From the Hacienda to your Table: Discover the Secrets and Traditions of some of Our Most Emblematic Dishes:
Arrachera Carne Asada:
Origins: Arrachera is a popular cut of meat in Mexico, coming from the diaphragm of the beef. Its name comes from the Portuguese “arrachar”, which means “to scrape”, in reference to the way this cut is extracted.
At the haciendas Bar & Grill, carne asada is a dish prepared on a wood-fired grill and seasoned with salt and simple spices. Arrachera, for its intense flavor and tender texture, has become a favorite cut for our customers.

La Hacienda Fajitas:
Origins: Fajitas have their roots in Tex-Mex cuisine, where Mexican cowboys took advantage of less desirable cuts of meat and grilled them with peppers and onions. The name “fajita” comes from the Spanish word “faja”, meaning “belt”, in reference to the long, thin cuts of meat used.
Fajitas is a tradition of cooking grilled meat outdoors and sharing it in community is a common element in Mexican culture.
At Hacienda Barr & Grill: Highlight the variety of fajita options (beef, chicken, shrimp) and the freshness of the vegetables that accompany them.
