One of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in the Marion area. I stop here every time I visit Marion, and I always leave with a smile. Their fajitas are fantastic. Their sauces clearly are home made. And, most importantly, the flavors remind me of my childhood in Mexico. Overall, it was good Mexican food. Solid. Flavorful. It is not entirely what I would call true Mexican food. There were some TexMex elements in their food, but overall the flavors were what I would expect from good Mexican food. The last time I visited, they were upgrading their locale, so there was a bit of construction happening. I cannot wait to visit again in 2026. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to Marion! read more

Our first time there since they moved to the new location. Food and service are still fantastic. Now the new restaurant is so nice! We won't wait so long to visit again. Both had combination dinners and so much food we could not eat it all. THE BEST SALSA!! read more

Our favorite Mexican! Great food, great service, and the new location is beautiful. We love La Fiesta!

Went after work. Margaritas were amazing! Had the chimichanga with steak. Staff had masks on and service was amazing.

The service is always very good here. The new location they built is very nice inside. I usually have a good experience eating here. The guisado ranchero and the carnita fiesta tacos are both good. However, last night I ate the beef tongue tacos and am currently having some of the most consistent stomach issues of my life. Every hour on the hour I have diarrhea. I love this place but don't know if I'll be going be back for some time. read more

Great food and service! My favorite Mexican place in Marion. 10/10 - Highly recommend!

My husband and I have been coming to La Fiesta in Marion ever since we moved to Marion in 2008. Without exception, every single meal we have ever had has been consistently VERY good. The service is extremely friendly, the restaurant is clean and pleasant, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not forget to order dessert - HANDS DOWN the absolute best dessert at any Mexican restaurant we have ever been to (and we LOVE Mexican) ... read more

Reasonable prices, great food, nice ambiance and attentive service. Stopped here on a trip from mn to ga and I'm sad we won't b able to eat there again soon. read more

Oh my gosh! It was fresh and delicious with the perfect combination Pescado al Horno! Fresh fish, nice big shrimp and best at all they incorporated vegetables, spinach, mushrooms, perfect! I highly recommended this restaurant, La Fiesta! The food you can tell is homemade, wonderful! Thank you and continue doing the same thing please, I will come back :-), read more

LOVE this place! I always choose La Fiesta over Tequilas. I've gone to both places, ordered exactly the same thing, and La Fiesta comes out on top! We've had to settle for Tequilas when out with a group, but we always make sure to tell them "Next time, go to La Fiesta!" read more

Stopped in Marion on our road trip and went to the nearest Mexican..We stopped out Tequila's but back off after it looked like a warehouse... The food was really good and reasonably priced and they were more traditional than the Americanized Mexican restaurants...The service was decent..Would go there if I ever stopped at Marion again read more

Off the beaten path, in the shopping center across from where the movie theater used to be, is a hidden gem for Mexican delights. Good salsa, puréed not al natural, but pairs with what seem like homemade tortilla chips. The food was good and so was the service. It's just out of the way enough to be able to not be crowded, yet good enough to have a decent crowd. read more

This place has wonderful food, however waiter we have had twice charges for a lot of extra things when the meal/ taco should come with enough meat or cheese to not have to ask if there is any even on there? They refused to comp a cup of cheese he brought for 1.99$ for a taco that was supposed to have cheese on it! A taco is only 1.75$ lol so if you want 4 dollar tacos and extremely rude service here's your place.. read more

Service and food were great not much to complain there, my only problem I experienced was that there was a fly in my drink..

Best food I probably have ever had ! I'm from out of state and I told my husband when we come to visit his family again this is where we will be going to eat from now on it was that good ! read more

Good food and more importantly GREAT customer service! We are visiting from out of town and they were wonderful! Thank you!

The worst fake Mexican food I've ever tried the service was terrible my waiter didn't even know the food they served and did not attend me properly the food had no flavor I would not recommend anyone to eat at this establishment read more

This is our first visit here. The service is questionable as we had one very disinterested server and one very attentive server come to our table. There isnt much atmosphere but The food was very good. I had the shrimp cocktail which had huge, Hugh quality shrimp and fresh avocado, onions and cilantro. My boyfriend got a giant burrito and he said it was excellent- exactly what he wanted. We are willing to try it again if we are in the area. read more

Good Mexican food and plenty of it. Reasonably priced. They make great margaritas and daiquiris, so splurge and have a drink or two. Flan for dessert is yummy (and authentic)...save room! There are a few Mexican restaurants in the area. This is my favorite of the lot. read more

Service was great, Salomon was my waiter. The food was great. The chips fresh and warm. Authentic Mexican food. This place has grown since 1996 and for good reason. Julio the owner greeted me and I felt as if we were among friends. Southern Illinois best and cleanest Mexican restaurant. read more

I liked it... service was good, food decent and priced just right, but they need to offer corn tortillas. I'm not a fan of flour ones!

Couldn't disagree more with the reviews posted........came into this dump the day after Thanksgiving because my out of town guests wanted Mexican....big mistake.......very bland taste, pricey for what you get (don't forget, Mexican food is very cheap to prepare), and my waiter was a fat, rude Mexican Paco....if I was by myself, I would have gotten up and walked out when he said something a waiter should never say. to a paying guest....BTW, it needs a major remodel. Stay away! read more

The best chili poblano I've ever had. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Don't curb appraise this place. Very good Mexican food. We liked the chili poblano so much that we ordered six more to go. The refried beans are legit. Melt in your mouth. read more

The food is amazing one of the best Mexican restaurants around but I'm giving this place 2 stars bcuz i went there tonight and noticed one of the waiters being inappropriate to a woman, this man has done that a few more times before that but me and my husband will definitely not becoming here anymore because I don't know if I can hold my tongue anymore. It's ashame really. So ladies, keep your guard up no hugs and don't let them out their arms around you cuz it seems like that's what invites that particular guy to do whatever he wants to girls... be aware!!!!!! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Marion; great service and friendly staff with tons of great food and variety. Ask for their hot salsa if you enjoy flavorful spicy food; it's really good. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant ever. Nothing beats La Fiesta. I know the owners, and they are wonderful people, they staff is amazing and are the most amazing people ever! I love the chicken and cheese quesadilla. And one if their most famous meals is the chicken cancun. It's chicken on a bed of rice covered in cheese sauce. It's AMAZING and I get it every time. Overall a great atmosphere, wonderful people, and great food! read more
