The service was inattentive and unwelcoming, making the whole experience feel more like a chore than a night out. The atmosphere, which should have been lively given the name, instead felt dull and neglected. Overall, Viva La Fiesta completely missed the mark -- I wouldn't recommend it when there are far better options like Friendship House just around the corner. I tried again and ordered takeout and the picture below is what they gave me.

I ordered the Street Tacos (not what they were called here but what I normally call them) absolutely perfect! The steak was moist & delicious, the salsa, lime, cilantro & onions all perfect together. I ate 2 & have one for lunch tomorrow. Hubby had the chicken enchiladas with beans. He was asked if he wanted salsa & he replied no, along with no cheese (allergies) his plate came out plain (as photo shows) instead of correcting this he mixed his beans over the top & enjoyed. (He wasn't disappointed) Our friend had the steak fajitas & they were delicious, hot, spicy & just delicious. Yes, I had a bite, but he tried mine too & decided that's what he's getting next time! My peach margarita was peachy deliciousness what a perfect blend of peach & tequila. Our server was perfectly knowledgeable & courteous, checking on us frequently. We got there just as dinner was starting (between 530-600) the restaurant started filling up but the atmosphere wasn't crowded or loud perfect for table side conversations. Priced right at under $55 for 3 people. What a wonderful little gem in small town America. Definitely a must on your Kansas journey.

I'm a big fajitas fan and often order a variation of that at any Mexican restaurant we visit, and the Alambre fajitas might have just become my favorite I've EVER had. They were delicious! We also enjoyed the Pollo Hawaiano and a side of Elotes Street Corn. Mi Tierra had a hole-in-the-wall vibe that I loved with great service and even better food. If you're looking for your fix for some delicious Mexican food, look no further than Mi Tierra.

I should have known: The have a giant sign on the outside of the restaurant that says "GOOD FOOD." The sign ain't lying -- it's not great, but it is definitely good. The menu is like 12 pages long. I don't particularly like big menus, so it took me quite a while to decide what I wanted to order for lunch. I landed on the enchilada and taco plate, which came with a side of rice, and I also tacked on a side of refried beans. The side of beans is huge! You can definitely share it. The enchilada and taco were just OK, but the beans were great. I loved eating the beans with the complimentary tortilla chips at the table, which were lightly salted and warm. What I should have ordered, which someone at my table ordered, were the birria tacos. Now those looked delicious. They come with a little bowl of consome, plus rice and beans. Along with their 12-page Mexican menu, they also have an American menu. I was intrigued by the "Hamburger Burrito" -- I should have ordered it because I keep wondering exactly what that might be. Is it a burrito with a hamburger and toppings in it, or is it a hamburger with burrito filling in it? I guess I'll never know.

I will say that the hours are very confusing and you'll find different information on if they are open Saturdays depending on where you look. When we were there I noticed a sign on the door that said they are open every other Saturday - so you might have to call if you don't want to chance it on the weekend. Now onto the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was that it's in a historic old building downtown, and I loved the charm of the place. The owners have clearly put some work into giving it it's own flair and it's honestly a fun ambiance to dine in. The servers were all super friendly as well, and the food was pretty good. I'd give the food a B+ for tex mex but in a small town I think it's probably closer to an A-. My only real complaint about this place was that the highchair didn't have really any belts or anything to buckle our baby into so I spent most of our meal making sure she wasn't falling, or just holding her which isn't ideal for enjoying a meal. Overall, though, this place is a nice local spot that I'd return to if in the area. It's family friendly with good service and decent food.
