So on our way out to a camping/lake trip, we decided to take a side trip into Liberal, show Erin where she was born and revisit our old haunt. However, fate was not on our side as this object of our affection was closed on Mondays. Dan was bummed and so I quickly scanned the internet for a consolation choice and came across La Hacienda. It had some positive online buzz, so away we went.
I am regretting that I didn't get an exterior photo because it was located in an old drive-in restaurant and honestly looked a bit sketchy. But we were starving and nothing but Mexican food was going to do. Upon entering, we were relieved to find the interior clean and attractive. We were having a late lunch at around 2 p.m. so we almost had the place to ourselves.
The menu was pretty extensive and cheap. Lots of combo-type platters for $8.95. They even had a special for $5.95, a smothered burrito with red or green chili sauce. The menu also featured a lot of seafood choices including a fish soup which I was really tempted to try. The seafood entrees were priced in the $14 range. The menu featured breakfast items, as well.
We snacked on chips and salsa during the short wait for our meals. The chips were crispy and kind of unusual in that they were strips. The salsa had a good flavor and a pretty good kick to it. The service was quick and efficient.
My meal was a chicken enchilada, a tamale, a guacamole tostada, rice and beans. Did I mention I gained 4 pounds this week? |

Who orders pancakes at a Mexican food place? This one. |
Oh honey! |
