Good Mexican food. I have held off blogging on this restaurant for quite some time. Why? Because you know how it is when a fisherman has a special fishin' hole. Sometimes he does not share it even with his best buds.

Well, that is how it is with La Hacienda. It is located right across from White Water and right where you turn off from 76 to go to the red roof mall.

Sure, it looks like a dive from the outside. Its amenities on the inside are Spartan to say the least. But you know, that is how it is many times with the best Mexican food.

Do they have the best cheese enchiladas in the world. No, unfortunately not, and great cheese enchiladas are often the sine qua non of a great Mexican food place. So why do I love it?

I will tell you why. Great salsa. Their salsa is to die for. And then it gets better. This place may have the best guacamole in the whole world. Do I mean the whole world? Well I have eaten it all over the world. I have had it in Seville and Barcelona. I have had it in Laredo, and Mexico City. I am telling you that I think it is the best. They make it at the table in the lava pig. Pictures are above. And when Rosalita makes the guacamole the angels sing. Yum.

But that is not all. Margaritas so big that you can swim in them. They aren't chinchy with the alcohol. Frozen margaritas are the best with salt around the rim.

Have guacamole made at the table, drink your margarita and suddenly all is right with the world.

This place is great.

So now you know about the fishin' hole and waterin' hole. See you there.
