GRAND HACIENDA – Restaurant

The pineapple fajita is the calling card — a halved pineapple packed with chorizo, shrimp, bacon and grilled onion, sizzling on arrival. Around it, this Gulf Boulevard kitchen turns out tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas and generous fajita platters, with a bar stocked for margaritas in every direction. Weekday happy hour runs four to six; weekends mean bottomless mimosas with brunch. Diners return for the sheer scale of the plates and a room that stays fun without trying too hard. Beach Mexican, done at full volume.
