Hacienda Las Mariposas - N. McAllen

Food APPEARED to be a bit overpriced until I tasted it. Then I realized it was fairly priced. The quality was very good. With food prices soaring, it seems they chose not to cut quality and thus had to charge more. This food is well worth paying a little extra for.

Awesome place. You can dine indoors or outdoors on the patio. Love the atmosphere, staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is amazing. The fajitas were tender and delicious. Alex attended the group I was with very well, we were all pleased.

The scenery outside is very beautiful. Extremely hot during the summer days but they keep up with the maintenance. The resturant is normally not busy during the week but they fail to always have the items on the menu. Three out of the five times I have recently gone and they didn't have the shrimp app, cabrito, and an item I cannot remember. Management should emphasize a weekend menu and week day menu. I took my grandmother for cabrito because the server would constantly recommend it. So I went around 2 PM during a Thursday and no cabrito. Loved the experience but will not dine in again. The food is okay. Nothing fancy here are some photos .

My wife and I recently dined at Hacienda Las Mariposas, and our first impression was good. The venue itself has an elegant vibe to it, reminiscent of an old fashioned, swanky Spanish homestead a place one does not go to parade their disdain for proper etiquette by wearing torn jeans or failing to remove their hat indoors. Suffice it to say, we had equally high expectations of the food and service.They did not disappoint.We ordered the mixed botana for two, and it was easily one of the best we have had in the RGV. The presentation was excellent, the fajita was tender and juicy, and the trimmings were packed with flavor. Our side dish of choriqueso was tasty as well, and the complimentary cheesecake (we were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary was the best we had in years. The whole table was a feast for the eyes, to say nothing of the palate, and the portions were such that we had plenty of leftovers at the end. Our waiter, I should note, was very attentive from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, offering us something like the royal treatment as my wife put it and in so doing earned our manifest appreciation (read generous tip. Granted, it was not the busiest time of day, but for that reason alone the best time for dining there.All in all, we enjoyed the restaurant. We found it to be a perfect choice for the occasion, and I can see it becoming one of our favorite haunts. We might even dine on the patio next time, the views from which are nice enough to fill the pages of a scenic wall calendar. Give the place a try. We highly recommend it.

Very consistent service and food, can get a bit pricey but the quality is absolutely top notch. Drinks are solid too, overall 10/10
