We visited F.A. not too long after it first opened. My wife and I were very disappointed by the quality of the food and the general atmosphere of the place. But honestly, the food is why you normally go to a restaurant, and we just found the selection and taste to be sub-par. And no, this isn't a promo for Front Street, as I don't find their food to be all that great either. I would say F.A. is worth a try, but don't have your hopes up.

We love eating at Fiesta Mexicana. We live north of town and only get there every so often, but it's always a treat when we do. We've never had a bad meal there, and the cheese is the best. We've always had great service there as well. We've eaten on the patio and in the bar. It's always been fast service - for drinks and food. It's also very affordable to eat or drink. All in all I definately recommend this restaurant!
I go here for lunch quite frequently. I've tried at least 20 items on the menu and have enjoyed all of them!
The service is always on the spot. I would recommend highly.
I disagree with Kevin - my family and I will frequent Fiesta Mexicana over Front Street Canteatit ANYDAY. We ate there tonight, in fact, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The carne de asada tacos were fresh and the steak was plentiful. The kids meals were a little light, but they're kids' meals. Our waitress was definitely on top of things, and although she had a heavy accent, we could all understand her. We all received exactly what we ordered and our food was the perfect temperature.
When we received our check there were no surprises and again, we were pleasantly surprised. We went there with 2 adults and 5 kids and our total was $48.
We will definitely be going back again!
The food is fast and plentiful, good price and Great location.
I recommended the Carnitas, The fish tacos and the Super Fiesta Fajitas for two.

"Entering this restaurant, you'll feel like you have just gone over to a good friends house for a cozy dinner."
We entered to be seated at a round table near the bar with a vinyl tablecloth. Although there were only 3 or 4 other tables occupied, I immediately noticed our table had not been wiped down & had to ask for someone to do so. Then, the waitress arrived. No hablas ingles, really? A little too authentic for me if I cant communicate my order, she was clueless. As a result, 2 of 4 orders had to be sent back (tacos con pescado). But, the WORST offense I have ever seen in a Mexican restaurant (or any other) occurred when I witnessed the bartender tip up a 1.5 ltr bottled Cuervo margarita to pour our drinks! U know that bottled, pre-mixed sh%! they call a margarita that you can buy @ Jewel? That's what they serve at this place! Nuf said. This property has been cursed since the long time proprietor left in 2006? I give this psuedo mexican joint 6 more months, just wonder will come next. Go to FRONT STREET a few blocks away if u want a proper meal & a decent drink de Mexico.


Soooo good! I am a fan! Food is very authentic and drinks are strong.
I would recommend trying a mix of everything on the menu so you get a true experience--quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, etc Plus it's some of the best damn salsa you'll ever have.
