    My last visit to Fiesta Latina was a horrible experience from the start. Arrived and was rudely greeted by a server who advised the credit card machine was down. During this time some people in our group walked to a near by store to find an ATM. Server brought out chips, never asked if we wanted drinks but asked if we needed more chips. Bottle 16.9oz Coke, asked for Mexican Coke and was told no more. Ordered chorizo queso for it to come out as thick as velveeta cheese. Asked for it to be hotter, came back from the microwave 2 minutes later. Food then came out, cold, lettuce with carrot strips. Other parties food appeared to be microwaved. Servers were not pleasant and very rude. As many times we have been here, definitely gone down hill. Even asked if management has changed.

    This was a special they were doing with short ribs, it was AMAZING!!! The tacos are Al Pastor, and Asada.

    The food here is mostly Centro American, I see a lot of complaints and I'm confused bc my experience at Fiesta Latina has always been terrific, I go almost weekly. They have possibly the best pastor tacos in the city and awesome asada tacos. The Salvadoran tamales are especially delicious, as well as the pupusas mixtas.

    It's been several months since we had breakfast here. It is still good as ever. We were not disappointed. The only thing is the service is lacking. We had to go and pay at the counter because we were finished and our server never came to see if we needed anything else. If you don't mine the servers not checking on you, make it a point to visit for breakfast. My husband and love come in for breakfast. It is hard to decide on what to get because everything is so delicious. However, my go to is the Huevos Rancheros. All the flavors blend together to create fiesta in your mouth. I also order a side of fried plantains to enjoy with a bit sugar sprinkled on top. The whole experience is worth the trip to South Kenner. He have to limit ourselves because we always overeat.

    I ordered for delivery from Uber Eats and this is my first time getting food from here. I got the chimichanga and I'm not trying to be dramatic but the day I ate this chimichanga was better than the day I graduated from college. Everything tastes great, fresh, lots of flavor and the prices are great. If you haven't gotten food from here yet, you're missing out.

    Ok, so my Venezuelan friend says I want to take you to a good Spanish restaurant and so of course the foodie in me says hell yeah! she takes me to a side of town I dont see very often and ill leave it at that. we sit by an empty stage? and the waitress comes up to take our drink order. I order a very white girl drink,iced tea. It ended up being sweet tea but I drank the liquid sugar anyway. We ordered the pork and cheese papusas,fried plantains and the sopa de marisco(seafood soup) everything was amazing! Im still dreaming about the broth. The plantains are served with creme fraiche(american terminology) and are heaven in your mouth. The papusas were good but I think next time I either wont order them again or ill doctor them up a bit. The soup contained white fish(prob tilapia),tons of shrimp,mussels and celery and onions in a coconut milk broth. Yummy! 3 people can easily share it and I happily ate my leftovers the next day. I def will return. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars bc of the decor/atmosphere. Mexican items are on the menu as well As far as the stage, it used to be a club at night but it got too rowdy

    Great Mexican Food On the Corner This is a little gem of a place serving really good Mexican & Central American food. I have been here more than a few times over the many years and it's always really good. I ordered the beef vegetable soup and this is not the first time I have gotten it. It's the best I've had. Delicious beef flavor and the Mexican veggies are large. I also ordered one soft beef taco which is grilled steak. It too is terrific. They have a great staff of lovely waitresses that wear a smile all the time.

    My generously portioned $2.25 margarita!

    Quite simply the best Mexican food I've EVER had in 45 years…read more 10/10 flavor 10/10 Service

    We rolled into dinner hungry...like "scan-the-menu-before-you-sit-down" hungry, and in the mood for…read moregreat Mexican food and a couple of memorable cocktails. A few years ago I had been to La Tia in Metairie, and it left a serious impression. What stuck with me most were the craft cocktails...creative, clever, and a little bit mischievous. I still remember one in particular: a Mexican-inspired cocktail with mezcal and beet juice that somehow managed to taste like summer decided to take a vacation south of the border. It was the kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and say, "Okay... whoever thought of this deserves a raise." Somehow the place drifted off my radar over time. But when the craving for Mexican food hit, it popped right back into my head. I was excited to bring my son and daughter-in-law since they had never been. Unfortunately... the reunion didn't exactly go as planned. Two things hit me immediately while looking over the menu. First: the craft cocktails were gone. Not "different." Not "updated." Just... gone. Replaced with the same drinks you see in every other Mexican restaurant. Second: the prices nearly made me spit out the water I hadn't even ordered yet. $6 for a Corona. $18 for a basic burrito with fries. $10 for a kids plate over chicken tenders and some fries. And not the old La Tia burritos either...the ones I remembered piled high with rich molé, bright verde sauces, and layers of flavor that made you wonder if you should be taking notes. Nope. Now we're talking about a plain flour tortilla with some ground meat inside, no sauce, and a side of what looked suspiciously like freezer-aisle French fries. For eighteen dollars. My daughter-in-law ordered the fajitas, and honestly... they were rough. Thin strips of overcooked meat that looked like they had taken a brief vacation in a plastic bag before hitting the grill...served on a plate. Lately I've gotten into the habit of pulling up Yelp photos to compare dishes from past years, and I did exactly that. I found a photo of the same fajitas from about three years ago...big, juicy steak pieces, sizzling on cast iron and full of life. What we got looked like it came from a completely different restaurant. To be fair, my shrimp tacos were actually pretty good. Nicely cooked shrimp, decent flavor, and probably the lone bright spot of the night. But overall, it felt like the La Tia I loved had quietly packed up and left the building. The elevated Mexican food? Gone. The rich sauces? Gone. The inventive cocktails that made the bar worth sitting at? Also gone. In their place: food that feels pulled from a bag... at prices that feel pulled from a luxury menu. It's a tough thing when a restaurant you once loved loses its spark. But sadly, this visit felt less like a reunion and more like running into an old friend who has completely changed--and not for the better. As much as I hate to say it, I don't see myself returning to La Tia anytime soon. Turns out the only thing that stayed spicy... was the price tag.

    I had a fun girls' lunch here this week and the staff was welcoming and took such good care of us…read more We started with the guacamole and it was a VERY generous portion. It was tasty too. I had the Dorita's Famous Chicken and Mandarin Salad. It was ok. I think I was expecting more due to the name, but the chicken was lacking flavor and so was the poppyseed dressing. I think an alternative dressing would have made a big difference. What I did notice was that all of the dishes were very generous and almost everyone had lots of leftovers. Also, there is a large lunch menu (which most of us ordered from), and it's available on Saturdays as well. Big plus.

The Nachos Garcia are phenomenal. Margaritas too...always good. Service has always been fine. Now. The bad. Y'all. The ladies' room smells aggressively terrible. "Room" autocorrected to "run," and that felt spiritually accurate. It smells like someone made a series of deeply personal choices and then left them behind. Not a faint odor. Not a "maybe it needs attention." I am talking full, undeniable, immediate presence of Satan's butthole. One step inside and your body goes, "Absolutely not." Every time I've been here. Every. Single. Time. I have to hold my breath for the entire bathroom visit unless I want to gag and rethink my life decisions. Seriously. Today I almost lost my nachos before I even ate them. I should not need lung capacity training to use a restaurant bathroom. I genuinely like this place and keep coming back because the food and drinks are good. But please. I am begging. Exorcise whatever is haunting that bathroom. No margarita is strong enough to erase that experience.
