You finish shopping and there's Fiesta Charra if you're hungry. We got the following: - chicken taco salad: there was very little of the salad, rice, and beans, but heaps of shredded chicken - poblano chicken: this was a hit with the group. The chicken was cut in tiny strips, was well cooked and seasoned. Tasty! - chicken quesadilla: flavorful! Was meant for the kids but the adults enjoyed it too - chicken enchiladas: covered in a tasty sauce, very comforting. - shrimp Diablo: they were out of the tilapia, so we got the shrimp instead. This was the other hit of the night! The sauce was hot and delicious. - there were plenty of sides to go around, rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, though we could have done with more chips Overall, I'd recommend when you're craving Mexican American cuisine!

The service is what really sucked unfortunately, waiter was busy which I understand. But he took our orders, got mine wrong (asked for enchiladas and got the saddest looking quesadillas instead) then disappeared for 30 min and had to hunt him down to get water refills, more chips and salsa, and the bill. It was decent enough I'd go back and give them another shot, but was not overly impressed on the first trip.

Not me... the Fajitas were scrimpy & mostly Veggies. We go to ACAPULCO & always get really great food & their Fajitas are full of whatever meat you choose garnished with grilled veggies - not filled either them ... I do think that maybe the Pablo Management needs to visit them or eat there & view their Menu & taste their food. Old Town wasn't any better there at Pablo's as the food wasn't good & again runny unappetizing beans.

This is a bit off the beaten path for people visiting Lansing…read more The restaurant is small but staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is very authentic. We ordered the Chilaquiles Verde, Chile Rellenos, Cheese Quesadillas with side of guacamole, and American Tacos. For drinks we had the Limonada. The result: 1) Chilaquiles-we're awesome. The Verde sauce with the beans really made the dish. 2) Chile Rellenos - was very good. It was surprising that there were carrots in the stuffing with the meat. The combination was good. 3) Quesadilla- can't go wrong but the side of guacamole was fresh and very tasty. 4) American tacos - is at the top of my child's list of tacos from restaurants and my child is very picky. 5) Limonada - home made fresh lime juice blended with ice drink; very refreshing and one of the best I have had. Overall this is a place that I will come back to again!

I'm still here in Lansing for a conference and after a long day of meetings, my coworker and I were…read morehungry. The original spot we wanted to go to was packed and we didn't want to wait, so we came here instead. Walking in the place is cutely decorated and has two levels. since it was kind of loud downstairs, we sat upstairs instead. The menus kind of slim but they do have a bunch of different taco options to choose from. my coworker went with a plain taco and I went with two of the French dip tacos. The tacos were good but for some reason I think there was bacon on it but I was so tired I didn't feel like sending it back. Plus, it was dark and I honestly couldn't tell, but I'm certain there was bacon. They do charge a 3% fee if you run your card, which I did because after two tacos and a pop, my bill was $18?!?! My coworker paid cash and she still got the service fee? It wasn't huge but really, what's happening here? Anyway, this place isn't bad but I don't know that I'd return in the future for a variety of reasons but I can see why people do love it here as it's a fun place to watch sports on TV and hang out with friends!

I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed with my experience at this barrios location. The…read moreservice was great, but the ambiance and food were just ok. I got two "build your own" tacos. For meats, I picked the chorizo + black beans & the seasoned pulled chicken. I will say it was fun to build my own & pick all the toppings I wanted. The food quality was just ok. I was a bit disappointed by the flavor (was expecting more flavor and more tender meat). The toppings were ok, but didn't really blow me away either. The pineapple salsa was a bit overpowering & it all blended together a bit too much. I will say these were my choices - but I felt quality and taste could've been better. Not just from an "authentic street taco" perspective, but also for a "fusion" / new American taco joint perspective. I did try the "French dip" taco from the el jefe menu and it was great! The barbacoa was pretty good too. And the salsa + guac was really good. Ambiance was ok. It felt like it needed to be refreshed a bit inside & we were a bit cold by the door. Overall, I had an ok experience. Fun to build tacos from scratch, but was a bit disappointed by the food quality. Price was great though.
