18/12/2025: The Flavors of Mexico - Evening with Friends.
On a rainy December evening, we went to dinner at La Hacienda, a Mexican restaurant in the center of Rho, less than five minutes from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows, in the company of a dear couple of friends, P. & L.
Parking isn't easy in the streets adjacent to the restaurant, but I recommend the municipal parking lot on the corner of Via Cadorna and Via Stelvio, a five-minute walk away.
This historic restaurant in Rho, established in 2001, recently changed management, although the new owners proved to be extremely helpful, kind, polite, and welcoming.
The interiors are reminiscent of Mexican Posadas, with furnishings, handicrafts from various regions of Mexico, Tex-Mex music, and, of course, the dishes on the menu.
We were two couples and ordered Fajitas Hacienda, with chicken and beef sirloin, and an Ensalada Mexicande/Texas Salad, a salad, tomato, carrots, tuna, and fontina cheese/salad, tomato, carrots, and chicken breast (somewhat reminiscent of our Caesar Salad).
Then we had a Parillada de Res, an excellent mixed grill with salad or fries, and tortillas with cheese and ground beef.
Sangria and beers to round out the evening, a pleasant evening with friends in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, at least during the week, with good Mexican food.
The price was reasonable, around €70 per couple.
13/12/2025: Saturday evening; we were served almost immediately, the food was excellent, and the location was clean and tidy. Excellent!
