San Angel Inn or Hacienda de angel?

Which of these two restaurants are better? We are not super adventurous eaters but would like some mexican. How is the mexican dinner at San angel inn?

We like both places, I think the atmosphere is better in San Angel, but the food is better in LaHacienda. Both are worth going to though.

I am a fan of both - they are sun by the same company (notice the common element of their names?), and when La Hacienda opened a year or so ago, I noticed the Inn suddenly was much improved - perhaps not wanting to be shown up by their colleagues across the sidewalk.

The two represent food from different parts of the country. If I'm remembering properly, the Inn is more northern, and La Hacienda is more southern. This may be a subtlety that most guests won't notice, but maybe the thing to do is simply look at the menus and see if anything catches your fancy.

Ultimately, the thing that may make the biggest difference for you is simply that at the Inn, the tables are very close together and some folks find it uncomfortable. This is not an issue at La Hacienda.

La Hacienda is the better choice for us.

We've been very unimpressed with SAI. Poor service, tables very crowded and blah food that the nice atmosphere just can't compensate for.

The menus are fairly different - check them both out and see which is more to your liking.
