Disappointing that for decades this was a consistently amazing place and it has gone so far downhill. I remember some 13 years ago their servers were voted the best in Rochester. Now the servers ignore you and act put out. The food takes so long and you are never checked back on. It has obviously changed ownership. The salsa legit tastes like tomato sauce, where is the flavor? It used to be so good I would bring it 2 hrs away to my mother. It was our family gathering place but we have had too many bad experiences now. Just sad 😢

1st time visiting and wanted Mexican food. Specifically Asada Fries. The meal lacked salt and pepper very bland. It had no seasoning. Also the service was slow. Being there wasn't a big crowd of people, I thought it wouldn't take that long. There was a total of maybe 12-16 people there and it took about 30 minutes for my order. I decided to take it to go and went across the street for salt and pepper to eat in my car. I'm unsure about this place if I'll ever visit again. The server was ok. He seemed like he was in a rush though. I didn't understand why. But idk.

I love Fiesta! The owners and staff of this restaurant are so kind and friendly. They know how to host well and make sure you feel appreciated. The food never disappoints and I love that they're also willing to help spread the word about other businesses in town to help them grow! The outdoor seating option and patio is welcoming and the plants are pretty. The music is perfect and the atmosphere is pleasant. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Rochester! Thank you for continuing to serve the community well :D Even the kids menu does not disappoint.

I wasn't going to ask a Mexican restaurant to make some fries so I could try my normal food test. Instead, I had the free, freshly made chips and salsa they serve you. It delicious. They're both made fresh every day using authentic ingredients. Disregard the one-star review saying the salsa was horrible. That is just ignorant. This is how it is made in mexico! I received great friendly service the entire time. And I love the atmosphere. I had the Supreme burrito that was on special for $11.99. It was really good. I'm definitely coming back to try their specialty served on a hot lava rock! The server was nice enough to let le take a video of it, and a pic of the ceviche! They also had coronas on sale for $3.50. I highly recommend this place. I might become a regular.

Been going to Fiesta for 27 years. This was the first disappointing visit. The salsa tasted funny. I don't like the chips, the waiter was rude, and my margarita tastes like I was drinking straight tequila and water.

Food was good but waited about an hour for our food to come out. And we were the only customers. We got there around 8:30ish and food got served around 9:40-45 and they close at 10pm so we kinda had to hurry eating because it was close to closing time and they turned the lights off in parts of the restaurant.

Unfortunately, I share the sentiment of many of the other reviewers of late. Fiesta was one of our go-to spots, but our recent experience was likely the last for us. The freshness and flavors of the past, from the salsa to the burritos, were absent. Our food also took more than 20 minutes to get to our table.

The shrimp bowl was awesome ?. Great mix. My wife loved the taco salad. Along with a margarita and my amber beer it was great. The server was attentive and friendly. Wonderful experience.

VERY disappointed that this place which was our favorite for years, has gone so far downhill. First with the service and now the food. We had such a bad experience waiting 1 hr 20 mins for our food. Our server literally never came back to check on us. My chicken fajitas were burnt, dry, and flavorless. Salsa is not fresh anymore and has no heat whatsoever. They are not staffed appropriately and the servers that are there ignore the customers. Sadly, we will have to end our decades long patronage to this restaurant :(
