This restaurant was originally Alfonso's and I always came for the green sauce. The food was mediocre. Well now that it is Fiesta Margarita, I still find myself only coming for the green sauce and dumping it on mediocre food. I have been to Fiesta Margarita twice and found that they are very inconsistent. Both times, I ordered street tacos. The menu doesn't say it comes with beans and rice but on my second visit, it came with beans and rice. I tried to order barbacoa tacos on both visits but they didn't have any. I will just assume that they don't serve any barbacoa at all even tho it's on the menu. The first time the tacos were decent although I have had better. The green sauce definitely helps give the tacos flavor. The second time the tacos were sooo salty and the carnitas were extremely dry. The service is also hit or miss. Although the food is pretty mediocre to me, I can't stay away from the green sauce. It's just so good. The sauce is why I chose to give this restaurant a 3 star rating. It makes the food more enjoyable and I'll just have to keep coming back every now and then to get my green sauce fix. read more

Americanized but still decent Mexican food. Attentive service. Everyone gets their own bowl and bottle of salsa, so double-dipping would be OK. Margaritas will sneak up on you, so take them easy. Shrimp cocktails are large enough to be a main course unless sharing. Extensive and varied menu. Music on Saturday night! My tip of the day: The original Alfonso's is in Shelbyville TN. read more

Has changed hands, and to be honest lost it's appeal. Service has taken a fall, drinks were ordered but never arrived, food is still good, but last night they cut us off, 14+ people??? No one was drunk or badly behaved, and yet we were cut off, with no explanation given..... And then confusion over the bills. Need to find a new restaurant for our Friday nights. New owners, you need to look hard at the level and quality of service and take this review as constructive not destructive. read more

This is the first time I came here based on a friends recommendation and I love it. It has that classic Mexican restaurant vibe. Someone was having a birthday party and they pulled out the sombrero and sang. I got the pitcher margarita and the price and flavor was awesome. I loved the service and can't wait to come back again. Oh, and they give military discounts. My husband is a veteran so that is always an awesome bonus. read more

Not bad. I'm not a fan of the watery salsa-too hard to get it on the chip. The food took a long time to come out but they kept offering chips. The Dos Equis was nice and cold and the iced mugs were a nice touch. Food pretty good. I'd eat here a lot if I lived in this town. read more

My family and I enjoyed our lunch at Fiesta Margarita formerly known as Alfonso's. The new owner manager, Salvador "Chava" Guzmán greeted us as we arrived. Our meal was excellent and very delicious. We ordered from the lunch menu and had the chicken chimichanga, shrimp and steak quesadilla and a chicken burrito. Our grandchildren enjoyed chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger. Chava told us that the menu will be revised soon and new items like gorditas and small tacos will be available when the new menu is completed and presented. This is an excellent place in Murfreesboro to get excellent and delicious Mexican cuisine. Prices are very reasonable. My family and I recommend Fiesta Margarita to you. read more

We've been coming here for two years. The first year we built many relationships with the owner and staff and were always treated like family. Now, the owners have changed and the atmosphere has changed as well. We keep coming because we think maybe it's just a bad day for the staff but the food is always authentic. We recently came and we were the only people in there and we were treated like we were a nuisance. Never once did they crack a smile or use manners. Every time we looked around the staff would be on their phones--even making calls. I'm very very disappointed with how the establishment has changed. The previous owner had it packed and was always trying new things such as live music and trivia night to bring business in. He was a delight to talk to and an over all great man. It's a shame how it can go from a booming business to a ghost town. read more

Visited Fiesta Magarita for the first time and enjoyed it enough to go back. Had a pretty attentive waiter at first. Looking around the restaurant its hit or miss if you are going to sit on a torn up bench in the booth. The decor is lacking that fiesta feeling. Not many customers in there...hum...Moving on to the food, I ordered a chicken chimi with rice and beans, not bad at all, Good portions enjoyed the meal enough to go back. Fast forward, third time going there, got lucky and found a bench with minimum holes and wear on it, sat down and ordered my favorite go to chimi and rice and beans meal. The food came and the rice was super hard, when I mentioned it to the waiter he said, "oh ok," then went in the back kitchen and you can hear him telling the cooks about the rice so I thought ok he's going to bring me some fresh cooked rice in a bit...NOPE! He walked back to us and asked if we wanted a second beer..NOPE! Lost a customer buddy. Never said we will get you more rice or take it off your bill,,nothing! Not trying to do your job for you but when a customer tells you the food is not cooked, you should at least offer to replace it or take it off the bill. That would have made the difference of us coming back. But with this being said, we will take our business elsewhere. read more

Great food, good prices, AMAZING salsa, mediocre service and an unprofessional demeanor from the hostess, who was FaceTiming her friend while seating us... poor communication amongst the staff. Not the worst experience, but not the best either. Caminos or Nachos has them beat hands down. read more

