Love the atmosphere and the decor. Even the chairs are painted with ethnic designs! There are booths on the side and tables that can be arranged to accommodate larger parties. Our server was great! He was so attentive and friendly, regularly checking if we needed anything and filling our waters. The food was good but not super exciting. The taco salad needed a little more kick for my tastebuds. The carnitas were okay. The burrito grande was big! read more

Great service. Great food. The margarita was just ok. It was a little too sweet for my taste.

It's been a while but it was average! Not sure what the food lacks but maybe some consistency! read more

Fiesta Cancun - Salsa and Chips are delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

Amazing decorations and ambiance, food was stellar coming from a half Mexican used to eating homemade authentic food. 10/10 and great servers will be back !! read more

We ordered the guacamole appetizer to start, it arrived and you could tell right away it wasn't fresh, came from a package. Wasn't good, and to top it off the waiter's thump touched the guacamole when he set it down. I ordered a Fajita Quesadilla and my husband ordered enchiladas. I had one bite and was very disappointed. It was more like a chicken taco. There were no peppers to speak of and just tasted terrible. The rice and beans were not good either. The whole meal was just gross!! The waiter never offered to get me something else just said sorry. I never ate the entree and should not been charged. When we paid the check the manager never even asked how was everything which is the usual question when you pay. I told him my meal was awful and he just said have a good evening. Needless to say we would never go back to Fiesta Cancun off of Perryville read more

So first off I will say that this restaurant is very clean and has a very good scenic atmosphere to match the cuisine. The bathrooms were clean and smelled good and the bar area looked well-stocked. Did not notice a lot of people in this place. The staff was professional however they were not at all cheery or smiling nor did they want to carry on a conversation with you other than take your order. Some people may like that some people might not. There is plenty of room to park and plenty of seating so that you are not congested. The food is another story. It was actually the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. The rice was the only thing that was remotely good and it had corn, snaps, onions and lima beans in it which you would expect and a good Mexican rice. The beef I chose was ground beef and it had several meatball size chunks that I had to cut apart with a fork and two small bones, very small of course, that I had to pull out of my mouth. After the second one I stopped eating my burrito and enchilada. I did eat the taco it pretty much tasted like the rest. The chips were obviously store-bought and tasted like cardboard, no tortilla goodness here, the salsa was ok but they only give you enough for almost half of your chip basket. There was no distinguishing flavor between the burrito, the enchilada or the taco or three pretty much taste the same with the exception of a hardshell or softshell. The thing that bothered me the most about my meal was that the food was barely warm. Nothing on my plate was hot and the closer I got to the center of my food the cooler it was which made me wonder if they microwave the food. Another reason I thought this is my food was a literally out in eight minutes. I even told the waitress that was fast almost too fast. I drink tea and water. The tea was good. I noticed that there was quite a bit of food left on other peoples plates as I went to the register to pay. I seriously think they need to revisit the quality of the food they are serving as well as Howard is prepared. People don't want slightly warm/cold food that is cooked in less than 10 minutes. I would not recommend this place. I checked the reviews and thought it pretty good to try but maybe those reviews are from a time when they had different staff and their food was different? I do know that there was one review that said they had really good chips, which I was expecting, only to find out they had changed the chips that they used at that time. I feel like I threw away money. read more

We went here for dinner. I ordered the combo plate and requested chicken and was served beef. A different server brought our food to the table and then was extremely rude when I brought it up to her that I had ordered chicken and not beef. We weren't impressed with the food when it finally did arrive as it seemed bland. There are better Authentic Mexican restaurants in Rockford to give business to. We wont be back. read more

The positives: the portions and prices for lunch were just okay. The negatives: one of the longest waits...from getting the chips and salsa to getting drinks to even being able to place an order. We had a party of 5 and we all had to ask for any service multiple times. Then, the waitress kept on coming back to confirm specifics of orders. The food came out staggered - over the span of at least 12 minutes. No water was refilled. And the taste of the food? Dry, flavorless, some burnt, different toppings than ordered.... Then, the delay to get our check - what a joke! We had to each go up to the register and tell them what each person ordered again. They kept on asking about margaritas....4 of us ordered water and one ordered Pepsi. We had to repeatedly explain that we didn't order any alcohol! We will not be back. Not worth it. read more

Great food for a great price. Service is always fast! I have been here more times than I can count on my two hands. This is a lunch break option or a dinner out, either way, it's speedy service! The chips and salsa are addicting as always. Some of my meal suggestionswould be the buritto cho cho which is a chicken burrito that they cover in their delicious cheese sauce and served with rice and beans. The fajitas, grande quesadilla, and cocktail de camaron are all excellent options as well. The margaritas can be hit or miss here. read more

