We had lunch here with family who live in the area. It was our first time here and I was very impressed with how nice and well kept this place is. The restaurant, lobby area and the restrooms were immaculate. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was so kind, patient and professional. We had people arriving a bit late and she calmly checked in on us every couple minutes. All of the staff we met were gracious and attentive. My food arrived hot and was good but somewhat typical of many Mexican restaurants. This was a great place for us to visit with loved ones where we were treated as important guests. I do recommend La Hacienda Real on Commercial in Salem.

This was our first time eating here, and overall I’d call it a mixed experience. We came in for a late dinner around 8 p.m. with a group of nine.
The atmosphere immediately stood out — the décor felt warm and authentic, and right at the entrance there was a lady making fresh tortillas by hand, which was really cool to watch. They also have a wall full of awards they’ve won over the years, which set the bar high for us before we even sat down.
Our waiter was friendly but a bit hard to understand. He mumbled a lot and it made it hard to understand his Spanish, and when we asked questions he often gave playful or unclear answers, which made ordering a little frustrating.
The menu itself was huge — pages and pages of options. Normally I love variety, but here it felt overwhelming. I always try a combo plate on my first visit to a Mexican restaurant so I can sample a few things, so I went with the Grande Combination Plate with a chimichanga, burrito, and enchilada (shredded beef and chicken). I also ordered an horchata.
To their credit, the food came out surprisingly fast for a table of nine. My parents were big fans of their meals — though they don’t have many good Mexican options where they live, so they were especially happy. A few of us thought the shredded beef lacked flavor, which was disappointing because it looked great. The chicken filling, however, was seasoned well and really tasty.
The fresh tortillas, which I was most excited for, ended up being a let-down. They were thin and flat, not the soft and fluffy style

Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Friendly servers, clean booths, salsa, and bean dips were perfect. The food was amazing. I had the 3 item combo. 2 chicken enchiladas and one chicken taco. Chicken was moist and jucy. When in the Salem area, this place is a must.

A lot of great menu options, once I settled on my entree it was amazing! Especially the bacon wrapped shrimp was delicious! The staff were patient and attentive as we struggled on what to order.

My wife and I had a late lunch there and the food was delicious and the service was impeccable! I even made an inquiry about the newest Corona Cerveza that was offered, and the food server was kind enough to bring a bottle out for me to examine. We had such a nice lady for a food server, but then everyone there at the restaurant was very kind and welcoming to us upon entering. We will certainly return there again for more great, authentic, Mexican food!

We come often and it’s always great service and the food is awesome. Always comes out super hot and fresh no matter what you get. We went tonight for a celebratory dinner and our server Manuel I believe was his name was great. He was SO FAST with every request and everything he brought over. He checked in on us but let us enjoy our food. We got some piña coladas and they were AMAZING (my family has a Mexican restaurant on the coast and the piña coladas are my favorite and this was SO CLOSE). We sat down and within seconds they took our drink order and brought chips and salsa. I was there this weekend and they were packed, and the wait is never bad for their drinks or food. Our server just did amazing tonight and we loved our dinner and drinks (and desert too). My husband had the trio I think and I had asada with shrimp!

Food was delicious. The verde sauce was sooo good 5/5!! Enchiladas were yummy but pretty typical in flavoring 4/5. Also ordered cocktail de Cameron and it had a lot of flavors added which was nice but it had some fishy flavor to it so 3/5.
For drinks we ordered margaritas and pina coladas. Both were heavy on the liquor pour, win! However the pina colada could use a bit more coconut and fresh pineapple. As on the menu it states fresh pineapple chunks and I didn’t locate any nor did it taste like any had been blended in. It tasted like a tiny bit of pina colada syrup, lots of cream, ice and blend it. Hadley any flavor besides cream. I was really disappointed after our server raved about it. 1/5. Margaritas both individuals downed them and said they were tasty 5/5!!
The restaurant pays attention to detail when it comes to decorating down to every bench and chair being personally engraved with their restaurant’s name. So unique and cool! Our little ones loved all the horse engravings and painted mural! 5/5
Now for the BEST part the FRESH tortillas made right when you walk in the door!!!! OH MY WORD!!! They were sooo yummy!! 10/10!!

We went there for the first time. Lovely place. Food was a 5/10. My chicken quarter tasted like reheated day old chicken. You know that leftover chicken taste. The beans, corn tortillas, shrimp, salsa, small skirt steak and fresh/grilled veggies were good. Rice was bland. The pork roast aka shredded pork was ok. The enchiladas were different. Sauce was missing something. I think this place for sure caters more to American tastes. All the staff were really nice. I’ve ate a lot of different styles of Mexican food and I cook it myself. Just not our expectation.

Kitchy-classic Mexican fare. Above average quality. Great drinks. Home made tortillas that are on their own worth getting for takeout
Comprehensive menu. Targeted to the general population, but will please someone who grew up on the border.

The food here was absolutely amazing! My friend got the pork carnitas platter and I got the chicken fajita nachos, mind you I ordered the small and I have no idea what would have happened if I had ordered the large. That plate was gigantic. I was also very surprised, given the high quality food, the comfortable seating, and how packed it was, that the service here was so lacking. Had to ask for everything twice from different people, and only one out of the six servers ever really smiled. Couldn’t take a star away though, the food was too good.