Food: 4 Service: 2 This is a cute spot close to the mall in Murfreesboro. We really likes the food and thought that the prices were right on point, better than the competition. I think my pollo con queso was like eight bucks. We ordered green sauce with it, and it was quite a bit different that normal green sauce. This sauce was creamy a pale green, kind of weird. The hot sauce was super great (FYI they charge for all these different sauces). The salsa was a little runny, but the chips were hot and fresh. The restaurant itself has the traditional mexican vibe. They had a cute little old couple singing and playing music when we were there (friday night), but they were singing old 90's rock songs which was a bit odd. The only major complaint I had was the service. They were pretty slow and it was about 10 minutes until our server greeted us. read more

Great prices, service, and food. If you like spicy food, definitely ask for the green spicy dip. I'm not sure if it's on the menu, but it's amazing! They brought it out for us to try, and we loved it! Edit- First time we have gone on a Friday night. Not very good service tonight. Took forever to get a refill. It's so loud I've given up trying to talk to the wife. Probably not coming here again on the weekend. The food is still really good though. read more

Ate here earlier this week and haven't stopped thinking about it. The meal started with a presentation of salsa that was tasty in its own right, but included a jalapeño add-in as well as a red chile one. Both delish, and everyone gets their own bowl to eat from -- NICE TOUCH! The chips were unsalted, which I thought was a great idea since I like to decide how salty my foods taste. We started with the "small" bean dip and it was excellent: a bowl of beans (not small) covered in a cheesy sauce with no hint of evaporated milk taste like it has at many other Mexican places. It could have been a meal by itself. I had a combo plate that had a stuffed poblano, enchilada, taco, chalupa, and tamale. My husband had the carnitas. While I thoroughly enjoyed everything on my plate except the enchilada (I prefer a more chili powder and less tomato flavor to my sauce), I wanted to steal my husband's carnitas plate and make him order more! Of course, either plate had enough food for both of us to have shared and we brought home enough for supper that evening (and were none too sorry to be eating leftovers!). If I had to offer advice, it would be that when we were seated, the hostess tried to put us at the booth closest to the restrooms. That's a rookie mistake I see all too often in Murfreesboro since those seats should be the last to be occupied. We had to ask them to mute the television because the noise of it conflicted with the music they were playing. Either would have been fine, but both together was annoying. We enjoyed the Mexican tunes once the TVs were quiet. When we moved to the 'Boro three years ago from South Florida where this Texas girl hadn't had good Mexican food for years, we asked where to go for the best offering. We were told to drive down to Shelbyville, to Alfonso's. We never made it down there, but now we see why we were told to go! Glad to have this addition to the 'Boro! read more

Service and hospitality were great. Food came out in a timely manner and was delicious.

Just finished eating here. Food was fresh, spicy, and piping hot when it arrived at our table. It was tasty and our waitress was extremely friendly. They are really nice portions as well. We all had to take boxes home. Restaurant was clean and so was the bathroom. Definitely recommend. read more

After several visits this is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Good food and service

Warm, friendly, delicious aromas envelope you as you enter the space. The service is friendly and the food is top notch. I went in on a budget, and was not disappointed. Greeted with delicious chips and salsa, I ordered a margarita and three tacos alacarta. Everything was delicious and satisfying and the service was awesome. Highly recommended!! read more

Not bad, but not the greatest. It's a middle of the road kind of place... If you do go, best thing that's on the menu is the flaming pineapple. read more

I've been to almost every Mexican restaurant in Murfreesboro and this is easily the worst. I got the chicken tacos. Chicken was dry and flavorless. My son got chicken tenders and they were still pink on the inside. My wife's water tasted unfiltered and my sweet tea wasn't sweet and tasted like they used unfiltered water for it. Alfonso's cheese dip has way too much meat, also. The waitress brought the wrong meals to our table at first and the guy at the cashier looked hung over and didn't even have a pen for people to sign receipts. This place is just all around garbage. I don't know what in the world these people are talking about rating this place 5 stars. So many better Mexican places in MBoro. read more

I have heard about this spot quite often recently so today I have the opportunity to stop by and as advertised the margarita were really good. They are likely the best in town with the best prices. The service was really good and the food was good but could use some season. Chicken tacos are better than the beef but the quest is OFF the chain good. I will indeed visit this spot again. read more

As usual, great food, attentive waitress & manager. Place is well kept& clean. Only complaint is that the restroom walls could stand to be refinished with some tile or something. Restroom otherwise clean. read more

Fiesta Margarita Mexican Restaurant - Flaming pineapple is super awesome. - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

This is one of, if not my top favorite Mexican restaurants in murfreesboro. What stands out to me is their salsa, it's not tomato paste like some, it's flavorful and just slightly chunky. I have enjoyed every dish I've gotten here! Once, I ordered and picked up for multiple people at my job. That's always a messy business, but they got our orders right and the cashier helped me work through who's order was who's to pay. Everyone agreed you got a good amount of food for your money, and the salsa was really good. read more

Fiesta Margarita Mexican Restaurant - Mixed fajitas taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

