Great friendly service. I walked into a nice environment and was fully serviced with food and drinks in less than 10 minutes. The steak tacos were slammin and the rice and beans were pretty good as well. The only thing I would say is the horchata drink could have been a bit stronger with the liquor and ingredients. But everything else was pretty good, I didn’t eat my chicken taco because I was stuffed! But I took it to-go.

This is my favorite place to eat red snapper everything I've tasted is delicious. Service good. The only problem it smells like backed Up Sewage. My friends love this place bt they only like going in the summer to sit outdoors because the smell is so bad.

I wanted to really like this place but everything was bland. Pina colada wasn't sweet, fish tacos were bland, rice and refried beans were bland, fries were bland, flour tortillas were bland, green and red sauce were bland. If you're trying to watch your salt intake, this might be the place for you. The flavor was not present for me. I will not be returning. The service was great, though!

Always walked by here, but I finally stopped for a meal with my pup. Staff very kind and immediately brought water for my dog. Service was attentive and food was great. Nice outdoor space too. Will be back for sure.

Fast and friendly service. Nice and moist chicken tacos. Hubby had chorizo and steak tacos and had no complaints. We usually grab dinner here when seeing a concert in the area. You can count on a solid meal, at a fair price, served quickly.

The food and drinks are really good here, I really wish more people had supported them. I was saddened to see that they are closing, this is my go to lunch spot when I’m in uptown. They have the best Chicken Tortilla Soup, Enchiladas you name it. Well thank you for your years of service, I’ll miss you!!!

we stumbled into this fine establishment dazed and swaying, searching for, in DESPERATE NEED of, a good meal…and it was delivered. the al pastor burrito was bigger than my head! i am normally a very slow eater, but i devoured this faster than you could take a photo.

My bf and I were in uptown mad early because we were here for the TK concert. The concert was later in the afternoon and ya girl does not like driving in this Chicago traffic later in the day so our plan was to come early, grab a bite to eat closer to the doors opening and then we were good to go. Did I mention that parking is a pain so coming early also helped to alleviate the anxiety that comes with last minute parking as well?!? Haha! Anywho, my hungry bf, tummy and I saw that this restaurant was right near the venue (shout out to Riviera theater and I mean, who doesn't love tacos or enchiladas -- am I right?!?) so we decided to check it out. We were there around 3pm and it wasn't so busy at that time, I think actually there was only one other couple in at the time so it was not busy which was great. We were seated and tended to promptly. The customer service was great, they were kind and gave us all the time we needed to place our order. The interior decor was cute, it was very bright and festive which made me smile. For drinks, we started off with some horchata and agua de jamaica. My bf loved his horchata and I do have to admit, I stole from him...alot, it was very yummy. Not too grounded in cinnamon and it was sweet but not overwhelming so. Nice refresher for sure. I, on the other hand, enjoyed my agua de jamaica. I know the agua de jamaica is hibiscus tea but there was something off putting about it, it tasted almost very reminiscent of....prune juice. It had a weird after taste and while I did enjoy it, I probably wouldn't get it again and would instead get the horchata. We also ordered half a pitcher of their house margarita, i mean....we're going to a concert in the evening and considering it was only mid-day, it's gotta be be 5 o'clock somewhere, yeah?!? The margarita was absolutely delicious and more importantly-strong! It was definitely going to hold us over until we stepped foot into the Riv later on that evening. For the food, we ended up getting the queso fundido for an appetizer and I ended up ordering the taco dinner with corn tortillas which came with three tacos of my choosing (chorizo, chicken and al pastor) and then sides of rice and refried beans. My bf ended up ordering the taco dinner with flour tortillas which like mine had three tacos of his choosing (chicken, chorizo and carnitas) and then a side of rice and refried beans. When the queso fundido came, yooooo...that appetizer was lit! The chorizo, while salty, was offset with the baked, creaminess of the chihuahua cheese. It came with warm corn tortillas and as much as slathered that chorizo with the cheese onto the corn tortillas, it was *chef's kiss* beautiful! Absolutely delicious!! When my bf's meal came, he said while he enjoyed the tacos, the chorizo was too salty, the chicken was perfect as it was very tasty and tender and the carnitas was nicely seasoned, tender and succulent. He also enjoyed the refried beans and was indifferent about the rice. When my meal came, I, too thought the tacos were overall pretty good too. However, like my bf, I felt like the chorizo was way too salty, the chicken was well seasoned and came with a spicy bite which i appreciated and the al pastor was tender and juicy. The refried beans were really good though so that was the unexpected star of the show. The rice was...rice. Nothing bad nor nothing amazing to say about that. Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant. I enjoyed how close it was the venue, the drinks and the food were top notch and the staff was awesome for not making us feel rushed or uncomfortable which I appreciated. The price was decent enough for being in uptown, it was high but again, you're in the city, you know you're going to spend money but it wasn't enough to break the bank. I felt the price was definitely justified. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. The food and drinks kept me happy, energized and ready for one of the best nights I've had in a long time! (GO TK GO!) I would highly recommend coming here, if not for the food, then definitely come of the drinks but...i would suggest to come for both because this place was awesome!

