Quality: Amazing; every dish that I ordered from here are consistently delicious and fresh. The complementary salsa bar is probably the highlight of the store too. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. Service: The service is efficient and I did not have a bad experience with any staff so far. Ambiance: The vibe and decor feels like an authentic Mexican restaurant. Everyone comes to eat and it's very comforting. Value for $$: The servings are bigger, more quality, but moreover less costly than Chipotle! And the free chips and salsa are the cherry on the cake. Overall experience: Great place to go if you're looking for a hearty Mexican meal. read more

Good breakfast burritos. They are massive and I'm not complaining at all, I appreciate it. I ordered the carnitas breakfast burrito and added bacon to it. It had beans, eggs, cheese, potatoes inside. My husband had the Fiesta breakfast burrito. Got it with chorizo and bacon, I saw it had rice eggs and potatoes sour cream guac cheese and salsa. He said he liked it. Prices are extremely reasonable. I'd come back to try their lunch and dinner items. read more

Used to love this place but the last 3 visits have been terrible. Went for breakfast burritos which were cold even after returning both of them. The foil was even cold like it wasn't freshly made. Service is unfriendly too. Fresh OJ served warm. 2 stars because the salsa bar is always good. read more

BIG fans of la fiesta alteña. my family and i have been coming here for years, and it just keeps getting better and better. i also couldn't believe i hadn't written a yelp review about this place; it's just too dang good. FOOD if your mouth isn't salivating over the pics drive yourself on down here during breakfast, lunch, or dinner & find out for yourself. it's always packed because it's always delicious. their salsa bar is always fantastic. make sure to get a salsa cup of beans (adjacent to the salsa bar) with a sprinkle of cheese, and send your taste buds into orbit. their *new* chips are absolutely fantastic -- the perfect vessels for salsa and beans! try anything, because it's all absolutely fantastic, fresh, and always flavorful. they also bust the food out quick, which is great when you have an empty belly. great options for kids and the pickiest of eaters! SERVICE one thing i love about this place is you feel like family. everyone is so kind, friendly, and welcoming. PARKING lots of parking -- if it's a busy day, there's an additional lot nearby! SEATING tons of inside and outside seating (with shade!). AMBIANCE catch your favorite futbol game on the TVs inside. there's also a beautiful mural painted on the wall of folsom when you walk in. the staff are great about cleaning the tables, and keeping the restaurant clean. will likely go back again later this week. we love supporting our favorite local spots -- especially when they check all the boxes! read more

Amazing and accommodating place! I love the Carne Asada Nachos and the Carne Asada Plate! So good! May I add that the Cantaloupe Agua Fresca is delicious without being too sweet? It's so flavorful and refreshing! My husband liked the Pineapple one too. This place is also fantastic for big groups, and I love how laid back it is. The service is quick, and the servers are incredibly helpful. The only thing I didn't like is the Horchata. It's pretty much a sugary cake in a drink. I've made a lot of Horchata at home, and although I didn't expect it to be homemade-level, I didn't enjoy the over-sweetened, flavorless drink. read more

Very popular local restaurant serving tasty Mexican food. The menu offers many traditional entries and combo plates. Included is a full salsa bar and chips. To my surprise the salsa bar offers hot refried beans to spoon on top of tortilla chips. This location also has a bar serving good Margaritas and beers. You order at the counter and the food is served at your table. The waiters and bus team are friendly. The space is large with both indoor and outside seating. I'd eat there again. read more

This is my favorite taqueria in Folsom. And seems to be for a lot of other folks as well. They draw a crowd. The food is delicious and the prices are taqueria priced. My faves are the seafood ceviche tostada, asada crispy taco, and menudo (served on the weekends). The seafood ceviche is a combination of octopus, shrimp, and fish. It tasted super fresh, clean,and bright. Plus had the perfect amount of cilantro, some places overload it in the ceviche. On my last visit, the ceviche was piled high onto the tostada. Beautiful sight . The crispy taco is always a good standby. Fresh fried taco shell. All the meats are seasoned and marinated well. Great flavors. The menudo is delicious and only served on the weekends. The complimentary chips and salsa bar are fantastic. The chips are fresh tasting. They are kept in an enclosed warmer. The salsa bar is quite impressive. Plentiful with various salsas. But no salsa verde. Plus do not sleep on the complimentary bean dip. It is in a warmer to the left of the salsa bar. That stuff is delish. Another cool thing about this place is that they have an outdoor patio with a good number of seats. Shade is provided by sun umbrellas with a smaller section in front under the building awning. read more

