I live right on top of a 'Mexican' restaurant and every time I go there it's due to sheer…read moredesperation for lack of good Mexican food in CNY. Every time I lament the fact I spent money to eat there... I had read that this was a good one on the 'Where Syracuse Eats' Facebook page, which can be a pit of snakes at times. I decided to bookmark it, as a 'just in case' I was ever passing through Waterloo. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my mom and I walked in around 5:30-5:45 p.m. and not a soul was in the place. Apparently, people in Waterloo eat dinner around 6 p.m. so the place was popping as we were eating and then leaving. My mom is a vegetarian so we shared the vegetarian combo D plate. I ate the tostaguac and she had the enchilada, and we shared the rice. I normally find the rice at Mexican restaurants to be underwhelming, even at my favorite spot in Detroit. This was delicious and I ate it! (There may have been some debate on who should get the last few bites of rice!) I also ordered a side of their hot salsa. I think this was $2 but it was so good and so worth it. The regular salsa was fine but not spicy at all. Service was fast once we decided what to order. No pictures because I was too excited by an actual Mexican place within a reasonable distance from me! Skip the places in Syracuse and come to La Fiesta Brava!

Walked in and there were already a couple of tables there. Including one large party of people, celebrating a birthday maybe? The chips and salsa that came to the table were wonderful. We could tell the chips were homemade as was the salsa. I ordered the Tostada de Pollo, and my husband had the chicken tacos with a side of rice and beans. The Tostadas were very flavorful, perfectly crunchy and covered with tasty bits of including avacado and cheese. The Tacos, beans and rice were also very good. We look forward to returning. One thing, understandably, we were the only table speaking English. Our wait person had no problem talking with us and he did a great job, He was mostly alone in the 'front of the house' so he was running. Just to emphasis, don't be intimidated if your Spanish isn't very strong, the menu has English translations. One last thing- if you need reading glasses, make certain you have them with you... the menu is lovely, but a little tricky to read the text printed over the graphic.

It kinda seemed like someone put them in an oven to heat and then forgot about them. Which might be why we waited 45 minutes after ordering. Hubbo liked his choripollo fine but it wasn't his favorite. We did get PLENTY of chips (crispy!) and salsa (good spice level!) and drink refills. They have a good shared system for tasks like that. We also got queso with ground beef for the chips. That was pretty good. We would try it again because we're curious about the chimichangas.

Prices were very reasonable for portions. Service was prompt, efficient, and thoughtful. Highly recommend!

We stopped in tonight for my wife's birthday and most of what we got was pretty good. The case it was great enchiladas were fantastic as they always are. The rice and beans leave something to be desired but they always have so that wasn't a particular shock. Our server was okay though it would have been nice if she had been a little bit more on the up and up on getting us refills on our drinks she was still very friendly and got everything correct. When they found out it was my wife's birthday they brought us fried ice cream Sundae that was very good too. There's only one thing that was disappointing tonight and that is their burritos. We have ordered their à la carte burrito a dozen times maybe? It's always been fantastic fairly simple but fantastic. For a couple of extra bucks you could get enchilada sauce and cheese on it and we always really enjoyed it. We noticed when we got there that it was no longer on the menu and instead they had some pre-made burritos to choose from so we did get one of those and it was lower quality than what I would expect or maybe satisfied with then what I'd get at Taco Bell it was that bad. We did tell the waitress who was just kind of like yeah try the one that cost twice as much money lol. Not exactly helpful. Well the crappy short-changed burrito won't stop us from going again we definitely will not be ordering the burritos and I don't recommend you try them either.

My son loved his fajitas and they accommodated his celiac disease by providing corn tortillas. Now for the down side which I only feel is fair to warn others. Menu prices and prices on the check are not the same. It feels wrong. I took pics of both thankfully so you can see. Wait times were very long but we were there on a busy Saturday evening. My husband said his burrito had barely any chicken and was cold. We had the worst margaritas we've ever had. It tasted like salt and soap. I've had plenty of authentic margaritas and never have I had one this bad. My recommendation, for the menu price and experience- spend your well earned money elsewhere. Logistically, I made reservations Tuesday requesting a reservation for 11 with the need for 1 high chair. We arrive and they seat us at the only high table. My sister is trying to explain her 2 year old needs a high chair and can't sit in the chairs for the table. I ask the server what is going on as when i made reservations I asked for a high chair. He said it would be too short for the table. I asked for a different table and that's when he admitted he didn't have any high chairs available and had given them to other guests. Should have started there. I said my nephew can't sit at a high table in a regular chair so we will still take the other table which they accommodated. He's a rambunctious toddler and I was surprised they wanted to take the risk of him falling from a tall chair.
