“ My husband and I came here for lunch and it was quick service! They have a variety on the menu and give you great portions for your food! I got the white queso burrito and absolutely delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating! ”
“ We had a catered event with La Fiesta this past weekend and it could not have been better! The food and service were incredible, and at a very reasonable price for the high quality-level of food and service that we received. Their manager, David, was incredibly helpful in the process of planning and executing our vision for the dinner. Would 10/10 recommend hiring them for your next event! ”
“ Love the food! The service is great. The servers are very good. I've noticed how all the employees work together and help each other. ”
“ Came here on a Saturday before 6pm so restaurant was quiet and seated within minutes. This is my first time coming here but have heard about this restaurant for years. You'll get chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. My husband ordered a large margarita but didn't expect the cost or the size of it for $22. He said the drink was good but not worth the price plenty of places around town you can have better drinks for the price. We ordered for the kids the kids quesadilla with rice and beans which was perfect for our little ones to share. However they don't have any drinks for kids. We had the beef flautas with charro beans and salad with guacamole. The flautas and beans were delicious but the guacamole was rancid. I recommend you try the Jamaica drink it was great. My husband had the carne asada burrito with queso and really enjoyed it but no sides. Food and service was good but too expensive for only two entrees, two jamaicas, one kids meal and one alcoholic drink with tip $100. ”
“ We have been eating here for years The restaurant was recently sold and reopened under the name of la Fiesta mexican grille. The place looks amazing they Read in the inside of the restaurant in the back patiol area The food was amazing the drinks are amazing. They have very friendly food staff as well. They have a cart that rolls around the restaurant where they make fresh guacamole by the table. I wish I had gotten pictures of that. Definitely replacing some of the other local restaurants on my list. This is a must stop if you're in the Gainesville area. ”
“ I am so happy we stopped here on the way home from Tallahassee. The fajita burrito is amazing! Not only we're we in and out less than 45 mins (went around 2pm on a Friday) the food was fresh and delicious, service was also great! I highly recommend and will for sure come back here next time I go to tally and pass this place Hidden gem! ”
“ This was a perfect pit stop for us traveling from Florida to Georgia where they have gas around to fill up till you settle your little ones and order food. The food was good Mexican food and the service was good. We had asked to serve in Togo boxes so we could carry leftovers in the car for kids and they happily did it for us. The Ambiance was a great little Mexican city made. The restrooms were clean and ample parking was available. After food we also have DD to pick up coffee on our way to continue the drive. ”
