Nestled in the quiet foothills of Old Escondido with beautiful old-growth trees surrounding the property, an old Spanish ranch home was renovated into a delightful eatery by Patricia Vega and her family. The indoor dining area, filled with imported Mexican furniture of stately, distressed pine chairs and tables, is comfortable and cozy. The restaurant showpiece, however, is the patio. Ironwork and leather-backed loungers dress the vast patio space, which looks onto a small pond with a waterfall. Lined with perennials, the patio is the preferred dining area for starry summer nights when the fire pit is lit. Live Latin music is brought in from time to time to serenade outdoor diners.
The Vega's intent is to bring to San Diegans an experience of the true, non-Americanized Mexico, and thus the menu contains items that can surprise. Sabana Invierno ("winter quilt") is a soul-warming hearty plate of beef tenderloin, with beans accented with manchego cheese and tomatillo salsa. Rich pollo con mole and tequila shrimp deserve praise. Sunday carries the upscale Mexican fare into the breakfast arena with a wonderful brunch, an all-too-rare feature in the northeastern part of the county. Specialty margaritas are a must in this atmosphere, especially The Hacienda, featuring real tamarind juice. For a more daring palate, the bar can whip up a jalapeno margarita.

Misspinkydragon - 05/24/2009Best Margaritas and Food. Our dining experience was awesome. The servers were very friendly and willing to answer all of our questions. The food was delicious and the brilliantly served. We loved this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of fine Mexican Cuisine, plus, their margaritas are to die for! Every time we visit San Diego we MUST eat at Hacienda de Vega.
Amazing on all accounts!
Dracognan - 05/01/2009Food is great if not what we usually find in other mexican places, there are no carne asada tacos! But I asked the server and he told me that they are mostly Mexico city fare and not Tex-Mex. The mole is the best I've tried anywhere and the margaritas are HUGE!. Great atmosphere and great service!
the worst of the worst
Mufflerdog - 07/10/2008Found better service at taco bell and the manager was are server. Food is not worth talking about.
A beautiful setting but the service needs upgrading
Ririj - 06/19/2008Hacienda is a lovely place but our waiter was very unfriendly looked like he hated his job the bus boy was very attentive. The food was good but I ordered a large guacamole and was given about a quarter of a cup of guac. Over all it was a different place to visit with good food. Hope they work on the service for this place has great potential for a fun evening.
