"David was the worse server I ever had"
"I am not known for my positive reviews, so 4 stars means something from me"
"Was really disappointed with my purchase"
"Let me start off by saying that this was my first time here"
"Went there for a graduation celebration with the family"
David was the worse server I ever had. He came to the table and didn’t introduce himself by name, he didn’t welcome us to the restaurant (which it was our first time) (our as in my mom, my brother, and myself). When he came to the table, he said “what do you want?” It was a little easy to get over because I thought it was a language barrier. As the conversation progressed, turns out he understood everything. The salsa was amazing. I ordered Diablo shrimp along with my mom, the bacon wasn’t to my expectations, lacking flavor, if anything spoiled. The beans were good. The margarita was also not to my expectations. My favorite place to get a margarita is Cyclone Anaya’s or Torchys due to flavor and quality of liquor… and service. My mom wanted to try this restaurant because it is close to our house. She was very disappointed. Especially when her beans spilled on her leg and the server David laughed. He barely checked up on us. Veronica was very nice. The ideal customer service representative. She could relate with us about David’s service.

I am not known for my positive reviews, so 4 stars means something from me. We had a large party which they graciously accommodated. Service was good throughout the meal. Food arrived in a reasonable time after orders were placed, which was impressive for as large a party as we had. Only flaw was that someone else received my meal (and started to eat it), so my meal had to be remade and was brought out after people were well into their meals. Chips were above average. I liked the thick crispy chips. Salsas were very good. Red salsa tasted fresh and was actually spicy (which I almost never find to be the case). Green salsa was a nice milder companion. Steak a la Mexicana tasted great, and was of reasonable price and portion. Rice and beans were okay but could have used a little more flavor/spice. I would suggest a bit of white cheese on the beans. Children's plates were of reasonable size and quality for the price. La Fiesta was one of my better dining experiences in some time
Was really disappointed with my purchase. If your going to order from this place prices are different and they will charge you more because they changed prices and haven’t fixed them on the online website and will not honor the old prices online ! Im coming from out of town and did carry out and was charged more and they didn’t even apologize for the misunderstanding. Ordered enchiladas with the intentions of thinking I was going to get queso blanco on them and instead got nasty sandwhich cheese melted on top truly disgusting could of saved me 30$ and made a whole dozen homemade not to mention everything tasted old like it wasn’t freshly made ! Just check your food before you leave and ask for prices when you call they don’t have proper Etiquette to be professional enough to give the total after the conversation or at least ask what kind of enchiladas would you like I just based mines off the image they promote online!
Let me start off by saying that this was my first time here... We had a short wait to be seated but nothing big. Once we were seated someone came immediately for our drink order and those came quickly along with chips and salsa. Waiter was by shortly after that to take our order, he was extremely friendly and nice. Food came fairly fast, maybe 10 mins or so, was hot, correct and look good. Everything tasted pretty good, I got the chicken fajita tacos al carbon but they could've been seasoned a little better, spanish rice & beans were fine as those usually taste the same across the board no matter where you go, lol Overall, the food all was good, restroom was clean and the atmosphere was friendly & inviting so I'd return again to try something else next time I'm in the area for lunch!
Went there for a graduation celebration with the family. Had a little of everything. Food was a 4.5 Service was 5 so I round up to a 5 star. My food was great but my sister had the shrimp and said it wasn’t that good ( but seafood is not in the name so wouldn’t have expected it to be) We had a large group and everyone slowly trickled in but they seated before the whole group got there. The server would check on us each time someone joined us and kept or chips and salsa full. Salsa was mild very small amount of heat I would have enjoyed something hotter. But I did finish my meal and had a lot to take home. I want to leave room for dessert.

This place is a great local Mexican restaurant. Excellent value for your $$. Excellent enchiladas and tacos. I usually get the Diablo shrimp, bacon wrapped with a jalapeño, which is always fantastic. This last trip wife and I decided to try their fajitas for 2, split chicken and beef since we never had. They were excellent and we were able to add 3 of those shrimp and the bill with 2 large frozen margaritas and quest appetizer was $66. That's about 10 less then the average on our fajita tour of Houston. Great friendly wait staff, never a wait and quick service makes this a hidden gem. In addition their kids version have met with the approval of a seven year old since he was old enough to eat it.
This place is AMAZING!!!! I am a Mexican food connoisseur. I've eaten at the best Mexican places all over the greater Houston area. Paid $5 a plate upwards to $30 a plate at various places. Here, it's about $10-$15 a person. I think this might be the absolute BEST Mexican food I have EVER had!! (In a restaurant of course, not homemade. Lol!) The portions are VERY generous. Real Pico de Gallo. Not the white people Pico. Like spicy Pico. Put some Pico in your queso, oh LORD!!! SOOOO GOOD!!!! You HAVE to try this place. I've NEVER given a review this intently. Enjoy!!! You won't be sorry!!!!!!

