Reviews for La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant in Chicago, IL
Ate dinner at La Fiesta and as usual it was delicious! Love there warm chips with salsa. Tried a margarita with sangria, it... was fantastic. Also, the service is still top notch, which is hard to find these days. Read more
Dined in with 3 others. Atmosphere is ok, and they definitely have enough seating for the amount of people who want to sit., so... no problem there. Food is on par for a Tex-next restaurant serving what is supposed to be ?authentic? Mexican food but really isserving a very Americanized version of Mexican cuisine. HOWEVER, the food, while on par for Tex-mex?is actually excellent fordoing so and excelling in such category. Don?t come here for an ?authentic? experience. Come here expecting Americanized Mexicancuisine. Finally, as for the check. It came out to $105 for 4 people whom all got entrees and all got at least 1 alcoholicdrink. And paying was a nightmare. They require you use these old, what seem to be out of date, digital receipts. When paying bycredit card, and needing to split the bill, there is absolutely no easy way to split it by seat # (as in who got what at seat 1and what do they own, plus tip and tax. They have a handy ?split evenly? across 4 seats. And even though there were 4 of us whoare all great friends, with inflation and one of the other people on the party drinking 3 drinks while we all each had one,became maddening. These credit card machines are new to me even though I?ve been going here for years. However the last time iswas there was in 2021 and they didn?t have these clunky credit card machines. SUGGESTION to La Fiesta: keep doing what yourdoing with the food, it is just as expected. But get rid of the credit card machines. It is NOT the patrons jobs to split thebill, and the figure tax AND swipe our own cards. This is why we tip the servers, to do these things for us..especially at 25%! Read more
We used to go to this place a lot but that was like 15 years ago and it was always delicious. But on 9.19.2022 we were... disappointed. The only thing we enjoyed were the chips they are fantastic and the salsa was pretty decent also. My wifeordered a regular Margarita but we had to send it back immediately... it was obviously missing ingredients probably Triple Secor sweet and sour mix because there was zero flavor or Sweetness in the drink the only thing that it tasted like was cheaptequila and lime juice. They replaced it with a raspberry margarita but that also had a chemical taste to it. Which is too badbecause this could be a really decent place to hang out at it is clean and in a good location and the prices are reasonable. The steak tacos we ordered were kind of bland. And unfortunately I suffered from heartburn all night long and into the nextmorning. Maybe it was just an off night for them. Hope they get back on their game because it would be really nice to have agood margarita place close to home. Read more
Watered down margaritas ???? Don't get me started on what they call salsa???? When asked for a milder salsa they brought us a... hot cup of enchilada sause...???????????? Fresh homemade chips were great, but if you can't get salsa or house margaritas rightwhy waste your money on anything else???????????? Read more
I'm going to be honest, I've been coming here since I was a little kid and this is my favorite Mexican restaurant. Over the past... couple years we have seen the prices go up. Which is completely understandable to a certain extent. When the prices go up andthe quality goes down that's where I draw the line. We ordered last weekend and the food was very bland. The tamales looked likethey got run over by a bus. What really was the worst part was of this take out experience was the salsa. They honestly used tohave the best. But this was the second time in a row that we ordered salsa and it was completely un-edible. It tasted sour andhonestly like an old shoe. You could tell it had been sitting for a couple days. The foods just not worth the price any longer.Every time we go there we feel as if we have to re mortgage the house just to pay the tab for 2 people. What a shame. Read more
