La Hacienda - (Ameri) Mexican

One of the things that really sucks about moving is that you can't find anything for a little while. As a result, we've been eating out more than we usually would, as digging through boxes to find food just isn't fun after a long day of slinging code.

There is a pretty significant Hispanic population here, or least it seems given the population of the local churches (of which there are many). It would seem to follow that there are good Mexican restaurants... but that isn't the case! There are more Mexican joins in Overlake then down here. From this limited set of choices, we decided to try one out.

La Hacienda
811 S 3rd St

If I had to relate it to other local places, I would suggest a mix between Azteca and Jalisco. Not that there is anything wrong with that... plentiful chips, good meat, cheesy, huge margaritas, good stuff all! :)

Chips & Salsa
Average to good. Warm and a little soft... the salsa is good, and they have this chunky salsa, with a nice mix of herbs and spices. Zingy, and flavorful... lots of cilantro, onions, and perhaps basil. This was easily the best salsa I've had in ages. I'd highly recommend going for drinks, just to eat the salsa.

Crab burrito
Good, nice and crabby, with nice big pieces of crab, smothered in cheese, with a nice green sauce. Low-cal it is not, but good it is. If you're looking for a hint of crab, this isn't your dish. The cheese didn't overwhelm the crab, or vise versa.

Carnitas burrito
The carnitas wasn't crispy, but just good steak. The peppers and onion were good & plentiful. I prefer my carnitas on the crispy side, but still nothing to complain about.

Cadillac Margarita
(on the rocks with salt)
Good... nothing too special. Enough booze to give it a kick, and enough juice to make it drinkable (not that I mind pure booze, but not tequila)

There is a huge menu, so I'm looking forward to trying this place out again. It's a nice, fun place, nothing too healthy, nothing too greasy, just good solid Mexican food, American style. If you feel like Mexican, and don't want anything too risky or unique, and feel like a good atmosphere, check this place out.

Until next time...

Erick

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
