While visiting friends in Escondido, they recommended Hacienda de Vega for dinner. We arrived around 8 and were seated quickly in the large outdoor courtyard. It really is a cute, little restaurant. Dining outdoor, under the stars and there are plenty of outdoor heaters to keep you warm on cold evenings.
We started with margaritas all around. Portions were large and they were pretty good. Not strong, but tasty. The food took a while to come out. They let us know there was a snafu and our order got lost in the process and compensated us by comping our first round of drinks, which we appreciated.
Once our food arrived, it wasn't too exciting looking, but I didn't expect much to begin with. My enchiladas were a little bland and the tampiquena steak we ordered was slightly overcooked and also didn't have a lot of flavor. My friend found her veggie burrito to be extremely bland and even adding guacamole and salsa didn't salvage it for her. She said it was mostly just beans and rice and a few sad bits of tomato.
I would definitely recommend this place for a great place to sit with great friends and have drinks and maybe appetizers, but I can't recommend any of the food I tried.