Use to go here five years ago and decided to go and eat dinner with my family unfortunately it was a very disappointing visit food wasn’t all that great it was cold customer service was terrible that’s an understatement they roll their eyes on a constant walked away as we were ordering and not just the waiter but the cashier as well I firmly Believe that it’s hard work to make your money just so you can contribute to small businesses that don’t have any respect for the customers that help their business. With that being said I will not be returning to this restaurant and hope that nobody would have to experience this type of customer service as My family and I did.
Very disappointing. Long time customer both dining in and GrubHub. Last 2 fajita orders did not include sour cream and cheese. I reported shortage on first order to GrubHub not wanting a refund. I wanted feedback to be provided to la fiesta staff. Less than one week later, poor quality control in order review. This time I’ve come to Google, hoping the message gets through to the restaurant. After the tip, the driver delivery taxes and service charge, $20 fajitas cost almost $40 so this now will deter me patronizing this restaurant again.

I live closest to this location and have been here a few times. The food is good, but the customer service is horrible. Anytime I've ordered here, when the hostess Veronica is working, she always has an attitude and rude. I'm not sure if she don't like her job or just flat out racist. The other employees who work in the front when she's not there are very pleasant. I've visit the other location and they're always kind and courteous. So instead of spending my money and get bad service, I'll drive a little further or go somewhere else where I can get the service I deserve.

I don't like to seem as if someone is being racist but I had to keep asking for things I shouldn't of had to keep asking for (napkins straw water etc) When the other race was in need of something I notice how they ran over to them versus me being the only black person in the restaurant I had to keep asking and still kept getting forgot about.

I had a plate that came with a flauta, a chalupa, and a taco al carbon, with sides of refried beans and rice. The chili gravy on the chalupa was different but it was very tasty. The flauta had a red sauce over top that also made it very tasty and it was larger than expected. The taco al carbon was really good. The service was excellent. The servers were attentive but not overly. We have visited La Fiesta a few times now and it is becoming a favorite. Thank you.

Everyone is really good here and the food is great. I give it less stars only because the lady on the front desk is not friendly at all and always has an attitude. She treated people that I recommend with an ugly attitude, and I was there 15 mins before closing to only get a drink and the door was closed. I asked through the door and again she answered me with an attitude. Her attitude is not good for a nice place like this. Other than her, I would give it 5 stars.

I've been coming here for a number of years. It is pretty much perfect Tex Mex. There are lots of other Mexican restaurants I like and frequent in the area too, but this is by far the best Tex-Mex. They do have some more traditional (Mexico style) plates, but it is mostly Tex Mex. I've tried nearly everything on the menu at some point, and have never been disappointed. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is always friendly. The atmosphere is very casual and it is a good place to bring a group with kids.
Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying for 2 hours. We sat at the bar, but after smelling the food for about 10 minutes, we decided to order a variety. Beef fajita questions flameado what amazing and beef extremely tender. Got beef fajitas and and order of beef fajita enchiladas with charro beans. Washed our food down with a few margaritas and shots. Bartender was extremely nice and did not make us feel rushed. Overall experience was good, and wouldn't mind stopping in again when in that area.
Got turned around by wrong address on GPS. Stopped for a break and directions and relaxed over a margarita pitcher and queso fundido. LoL Some of the best queso I've had and lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Beautiful, clean restaurant and restrooms. Will definitely come back on purpose!

