Came here to celebrate a birthday. Service was so slow and horrendous. Foods were getting mixed up. We felt ignored for drink refills. Wrong margaritas were being made or not brought out at all. For a mediocre at best Mexican restaurant, they should do better. I don't think many people come for the food but definitely come for the drinks. If you don't mind waiting for a LONG time to get service or even noticed, this is your place. I want to love this place but I can't. Service is that horrible. Ambiance is great and their patio is really nice outside. read more

Fiesta Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

Very basic Mexican fare I've sworn I've written a review for this place. Eh, all well. I use this place as a barometer for Mexican food. What you get here is the bare bones stock version of Mexican cuisine. Not bad, but usually with lots of cut corners and inferior quality dishes. It's not that they don't try. They do season their microwaved rice and doctor up their cans of refried beans to bring some flavor to the mix. Their chips are warmed and their salsa has some extra spice added in. It's the type of Mexican cuisine suitable for the older generation. Not offensive, basic flavors and comfortable. The price point reflects this, and it's relatively affordable for what you get. This isn't a place I go to expecting great food. This place I go to for that one step above a fast food taco place, and it meets those expectations. If you need a place to take a family to, or you have parents and want to get them something they can handle spice wise, then this place works. read more

The highlight of my meal was my mango margarita. Good price and strong, lol. I got the al pastor tacos which were a good portion but the pork could've been seasoned more. I subbed the beans for rice which was very yummy, but too small of a small portion. My mom got the birria tacos which she loved. Service was polite. Overall, good experience. Thank you guys! read more

Went for a much-needed girl's night last night. The service was amazing! Our waiter was so attentive and friendly. Brought our drinks out so fast! Filled up our chip basket too. We never really had to ask for anything because he was so great. We started off with queso and table-side guacamole. Queso was good, but the guacamole was amazing. I got in the car and told my husband about it immediately. We are definitely coming back just for that. Drinks were good, but I think the bartender had a light hand. I had two and I didn't feel a buzz, which is unusual for me. I'm a lightweight lol. I ordered the 3 enchiladas, one beef, one cheese, one chicken. It was good, not great. But don't overlook this restaurant, come at least for the table-side guacamole! It will change your life. read more

I sat outside for lunch. The temperature was not too hot 73°. I found that their food wasn't properly seasoned. Everything needed salt and pepper. I do not usually have to season Mexican food. The soup was bland, as well as the black beans and spanish rice. I tried to keep eating, but I left much behind. The outdoor patio is very pretty though. read more

A few business associates suggested we stop here for a few beers, appetizers and dinner - the four of us found seating at the bar, we arrived just after 5:00 PM so the place was mostly empty, we were immediately greeted by the friendly bartender simultaneously a second server delivered two baskets of chips and salsa. I was eyeballing the draft beer selection and was happy to see they had both Amber and Lager Dos Equis so I ordered a grande 22 oz in a chilled mug of the Amber variety. We decided to order a few appetizers to start - lettuce wraps, stuffed jalapeños and chicken flautas (crispy fried roll tacos) all arrived quickly and hot from the kitchen they were just okay in my opinion but everyone seemed to be okay with them and the drinking continued. After a number of beers we decided to look at the menu again and order dinner - it looks like all of us wanted some type of burrito (these were recommended) - I ordered a carne asada burrito it came super wet filled with rice and beans and a minimum portion of steak, honest it was just okay I deconstructed it and picked out the steak, I wrote it off that I ordered badly. I will say the chips and salsa were very good, I would come back for beers and the chips and the excellent customer service... read more

In the beginning there was Tacorral on Broad st in Manchester CT. I grew up on their Tex Mex offerings and was a huge fan until they vanished many years ago. And ever since those days long ago I have searched for decent TEXMEX cuisine. Do you have a crunchy taco? Not just the floppy limp ones? Check. That's a good thing, cus theres a place in Glastonbury thats constantly packed and the only taco you can get is a limp shell that has salmon in it, or some pork belly or something. Noooo! Too fancy for me! But that's the way it works south of the border. A true Mexican will mock your crunchy Ortega taco shell and tell you to go back to New england with your blasphemy! Ok, I get it. I just seek simplicity, a decent green tomatillos sauce for my enchilada for example, maybe tortilla chips that aint stale with a spicy enough salsa to give em some zing. Not too much to ask, but I've found so many places that cant handle the basics of simple Tex-mex fair. Tomato's in my taco? Yes! Fiesta Mexicana can handle it. Plenty of booths to sit in, and has a bar section if you need to be closer to the booze while you listen to fiesta music. The food is good, it comes out fast on a really hot plate, and the crew is friendly and efficient. I'll go back and explore the menu further. read more

