Seven of us from our Semi Monthly Dinner group ate at Hacienda Ajijic Steak Place tonight. The new owner, Pedro Arellano came over to introduce himself to each one of us. He told us the first drink was on the house, so order something expensive. Most of us ordered Margaritas in one form or another. They brought the tortilla chips and two salsas. One salsa was the typical one with tomatoes, onions and cilantro, very mild for American tastes. The other was a hot orange color, don't know what that was.

Thursday night is 99.50 peso meat special, except for rib eyes. Wednesday night is 99.50 pesos seafood special.

Most of us ordered the Filet Mignon done either rare or medium rare. It comes with Baked Potato and a few veggies. All the Filet Mignons were cooked exactly as ordered. They were large, juicy and very tender. I would say the size equals Bruno's Baseball Filet and is about double the size of Tango's filet, except Hacienda's Filet quality is far better. The Baked potato was cooked perfectly, nice and soft, an improvement over their previous baked potatos at Hacienda. You can get the Filet with either a Red Wine sauce or Mushroom sauce, tons of mushrooms.

One person ordered the Shrimp Diablo with a medium heat to it. It comes with rice and veggies, but he opted for a double order of rice. He said that was good too. Service was good and all meals were delivered at the same time.

Thanks for the review John. Our personal favourite is the shrimp on a bed of spinach with a side order of pasta.
Do you know what hours they are open now? We went for lunch the other day and a waiter watched my hubby struggle to get out of the car with his cane, organize the dog on a lead...and we were almost there when he informed us that they didn't open 'til 1...it was 12:15. That was a surprise since they used to be open at noon. Consistent hours would be a real bonus in any restaurant.
So, we struggled back to the car...and ate elsewhere.

That's a damn shame about the opening time and the fact that the waiter didn't come out to help. They are new waiters. The old waiters always helped the handicapped and sometimes carried people in. I don't know what time they open now.

I just tried looking under the "Quick Jump" menu under Restaurants, but it's giving an ERROR message.

It would appear that site has been closed down. Looks like I need to find another restaurant site to link to.

I said the specials on Wednesday and Thursday were at night, "correction", that is all day. Also, they have added a huge new wine rack which is about half full, but now contains approx 80 bottles of wine.

the "orange" colored salsa was probably HABANERO chile, habaneros have an orange color to them

Either that or tomatillo. If its habenero, that would certainly blow away the "mild for American tastes" concept.
