A nice option for hotel guests, but there are better Mexican hot spots in Scottsdale with more refined food preparation. Still, La Hacienda gives you several reasons to venture here even if you're not staying at the Fairmont.
The table side guacamole is a highlight and the portion is really handsome, great for table sharing. They do fajitas really well and while my fish entree (Pacific Halibut) had a nice flavor profile, it was a little uninspired and was cooked just a hair too much.
What was unique and lots of fun was chatting with their "tequillier" (a new age term I learned denoting a "tequila expert"). They have an expansive selection so if the agave spirit is your thing, you'll really like it here.
Dessert was super yummy. We munched on their cinnamon dusted churros with Mexican chocolate and devoured their salted caramel and banana ice creams.
Season appropriate, I recommend asking for an outside table with heat lamps and fire pits. A lovely way to dine outside and keep toasty at the same time.
