Rooted in Delaware, One Plate at a Time
La Hacienda started with one kitchen in historic downtown Milford and a simple idea: bring honest Mexican cooking to Delaware. Three locations later, the idea hasn't changed.
La Hacienda Milford Restaurant | Our Story
The First Kitchen on Walnut Street
La Hacienda opened on South Walnut Street in historic downtown Milford, steps from the Mispillion Riverwalk. A small-town restaurant with a simple goal: fresh, flavorful Mexican food and a warm welcome.
How We Cook
Traditional Mexican recipes built with fresh ingredients — lighter preparations that let real flavors come through. Guests who grew up eating Mexican food in Texas have come through and left impressed.
Three Locations, Same Heart
From Milford, La Hacienda grew to West Dover on Forrest Avenue, then to Bay Road near Dover Air Force Base. Each location has its own personality — same menu, same warm hospitality throughout.
The Regulars Made It Real
Over the years, La Hacienda has become the place people claim as their own — military families, theater-goers, holiday gatherings. The Greater Milford Chamber of Commerce even came out for a ribbon-cutting.