We popped in for a quick lunch while running errands and this place was surprisingly solid. Their al pastor burrito was great and I loved the refried bean dip they offered. It's harder for me to find tacos I enjoy, but my boyfriend liked the tacos here. Would definitely stop by again if in the area! read more

The food is a 6 out of 10, not bad but not great. The reason I won't go back is not because of the quality of the food, but because the service is not good. There is 1 employee with long black hair who smiles; everyone else looks miserable working there. They are not polite when you order don't say thank you or you're welcome. The ironic part is that when you go to eat in Mexico, the staff is outstanding no matter where you go. The moral of the story: stay in Mexico and be happy. Perplexing.... read more

The food was honestly the worst I've had the meat was already premade and room temp when it was brought out. The carnitas and asada was hard to chew. Just disappointing. All the staff had a RBF face not welcoming at all. read more

Wow I was searching for something to eat in this area. My mom and I come over here shopping quite a bit. We wanted to try something new when I found this place Now I have an even bigger reason to come over than HomeGoods. Lots of laughs. You really can't beat the lunch specials. When it cost you less than it does at McDonald's or Burger King and you get more food and healthier food you wonder how the fast food places stay in biz. My mom shrimp was awesome. It came with five flour tortillas, rice beans, and a salad. The chili Verde is tart and spicy pinto beans with a ton of amazing cheese and the enchiladas were awesome. They offered us a sample of the chili Verde, which I thought was a nice touch so that you really enjoy what you get. generous portions and one of the best parts of this restaurant is the incredible salsa bar which you can serve at your disposal along with fresh chips. We will be back read more

Food was great. Chimichanga was made well and balanced. Bar has chips and salsa to take. Good place to come again.

I had never been to this location and thought it was a real dining restaurant. We tried to take my in-laws to dinner in Old Folsom, but it was packed and had no parking on a Thursday night. We were absolutely starving and they wanted Mexican food. We asked Waze for a restaurant and ended up here. The food was delicious, well portioned, and a good price. They were very busy at 7 pm on a weekday, and we grabbed the last outdoor table near the front door. Though it wasn't the traditional dinner outing we had planned, we couldn't have been happier with the service and the food. The tables were clean and it worked out beautifully. I had a super quesadilla, my husband had a torta, and the in-laws had fish tacos. We will definitely be back. read more

We stopped by this restaurant on our way to see my daughter this morning. We wanted Breakfast Burritos. We ordered 3 different types. I had the Breakfast Burrito with Eggs, Ham, Beans, Potatoes, cheese and salsa. The other 2 were a Chorizo instead of Ham and the last one was Shredded Pork (Carnitas) with all the previously mentioned items. They burritos were very nice sized, so be hungry or eat 1/2 and save the other half for later or split with a friend. They have a Salsa Bar to get the condiments you need. The lady who helped us was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean along with the bathrooms. I would recommend going there for good burritos and my daughter said their other selections are good also. The person who helped us was friendly and helpful. read more

Giant margaritas and delicious food for a great price!! Quick service too. Definitely check it out for a casual, quick meal in Folsom

La Fiesta Alteña, easily one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in the Folsom area. The food is excellent just like the service. The variety of dishes, from tacos to seafood, and everything in between, are delicious. Eddie and the staff really make us feel welcome. Just like home. A very family friendly place. read more

My takeout carnitas burrito was well presented with a small paper bag, aluminum foil wrap, and order details sticker. For its size, it was a weighty burrito. And the tortilla was wrapped well. However, the burrito was lacking flavor. It was bland, and the Pico de Gallo in it was too tart or sour. Considering portion, the burrito was made of 2/3 meat, and 1/6 each of rice and Pico de Gallo with some pinto beans in the mix. I'd like more rice and less Pico. I also had a side of extra Pico, bean dip, and salsa. The Pico worked well with their tortilla chips. The salsa had a slight chipotle flavor, but also seemed sour or tart. In addition, the bean dip was bland. read more

We used to eat here pretty often. My kids love this place, I love this place the food is so delicious. Until few months ago my mother in law as usual went to pick up dinner and brought it home. As she began to have dinner she put rice in her mouth and she felt a hard something and chipped her tooth. As she spit out to look, it was a cough drop. How disgusting is this. She is pretty elderly, I was so upset when she told me. We than called the restaurant to notify them that someone must have dropped their cough drop in the rice. The cashier lady starts questioning her as she made it all up. Pretty disappointing. When she sees my mil going into their establishment once a week at least. Anyways, management got involved and they took care of her chipped tooth payment to the dentist. But I refuse to eat there anymore. This place even has outdoor sitting and it's really nice. Too bad I will never eat here again! read more