This place was crowded. Staff were super friendly and moved quickly to seat and take orders. I got the mambo combo and it was good. Everything was flavorful. It seems like they did not have much space to maneuver inside as I had to keep moving around so servers could get by. Additionally, I thought that it was a bit pricey for some of the items and $2 for chips and salsa is a bit wild to me considering most other places give them out for free.

Yelp
Oh we love fiesta mexicana!! The staff is so friendly and there is a strong community orientation here. The marg pitchers are delicious. We love peach, but look forward to trying guava next!! Food is always delicious and hot when it arrives. Good family style Mexican restaurant food. I recommend checking it out!!!

Decent food. The guacamole was a very small portion for $13, but it was good. Mule was delicious. Service was fair. Had trouble getting the attention of our server a couple times, even though we were at the bar. Food was fast!

Let me start with this: Fiesta Mexicana has amazing chicken soup. Really. It's wonderful. If you are sick, if you need soup, order it from here. You'll thank me. The soup brings it up to 2 stars. As for the rest of the food... When I had been at Fiesta Mexicana before for dinner, I'd been at the Green Mill drinking. Dinner was very good after two strong martinis. Delightful even. This time, I came in stone cold sober. Not good. House margaritas: Avoid. My dining companion and I agreed: It tastes like household disinfectant. Just gross. A cocktail has to be pretty atrocious for me to leave most of it behind. This one was. 2 bucks for chips and salsa. No objections to that. Unless those chips are stale and the salsa is from a jar or made with canned tomato paste. That is not fresh salsa. And these are the chips you find on the floor of the back seat of your car. So yes, I do object to paying anything for this particular snack. Chicken burrito: Bland. Spanish rice: Bland. Refried beans: Yummy. Just kidding; that was bland too. Our server was pleasant, but not at all curious about why we didn't drink our margaritas. Maybe he knows what they taste like. This is Mexican food that is maybe good for children who don't like spice. Or flavor. And it's pretty good if you've been drinking. Or if you're sick and need soup. Otherwise, avoid.

Stopped here late night after a concert. It was a nice evening so we grabbed an outside table. Hubby and I shared steak tacos. So good. I'm usually skeptical about the quality of steak at some eateries but this steak was tender and so flavorful. We liked the food so much that we followed up our order with steak nachos. Incredibly fresh and delicious. Each single fresh chip was topped with a hearty helping of steak, cheese and other yumminess, along with a lettuce salad mixture. The food, salsas and sauce was so good. The waitress assigned to our table was sweet, attentive and made great recommendations. Definitely will keep this on our list of kitchens open late!

Cody S.

Yelp
Never been disappointed here! The food is amazing with huge portions and well priced! The service has never been bad, and it's got a good atmosphere. An outside area as well for dining. This place also stays open later on concert nights, so I will defiantly be stopping in after a show!

