    I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown away. I was passing through and found this little place. Great spot for lunch. Price was good. Food was excellent. The ambience was nice. I like the brick walls and adding in the Mexican vibe to it. They serve chips and salsa before the meal and they were delicious. I could've just taken another bowl of chips and salsa and that could've been my lunch but I ordered number six. Got a burrito and chicken taco with some rice. It was delicious services really good waiter came and checked on me often super friendly. Next time I'm passing through I will be stopping in. I suggest you do the same.

    Great food, quick service. Delicious steak fajita salad( steak) but quite small portion. Guac and chips excellent. Friendly, quick, cool decor. Would recommend- visit.

    Taco salad with chicken
    Carlie A.

    Very cute, quick spot for lunch. Nicely decorated inside and extremely friendly staff. Chips and salsa before the meal were delicious (chips were even slightly warmed!) but the food itself was slightly bland. Have only been once though and would try them again if in the area in the future.

    Chicken Enchiladas, Refried beans, rice

    Enjoyed a wonderful meal of chicken enchiladas. The restaurant was busy, but the service was excellent. The wait staff understood gluten-free and informed me which sauces are safe for gluten allergies (celiac). Very reasonable prices for excellent food.

    We love coming here. The staff is friendly and the inside is so nicely decorated. The food always tastes fresh and things come out quickly. We always get the chimichangas so I can't speak to anything else, but they never disappoint.

    Mole Enchiladas-mole sauce was great

    Great food and quick service. The waiter was great. We needed a few minutes to look at the menu and it was worth it. Food was fresh and delicious.

    Had soft tacos, an adult beverage, flan and churros. We enjoyed the chips and salsa they brought out at the beginning of the meal. 3 tacos came with refried beans and rice. All tasty. The flan was really good and creamy.

    Gorgeous hand painted booths!

    Hands down my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in Upstate NY! I stumbled on El Bajio on my way home from being out west and I'm so glad I did! The booths have gorgeous carved and painted with Dia de Los Muertos scenes, the service was wonderful and fast! The food was absolutely incredible! I highly recommend chile relleno and tamales for starters. I can't not get a chimichanga when it's offered, and they're absolutely worth trying! They have a few beers to choose from and an extensive margarita list as well! I highly recommend checking out El Bajio if you haven't yet, it's definitely worth the drive to Seneca Falls if you're not in the immediate area!

    Awesome guacamole.
    Chris C.

    Best guacamole I've had in quite awhile. Good quick Mexican food lunch on the road. Would definitely come back in the future to try the more authentic tacos (just had a speedy gonzales) to hopefully bring that to a 5 star. Worth a visit.

    Tried the food here since they have gluten free options. The food was very good. The service was very friendly and the restaurant is decorated very beautifully. My rice was a little under cooked but that's my only complaint!

    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.

Service - 4/5 - great recs, friendly. Ambiance - 3/5 - nicer downstairs. Overall - 4/5 - the spot to go to for Mexican in Skaneateles. Have had better Mexican before but the food us tasty as hell and the portions will leave you stuffed. My girlfriend couldn't even order an entree after appetizers lol. A ton of tequila options. Definitely order the Birria Pizza, but beware of its size. Service was great, Devin was very sweet and gave great recommendations. We did not feel rushed at all. Inside is fine, nothing really crazy.

We were immediately seated for a late lunch on a Saturday. There was a large staircase to the second level so be aware of accessibility. Our service was off to a slow start but everything was too delicious. We shared the triple dipper (salsa, guac and queso) amongst 5 people, it was plenty to share and they offered to bring more chips. We all got tacos (steak, chicken and carnitas) the other 2 guests ordered chimichangas. Everyone thought their food was delicious. The chimichangas were humongous and could probably feed you for a week The restaurant itself was very clean. It had tons of natural lighting and very trendy decor. It photographs well and has a unique look for a Mexican restaurant
