Situated on the waterfront overlooking the World Showcase Lagoon, La Hacienda is a beautiful spot to wind down after a day of touring, margarita in hand and tacos on the table.
The warm and inviting dining room features near floor to ceiling windows offering great views of the nighttime spectacular if you can time your reservation right. Unfortunately for us, we ended up in the corner of the room nothing buy a tiny window well above eye level.
That said, we didn’t end up staying for fireworks, but the tastes ended up being good enough to offset the dismal “view” from our table. Unfortunately, I didn’t get many food pics, as most of it was dug into before I could snap a shot, but that’s just a testament to the tastiness. And, of course, it means we’ll need a return trip soon! You know, for research purposes.
*Update 06/2023* We went back…for research. 😉 Updates are below.