Small-ish restaurant but loaded with authentic delicious Mexican flavor Food: Sopa azteca de tortilla con pollo - 5/5 - excellent, rich flavor Enchiladas, Flautas, Tacos - 5/5 - select your choice of 3 delicious proteins including Al pastor, carnitas, carne asada/steak, chorizo, pollo, picadillo, etc. Taco salad - 4/5 - good but not outstanding; the shell isn't crunchy as I like it Guisado de Puerco burrito - 4/5 - very savory, spicy and flavorful pork burrito Chile relleno - 4/5 - cheese and sauce were excellent however the pepper wasn't fresh, too soft/soggy *Al pastor comes with pineapple however the meat itself is not street grilled style Margaritas - 4/5 - very good, multiple flavors available including strawberry, guava Ambience: Small-medium with traditional Mexican arts/culture... oddly some Peruvian pieces too(?)... ***ample outdoor seating though! Service: Very good. Friendly, attentive.

OMG!! This is hands down the BEST STEAK IN CHICAGO!!! My family and I usually order pick up from this place when we are celebrating a special occasion because of how amazing the food is. The steak is so tender and juicy and I often daydream about the next time I will have it :) today was our first time eating in the restaurant. The vibe of this place was very comfortable and cozy, the service was IMPECCABLE, and the food was nothing less than perfect! Don't get me started on their strawberry margaritas! I'm already planning the next time I will come back to this place! if I can give it 100 stars, I would! I recommend this to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food but definitely to anyone who enjoys a good skirt steak!!

It's disappointing to write a bad review but I have to be honest especially being Mexican. It's also sad that I live just around the corner too. I have been living in this area for 7 years and have come half dozen times to try and see if the food has gotten better. Sadly no. Basically it's really bad tasting food that is bland and not authentic. For the quality of the food it's overpriced too. I don't mind paying $2 for chips and salas too but the chips taste stale and the salas tastes like it came out of a jar. I want to guess and say probably the reason Fiesta has stayed in business all these years is being right next door to the Green Mill that only sells drinks and no food and the other concert arenas near by. So if you pass by in the evenings it's pretty much busy with non Mexican folks and more outsiders that come in for the Green Mill or to see a concert.

Recommended by my BF, i went to try this local Mexican fare. The experience was great! It's a clean and festive space with good music that seems like it would be a lot of fun on the weekend! Food was delicious. The guac was freshly made and came with a side of fresh salsa. My enchiladas were made of all white meat shredded chicken and left me feeling full, yet not over stuffed and full of sodium as one may feel when eating elsewhere. Margarita was tasty and nicely poured. Personally, I'm not a fan of fish tacos, yet i hear they are great :) I'd definitely go back again and bring some friends to convert them from their "favorites"

Tacos are tasteful, tipical Mexican atmosphere, it is open late after concerts, and our server Jorge was very pleasant and gave us a very good service.

Madeleine A.

Yelp
I have had cheaper tacos than this that were made just as good BUT the al pastor taco took me by surprise. I feel like some taco places simplify the sweetness of al pastor but this place was just a perfect combo of marinade, pineapple, & moist pork. The vibe of the restaurant was also very festive & open. Would go again to see about the margarita pitchers I saw at tables.

Matt B.

Yelp
The food was great. I highly recommend the chicken nachos as an appetizer. It's a small interior with limited seating so a reservation is advisable during peak times. Service was friendly and fast--I have no complaints and would come here again.

My husband and I love this place. It's a casual Mexican spot with good food, good drinks, margaritas and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I am not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars. It is a great spot!!

I was early to see a show at the Riveria so I stopped in here for a bite prior. I sat by myself at the counter in back...not the most comfortable but they had a coat rack available and there was plenty of table seating available. My food arrived really quick. I ordered the three taco meal. I thought it was ok. It wasn't bad but wasn't great. While eating I saw a few people coming in to check their bag from the show at the Riveria. So tip...if you are going to a show and they won't let you bring in your bag, this place will let you check it for a $5 fee. The service was pleasant and attentive. Overall, if you are in the area this place is great for a bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here.

