After a quick trip to Athens to check out The Square, a vintage/antique store, and a thrift store, we decided it was time for dinner. We searched for Mexican cuisine, our Sunday night ritual. We checked Google Maps and identified Fiesta Mexicana as the place to try. That turned out to be a wise choice.
It’s located at the end of a standard looking strip mall. It is smaller than the usual Mexican chain restaurant, but it fits the bill for Mexican food.
We went with traditional options, chicken fajitas and a mixed-meat burrito, to go with the obligatory chips and salsa. We also added a large queso dip.
The tortilla chips were good, and the salsa was even better. The queso was a pretty standard white melted cheese that we both enjoyed.
My wife’s chicken fajitas came out on the usual flat cast iron hot plate. You could see the spices on the chicken. My wife was impressed, which can be hard to do because she is somewhat of a fajita aficionado. I appropriated a piece of her chicken and agreed, the flavor was on point. She told me to try the beans. She said it tasted like they added bacon, but my palate could not distinguish the extra flavor. Either way, we both agreed there was a little something extra and it was good.
My burrito contained a mix of chicken, shrimp, and chorizo. The same spice attached to my wife’s fajitas had also penetrated my burrito and thank goodness it did. The spice was good on the chicken and the chorizo, but it made the shrimp standout. They packed the burrito with meat and laid green and red salsas, and the white cheese dip on top. A stupendous idea. It came with rice that seemed typical of most Mexican restaurants.
On the way out I inquired about the spice. I was afraid the cashier was going to tell me something simple like a taco spice from a pouch, but she said it was a special blend. Well done to whomever created it.
Overall, this was a great choice. If I lived nearer to Athens, this would be on a regular rotation of dinner night options.

This was our second visit because our first was great. We ordered the same fajitas we did the first time but they were not as seasoned as before. Also ordered guacamole and they never brought it out before our meal so we had them take it off our ticket. They were kinda busy, but not crazy.

The fries were to white and tasted weird they need seasoning but the chickens tenders where good they had that crunch and crisp the waiter was nice the atmosphere was good it was calm the while thing deserved 3 and a half stars.
