Hacienda on Henderson, new Dallas restaurant, opening end of July
DALLAS Hacienda on Henderson will open to the public on Friday, July 31. The restaurant/bar, located in a newly restored 1940s estate home at 2326 N. Henderson Avenue in Dallas, will feature an expansive outdoor space for patio dining. Hacienda will continue the late night dining tradition of the location's former occupant, Cuquita's.
Dallas restaurant and club veterans Patrick Tetrick, Chris Faulkner, and Miles Zuniga have teamed up to bring live music, tequilas infused in-house with exotic flavors and $5 frozen margaritas to the lush patio space. Executive Chef Mike Dimas' menu will feature a mix of traditional Tex-Mex favorites combined with authentic Mexican "family" recipes served up in a high-energy environment. [Wonder why they have "family" in "quotes"?] Visitors should be sure to sample margaritas made with Hacienda's exclusive house-infused jalapeno, habanero, pineapple, and strawberry tequilas.
Dimas has over 15 years of experience, most recently as executive chef/partner of Wynnwood Special Events. Dimas' strengths lie in transforming restaurants through exceptional food and drink. Coupled with the talents of Tetrick, Faulkner, and Zuniga, Hacienda on Henderson should prove to be a Henderson Ave. anchor and local hot spot for years to come.
Tetrick and Faulkner also own Lotus, a posh but relaxed McKinney lounge, and have been in the club business for many years. Zuniga also owns two neighborhood bars on Henderson — the Slip Inn and Vickery Park. “We are extremely excited to have secured this location, Henderson Avenue is really booming and Hacienda will be a great addition to the neighborhood,” said Tetrick.

Spare yourself --- and your hearing. The inside atmosphere is beyond horrible; like a cross between a seedy college hangout and a topless bar. The music was not just loud --- it was deafening. When I nicely asked the guy if he could turn it down a few decibels he said, "Are you kidding?! That last song wasn't even that loud. Their pack of valet guys are incompetent as well. It took forever to get our car (ears still ringing from being inside) and one woman chewed them out because she noticed they brought her car up even though she was still inside attempting to eat. It was a relief to leave.
