Hacienda Vallarta: Authentic Mexican Buffet in San Antonio, TX

I almost didnt come after reading the negative reviews... boy am I happy I did try this restaurant out. Do not go by negative reviews, that was my lesson. Maybe they had an off day? Do not know. But Im very happy I decided to try it out. First time here and I absolutely enjoyed the food. I had the mole and rice. Some ribs and carnitas. I couldn't eat anymore but I'll come back to try the caldo de res and enchiladas. I had the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream, delish! All the food was tasty, warm and fresh. Staff was very attentive to the table and to the food on display. You need to try this place for yourself!

Fresh delicious Mexican and Chinese food. Everything I tried was better than just good. Homemade flour tortillas, perfectly cooked rice and mole. Shrimp cocktail and ceviche.

First time trying this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Everything, and I mean everything was fresh hot and delicious! Even the French fries! This has to be one of the biggest selections I've ever seen of food at a buffet. The Pozole was my personal favorite!! My husband loved the fresh tortillas and chicharonnes. There was so much we have to return to try it all. Service was excellent as well!!

I initially thought it was a restaurant I had been to previously..but wasnt.. but was pleasantly surprised....food selection awesome....great Valentine's Day lunch for the family!!!

Pretty Good! A little odd coming in since the hostess told us to sit and pay after. Then while sitting the waitress asked us for a receipt, after explaining we had to go back up front to pay and sit down again. Other than that it was pretty good. Typical buffet flavors and pricing. Make sure your table has a salt shaker because you may need it. The food overall was good, hot, and clean! Lots of options of Mexican and Chinese foods with a very large dessert bar. The staff were friendly and it was not busy at all during dinner time on a Wednesday.

The food was delicious a mixture of Mexican and Chinese cuisine and did I mention it’s an all you can eat buffet so take your time because there’s plenty to choose from on the menu.

Came to eat for Valentines day and it was our first time here. Wait time was not long and staff was quick, friendly and attentive. The selection was great although I wasn't able to try everything that was available. Great choices of food and able to have homemade tortillas was a plus. Definitely on our goto place and will highly recommend this establishment to any and everyone Thanks for the great service and prices were great.

We had a tough time with our server. We got one refill and she disappeared. Another gentleman i think the host kept checking in on us. And the table next to us.
