    Food was pretty good, decent queso and salsa. Is a very typical Mexican style restaurant. Prices were very good, but the service was spotty.

    Food is very good. Especially the special 50 and the guacamole. My only complaint is the portion size for too high a price.

    Menu prices don't match what they charge you, $1-$2 off depending on what you order... staff are super friendly though

    La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant - Chimichanga Lunch

    I'm a Mexican food purist. Typically, a place that features burritos and brings you nachos with…read moremedium salsa up front is not pure. And La Fiesta made me think, maybe more of these places are actually good Mexican food, but they cater to the clientele. Because I read through the whole menu, through various feature dishes and specialties, and finally the chef's specials on the back page. And peppered throughout, I found hints of the real thing. I ended up getting #67 - four assorted tacos with different meats, I chose flour tortilla. They came out super authentic, delicious, loaded with meat. Wonderful variety of flavors. The side of guac I asked for was packed, great consistency, mostly avocado - because yes, I've had it runny and full of cucumbers or onions etc. This was real Mexican food, and I think it's a mindset "if someone wants to order our authentic specialties, that's great. If not, they'll get the American foods we know how to prepare." Not much else - service was friendly enough, place was rather sparse both in decor (at least no overdone Mexickitsch) and attendance but I get that it's Sunday night, and most other places were closed. I gather that's a Sunday thing in the South, and I'm grateful I found and chose La Fiesta over anything else that might have let me in.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Prices were incredible and the food was pretty good…read more They have renamed the restaurant to "El Mariachi". We discovered it on our drive up to Tuscaloosa. I ate a chimichanga with rice and a good helping of chips and queso. The service was good and I like the general feel of the restaurant with fun paintings on the wall that made for a nice ambiance.