This is going to be short and sweet. I hate giving out bad reviews, but also don't like sugar coating reviews because it is not fair to someone who make a decision to go to a restaurant based on my review. Two stars because it was next door to the Green Mill, our server was hustling and there was a friendly customer that I connected with that was fun. Think we confused his dinner guest and Dr M because he waved at me through the window like he owned me and when I went in I owned him by saying "Darling, it's been ages! WTF have you been?". Dr M wanted to know who he was...I dunno, but it was fun :-) I know the name of this place is Fiesta Mexicana, but it really should be Siesta Blandicana. Other than Taco Bell, I am trying to remember the last time I went to a "Mexican" restaurant and had what looked like Mexican food not taste like Mexican food. Yes there was food on my plate, but it did not taste like Mexican food. I got the Carnitas Enchiladas and was excited about that as you normally don't get that meat as an option. The dish came out cold...ended up not finishing it. Carnitas was on the dry side. I don't know, maybe they had an off night based on the reviews I have read, but for me I can't one thumb up them, let alone two thumbs up them. Not sure I will be trying them anytime soon, but will try to revisit at a later date to update this review.

Matthew T.

Yelp
Really tasty food! I got the chicken nachos as an appetizer and the chicken enchiladas as an entree. Both were delicious. The chicken was my favorite part of both of them-- so juicy and flavorful. I will say, the restaurant is very small and seating feels a bit cramped, which I didn't enjoy, but the food made up for it.

This restaurant is in the perfect location for post-concert drinks and tacos. It's a little dated looking inside, but very cutely decorated. I've been there twice and the service has been speedy both times. My water glass was never empty, and they came around a few times to check how our food was and if we needed anything else. The tacos are very good; I really like the Carnitas and Beef/Al Pastor tacos. Only some tacos come with lettuce/cheese/tomatoes, so you need to double check what your taco comes with. Most of them do not come with cilantro and onions, but you can just request that too (and you should! Yum!) The only downside for me here are be refried beans. They're usually my favorite part of dinners, but these tasted bland and almost the same as canned refried beans. Overall, I can't wait to go here again after my next concert and eat another 5 tacos.

Yelp
Place is BS. Order 4 margaritas $100. WTF. Been waiting 30 min, still no drinks, ask to sit at a table since it's been so long...No since we're not ordering food. Literally go Fuck yourself!

Sherre C.

Yelp
A great place to go after finishing a concert. The service was prompt and friendly. The chips and salsa were fresh and the spice on the spice of the salsa was good. I ordered an egg and chorizo burrito and thought it was delicious. My companion ordered some combination plate that looked great. Be warned, the portions sizes are large!

Mimi L.

Yelp
I'd honestly give this restaurant a 3.5 but I just really enjoyed the friendly vibe of the restaurant and the friendly service. I had the 3 taco plate where the beef tongue taco.....sounds a little weird because it's tongue but if you haven't tried beef tongue at this point in your life.....you need to and Fiesta Mexicana is a decent spot to try it. The beef tongue was made well - tender and not overcooked. I also tried the caldo de pollo (Mexican chicken soup) which was decent but lacked in seasoning (salt, herbs, spice, something, anything!!). I think the fact that I had chicken soup at 10 pm on a cold, Chicago night made it taste better than it normally would. The decor is a little colorful and little cheesy, but I think it offers a fun atmosphere. This is a sit down, casual spot and it's definitely a good Mexican restaurant for Uptown area standards. Food: 3/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5

