We met here for a birthday celebration. 7 adults. Food was fast getting to us, food was hot and everyone enjoyed their plate. Service was great, he asked several times if everything was ok or if needed something. It wasn't crowded. Nice and quiet. We got to wear the birthday hat and free ice cream treat. We usually go once a year here and will be back. read more

La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant - Chimichanga with Prickly Pear margarita - Mexican Near Me - Benton, Illinois

Frequent visitor. I'd say this restaurant is the most popular in Benton. Great service and food. I've personally never had a bad experience here, and I've been here well over 50x read more

The food was ok. Not the best I've ever had. The fresh quac was worth every penny. Do NOT order the top shelf picture of margarita unless you are prepared to pay 79.99 for it. Absolutely ridiculous pricing and not good enough to warrant that price. I've had towers at half that price 10x better read more

What is up with that weird white cheese sauce. Everything was either over or undercooked. Good for margaritas... and that's about it. read more

Really not good food. It was without a doubt some of the blandest Mexican food I have ever had.

Love southwestern foods when I traveled. For local cuisine of Mexican food, this is the best around. Great service, the owner actually greets customers and chats with them. The restaurant is always clean. read more

With a name like "La Fiesta" restaurant, I expected a lot more... The salsa tasted like straight tomato sauce...zero flavor. My chimichanga with steak was chewy and had no taste...the chicken lacked spice...blah. Very disappointing...will not be going back there. Ever. read more

I really enjoy eating here, The food is always good and hot. The service is fast and the waiters always come by you table to make sure everything is alright. I typically get Mexican food with beef, and here you can actually tell its real beef unlike a few other places in the area. Overall, I would really recommend this location if you are wanting Mexican food! read more

Came here a few years ago and the food was really good, on this visit it was pretty bland, the chicken tasted boiled, and had no real flavor, even the side items lacked a lot. Service was quick and attentive but that was about the best part of the visit, probably won't be coming back!!! read more

I don't like to give bad reviews. Who likes plunking down cash for mediocrity? So, first off, the food here wasn't bad or inedible. In fact, the refried beans and Spanish rice were actually OK. I ordered a chimichanga for my entree which is a pretty safe choice I thought. The flour tortilla was appropriately deep fried and filled with chunks of beef, not hamburger. The flavor was terribly bland. Tex- Mex food need not be hot but one expects it to be seasoned with chiles, cumin and other appropriate spices. This meat was barely flavored with salt. Perhaps the meal might have been salvaged with appropriate hot sauces but none were on the table and the waiter never returned to check on me after serving the meal. Though in this respect the service was unprofessional but very friendly. It is possible that this restaurant serves bland food on purpose. This is what their customers want, perhaps. But if you are seeking interesting food, I would give this place a hard pass. read more

We have been looking for our favorite Mexican place for over a year & we just found this place & have eaten here 4x now & it is definitely by far the favorite! Excellent salsa & great food! Love Sundays when you get a free kids meal! Highly recommend it! read more

Probably THE BEST Mexican food I have ever had. I live over two hours away and I will most definitely be coming back!!

Going down there on a fishing trip from Chicago, I did not expect this place to be as good as some of the Mexican food here in Chicago. Man, was I surprised. The Steak tacos and enchiladas supremas were very good. Place has a lot of room and a pretty good staff. read more

Great little place tucked away just off the Hwy. Food was authentic and service superb. My husband ordered Fajitas minus the tomato. When they brought our dinner his Fajitas had tomatoes in it. Authentic Mexican Fajitas can be bland and he noticed that's what they looked like. Our server came, saw tomatoes, and tried to take the dinner back. We said we would keep it to go and my husband ordered Carne Asada (which he said had a great flavor!). They use a leaf lettuce instead of iceberg also which is a fantastic touch. Our bill came and they took the Fajitas OFF even though we took that dinner home. We would definitely return. read more

The employees go above and beyond to make sure their customers are extremely satisfied! Arturo, who I believe is the manager always makes sure my orders are correct and goes the extra mile to truly make sure his customers leave without complaints. They truly treat you as family not just just a pay check! Thank you for always taking care of me and my family read more
