About

Backed by the Alba Restaurant Group behind Farmer's Table La Mesa, Hacienda Cazadores brings Sonoran-regional Mexican cooking to La Mesa Village at 8302 La Mesa Boulevard. The restaurant debuted in September 2025 inside the former Por Favor Restaurant & Cantina space — a La Mesa Boulevard address that hosted a single family's Mexican eatery for nearly five decades — and the hacienda-style rebuild positions it alongside elevated Village destinations like Riviera Supper Club and Turquoise Room. A dry-aging program anchors the steakhouse side, with a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye, Australian wagyu arrachera, and a 28-day-aged tomahawk among the premium cuts grilled over direct flame. Tableside molcajete salsas ground to order in volcanic stone accompany handmade corn and flour tortillas pressed throughout service, reinforcing the Sonoran focus on live-fire preparation and stone-tool technique. Weekend brunch from the Amanecer en Hacienda menu introduces Sonoran omelettes stuffed with shredded dried beef, jalapeño, and Sonoran cheese under poblano sauce, extending La Mesa Village's deep weekend-brunch corridor beyond the lighter fare at neighbors like Brew Coffee Spot. The Parrillada Sonora for two loads a single board with beef rib, Spanish chorizo, grilled chicken, arrachera, panela cheese, charred cactus, chiles toreados, and roasted onions, requiring coordinated timing across charcoal grill, plancha, and sauté stations to deliver all proteins at peak temperature simultaneously.
