I don't know why most of my recent restaurant reviews seem to be about Mexican food. I eat out all…read morethe time--I just happen to have stumbled across some truly outstanding Mexican restaurants lately. Maybe it's because I live on Martha's Vineyard, and while the Island has plenty of great places to eat, authentic Mexican cuisine is hard to find. Sorry, JB, but there's really no authentic Mexican food on the Vineyard. Fiesta Mexican in Norton is an amazingly well-hidden gem. From the outside, sitting in a strip mall, you might assume it's just another typical Mexican restaurant. It's not. The restaurant is much larger than it appears, has an impressive atmosphere, and boasts what seems like hundreds of tequilas behind the bar. Even at 1:30 in the afternoon, there was a strong lunch crowd, which is always a good sign. The staff was excellent. Jake, the bartender, was a breath of fresh air--friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about every tequila on the shelf. My friends always laugh at me because when I visit fine dining restaurants, I often order something simple, like baked chicken. My reasoning is that baked chicken is the blank canvas of a chef. If a chef can't make something basic taste great, I don't have much confidence in the rest of the menu. That's exactly how I feel about tacos. Whenever I walk into a Mexican restaurant, I start with tacos--hard shell, soft shell, chicken, beef, steak, it doesn't matter. If a restaurant can't get the basics right, I don't expect much from the rest of the menu. But if the tacos are excellent, then I know I'll be back to explore everything else. Fiesta passed that test with flying colors. This is an outstanding Mexican restaurant tucked away in Norton, and if you haven't been there yet, you should put it on your list. The critic in me does have one small suggestion: the music was a little loud for lunchtime. The playlist was good, but the vibe felt more nightclub than midday lunch crowd. At 7:00 or 8:00 PM, I'd say turn it up and let the fiesta roll. But at 1:00 in the afternoon, I'd prefer something a little more mellow so the food and conversation remain the stars of the show. That minor observation aside, I honestly struggled to find anything else to critique. We'll definitely find an excuse to come back to Fiesta Mexican. With an incredible tequila selection, plenty of TVs, great service, and excellent food, this may just be a Mexican sports bar at its finest.

Our friend recommended this local spot and I'm so glad they did. First off, their chips & salsa are…read moreso addictingly delicious! Those fresh, warm chips & zesty salsa are no joke. The staff were attentive and more than happy to bring out more chips when we finished the first plate. They were very nice folks. I would say their menu is pretty vast, but you really cant go wrong with the basics. I ended up getting their Arrera de Campo, and wow. I wasn't expecting the portions to be so generous. One entree can easily feed 2-3 people. Overall, it tasted like a 4/5. The steak and side cheese quesadillas were very filling & delicious! It really didn't need the additional oiliness from the refried beans. But overall, a solid dish. Would definitely recommend checking out Mezquite if you're in the area.

Waitress was ok but a little slow,I think she was tending too many tables. Ordered a non-alcohol cocktail, this one is on me, I never find them to be very good. This was overly sweet fruit punch. Had to pay $10 for chips and salsa, the salsa was good but the chips were mostly broken pieces. I asked for a replacement bowl and was charged another $8. Ordered a Diablo Chimichanga, I was warned that it was very spicy. The chimichanga I got was inedible. First it had a doughy coating not a crispy shell, second the spices overpowered everything. I couldn't taste the meat or cheese or anything else. Just awful and I usually like spicy food. Will not be returning here.

The welcoming hosts and upbeat servers keep the energy high, while the menu offers something for everyone-from bowls, burgers, tacos, and pizza to shareable appetizers. The buffalo chicken dip was a crowd-pleaser, but the crispy chicken tacos stole the show, piled high with fresh, flavorful toppings. The Cape Cod Reuben was less successful, with soft textures that blended together despite the toasted bread. The fried pickles were fairly standard, though the dipping sauce added a nice kick. The hamburger was average, but the fries were perfectly fried and toasty. Bright, inviting, and buzzing with fans and families, it's an easy choice for a casual meal in Foxborough.

Little did we know, due to it being an event day, the menu becomes more limited to handle the influx of people. We originally intended to get the Margherita half sheet but as that was not available, we chose to try out the 'Ono. For how many people were around Patriot Place, there wasn't that many dining in at Citizen Crust when we got there. We were seated immediately though, so that's nice. I liked the vibe of everything, and maybe I would like this place more without everything else going on, but once the pizza came out... I don't know. Our pizza wasn't cooked consistently. One side is very clearly more cooked than the other, which was pretty doughy in comparison. The 'Ono iteself was a bit too sweet for us. I don't mind pineapple on pizza, but with this really sweet bbq sauce? Not super great. Nothing else came through besides the sauce. Cutting pizza with scissors was a new experience. I liked that I can do so because I can get the slice and size I want. For the half sheet, it was filling for 3 people, but none of us were really fans of the pizza, so not as much appetite.

We had to get up and find dishes ourselves. Our server rarely checked on us. We had to flag him down for both bread and drinks, and when the bread finally arrived, there was no oil. After asking for the bill, the server walked past our table five times before finally returning with it on the sixth pass. To make matters worse, the pizza was warm at best. We're not sure whether only part of our order was prepared and the rest sat waiting, or whether our food may have been someone else's order that was brought back out rather than discarded. Overall, the service was inattentive, the food temperature was disappointing, and the experience was not what we expected. Unfortunately, we won't be rushing back.