I'd rate Fiesta Mexicana in-between Good and Great. It's solid, standard, well-prepared Mexican food, served in large portions. Nothing outrageous or adventurous, but if you want typical Americanized Mexican food, this is definitely a worthwhile option. All five people in my party enjoyed their food very much. Two had the Azteca combination; one had a vegetarian burrito; one had chicken enchiladas in mole sauce; and I had the vegetarian fajita. Each order came with a side of rice and beans. That's a whole lot of food! All the others cleaned their plates. I took my leftovers home and had two more dinners from the leftovers. We weren't a hard-drinking group. One person had a margarita and another had a Dos Equis beer. Service was quick and efficient. No problems at all. We had a reservation to eat at an outside table. I was first to arrive, first to be seated, and first to request a different table. Where I was seated originally was right next to the bus stop. A southbound 36 Broadway stopped, and I was directly in line to receive all the bus exhaust just about choking me. This is the table to avoid. The host graciously allowed us to take a table under the awning, and that was a much better place to sit. Definitely a good place for lots of standard Mexican food, prepared well. Be sure to bring a big appetite!

My friend and I came in here mainly for it's location next door to Green Mill, so that we could get something in our stomachs before commencing to drink and listen to jazz next door. Overall, the place is just really MEH. I was already pretty full from an earlier meal, so I just had a taco al pastor. It was just kinda unremarkable, Ive had much better in NYC. My friend seemed satisfied with his enchilada meal. He wanted me to let the readers know the mole' sauce was very good. I had read where the drinks here weren't all that great, so I just stuck with a Dos Equis. The service was quick, and I'll say everyone was really friendly, so I think they're trying hard here. I don't think this is a place I'd come back to. I really think I will do more "Yelpsearching" for Mexican on my next visit to Chicago.

Overpriced is the primary word that comes to mind. Meh is the second. Like, really? Eh, I'll pass. Maybe it's just what we ordered? But I'm doubtful. The guacamole is so not fresh. It's total crap. And teeny teeny teeny tiny. That was $8+?!?! The chips were good at least (flour, not corn). Albeit, they were on their last legs and nearly stale and inedible. The queso fundido was literally a hard slab of cheese surrounded by beef grease. Hard. Not melty. Not even hot. Literally, picture a slab of cheese topped with greasy ground beef and on a bed of beef grease. That is, very literally, what this "queso fundido" is. At least the tortillas were hot. $8+ for a slab of non-melted cheese and grease. Yuck. The tacos? Eh, don't bother. Bland, bland, bland. And greasy. Super greasy ground beef. And total meh on the tortillas. And standard crap lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. If there was any cheese, I couldn't see it or taste it. Horribly bland rice. Beans I literally couldn't stomach more than a taste of. And that was nearly $12?!?! Don't, just don't. The burrito was the exact same. Bland and, frankly, crap. And, again, nearly $12?! Ok, sure, maybe there's some wonderful menu items here that aren't these. But if the basics (aka tacos) are this bad, I think I'll forever skip any shrimp or steak or anything at all slightly more complicated. It's just slightly above edible, so I'll spare this place 1 star. But it is COMPLETELY not worth the cost. In fact, I still wouldn't care for it had the bill been less than $5. So no, just skip this.

Always a great spot for Mexican food!!! An old school joint but still very good:) busy, good food, I've had great service, and now they take reservations.

This authentic family restaurant is a gem; the prices & quality of food & beverage are a few good reasons to visit; however you'll return because the staff are genuinely sweet & knowledgeable. If you're headed north (or live in Uptown or near) treat yourself. Where else will you find staff that have worked at a restaurant for 40 yrs? It's here at Fiesta Mexicana! Bravo!

Amanda D.

Yelp
So good. Light fare, decent prices, good service, solid flavors. A typical Mexican restaurant with the standard options: fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, tostadas. The usual, but done so well! Decor is diner style with plastic covers on the tables. Doesn't bode very well in Chicago summer humidity, but I get it for easy clean up. Tables were also pretty close together, again, not a deal breaker. There is a full bar, decent cocktail list. Also seemed to be a lot of pick up orders, which to me means that this place is loved by the neighborhood. Definitely someplace I would visit again - right off the Lawrence stop on the redline.

Great pastor tacos! You can taste he pineapple. The skirt steak was very tender. I will definitely be back.