My MIL was a Spanish teacher for many years and loves her Mexican food. We went to fiesta Mexicana for dinner on a Sunday. It was very busy for the time of day both in the dining room and the bar. The decor is very Mexican traditional. Lots of Talavera And Mexican decorations. I have a gluten allergy so I ordered enchiladas. My mother-in-law ordered shrimp enchiladas. Both were very good and we had enough to bring home leftovers. We ordered dessert, flan for both of us. The flan is gluten-free and was very tasty and creamy. Excellent. My mother-in-law ordered a strawberry margarita, not frozen. She said it was excellent. I ordered dinners to go for my kids. Carne Asada and chicken quesadillas. Both were good, but they forgot the tortillas on the Carne Asada so I have to take a star away for that. I do recommend fiesta Mexicana. Authentic Mexican food and drink. At reasonable prices. read more

I've been here a few times. The food is pretty good overall. Nothing amazing over-the-top and nothing terrible. Not really somewhere I would drive out of the way for, but if you live in the neighborhood, definitely a decent Mexican restaurant. The biggest complaint I had was the two margaritas we bought. It literally tasted like water. There was no alcohol at all in it to the point where me and my wife were questioning it if this was a virgin margarita or not. I would've gave this restaurant a four had the drinks been decent? If I do go back here, I won't be ordering any alcoholic drinks unless it's beer. read more

10 out of 10 experience every time. The food tastes amazing. The food is always consistent and the portion sizes are big. The chili con queso is some of the best queso you'll have. The classic burrito is SO good. The shredded beef melts in your mouth, and there are always left overs to take home. The staff are so friendly and always on top of anything you may need. The food is delivered fast and their margaritas are one of my favorites. The vibes are nice and cozy. There is music always playing and the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. read more

My husband and I decided to try this spot just because. We were promptly greeted and had a table right away. His place has great fast service and everyone was attentive of our needs. If you're looking for a place to feed a family, this is the spot for you. We ordered fajitas for 2 but honestly it can feed a family of 4. You do have the option of getting corn tortillas vs flour. We got both since I prefer corn verses flour. We ordered the live guacamole and it was delicious! So fresh and love the cilantro pieces I got. I have no complaints. It's good food reasonably priced. read more

Fiesta Mexicana is a great spot for dinner! I went on a Friday evening around 8 pm and there was a wait for my party of 2 but we were able to sit in the bar area. The service was great, all the food came really fast and we were checked in on often. Our drinks were great, my flavor margarita with mango was one of the best margaritas I've ever had. Our combo fajita was really good, it was a good portion of food for the two of us and we had a lot of leftovers. The free salsa and chips at the beginning are also good. read more

No complaints. Called in for a reservation of a party of 7, few days before, and my table was ready. They sat us before a few of our guests arrived which was nice because some places don't hold for you unless the whole party is there. Can't go wrong with the drinks the frozen Mexican margarita was perfect and the large house margarita for $10 is plenty. The food is your typical Mexican food with huge portions. I like the attention we received they made sure our waters were topped off and everything was going good without over doing it. The only slight issue I had was it was kinda cold in there and that's coming from someone who's house is at a solid 65 degrees, I don't know if it was an off day but it was unpleasantly cold. read more

Bright atmosphere. Great having an outdoor option for nice weather. Love the Seafood chimichanga. Service was fast and upbeat.

Excellent fresh guacamole. The carne asada tacos were filled with meat, cilantro, and onion. It could have come with a lime and next time we will ask. Service was top notch. Quick with filling our bowls of chips and taking out orders. We will definitely come back. Our only complaint was that it was extremely hot in the restaurant. read more

I've eaten at Fiesta Mexicana a bunch of times and genuinely enjoyed the experience each time. It has the feel of a classic, family owned local place: It's clean, brightly decorated, with friendly, efficient service and good food at reasonable prices. The staff are attentive, you can get fresh made guacamole right at your table, and their margaritas are pretty good too. I usually get the fajitas. My friends have had chicken mole, huevos rancheros and some combos, too. All good. There are booths but they can handle larger groups (6-10) easily by combining tables. I'll be back, for sure. It is close to the highway and the local rail trail. read more

It was good was scalding hot but very tasty. Their tortilla chips are just okay, no salt in them and even though they are supposedly "freshly made"-I felt they were a bit stale. The salsa with it has no real flavor, I like mine a bit chunky as well. Overall we would go back for other dishes for lunch or dinner. read more

