HACIENDA MEXICO – Restaurant

Exposed brick, a drop ceiling, and a spot on East Main in the older part of Bartow — the kind of Mexican restaurant a small town builds a routine around. Corn tortillas are made in house, chips and salsa land free on the table, and the menu runs through hard tacos, beef chimichangas, taco salad, tamales and the house Hacienda Burrito, with weekly specials for regulars who have worked through the rest. Diners come back for the prices and for a staff that will happily adjust a plate to taste. Cheap enough to be habit-forming.
