La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant

They sat us down quick at 7:59 pm after being seated and receiving our drinks promptly it all went downhill. Our waiter had to deal with another tables bill issue and after 40 minutes another server pointing out we were being ignored we finally got our appetizer! He never attempted to ask another server to help him. I asked Our waiter, where our food was and he responded 5 more minutes. At no time was he apologetic. He was unprofessional We paid for the drinks and got out of there quick … don’t know how they sty in business stay away! This was our first time there and absolutely our last time! I can’t say if he blamed the kitchen for his short coming of being a bad server or if it was the kitchen( but seeing other servers presenting food to there tables) I’m sure it was him!!! I hope he learns from having the kitchen wasting food due to his failed attempt at being a server!!! Good luck if anyone has him in the future!!

I normally don’t leave reviews, but my experience here yesterday really didn’t sit right with me.

My friend and I came in and sat at the bar. It was busy, but not overly busy. The bar area and booth area are completely separate, so it wasn’t like there was confusion about where we were sitting. When we sat down, we were not greeted at all even though there were multiple people working behind the bar. From my experience, when you sit at a bar, the bartender at least acknowledges you with a “Hi, I’ll be right with you.” We didn’t get that.

Someone dropped off chips and salsa, but still no greeting, no menus, nothing. We even moved seats toward the middle of the bar. An employee moved our chips and salsa to the new seats and still didn’t say a word to us. About five minutes later, someone finally acknowledged us and said they’d grab menus. After another wait, we got them. Then a different server came to take our order.

While we were waiting for our food, two new groups sat on either side of us. Both were greeted immediately. One couple was white, and another group appeared to know the staff because they were greeted very warmly. What stood out to us was that an employee from the other side of the restaurant actually walked over to the bar just to greet the white couple sitting next to us while we had been sitting there unacknowledged. They received menus immediately, unlike us.

Then came the wait for our food. It took at least an hour (possibly longer) for our meals to come out. I ordered a simple chicken and rice with cheese, and my friend ordered a shrimp rice bowl. Meanwhile, the people sitting next to us who ordered more items and more complex dishes got their food in about 30 minutes.

We had to flag someone down to ask what was going on. The response was that they were “really busy,” but the restaurant did not appear overwhelmed and that still doesn’t explain why surrounding tables received their food much faster than we did. There was no apology for the delay.

The food itself was okay, but the service was disappointing from start to finish. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. I won’t be returning.

Ground beef is the only option for combinations unless you want to pay 1.50 extra. And the combinations don’t come with beans and rice, which is really weird. I’ve never known that to be the case in any Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The server never checked on us unless we waved her down and the taco shells were literally premade Taco Bell shells. I guess I would come here for beer it was nice and cold.

If you're staying at the Holiday Inn's or any hotel nearby, do yourself a favor and drop by La Fiesta! We had great food, probably the best Mexican I've ever tried. Good beer options and reasonable price. We went for the Mexican Parrilla for a group of 3 and it was more than enough food. Heads up: we're not huge fans of spicy food so it was just enough, but asking for extra spice is recommended in case that's what you're looking for.

We were not impressed with the food quality. I had the beef and shrimp fajitas. It was tasteless. No flavor came out of beef.
My friend had the tacos and he said it was okay.
Table was warped and booth seats, dirty and in places, ripped.
Did not leave a good impression on us. We would not recommend this Mexican restaurant.

Typical Mexican restaurant. Hits: drinks, fajitas, friendliness of staff. Misses: chips were cool and stale, server had too many tables and couldn't check on people quickly enough.

Overall, if you are in the area and want Mexican, it will get the job done.

Drink wasn’t strong tasted like juice, service was slow, food honestly tasted like I could make it at home. I just went to a Mexican restaurant in West Midtown yesterday and the chips and salsa were hot and fresh, chicken wasn’t over cooked, beans didn’t taste like dishwater. Honestly disappointed because I love Mexican restaurants. And they sat me right by the restroom :/ maybe the restaurant I went to yesterday was so good I shouldn’t compare but honestly I wouldn’t come back here… location on Thornton road is much better.
