Friday I visited Mi Hacienda with some friends. My friend Z swore by his grave that this place was awesome. I told him I would not talk to him again if he deceived me, regardless of whether the reason for going to Mi Hacienda was a special ceremony for friend Y.
They served chips with a delicious white sauce and a classic red sauce. The waiter disappeared for a little while and did not refill the chips. However, after requesting more chips, the waiter was as prompt as ever in bringing in more as they ran out and refilling drinks and everything. So in conclusion the service was, after a little nudge, excellent.
I ordered the carnitas, which tend to be slow-roasted, braised marinated or spiced up pork chunks. They turned out pretty good. The plate was large and the food within was plenty. It came with refried beans (not watered down, for once!), rice (done properly!), guacamole, pico de gallo, salad, and three flour tortillas. Although I wish I'd had more tortillas I was content. It was a bang for the buck and also a feast.
Good luck eating all of it!
Price-wise you can pay around 10 dollars and get a lot of food (The carnitas ran around 10.25 after tax) or you can pay less for individual items or combos of individual items and eat a decent amount.
The group of 8 that was there that night left without complaints. They did not conglomerate the bills nor added gratuity, they graciously split the checks at the register.
I even got hit on by an alleged, quite attractive, lady of the night that evening.
Conclusion: Although it is not the best Mexican food I have tried in Richmond, I do believe that for the size of the place and its customer base they do a fairly good job in keeping up the quality. Isn't that what you want: Quality?
