   The food was delicious with generous portions, but the service was frustrating. The server pushed an unexpected $280 drink without informing the group about size or price, and water service was abysmal—taking 45 minutes and requiring multiple requests for cups. Tracking down the server afterward was difficult, and when found, he was dismissive. While the mariachi entertainment was enjoyable, the poor service put a damper on the celebration. Advice: arrive prepared, avoid unexpected items, and manage expectations for service delays.

   My husband and I took some of our friends there for the first time it was amazing. The place is really nice love the music,food and drinks. The only thing is you have to pay for your salsa for your food and there’s no diet pop. Our friends are diabetic so they needed something to control their sugar. Otherwise, in that I would go again.

   Five Stars Isn’t Enough for Hacienda Calavera – A Birthday to Remember! I celebrated my birthday at Hacienda Calavera, and I am still glowing from the experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was electric—warm, vibrant, and full of life. The décor was stunning, with just the right balance of rustic charm and bold, artistic flair that made every corner feel photo-worthy. The staff? Absolutely phenomenal. They treated us like royalty from start to finish, making sure every detail was perfect and that my birthday felt truly special. And the food… wow. Every bite was a burst of flavor—fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. I’m still dreaming about the [insert your favorite dish here, e.g., mole enchiladas or mezcal-glazed ribs]! To top it all off, the cocktails were divine—expertly mixed and dangerously delicious. We laughed, we danced, we ate like kings, and it felt like the entire evening was crafted just for us. Thank you, Hacienda Calavera, for making my birthday unforgettable. You’ve gained a lifelong fan!

   Front door, hostess not sure what they are, rude and attitude… brought a cake for our guest and clearly they were not careful with it! By the time it got to our table it looked horrible. The “Happy Birthday Menu” was not ready, we waited like 20min for it! Our server was amazing! Food was amazing and so were the drinks! We did ask other staff for more chips, like 3-4 times and it took forever to get. Not sure I would go back, if I did it would be because I was invited but not by choice.
