
Soup was small.
Salad was ok.
The lunch special Taco plate with Fajita was good. The waitress we had was perfunctionary but not very cheery.
The rest of the staff looked upset.
Whenever I see all the staff members at a restaurant looking unhappy, it ruins my meal. The restaurant was sparse.
It was a bit cool for lunchtime, so the seating outside was in a plastic bubble.
We had gone for the outside seating but were not seated there. The host staff was the grumpiest I have ever seen.
The short woman with the layers of pancake makeup needs to find another job.
Bottom line: It is the grumpy staff that ruined the atmosphere. I like it when the manager comes out for a few minutes to welcome the customer.
He would have seen the staffing unhappiness, and maybe he is the cause of it.
I am just guessing.
I get the feeling someone inherited this place, and he is not very interested in running it. Influencers write by getting paid.
I am tired of paid reviews.
This place looks like it is a tourist spot gone stale.
I am not going back.
Dang, it's San Antonio.
There are great places to eat all over town.
There are too many choices to settle for a meal here.