You probably would want to pass on this place. A large group and I came after 11pm one night after seeing a show at the Uptown Underground down the street. This place is open pretty late (2 or 3 am I think), so it was an appealing place for those of us looking for some snacks and drinks. First thing I have to tell you is that you should NEVER try the margarita's here. I had the basic lime one and it tasted like I was drinking lime flavored kitchen cleaner. I am well aware that many restaurants use pre made mixes for the base of their margarita's, but they really need to switch brands here. Even the Jose Cuervo margarita mixes I used to drink in college tasted better then whatever is used in the margarita's at this restaurant. I asked the waiter to take it off of my bill, and I was thankful that he did. The margarita was totally undrinkable, and it was literally the worst margarita I've ever had. Many of the people at my table had tacos, and most people said that the meat was bland. The person next to me said that the tortilla was slightly chewy. I had one of their tamales, and it wasn't bad, but also not memorable either. The prices for most items on the menu were priced a little high for the quality of the ingredients.

Solid Mexican food. Located near the legendary Green Mill Lounge- it's been a favorite for jazz musicians for quite some time. The pitcher of margaritas was just the right strength. Homemade chips and salsa were on point- we added the queso fundido. Everyone enjoyed their food- from the fish tacos to fajitas to the whole snapper. Everything was delicious!

Alexandra H.

Yelp
Great place! I felt like I was in Mexico. The decor was simple, but colorful. The fall decorations added a touch of extra color. The music was upbeat. I had the three steak tacos dinner and mexican coke, which was pretty good. The portion of the dish was good sized with lots of steak pilled on the tacos. Good prices too. The waitstaff was nice and I really liked their Day of the Dead Fiesta shirts. I am definitely coming back soon!:)

Jerry D.

Yelp
Was great! I ordered using their own app so they wouldn't lose money to a third party app. It was delivered in half an hour. I got chips and salsa, an al pastor burrito and one of their margarita lots. All delicious! And I'll definitely order the margarita kit again. Was a better deal than individual margaritas. I'll order from them again!

Anna C.

Yelp
Honestly, the food was okay(although overpriced in my opinion). The service was okay, although not overly helpful to first timers. What got me, was when I went to the bathroom walking back to the table seeing a pot of cooked chicken on the floor. After seeing that, it turned the food I did have in my stomach and I just wanted to quickly leave.

Place keeps getting better and better, my last order was perfect. And the packaging with the whole seal thing fantastic.. you guys are awesome

I just found out yesterday that the other location on Lincoln near Fullerton had closed so I decided to stop by here for old times sake. I wish I would have stayed away. This place has the same decor it had 2 decades ago. It is very dated and not contemporary at all. It's like they gave up; do the minimum to get by. Me & guest sat ourselves down, no greeter. An older worker gave us menus. The server stopped by to give chips & salsa then came back 3 minutes later to take food order. He seemed ok. The place had a handful of people present. The drinks came out first; I ordered an horchata which was bland, tasteless, chalk-like. The food arrived 10 minutes later. My quesadillas were small, not that I needed a Hungry Jack size but I pay less for more near my home plus more tasty. Being a Mexican restaurant I expected some umph in the flavor. The rice & refried beans were average. Just not feeling them at all. Sorry guys maybe u should have closed this location instead.

Frank T.

Yelp
This is a wonderful local place. The carnitas taco salad must have over a half pound of meat. It blew me away. The half pitcher of sangria is the way to do it. They gave us a complimentary kailua and cream at the end. Wow who does that anymore?

