La Fiesta Mexican Food Restaurant

Excellent authentic food. The very best margaritas. cheapest in town. Waiters are very nice and are there when you need them

Price is ridiculously high. $15 for four tacos? $21 for a michelada?!? Shame on the greed. Good food though.

I arrived at 7:00 and was told to sit wherever I would like. Sat around 7:02. Waitress arrived around 7:06. Brought my drink back and my order was placed by 7:08. Pretty quick and very polite. About 5 years back I worked in a nearby gas plant. I have now returned to work in drilling. I would come hear and order Chicken Enchiladas Verdes and it was really good. It was hot though, but I really liked hot food. I am Cajun, so to give you an idea, it was hotter than Cajun food and almost as hot as Thai medium heat. Well, first impressions. I am pretty sure it didn't have yellow cheese on it last time. First bite, wow! Not as hot as it used to be, but still has a nice spice, which is good. I was a little concerns I wouldn't be able to handle it. The sauce now has a smoother creaminess to it and the chicken is moist and tender. The rice and refried beans were good as well. Well, that was delicious. If you haven't figured out, as I was eating, I was reviewing and typing. It's a winner. Can't tell you about the rest of the menu yet, but first visit back and the Chicken Enchiladas Verdes is a keeper, as my wife would say when I cook something she enjoys and wants me to cook again. As for the ambiance, this is a small mom and pop restaurant. Lots of laughs and smiles and friendly staff. One last thing, it was $14.05 with a tea, not including the tip of course.

Our first visit recommended by the front desk gal at the hotel we stayed at while passing through to Allen, TX. First off we drove there at night and the way Apple Maps took was through neighborhoods that might make one feel a bit uneasy Not many street lights in Pecos for night time driving. Of course if it's your home town, no issues but for us out-of-staters, it was a bit challenging on the dark streets. Once we arrived, there is the cafe and a restaurant and we ended up between the two and in a poor lit area/back alley. We then had to turn around and get back on the main street in order to park in front of the restaurant, not a lot of spots to park especially when lots of workers eat here. Sighhh We walked in shortly after 7pm and the place was busy with many men and young men who work in various positions in Pecos. We were told they are pipe fitters, truck drivers, local refinery workers, etcetera. We were told we could sit anywhere and chose our table amongst large groups of hard working men. Unfortunately, there were two guys (and I'm not sure they were workers) but had foul mouths and not far from us so we had to endure the "F" bombs throughout our dinner. Then another very large group of workers came in and sat closer to us and a few of them kept throwing out the "F" bomb in their conversations. It was not pleasant while trying to eat dinner. But then again in a restaurant where all these workers frequent that is what you'll get I suppose. We ordered the three taco plate (chicken) with rice and beans asking them for no beans and all rice. Two tacos being crispy and one soft. They asked if we wanted chips and salsa and of course "yes". The salsa was very flavorful and a bit hot but well worth enjoying!! Our dinner took quite a while but a large group of men had ordered before us hence the long wait. Unfortunately I wish I could tell you that it was worth the wait. The chicken in the tacos was a small quantity and no flavor. Almost like the chicken had been boiled and shredded. Hardly any cheese to almost none, a little lettuce and a small slice of tomato. All three tacos were the same. And only asking for rice no beans, we didn't get much rice to make up for no beans. My husband and I shared the plate and got somewhat full. Again because we were sharing we had asked for a second plate but waited too long before we improvised with just napkins. Again all the workers kept the few servers very busy!!! The rice was lukewarm to cool as was the tacos. Just FYI, NO MARGARITAS only beer. Very disappointed especially after a 7 hr. drive. Lastly, the taco plate was $12.99. My husband said that's cheap for the three tacos, and I'm glad because they would not have been worth more. Please note: CHIPS and SALSA COST MONEY!! We found that out when we went up to pay the bill. We were NOT told when asked if we wanted some. We are from Cali and in every Mexican restaurant, they are FREE and also in the few Mexican restaurants we enjoyed in North Dallas they were free. I feel like they may be charging because the workers may eat more than a few bowlfuls costing the restaurant mucho dinero (money). If that's the case, PLEASE let your customers know when you ask if we want them. We definitely DID NOT look like workers. Lol. Would we return...NO!! We have had much better food at hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants and that is what we were hoping for and didn't receive. We'd rather eat at Sonic or KFC next time we stay in Pecos. Our entire meal cost, which included a drink, $21.65 plus our $5 tip. We don't mind paying the money if the food is scrumptious, but it was not tasty just filling. Perhaps other dishes are better tasting. As we were paying, saw some yummy looking soup but looks can be deceiving. I'd try another Mexican restaurant if there is one before going here. Sorry.

Oh my gosh I'm here now almost though. I'm so glad I didn't go by reviews cause if I had of I would have passed this up. I had shrimp fajitas, 1 margarita on the rocks, 1 corona. The salsa is excellent and hot as a firecracker but so addictive tasting. The shrimp is perfect, onions are grilled perfectly with such a sweet taste. Rice is such perfection. Only thing I was the chips was a little stale. But I definitely rate this place 5 plus. I was talking to my husband cause I'm traveling from Arizona to Texas and when he worked the oilfield here a few years back he said he ate here and loved it too.

Waited for 20 minutes no one came to my table to get my order for anything. Seems like if you are not Hispanic you get ignored, restaurant was not busy but every Hispanic table was over attended to I guess Gringos are not welcome here... Lesson learned will not be back ever!!!

The service was great and the green enchiladas with chicken was delicious! We truly enjoyed our experience.

Definitely love this place Great Food, makes an awesome michilada. Always a great friendly staff, love the family feel and comfortable atmosphere for a place to relax and enjoy a good conversation.

Salsa and enchiladas in restaurant were spicy & delicious. Food truck run by sane people next door served the best burger we ever had. Friendly quick service THANK YOU

Will not return. Last two times my order has been wrong and whoever is on the phone doesn't seem to care about my complaint and wouldn't call a manager to the phone. Food has gotten expensive so the least they can do is get the order right.
