Most Disliked
One common complaint centers around the potential for slow service during peak hours. Even though staff members are often attentive, the large crowds can lead to longer wait times for food, especially on weekend evenings.
Parking can be a hassle, particularly during busy dinner times when the lot fills up quickly. While there is street and lot parking available, finding a convenient spot can add frustration to your dining experience.
Some diners have noted that while the order presentation is generally good, occasional mishaps can occur, such as issues with takeout packaging that may lead to spills. This could discourage some from opting for takeaway.

The service was so good and the food was delicious. You can tell it’s family owned. Will definitely visit again. I got the fajitas and rice and beans. The appetiser was very authentic which is very unique from similar restaurants I’ve tried in the area.

This is a very busy restaurant. The staff was very friendly. Parking was limited. I had Caldo De Res to go, and it was in a tub. They gave me my order of 2 of them in a paper bag. Well, it tore outside and was all over the floor, and they did give me another one. Reluctantly but gave me one. The food was very delicious! It had a lot of meat, no cabbage was in it at all. But it was very delicious and flavorful.

Huge portions! We totally couldn’t finish, thankful they had take home boxes. The service was excellent, even though it was super busy the staff was attentive and very professional. Their salsa was pleasantly spicy, and when you dipped the chips in the beans and then the salsa was super delicioso! Food was very good and the beer was cold, great stop after a long day of driving.

I would eat Pollo Culichi and drink raspberry margaritas until I exploded if they let me. The servers are always nice, but sometimes the service is a little slow. The food is very good and my wife loves their vegetarian options.

Hacienda Real has been my family's favorite Mexican restaurant in Lincoln since we first went ~5 years ago. Service is great, food is delicious, and the house margaritas hit the spot. Some of our favorite dishes include: tacos al carbon (!!), fajitas, molcajete de carne, pollo chipotle, enchiladas suizas... but any dish we have tried is delicious.
