Chamber celebrates La Hacienda Del Patron’s new ownership
MORRIS – The City of Morris and the Grundy Chamber celebrated La Hacienda Del Patron’s new ownership and chamber membership earlier this month.
Now owned by Elizabeth Gomez, the Morris restaurant is family owned and open seven days a week at 1840 N. Division St.
“Under the new management, guests have noticed a significant positive change in overall service, quality, and atmosphere,” Gomez said in a news release. “More than just a place to dine, La Hacienda Del Patrón is a welcoming gathering space known for hosting family-friendly events and community celebrations, proudly serving as a local destination where great food, improved service, and meaningful connections come together.”
The menu is inspired by family recipes, she said, including classic Mexican favorites such as sizzling fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, chiles rellenos, pozole, fresh seafood dishes, and house-made salsas. All of which can be paired with signature margaritas, margarita flights, and specialty drinks including micheladas, palomas, and cantaritos.
The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
“We love creating experiences that go beyond dining. From Paint & Sip nights, karaoke, live DJ music, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, and kids’ parties, we take pride in helping our guests celebrate life’s special moments,” Gomez said. “With a spacious and welcoming atmosphere, we also offer the perfect setting for business meetings, group gatherings, and private events—making La Hacienda Del Patrón a place where everyone feels at home.”
The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new ownership Jan. 9. Chamber staff, Ambassadors, Mayor Chris Brown, city officials along with Gomez’s loved ones all celebrated the rejuvenated restaurant.
“Elizabeth and her team provide all the essentials to a great dining experience – delicious food, fun atmosphere, and a kind staff. They have worked hard to refresh the restaurant and have succeeded,” Chamber President & CEO Christina Van Yperen said.