My Daughter came in from College this weekend she said she likes Alfonso's Mexican So we all went the six of us. The waitress didn't look at all happy it like she didn't what to be there working tonight. She took our drink order and I ask for sweet tea with no Lemon the first thing I notice was the lemon wedge. all the rest of my guest had there drinks just find. we all were seated I found our table to be wobbling like the Manager doesn't care to fix this minor problem. The food was order as is. Mine was not really all that good it was Bland like were the flavor still in the frozen food section at the store? if you go here make sure you get good service at the price you pay and better flavor food then i did. read more

Oh yea!!! There's some awesome food here! Great service, too. HIGHLY recommend this little place! Next time, I'm trying the pineapple dish. read more

Fantastic!! The salsa is so fresh and the chips are thin and crispy. I ordered the grilled fish tacos. The fish was perfectly grilled and the sauce was sweet. If we lived here, it would be my go to Mexican restaurant!' read more

The salsa was very bland and watery. The food was pretty good but the chicken and steak were both pretty bland as well. You get a lot of food for what you pay for though. read more

Don't go here! My friend and I went here for the first time tonight and were EXTREMELY disappointed. The food came out lack-luster at best and cold, which made no sense considering we had to wait 45 minutes for it. You'd be better off buying a frozen dinner at the grocery store when it comes to quality. On top of that, we tried to use a coupon that was online through clipper magazine for bogo free entree, and whoever cashed us out (the owner, I assume) refused to let us use it because he had messed up the advertisement and "it was supposed to be expired already". The coupon said it expired on 5/2/2014, three weeks from now! He was rude and argumentative. I will NEVER return and I'll tell as many people as I can not to bother going there in the first place. Don't waste your time or money!! read more

Walked in and the service was terrible. Took awhile to get drinks(which were flat). The food was pretty bad also. Didn't enjoy the food or the service. Wouldn't recommend. read more

my husband and i went here for dinner last friday night because i saw they had live music on fridays and saturdays. we were quickly seated at the booth closest to the musician. we had just missed happy hour so that was a bummer, but we still ordered a pitcher of dos equis. it was reasonably priced at $7 a pitcher. my favorite things here HANDS DOWN were the chips and salsa duo. ¡ay díos mío! they bring out red salsa but also a delicious, spicy, and smooth bright green jalapeño salsa. the chips and regular salsa alone are great, but add a dollop of the jalapeño salsa in there and you are on another level. of course i ordered the fish tacos (see my other reviews) but they were somewhat disappointing. they weren't very flavorful but a few squeezes of lime juice helped with that. the main thing was that the corn tortillas were completely falling apart from the moisture from the fish. that's always a bummer when eating fish tacos! my husband ordered the hot shrimp and they were better than my tacos. the shrimp were cooked in a tomatillo sauce and served with flour tortillas, beans, and rice. they weren't very spicy if that's what they were implying by "hot" but still tasty nonetheless. not the best atmosphere for a mexican restaurant; brightly lit and not incredibly cozy. the live music was fun though. i will go back just for the salsa alone, but next time i will order a different entree. read more

Better places for the money and quality in Murfreesboro. One of four meals came out first, then the appetizer 7 minutes later, then 2 more entrees 5 minutes later than the fourth. Don't know about you but prefer and expect all entrees at the same time . read more

This was the absolute worst Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to. Don't waste your time or money

My experience here was not good at all. The salsa was made of watered down tomato sauce with no spice. I could've put it on spaghetti. The service was subpar. The waiter seemed mad and kept asking to take our order every 2 minutes when I had just sat down. The margarita on the rock was so watered down. I ordered it, and he came right back with it which leads me to believe it was just sitting there for a long time. It lacked flavor and couldn't even taste much lime. I complained to the gory about it because our waiter was no where to be found. He replaced it with a frozen margarita which was still watered down. I didn't even finish half of it. The enchiladas suiza were decent. I certainly wouldn't go there for that. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. There are much better Mexican restaurants in Murfreesboro. read more

Great food. Usually go there on my lunch break always in and out quick good prices and quality food. Can't go wrong

Food was horrible. I had the burrito California and the shrimp was undercooked. Their margarita's look like dirty sink water. Service is non existent. Will never come back. I think I'm gonna be sick. read more

We heard great things about Alfonso's and that they have live music on Fridays and Saturdays with an awesome happy hour ... we must give it a try! We were greeted promptly at the door but that was the fastest our service was all night. They were very busy so I keep saying that to myself but we told our server we really just wanted to do drinks and may order to go, so just keep our drinks flowing. Could we possibly be the easiest table?? Its 2 for 1 beers and margaritas and they bring 1 beer at a time (fine by me) I like my beer cold but when we finished our 1st beer there was no sight our 2nd would be coming soon. We had to stop the manager and ask if we could get our next round because we sat there with empty drinks for about 8-10 mins. (no exaggeration!) I told my husband, lets not get too annoyed yet. Our server can still save herself from a bad review ... well she didnt come back to check on us and we had to again ask the manager for our bill. We had one round and I couldn't leave fast enough. Oh and the music ... nothing to even comment on. They were super busy so I would give it 1 more try but I cant make any promises. read more
