For over two decades, our family has been serving Colorado with authentic Mexican flavors. Now, we're thrilled to bring our passion to Lasalle.
Welcome to Hacienda Azul, a dream built on tradition, hard work, and the love of family. We are Erika Santa and Macario Rojas, and our journey in Colorado's restaurant industry began in 1996.
For more than 25 years, we have poured our hearts into understanding this business, learning the rhythms of the kitchen, and most importantly, learning what our community loves.
We have worked tirelessly in Mexican restaurants across the state, always holding onto one shared dream: to one day open a place of our own—a place where we could share the authentic recipes and warm hospitality that define our heritage.
That dream first became a reality when we opened our beloved restaurant and Mexican groceries in the beautiful town of Estes Park. Raising our family alongside our business, we put our hearts into every dish, creating a home away from home for both locals and visitors.
It was there that we built our foundation on family, flavor, and a genuine commitment to our customers.
Now, we are filled with excitement and gratitude as we embark on our newest adventure: bringing Hacienda Azul Mexican Grill and Cantina to the wonderful community of Lasalle.
This new chapter is more than just a new location; it's an invitation. An invitation for you to experience the culmination of our life's work. Here, you will find the same dedication to fresh, authentic cuisine, the same welcoming cantina atmosphere, and the same family values that have guided us from the very beginning.
We have put our entire effort into this new project, and we invite you to be a part of it. From our family to yours, ¡bienvenidos!
