Situated on the northwestern coastline of Mexico and stretching south of the US border is Baja California, a coastal region renowned for its winding coastlines and vibrant cuisine. Inspired by the spirit of this region, Hacienda brings Baja to Cape Town. There, guests can indulge on modern twists to authentic Mexican cuisine, with each meal beautifully paired with high-end tequilas and smoky mezcals.
Indulge on the flavours of Mexico at Hacienda
The team at Hacienda has worked tirelessly creating a menu showcasing authentic Mexican flavours paired with a few modern twists to suit the Cape Town scene. It’s a unique dining experience that begins the moment guests walk through the door with a selection of totopos. These masa dough tortillas are made fresh and by hand every day and served with one of the restaurant’s three mother sauces: apricot, white bean, and tomatillo.
With a menu that evolves with the seasons, their Winter special, for just R345 per person sharing and valid until September, features a six-course dining experience showcasing contemporary Mexican flavours. Dip a warm tortilla into the house-made mole, an intricate sauce made from over thirty ingredients and kept alive through daily feeding, expanding its flavours. Currently, the mole sauce is over three hundred days old! The Oaxaca Adobo rice warms both hearts and stomachs, while the chicken thighs for the Dicha de Barbacoa are grilled to perfection on a Mexican charcoal grill.
La Mesa de Mexico offers a Kingklip ceviche, while Comida de Fiesta serves each dish with two fresh tortillas. Wednesdays are for Taco Loco, where guests can enjoy flavourful tacos at great value all day, from the Cerdo Graso packed with braised pork to charred brisket in the Extremos Quemados. No one can forget about dessert. Enjoy the Tres Leches de Pistacho made with white chocolate, vanilla bean ganache, apple gel, praline, and strawberry sorbet. Combined with the complimentary candy floss, a dining experience at Hacienda is truly unforgettable.
Hacienda sources a carefully curated list of tequilas and mezcals from the Baja region. Paired with their meals these beverages effortlessly enhance the dining experience for any guest. The restaurant also hosts a tequila tasting flight for adventurous guests to experience the soul of Mexico. Every day from 4pm to 5:30 pm sit back and relax with the Happy Hour special and sip on half-priced margaritas.
Private dining and functions
The establishment offers three specially dedicated rooms to host seamless and unforgettable events such as year-end functions, memorable birthday parties, or PR activations. Groups of eight or more diners must select dishes from the set menu and provide at least a twenty-four-hour notice before the event.
