La Hacienda Draper is a straightforward Mexican restaurant nestled just off Interstate 15 that caters well to those seeking familiar flavors without a lot of fuss. The interior strikes a balance between casual and lively—especially on evenings when local sports are on TV, creating an inviting backdrop for groups and families. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in after a workday, enjoy the buzz of a busy room, and feel connected to the local rhythm.

The menu sticks mostly to traditional Mexican dishes done with care rather than experimental twists. Staples like shredded beef enchiladas, chicken fajitas, and various tacos take center stage, making it a good spot for those who appreciate classic comfort food from this cuisine. Chips and salsa arrive quickly to the table, and the guacamole is fresh with a bright, not overly creamy texture. Some dishes, like the green chile tostada and chile verde enchiladas, stand out for their balanced seasoning and true-to-style flavors without the expectation of volume over nuance.

Service is noted to be attentive, which adds to the overall ease of dining here—whether for a casual solo meal, a family dinner, or a small group gathering. While the beans and rice take a backseat as simple side components, they complete the plates well enough, keeping the focus on the more flavorful proteins and sauces.

Visitors looking for a reliably traditional Mexican meal in Draper will find La Hacienda offers a comfortable spot with a solid lineup that leans into home-style recipes. The place picks up in the early evening, so timing a visit for the dinner rush means soaking up a bona fide neighborhood vibe. It’s also a handy stop for travelers moving along I-15 who want a straightforward, no-frills meal that doesn’t stray too far from the classic Mexican restaurant formula.

Food was good and good value. The restaurant was starting to pick up when I was there. In this region you have so many Mexican restaurants that have a special twist to their food. la Hacienda is more of your traditional Mexican joint with standard choices from the menu. They stick to the classics and do them well, my enchiladas were so good and the sauces were amazing. Only thing I can complain about is I asked for no beans and just rice, and they still put the beans on. They were prompt with refills and with my food. So great for a quick and easy lunch.

Decent food, great service! I had the combo meal, the tamale was pretty good, the rice was…rice, the beans were lacking flavor, I like when the beans like this are served in a small cup with the juices so you get more flavor. The green chile tostada was fantastic!!! Good flavor and heat in the salsa too.

Stopped here on vacation. My wife and I are from So Cal and wanted to try Utah style Mexican food. We were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the food and nice atmosphere. The food was very good and the service matched. This is a great place for a meal when traveling up Interstate 15.

Came here with family for a birthday dinner, definitely would go back! The atmosphere was great, a lot of people in and watching the game. Our server, Andre, was attentive and went out of his way to do something special for our birthday person! The chips had guacamole and salsa, the guacamole was really good and the salsa has great flavor, although it is watery. I got the fajita combination(chicken, steak and shrimp) with flour tortillas, and wow it was so good!

Service was amazing, food was incredible! The complimentary chips and salsa, the taco soup, and the chile verde enchiladas were all delicious! Zero complaints and would definitely come here again, and again.

It's always on our list when we come to visit family. My wife and I are from California, L.A. specifically, so there's no shortage of good Mexican food. My in-laws go often enough to have a favorite server that knows us well. Highly recommended!!!
