600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The uniqueness of this dessert prompted a try.\u00a0 This was like eating popcorn flavored ice cream with\u00a0pieces or crunchy frozen corn in it and then sprinkled with stale popcorn.\u00a0 The texture was\u00a0offputting and\u00a0I wouldn&#8217;t recommend\u00a0ordering it.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I enjoyed La Hacienda very much and would not hesitate to eat here again.\u00a0The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was excellent and the service was friendly.\u00a0 If you are looking to linger over a drink before eating dinner, I would hold off on ordering your entr\u00e9e or inform your server.\u00a0 The food arrived literally 5 minutes after ordering which is nice if you&#8217;re in a rush to make your fast pass to Soarin but not so nice if you&#8217;re looking for a relaxing dinner after a busy day in the park.<\/p>\n<p>Many people try to book later reservations hoping to see Illuminations from their table.\u00a0 Keep in mind, not all tables are window seats and not all requests can be granted.\u00a0 I do find arriving early, asking politely and being prepared to wait always increases the chances of requests being granted.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy your next dinner at La Hacienda de San Angel.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"La Hacienda de San Angel Menu\"
