Large connecting tissue or fat that the beef was attached to that was IN the taco.
Brandy L.

Typically enjoy our meals from Charr and I haven't been since Covid closed the area until yesterday but from March to now something has happened because the quality of food and portions have exponentially dropped. I got a burrito bowl with sparse amounts of everything but what was really the nail in the coffin was the beef tacos. Not only was there a HUGE piece of fat included in a taco with beef attached which was quite disgusting to look at and horrifying had it been bitten into but to top it off the grease from the beef created a large bowl at the bottom of the container and soaked all the tortillas. Needless to say it wasn't a pleasant dining experience and highly disappointing. I don't see us returning, definitely not any time soon but maybe never again smh. Such a shame after going for so many years.

Chicken bowl

I have gone here twice over the last 2 weeks. I think it is really good food. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and good sized portions. Will go again soon. Think Chipotle but local!

My daughter attends the local college and this is one of her favorite places and I can see why. We visited this establishment during the recent parents weekend at her request. The restaurant is basically a local version of the Chipotle national chain. It is good basic food at a reasonable price...... perfect for college kids. I was not blown away but I did enjoy my tacos and would definitely come back.

Food is fresh and really tasty. You can get a burrito bowl or just a taco or burrito, etc. quick ordering and bathroom is clean. You can eat inside or outside. Outside is really hot on a summer day, I would suggest some umbrellas out there. But you won't be disappointed in me he food.

Pork bowl

This spot is chic in its decor and the staff are superb. Super nice and friendly. Quick and easy ordering available as well as door dash delivery. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I felt the food was good for sure just not flavorful enough for me. Great place though:)

Chicken rice bowl with loads of yummies

Grabbed a rice bowl with chicken and several toppings. It was quite delicious. My company also enjoyed their meals. We went on a Thursday and they had people lined up to the door as apparently many others realize this tasty place!! I recommend this establishment and will return.

Pork burrito bowl - so fresh and tasty!
Jen N.

I was working in the area and decided to check this place out for lunch. From what I read, this location just opened, but the business has been around for longer. The inside is super modern and charming - that whole rustic chic vibe! During my visit, everything tasted super fresh, and there were more topping options than Chipotle - such a plus!!!! I got a pork burrito bowl with pinto beans, lettuce, salsa verde, jalapenos, red cabbage, cilantro, and sour cream. It was definitely delicious and very fresh! Both my coworkers had chicken bowls and loved them, as well! I wish places like this would stock horchata - only a few do. So that's a recommendation for the future! Otherwise, this place is worth a stop!!!

Underwhelming and overpriced knock-off Moe's. $30 for two burritos and a bottle of water.

I live right on top of a 'Mexican' restaurant and every time I go there it's due to sheer…read moredesperation for lack of good Mexican food in CNY. Every time I lament the fact I spent money to eat there... I had read that this was a good one on the 'Where Syracuse Eats' Facebook page, which can be a pit of snakes at times. I decided to bookmark it, as a 'just in case' I was ever passing through Waterloo. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my mom and I walked in around 5:30-5:45 p.m. and not a soul was in the place. Apparently, people in Waterloo eat dinner around 6 p.m. so the place was popping as we were eating and then leaving. My mom is a vegetarian so we shared the vegetarian combo D plate. I ate the tostaguac and she had the enchilada, and we shared the rice. I normally find the rice at Mexican restaurants to be underwhelming, even at my favorite spot in Detroit. This was delicious and I ate it! (There may have been some debate on who should get the last few bites of rice!) I also ordered a side of their hot salsa. I think this was $2 but it was so good and so worth it. The regular salsa was fine but not spicy at all. Service was fast once we decided what to order. No pictures because I was too excited by an actual Mexican place within a reasonable distance from me! Skip the places in Syracuse and come to La Fiesta Brava!

Worst experience I've ever had. Seated given store bought chips and salsa and forgot about. No one…read morecame back to ask for a drink order or anything. We waited for over 20 minutes before we left. To their defense, they were totally overwhelmed. should've been their biggest moneymaker of the year Cinco de Mayo and they failed miserably. I'll never go back there. Was never really impressed with their food anyways this is no shape or form of authentic Mexican food. The ambience has much to be desired as well. It was a filthy dump.
