    This was my third time and my mother’s first time dining at Hacienda San Angel. We both had a magical experience and for me, this restaurant has the highest combination of service, food and atmosphere. Arturo and the entire staff really know how to provide guests with an amazing dining experience! We will definitely return.

    This restaurant is wonderful. One of thee most memorable dinning experiences I’ve had. My fiancé and I were seated in the best table of the restaurant, right in front of the lovers bridge with a perfect view of the city and a most gorgeous sunset falling on the ocean. Our server Raul was informative and extremely attentive, he made us feel special with his service. It was such a treat to be eating in Elizabeth Taylor’s former home, the home was beautiful! The food was delicious and the music was extremely romantic. We also had a pleasant surprise of a mariachi band playing at the restaurant (one of the best mariachi’s I’ve heard). We are looking forward to having this experience again in the future. Gracias Raul!