The carne asada jumbo burrito is good and so is the carnitas burrito it has a good flavor. The Sinola salsa was yummy. This place has really redeemed themselves for me. I ate here and caught them on a bad day but I will say I have ate here a few times now and I understand why it's easily one of the most busiest Mexican Taqueria in Folsom. The ambiance is lively and they also have some fun looking big margaritas they serve. Good taqueria. It is now my go to taqueria when I was some solid Mexican food in Folsom. read more

Stopped here for a chorizo breakfast burrito and it was as bland and tasteless as can be. What a waste. I also sampled their menudo and not only was it terribly under cooked, the broth had zero flavor. Very disappointed with La Fiesta Alteña in Folsom. Friends don't let friends eat bad Mexico Food. The young lady that took our order was robotic and not as helpful as she could have been - she never even cracked a smile. But the ambiance was ok and you can have all the hard chips and drinks that you want. Next stop - probably Taco Bell as their food is likely better. read more

When eating my rice and beans I had found a small brown hair in my food. Once bringing this up to the server, she was quick to say that it was a piece of plastic from a plastic utensil, which is black in color. Regardless, I don't know how a business can feel prideful behind serving anything in a dish that is not edible food. The server walked away as I was in the middle of explaining why it was a hair (hair stretches when it is wet and it had a split end) and brought out the manager. My interaction with the manager went the same way as he had the same argument as the waitress. He was passive aggressive when he walked away to bring me another plate of rice and beans. This could have been a simple interaction with an apology and replacement of the meal I paid for but it was a lot of effort on my end for them to take accountability It's just rice and beans... please work on customer service. And hygiene. read more

Not the friendliest people working at the front counter, the guy cleaning the tables was nice. The food is reasonably priced and they serve a ton of good food though. Ordered one taco and it was already a lot of food. They have some really tasty salsas and freshly made chips as well. read more

Woohoo the best Mexican joint in Folsom. Whenever, someone visits, I will take them here. On weekdays they have lunch specials. I always get the carnitas plate - extra well done for their meat and sub the veggies in for extra rice. My friends order the burritos and would always have enough to bring home I also order a side of flan. The chips are insanely good! On my lazy days I DoorDash La Fiesta for brunch and it still hits the spot so well. If you're in town, you gotta try this place . Super authentic and affordable!

There is no doubt, La Fiesta Taqueria has the BEST MEXICAN FOOD in Sacramento County.. The food is SO authentic, just the way my family used to cook.

I use to really love this place but things have changed in the last eight or nine months. The food doesn't quite taste like it use to, also they've now messed up 2 orders. I'm not going to be going here as often as I use to. Maybe they've changed product and meat. One other thing it's very strange but the salsa, the mild and the one I believe it's like an avocado based salsa the green one, it is also mild but is now hotter. It's almost like sometimes they mix or accidentally maybe put some of the spicier salsa into the mild. read more

The restaurant is located on the corner of a large shopping center that includes a mall and sever outer business buildings and restaurants. The restaurant is very bright with lots of windows. You order, are given a number, get your condiments and drink and find a seat. Your order is delivered to you. There is a patio with lots of seating as well. I visited during lunch and it was quite busy, but everyone seems to be getting served in a timely matter and tables are cleaned swiftly. The staff were friendly and efficient - keeping the tables clean debris removed. There is a daily list of lunch specials served from 11-2 and a limited beer, wine, and Margarita offering for those so inclined. They fed my number one pet peeve: serving a "crispy" taco laid on hot beans and rice, thereby rendering the taco less crispy on one side, thus allowing the insides to break through the shell! I was able to salvage the taco before it got too soggy. I ordered my taco with cabeza- meat from the head of the cow. It was tender and flavorful with some of the gristle attached, which I very much enjoyed. There are a number of meat options from which you can choose, in addition to the standard beef and chicken. That was a real plus fr me. Lettuce, sour cream, tomato, and guacamole topped the taco and completed a delicious bite! A sign noted that the refried beans are cooked with chorizo. That added a bit of unwelcome salt for me, but they were tasty.The cheese enchilada in red sauce and the rice were pretty standard for most Mexican restaurants. The portions were quite ample and while I came in hungry, I walked out quite full and unable to eat everything. What was left was not quite enough for a "doggy bag", it was a bit more than I like to leave. As I looked at my check, it appears that the cabeza meat came with an added cost of $1.95. I was not aware of the upcharge. I probably did not pay attention on the menu. All in all, I think this was a good find in Folsom and would have no problem returning whenever I'm in the neighborhood and want a Mexican meal. read more