This has become one of our local favorite places to eat! Authentic Mexican food. Delicious fresh ingredients, great music and relaxed vibe. The drinks are Amazing! Try the Mango Frozen Margarita - my personal fave! The staff are all very friendly and accommodating - but one wait staff in particular, David, is a superstar! If you are lucky to have him serve you, David will make you feel like family! If you are in the area - stop in. You will not be disappointed!
Went to dinner with family with a gift card we got as a gift. Evidently they use different gift cards for the 2 locations. Instead of letting us know they charged my credit card and brought me the reciept to sign rather then taking the extra few minutes to let us know and make sure I wanted the full amount of charged on the credit card.would of been nice if they explained rather then just setting the receipt to sign with gift card in it and walking away!
Me and my husband were looking for a new place to eat and mexican is my favorite so we decided to try La fiesta and it was AMAZING! the salsa was spicy and perfect and their enchiladas were everything. I didn't get my waitresses name but she was super sweet and kind and she loved my 1 year old daughter. If you are seeing this thank you for the great service. If you are looking for a quality service and delicious food I recommend this place.
I had been here once before and wasn't impressed with my choice of veggie fajitas. This time I chose Pechuga a la Parilla (grilled chicken topped with mushrooms, onions, and green pepper and melted Monterey Jack cheese). It was incredible! Chicken was juicy and there were good chunky pieces of the veggies. The only thing I would change is asking for extra guacamole because they only give a little spoonful. I definitely will return now!
I eat here almost every week and never have been disappointed. Fast friendly service with food quality that ranks up there that puts it as one of the favorite places to go. Amazing fajitas and there nachos are amazing. Love the free chips and salsa and the quick and timely service let's me order enjoy and relax all in a hour and that's rare! Always get seated right when you walk in no wait time and food will not disappoint.
This was my first time eating here. It was delicious and waitstaff was excellent! Food was delicious and ive never had a crispy taco look like a small bowl! Awsome is all i can say! Have to try it when your in Houston!

Not much good to say here. Some of the lowest grade Mexican food I've had... And I grew up in Iowa. The chips and salsa (really just the salsa) was good. Don't go near the sopapillas unless you want jaw pain from chewing through a tire. Expect to pay 25% more than what online anywhere says.

I rarely ever leave bad reviews, but the waitress mixed up our bill and gave another customer our credit card. The staff couldn't have been more apathetic. They didn't seem to even understand that was a problem as long as we paid our bill. The other customer left with our card and we had to cancel it. Not an unforgivable mistake, but it was certainly an unforgivable way in which they handled it.
Food is really good. Service is great. However, when we arrived, we had to wait about 5 minutes before being seated because the hostess was not up at the front, and no one was covering her position. Otherwise I would have left 5 stars because some of the waitstaff saw that we were standing there waiting to be seated.

I came in while waiting for my chiropractor (who is also great) a few doors down in the same shopping center to get back from lunch. I thought my spinach enchiladas were amazing. I got some to bring my wife for her to try. I don't usually get spinach or veggie enchiladas but since I liked these so much I'll be back to try the veggie enchiladas too. The staff was very attentive and friendly.
Came here with a party of 30 people and was extremely impressed with their efficiency. Wait staff took our orders, grouped our checks even when people in the same check weren't sitting together and our food came out exactly how we ordered it. Being Mexican myself, I tend to be overly critical of Mexican food. But their Tex-Mex food is delicious. I ordered the tacos al carbon. Very good.
I have been eating from this restaurant with my family for about 4years now and they are simply the best. Clean restaurant, delicious food and very friendly staff. I recommend this restaurant 100%.

Very friendly environment for kids.
Dined here 3/1/19. Saw a roach crawling on the wall. Waiter and Management acted like it was no big deal. We did not finish our food. Nothing was discounted. The men’s restroom floor was full of water. Called the next day to speak with higher management and they claimed there was a language barrier between us and the staff. She was not aware that I spoke Spanish. Will NEVER go back.
Delicious food. Super fast and attentive service. We are from San Antonio, where there are pretty competitive Tex-Mex restaurants, La Fiesta ranks pretty high even among them. Fajitas were juicy and tender, shredded chicken enchiladas were tasty, our kids gobbled up the cheese quesadilla, and the salsas was medium spicy and chunky!! Will return to again when passing through Houston
Pretty good. Three enchilada plate is good even though they jacked the price up..good straws, chips are thick and crispy. Better than most of those joints. Waiter actually paid attention to us.swooped the bill in before we were finished eating, though, which told me he was ready for us to leave. If he hadnt done that we would probably have ordered some soapapillas. Or maybe not.
Me and my family are regular customers we come every week or so and the food is soooooo good that’s why we gotta come here every week. I usually get street tacos and I completely devour them in under 10 minutes. The servers are really nice and friendly and it’s overall a very comfortable experience. I love this place ❤️❤️❤️

We have gone to La Fiesta a handful of times and every visit has been great. The waitstaff is always courteous, the service is quick, and the food is excellent. The Spinach Enchiladas are particularly yummy, and the margaritas are pretty good as well. La Fiesta offers a large variety of dishes at a very affordable price compared to many restaurants in the area.
Great food at an even better price.