Yelp
BAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFF! Ok, so legit, the food was not that bad. I went here on a first date. It was kinda "hole in the wall-esk" which is fine by me. Its always the hole in the wall places that have the best Mexican. I would say its more of a place you go when your married, not where you go when you are trying to impress someone. So I chowed down on my shrimp quesadillas, my date at his empanadas, and we both enjoyed the warm chips. Honestly, I wasn't mad at it. I thought the guy that brought me here was hot, and the food was decent! Now for the good stuff, and no, I am not going to tell you about what we did after the date. LOL! I am going to tell you about what happened immediately after I took the last bite of my quesadilla. I peered over to the table across from us that was next to the cashier. I witnessed a GIANT cockroach, flutter to the floor, and the patron at that table stomped on it! I could hear the crunch and the vomit start to rise up my esophagus. Legit, I envisioned that scene in Men In Black, where the alien turns into a giant cockroach. I am certain that the back area by the restrooms has to be CRAWLING with them! SO SO SCARY! Honestly, I rated low because of the cockroach. If I were rating solely on food I would say 4. #CockroachesKillStars

Beware delivery service here. We ordered last night. Driver arrived to our apartment building. We missed his call, but called back right away within a minute. Driver already left with the pre-paid and pre-tipped food. We called restaurant who sent him back. Second time, front desk calls again. While we are on the phone and waiting for elevator, driver departs with food again. He returns a third time, now with attitude and he's the one who's inconvenienced. Of course the order is wrong too. Burrito instead of chimichanga. Oh well, I'm hungry, it's delicious regardless. We enjoyed Mexican egg rolls and fish tacos too. Keep an eye on the delivery service if you dare order out.

Save your money! This place is near my house and I only visit once a year; and every time I come, I remember why I only visit once a year. Below average, overpriced Mexican food and water-down cocktails. Last night I ordered nachos and a cocktail - that's it. Received, literally, 8 nachos. Normal size chips. They didn't taste great and very little meat, mostly beans. $30 for 8 and watery cocktail. Server was pleasant.

I had regular steak tacos and it just doesn't really taste that good to me. The Horchata was good but that's about it

Three grilled steak burritos for three hungry people. Fresh, well prepared and stuffed with meat and beans. Solid. It held up while I ate it, instead of collapsing into a mushy puddle. Flavors were good, I can not complain about anything! Good food, good value. This was for delivery on Uber eats. The sauce I requested (both hot and mild) arrived in generous quantities.

I ordered from Fiesta Mexicana today through Fooda. This is the mess that arrived. Yes, that baby-poop colored goop is supposed to be guacamole. It's disgusting and I cannot eat it. I can't believe any person would put that on these flautas and say "yeah, that looks good." The consistency isn't even like guac. I also ordered tortilla soup and it's exclusively broth with a few little pieces of chicken. Qdoba is higher quality than this. I'll have to buy another lunch now. Thanks.

Ricardo that bartends on Tuesday nights was the absolute worst. I wish i had for thumbs to give him four thumbs down. Ricardo had the worst attitude I've seen in a very long time . Ive worked in restaurants since i was 16 aNd I'm now 33. and i always give service industry the benefit of the doubt. But Ricardo can suck it. But Vince !! Vince my server! Amazing! Bring your own drinks and order from Vince. What's the saying? The rotten fruit spoils the bunch.. wish Vince had better back up.

I've been going to Fiesta Mexicana off and on for over a decade. Their chicken nachos have always been my favorite all the time anytime. Their margaritas are pretty good and they have reposado tequila. Lately though they nachos are smaller, the toppings not distributed like they were even just a year ago. I hope they go back to actually putting enough sour cream and guac to actually have some on every chip. They're still good but not as good as they used to be.

I expected this place to be a little cheaper and a little less fancy because it definitely has that hole in the wall vibe. Came in here for nachos, and what we got were literally 8 chips individually sprinkled with cheese. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, but not quite what you expect when ordering nachos. They serve alcohol here like beer and wine, but it's kind of expensive as well. I will probably return just because it's so close to my house but would not recommend it if you're looking for simple, less pricey Mexican food.

Hughes fan of all their tacos, fast service, and margaritas. Usually busy, but I've never had to wait for a table. I would recommend some of the other food, but every time I go I end up getting tacos because I like them so much. Always prompt to refill empty chips and salsa. Also conveniently located next to several bars, theaters, and L stops.