Good and fast service. The crew was really on their toes last night. The food was average. The chips were thick and slightly warm and the salsa was a traditional red salsa. The burrito and enchilada were virtually the same, really couldn't tell them apart. The tamale was too hard to eat. The restaurant is located in a strip mall, but the interior is very nice and decorated with "Modern-Mex" furniture. My ticket before tip was $12.01. read more

Went on a lunch date and had to try the lunch special of the day which was chicken fajitas. They were very good and very filling. (We asked for cheese on the side though.) Chips and salsa were complimentary and they were good as well. Tasted authentic unlike some joints. Atmosphere was nice. Loved the seating. Wait staff was also very nice and helpful. I would go back again! read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat for the price. I'll pick Fiesta Cancun before anywhere else. The tamales are great or I'll get two fish tacos with cilantro, onion and sour cream. read more

I went here for dinner the other night for dinner with a friend. The food was decent. I ordered the Enchilada's Suizas. I judge a Mexican restaurant by their enchilada's. They're my favorite. I have to say the enchiladas were okay. I wasn't overly impressed with them. They were good enough, but nothing I would go out of my way to eat. You get the standard chips and salsa starter. The salsa was watery and lacked flavor. It was more like tomato juice. The atmosphere was pretty good, they have the standard Mexican restaurant. Lots of colors and Hispanic decor. The restaurant itself was clean. The service was kind of lack luster. We would go long periods of times with out drink refills. I would visit again, but it wouldn't be my first choice of Mexican restaurants in town. read more

Do not get carry out i called at 4 and they said it'd be done in 10 mins so i got there at like 4:15 and stood there waiting for someone to help me then finally 20 mins later someone asks what i need and i say i have an order to go and he says i'll go check then he never comes back then a girl asks what i need goes and looks and never comes back and then finally another girl asks and comes back with me food and didn't leave with my food until 5. read more

It can really bad. The best part of my experience was that the waiter was nice although not very attentive. The salsa was had no kick at all. It was almost sweet. I asked for something spicier and the guy brought me some runny chile sauce. At least it had some heat to it. I ordered an appetizer and an entre. They brought both at the same time. The quesadilla was just chicken in a tortilla. No cheese or onion or cilantro. Nothing to bind or give flavor! My entre was a chimichanga. This was gross. A chimi is supposed to be fried to perfection right? Not this one. It had a disgusting wet tortilla wrapped around steak fajita filling which was ok but really greasy. I can say I have tried this one and will not be back. Some folks obviously like. I do not. read more

Went with a friend and the fiancé for dinner tonight. Me and her have been here a few other times. Tonight was a big disappointment. We found out from our waitress that a new owner had taken over so we still stayed and seen how it was. It was horrible. It's twice the price and you get alot less with the new owner then you did with the old owner. How are you going to charge double for food that tasted like a 8 yr old cooked. My enchilada was soggy and had no tast. My fiancé and our friend got the taco salad he got beef and she got chicken. Omg when they came they had maybe 5 pieces of shredded cheese on both and they had to ask for extra cheese. Then he said his was all soggy for the shell part and it tasted like plain beef with no seasoning. My fiancé said they same but with hers she had to take all the shredded chicken off since it tasted like tuna which tells me the chicken could have been bad. Not to mention the portions were to small for the prices compared to what theyuse to be. The waitress wasn't very good didn't even ask if we wanted refills or needed anything else. And the guy that checked us out didn't even ask me how it was or even give me a recite. Not to mention they charge you almost 2 bucks to use a debit or credit card and that took my bill up over 50 bucks. On top of all that I'm thinking about going to the hospital in the next 24 48 hours because I think me and the fiancé might have gotten food poisoning since we got 3 of the signs of food poisoning. I could have went to taco bell and got a better taco with flavoring. read more

Really good authentic Mexican! Fajitas with housemade tortillas, salsa and queso were served quickly, sizzling and tasty. Monday's $5.99 special 32oz margarita was smooth and delicious, too! Room for a crowd if you have one! read more

Fast, friendly, and the food is awesome. My wife and I both had the crane asada taco dinner. We agreed it was some of the best steak we've ever had. The only bad thing I can find is it's 2 hours away from home. read more

Food was ok and reasonably priced. The food and salsa were bland though. Waitress was good and kept us supplied well.