Excellent service, consistant recipes and menu selecrion. I don't like restaurants changing their menu often and taking off my favorite dish. I like combination plate #2 and the lettuce is fresh. The salsa is medium spicy but no so much that my guests who dont like spicy couldnt eat the freshly made dish. And the unlinited chips and salsa are fabulous!
Customer service was outstanding. I dislike the food. I tried the shrimp enchiladas. It was drowned in cheese. The only thing I tasted was cheese and shrimp once I came across it. The to go container does not separate the sides so all of the cheese sauce was on both my rice and beans. So I basically had cheese for lunch and couldn't eat it all.
Came with a friend yesterday and the food was delish! The service was excellent and the food came out extremely fast. It was fresh and overall a great experience. The prices were extremely reasonable. For our food we spent $20 together and we left full, and had to bring leftovers because we couldn’t even eat it all. Definitely coming back!!
I hate giving poor reviews, but the food here was bad. I knew I had chosen poorly when my cheese dip was simply melted velveeta (JUST velveeta). The chips were hard, not just crunchy, HARD. The salsa was tasteless and the presentation was sloppy. The servers were good, if not very friendly. Look elsewhere for Tex-Mex.
We ordered the beef street tacos to go and they were delicious. They come with charro beans, plenty of mini corn tortillas, chips and salsa. The service was fast and friendly. They also give out a card and after ten stamps you get a free meal. Before the pandemic this was my go to place to have lunch with co workers.
Love it! The food delicious, the service EXCEPTIONAL! Highly recommend this place I had the fajitas and they were sooo good! Try it you will love it!

Excellent, satisfying Tex-Mex. This is my family's new go-to place when we have a craving for nachos, enchiladas, or sopapillas. The people here are really nice and the food is flavorful and delicious. Every Houstonian has his/her own Mexican food place and I'm happy to say that this is mine.
Great restaurant, Pete thanks for taking us to this nicer place. The service is very good, attentive. The menu very many items and good drinks too. The food was excellent, served hot and in very good time. Prices for the food are great value. Most certainly will go again when in the area.
Pretty good. Tried the enchiladas, fajitas and sopapillas. My friend enjoyed her Margarita. Great service, delicious food, and they allowed us to sit and chat after closing and didn't rush us out.

I've been eating here since they were on Westheimer and Hayes. They have the best chicken enchiladas I've ever had and I always order it. It's a very good amount of food will have you full throughout the day. They are open for dining at this time but I chose to order for pickup;

I've eaten here a couple of times. Each time trying something different. They're nachos are amazing the chips they use don't get terribly soggy. The chili con queso is authentic. The michaladas here were pretty good;the staff here is very nice. I feel comfortable here.
A good place to eat!! First time there and I like to visit a place two or three times to see if it is consistent, which goes a long way to decide if they would become a regular stop.

Prices are great, the staff is very friendly, and the food is for the most part good but not the best. I ordered a pechuga a la parrilla and the chicken breast was dry and felt like rubber bands in my mouth. I would come again to try something else.

First time trying this place. Everything was delicious and perfect. The portions were huge, the flavor was amazing, good prices. Even the salsa was exceptional. We are very impressed with this place and will definitely be back for more!
Finally, their food is back up to par, maybe even better than it was at the old location. La Fiesta is generational family favorite and I'm glad it continues. Perfect Tex Mex cuisine and great service! I'll always recommend to everyone!
Great service. Food passable. Chili gravy NOTHING like it used to be back in the day on Bunker Hill. Heart broken. It was my mom's favorite. Tasty enchiladas al carbon and good salsa...Hey wash it down with a Modelo...pretty good ...
Waitstaff was great and super attentive. Quick in and out. Salsa was really good with a nice kick. But I did not care for taco meal I got. Taco meat seasoning wasn't for me.

Good service, good ambiance, ordered 4 meals. The steak tostada was excellent. The ground beef tamales, tacos and chili relleno were bland and tasteless with no texture. We probably won't order ground beef meals again.
Stopped in for lunch. Salsa is outstanding, as is the crispy beef taco. Queso very good. Tamales good but not great. Excellent service. This place is old-school Tex Mex, and that's what I like. Will definitely be back!
Good: Cheese enchiladas were good Bad: The bar area needs to be demolished as It makes for awkward dining. It’s small, no TVs and acts more as a storage area. Ugly: Worst house margaritas I’ve ever had.
Long time customer at original location on Westheimer. Currently working close to Kirkwood! Tried lunch today! Diablo Shrimp....amazing! OMG! Best I have EVER eaten! Thanks Renae! Great service too …
Street tacos on point! Almost as good as Mike's tacos in Reynosa. Maybe have a 3 tacos lunch option as well as the 5 taco option.
