La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant

Very good HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The service was excellent. Great place very clean, all the staff was wonderful, will be coming back very soon!

So coming here is both memorable and heartwarming!! All of these dishes and recipes are My Familia's and have been stolen,adapted,adopted from the Original Creators "El Cortez Restaurant" in Blue Island on Olde Western Ave. My Aunt never trademarked ™ any of the recipes or dishes, every single one of these are Family members' names or references. Nonetheless, the food is Sensational and Delicious
Bringing back memories of My Grandma cooking and more.
The service from Danielle was Superb and she accommodated my party of people very well. We sat I'm the outside atrium which was very comfortable.
Obviously the signature chips n salsa was yummy and held us over until the main courses arrived. Ample drinks and great music too.
Real Mexican food and ALL Authentic homemade dishes makes this an exceptional experience!!
Thank's for taking care of us!!

Great margaritas, food has gone downhill drastically since I was last there a little over a year ago. I had a ground beef taco salad, zero taste to it.

Love the outdoor patio! It's my favorite. The food is def NOT authentic but still good. The margarita flight is my fav and the reason I love to return!

Great Salsa n chips ... best Shrimp tacos around ! Love the friendly and helpful staff too. This is a Must for authentic Mexican food choices ... Enjoy !

My sister and I went to La Fiesta just before 5 PM and it was perfect timing because within minutes there were lots of families arriving indoors and outdoors. My sister ordered the Enchiladas Suizas, which was a real disappointment. It was covered with red sauce that tasted like it came out of a jar of Hunt's tomato sauce, absolutely flavorless.

It's as if they put the enchiladas on a plate, poured the tomato sauce over it then put squares of cheese on top that were just barely warm, no bubbling, browning at all.

On the other hand, I ordered the Plato la Fiesta combo platter and my enchilada was good with a nice crust, melted cheese and flavor and everything else on the plate. She asked the server to exchange the Enchiladas Suizas for a taco. She kept the rice and beans. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, offering refills and checking on our table from time to time. I would go back again but it wouldn't be for the Enchiladas Suizas. The combo for sure.

I'm so done with this place. I supported them during the pandemic by ordering carry out. Tonight, I decided to dine outside.

I was seated in the "extended" patio which consists of several tables placed on uneven asphalt under a large tent. They have a small string of lights that barely illuminate the tent. Perhaps some strings patio lights? You know, to dress it up? No. Not at La Fiesta. Anyway, lack of patio decor aside, I knew it was going to be a bad visit when the hostess brought plastic utensils. Am I getting carry out? If it's so dangerous to bring me some metal utensils then you shouldn't be open. Again I digress.

Here's when I really knew my meal was going to be crap. The waiter arrived. This guy has been here at least 15 years and he has been terrible for at least the last 10. He has little interest in doing his job. Hey man, if you don't like your job go do something else.

He took the drink order and came back pretty quickly which surprised me. He then seemed perturbed that I wasn't ready to order. And why wasn't I ready? The hostess brought one menu for two people. What's that all about? More COVID nonsense? I told him I needed two minutes. He came back in 10. Really? Anyway, he took our order and left.

The food arrived fairly quickly. He dropped it off and left. What's the first thing you do as as waiter, waitress, runner, etc. upon dropping off food? You ask if they need anything else. Not this guy. He hightailed it out of there.

I finished a beer. The bottle sat empty for 15 minutes. Waiter never came back. I finished my meal. A few minutes of empty dishes and no drink passed. He magically appeared and asked if I wanted another beer. My response: "Not anymore." I asked for the check and that took him another 10 minutes. I should have walked out on the check.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the food. It was bland as always. Enchiladas tasted like a Chef Boyardee version. Steak tacos were flavorless.

I paid the bill and left the change for the horrible waiter who should have been fired 10 years ago. It amounted to $1.08. That's $1.08 too much.

I've been coming here for 30 or more years. It used to be good.

Never again.

Love this place, the staff are always friendly. Their food is always delicious and their margaritas are amazing.

It doesn't look that good when you first walk by. But once you get in the hostess up in the front are very nice. Please take it to your seat, and shortly after your waiter will come, the waiters are very nice my waitress her name is Jenny. She's very nice. She's also very helpful too. She tells you how everything is cooked. How much they cost and so on she's very nice she make some jokes, 10 out of 10 recommend I've been going there basically my whole life I know almost all the waitresses and the drinks at the bar are very good. They're homemade chips and salsa are the best, especially with the guac and their enchilada Suiza is the best. I also highly recommend the rice. The rice is so flavorful and just just delicious.

Service is okay, but the food is definitely different now! I don't know if they have new owners or reset on the menu, but I will definitely not come here anymore not good at all!!!