Regular customer at this restaurant. Was very disappointed in the service along with food. We were seated and waited a bit for server to come over. We ordered drinks and them sat for a while longer. Drinks arrived and then we ordered food which was clearly not up to par. The chorizo along with the Taco Birria and the ground beef had no flavor at all. We asked for extra salsa for the chips and were told there would be an extra charge. In the 10 years we have been going there we have never had a bad experience. The portions were much smaller than normal as well. Looks like we will be giving this place a break for a bit. read more

Good food, good portions and friendly staff. Clean and inviting. I highly recommend it.

Quantity, not quality. Rice and beans mushy.... Dry and tasteless!!! Chicken fajit... loaded with cheese.... Very little chicken!!!!!

This place is consistently good and offers tasty menu selections. I am a huge fan of the chicken quesadillas, guacamole, and fajitas. Ingredients are always fresh. This is, by far, the best Mexican establishment in the area. read more

So good! Craving Mexican food after work today, but wanted to try something new. I was in the area, and this place got good reviews so we stopped in. We were greeted and sat immediately, the waitress came over and had water chips and salsa ready for us. She was so kind, very friendly, very attentive, but not too much where we felt like she was hovering. We started with the chips and salsa as I said. The chips were fresh, crunchy, and had the right amount of salt on them. I wish the salsa was a little bit spicier because there's definitely wasn't any heat to it but it was still tasty. We ordered the stuffed jalapeño peppers, pretty sure they were frozen as the texture of the cream cheese left a little to be desired, but they were still good. Honestly, felt like it was something I could've bought from the frozen section in the store. The raspberry margarita I ordered was delicious , I ordered it on the rocks and with sugar on the rim, and it was just the right amount of sugar and the right amount of ice. I couldn't make up my mind on the enchiladas, so I went with the mix, the shredded beef with the Verde sauce was beyond what I was hoping for. It was absolutely delicious. The white chicken enchilada was really good but definitely cheesy. I wasn't a huge fan of the shredded beef and red sauce so I am going to give that to my husband. Really great. This is going to be our new spot! read more

This is place is your average Mexican place to go out with families. They can seat a large group which is always great. We recently dined out and I really enjoyed the margaritas. I had the skinny coconut marg (large) and it was good! I've had better coconut margs but I was honestly surprised they had it on the menu. The other flavored frozen margs were just alright. I like how they do swirl though, and I'd try that next time. Now for the food, we started with table side guac. It was good. I wasn't a huge fan of their salsa, but the chips were hot. For a main, I had the enchiladas verde & they were good, just your classic enchiladas. My boyfriend got the taco salad and was not impressed. In fact he didn't want to finish it which is SO out of character. We had great service nonetheless! I've heard the fajitas are great, so in the future i would try that. read more

We dined here for hubby's birthday with his parents. This was their first time dining here, although they've had take-out before. The vibe here is nice & it's fun for everyone! The bar has seating beyond the dining room. Their drinks are so good! Service is great always. Chips & salsa are brought to the table right after you are seated. They typically serve a medium salsa but you can request mild as we did. The medium is somewhat chunky while the mild is not but has a great tangy flavor. Both are good. The menu has plenty of options. We've tried several entrees and enjoyed every one of them. This time around I ordered the Tacos de Camaron (shrimp tacos) as did my MIL. The shrimp is similar to a Mexican shrimp scampi. We both enjoyed our entrees & couldn't finish everything. Seafood is fresh and the sauce served on the side is delicious. Hubby ordered his favorite seafood chimichanga smothered in a fantastic cheese sauce. And believe me, I'm a cheese sauce fanatic! My FIL ordered enchiladas Mexicanas and barely spoke while he ate. Hehehe Needless to say, he was very pleased! The rice & beans served here are very good. They make the best refried beans IMO. Service is very good here and the food is consistently good. read more

Service was nice. The ambiance was up beat. But the food was not good. Chimichanga was just a burrito with only mean in it... it wasn't fried. I would have just ordered a burrito if I knew. The food was also tasteless. But maybe it was just my meal ‍ read more

Great authentic Mexican food in a family friendly environment. Good service so they make a terrific margarita

Just moved to the area, and was really excited to find a place close by that had tasty and healthy offerings. We ordered three different sandwiches, and everyone was pleased. Mine was the roast beef chimichurri - little spicy and delicious! Will definitely be ordering from again. read more
