Craving Mexican food while in Portland one evening, I decided to make the journey a bit up north to Vancouver, WA to give La Fiesta On Main a try and I'll admit, while it wasn't quite hitting my expectations overall, I was still left satisfied.
These guys have a cool atmosphere, that's for sure! These second you walk in, you'll love the spacious and simply modern ambiance inside. The service was decent and we were greeted very nicely and promptly right after walking in which was nice.
Now, the food itself claims to be completely made out of fresh or organic ingredients which means the pricing will be reflected. It wasn't the cheapest option around the area and almost similar to prices down in California. At $20+ you'd also expect the food to taste great too but I honestly thought my chicken enchilada was mediocre and alright, nothing amazing. My mom did enjoy her veggie enchiladas a lot more however. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the great Mexican food I get in Southern California but it didn't quite hit the spot in terms of taste. The flavors and portions were average or slightly above if I'll be honest. They don't even serve complimentary salsa and chips which was a total bummer for me! Like c'mon, I found that a bit unreasonable especially for the location.
All in all, don't be completely dissuaded by my views as I truly consider myself a bit more spoiled with the awesome Mexican food I'm constantly around in Southern California. If the prices would be a bit more reasonable for what this restaurant offered, I would be more inclined to come back. Also, lastly, considering it's located within downtown Vancouver, WA, it's a bit tough to park on the weekends so please be weary! read more