The service was great from the get go from the seating to receiving the bill. They were very tentative but in a nice way. We ordered the beef chimichangas. The food came out fresh from the kitchen which is great. They never rushed my friend and I; they let us take our time which is very rare now a days. I would come back again and order other unique entrees or even a margarita. read more

I've eaten here a couple times, but just got around to the review. I was in the area for work, and the last visit had been around 6 months ago. I knew my first visit was memorable, just not if it was good or bad. The second visit confirmed it was not good. Everything had zero flavor. Chicken was dry, and even though it was breast meat, had the same flavor as the beef and steak: none. The cheese enchilada was weird, in that it wasn't cheese, but a queso sauce that leaked out. Chili rellaño was hard (I've had them all over the world, and this was tougher than any; worse than raw). Salsa for chips was tomato juice with cumin. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Pretty run of the mill mexican food..had the Carne Asada tacos, toreados., salsa .. very average mexican fare. I cant say anything pro or con. The service was quick and efficient. Salsa tasted like doctored up canned tomato product. To average for me to ever come back and spend my money read more

This was for a takeout order. There was a 25 cent upcharge on each item if you want to order takeout (that's bizzare). The tacos were a soggy, disgusting, unappetizing mess. The chips had no flavor, the burritos were reminiscent of frozen Walmart brands. To top off the garbage experience, we were charged incorrectly and the guys working the counter were rude. So, basically, we're never going back here. read more

Had lunch here today and the food was very good the service was excellent as well. The prices are very affordable and portion sizes are nicely for the price.

A high service cantina. Well prepared with an attention to detail that will please the tastebuds mightily. I ordered off menu to keep my carbs down and they made an excellent avocado salad to go with my Mexican steak that really did the meal. read more

Food is good so on Jan 25 I reserved a table for 8 people for Feb 12. On Feb 9 I confirmed reservation only to show up on Feb 12 the to them telling me there's no reservation. Then when I showed man at the host stand that I had it in writing ina message, his response was well we don't have it, must have been taken by an employee. No apology, didn't even attempt to accommodate us. WTF??? so we ended up at two separate tables across from each other, and that was only because the server did that for us. She is only one that salvaged the evening. Will not return here. So disappointed as it wasy restaurant choice. read more

Don't know what it is about the fiestas out here in this area, they all seem to be going down hill. Came here for lunch and the food was okay for the exception of a rubber band in my pico a small amount of steak in my tacos and poor service. When I brought up the issues no action was taken except to take my pico and offer me lettuce and cheese. Service was very poor with our empty drinks and having to wait for our waiter to return. I'd check the chocolate milk for the kiddos if you get it, it was warm. read more

The whole family loves eating here. The servers are all really friendly and attentive. The menu isn't unusual or creative, but the quality exceeds the taquerias in town. It's has vibrant decor with great prices. It's not a happy hour hangout. It's more of a family dinner place. Oddly, my favorite item on the menu is their chicken soup. It's in a clear broth with shredded chicken, rice, and garnished with avocado slices and cilantro. The bowl is enough for two, especially if you dig into their complimentary chips and salsa like me. read more

Fiesta Cancun - Caldo de Pollo. $6.50 Huge bowl! - Mexican Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

Ordered a carryout, bill was 90.00 tried to use a visa gift card with a 100.00 balance, the card was declined. When it called to find out why the card company said they tried to charge 108.00. I paid with my personal debit card. When it called the restaraunt to find out why they tried to charge over 18.00 above my bill the manager said they don't do that, but that since I had my money, just in the gift card not my bank account I shouldn't have a problem. No investigation into what happened, just you weren't overcharged in the end so too bad so sad. Beware they are preauthorizing a 20% even on carry out. read more

Went for lunch with a few buddies. Service was excellent, the server came to the table right away, took drink orders and brought them back quickly. After we ordered our food came fast, chips and salsa was good food was nothing special but nothing to complain about either. I've had better authentic Mexican but good enough to return. read more

This is our second time trying this place. We were at the other location in Loves Park probably 5 years ago and we didn't like it. Decided to try it again tonight in a Rockford and it was excellent. The juevos con chorizo and combo meal was delicious. The service was great too. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

I love Fiesta!! My friends and I love coming here! We've gone many times over the last few years, for birthdays, to celebrate the end of semesters, and sometimes just for fun! Its also great because a couple of my friends are vegetarian and they have plenty of options without having to sacrifice taste. The most recent time I went was a few days ago and I had the chicken fajitas, I almost always have these. When you are seated though, you are automatically given chips and salsa. The salsa is mild and the chips have no salt on them, which I love. If you're in the mood, they also have the best margaritas which come in a variety of sizes, or you can always order a pitcher. The chicken fajitas come with rice, refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce on the side. The chicken comes with onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. The food portions are large and I generally take half home. The service here is great and fast! Easy place to come for lunch or dinner. I recommend this place to everyone! read more
