    This is a great Mexican restaurant! For starters, the building is really cool and looks authentic. The salsa was nice and chunky, and spicier than most restaurants too. Didn't have to wait long at all for the food. It all came out piping hot - almost too hot. No complaints on the taste of the food. Our waitress was great and the dining experience overall was superb!

    I ordered a Sunday special to go. It's a combo of one Chimichanga and Enchilada. Chimichanga tasted good, of which the grilled chicken and mashed beans inside mixed together and melted in my mouth, while the Enchilada with ground beef as the meat option was not that great. The cover was a little too greasy that it became so soft. The cheese on top was amazing tho. Dining environment seemed to be well decorated (I didn't take a close look at the inside). Staff were friendly, while they might be not super responsive during rush hours.

    i've frequented this location a few times and they always disappoint. the tables are only wiped when it's obvious food on it. the service is ok, friendly but the servers don't check in. it's a cute lil place w nice decorations. prices are decent, and food always hits. the margaritas are never fully blended though.

    Attracted by this place since last year I came to C-U, because of its bright pink color outside. But I only tried it recently. Love this restaurant!! Just as how it looks outside, the restaurant is full with bright colors and tropical decorations; eating there made me feel like traveling in some Mexican city really! Most importantly, I like their large menu and their huuuge portion! This is the place that comforts your stomach! They have the largest free salsa I have ever seen and they give you 4 tortillas instead of three! Up to now I had tacos, fajita and tamale. I really recommend trying their combinations so that you can get lots of food, try different dishes at the same time, and the price is very reasonable. Even better, the stuff knew about the foods well and the service was quick. I will surely have more meals there.

    Fiesta cafe is a go-to restaurant that is just a good casual place to go with your friends or whoever. I've been several times and have never had a particularly bad experience. It's also open til late compared to a lot of other restaurants (11pm), and the servers are nice without being too much. I usually get the Alex Tacos, what they're known for, which come with a mound of meat on each and these little grilled onion bulbs (I don't know what they're called) that I really love for some reason. Last night, I went for a friend's birthday dinner, and we got blended mango, passion fruit, and strawberry margarita pitchers and shared. They gave us sugar rimmed glasses with a sliced lime; it was a fun time! They also give you free chips and salsa which were gone within the first 5 minutes of us being there, but they refilled them for us :) Half of us got Alex tacos and other half got burritos. The ones that got burritos did comment that there were a lot of beans and not that much meat in them. Will still keep going every once in a while when I want some late night mexican food.

    I greatly like this place and was trying to figure out whether to give it a 4 or 5. Due to some weird things, I went with 4, but it's really a 4.5 This is the classic kind of Mexican restaurant, but their margaritas and tacos are out of this world. The mango margarita was phenomenal and big! I got the Alex tacos which is their specialty! Those might be the best tacos I've ever had! They are juicy and crispy! The only downside is that they are a little expensive, especially since they didn't come with a side. They were sizable tacos so it's really only like a couple of bucks too expensive. While they did super well in the remodel, the bathrooms are a little scary. One toilet was leaking tabs the other day was not really bolted to the floor. It was an odd experience especially since they just remodeled and cleaned up the restaurant. It looks really sharp. There are millions of options in Champaign Urbana, but this is one of the best places I've been too. What a hidden gem!

    Tried this fiesta cafe while in town visiting for the weekend. Overall what you'd expect from a Mexican style restaurant. The atmosphere was a little on the louder side. Everything tasted very authentic and the portions were quite large. I ordered the Leon dinner which came with a giant bean burrito covered in shredded cheese not queso sauce. A cheese enchilada with enchilada sauce and cheese on top and rice& beans. Everything tasted pretty good just wish they used the normal queso sauce like most places on top of their food. It was a bit heavy. The staff wasn't very attentive either which left us waiting for help a few times too. Would return for another chance here bc it was good overall, might just order differently.

    The soft shell steak tacos were soo good. The chicken was mid. Service was amazing never ran out of cokes. Food was so good the ambience felt like a fever dream. Went there because I saw an ad that they were selling birria tacos thru the weekend and went there on a sunday BOOM no tacos . Devastated. But its okay because overall food was good.

    The food was really good. There was a decent wait time and the servers could be more communicative but the ambience is laid back for a causal outting. Good place for larger groups. They are popular for their Alex tacos but I really enjoyed their Al Pastor taco.

    My go to for Mexican. Guac is yummy, chicken is great in any meal. Salsa isn't made with canned tomatoes. Margaritas are the best
