La Hacienda - Peterborough

As a Mexican native, I can assure you that this restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine that truly feels like a taste of home. The dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients and made from scratch.

This charming spot truly captured the essence of dining in quaint Mexican villages.

I am from a big city in Canada and came across La Hacienda while studying at Trent University. Now, every time I visit Peterborough, I make sure to dine at this restaurant.

My family and I (a family of 4) came to La Hacienda just as a quick stop on the way to a further destination. The meal far exceeded our expectations for the evening; ingredients were fresh and flavours were unique. Despite being there for dinner I ordered from the lunch menu, the Tacos Al Pastor, which were filled with pork loin and pineapple. The tangy sweetness of the pineapple greatly complimented the pork and the overall flavour was tasty and delicious. The Enchiladas de Mole were rich and nutty, and portion sizes were perfect. They are accommodating to kids, and service was warm and welcoming. The only drawback was that they ran out of churros for dessert, but I would definitely recommend and go back.

Visited La Hacienda for the first time with my daughter who goes regularly. The atmosphere and food are very authentic. The staff is pleasant and the service was great, even though it was pretty busy. Visited with my husband and daughter who is vegetarian and she absolutely loves the food! She had the ensalada de Nopal and the Soupa Azteca. We had various tacos and loved all of them. The food is fresh and authentic for sure! It does get a little busy so going on off peak times is a good option.
