Fiesta Mexicana Downtown Benson (Location#2) — Restaurant in Benson

What a unique find! We needed to spend a few days in Benson North Carolina and asked the young lady at the hotel where a good place to eat close by would be. She recommended this restaurant and I’m so glad she did! It started with chips and salsa. The salsa flavor was spot on and the chips were crunchy and still warm. I asked the waitress what I should order and she recommended La fiesta special. It was chicken, fresh mushrooms, fresh zucchini, onion, and green pepper cooked in what taste like a fajita type of seasoning served over a cheesy seasoned rice. It was delicious! They were also warm tortillas for eating with it but I could not find room. Another person in my party got fried chicken chimichangas and the chicken was very flavorful. The wait stuff was great! We arrived at 7:15 and I was afraid it would be too late and they would close soon. We were one of four tables and it was pretty quiet. By 745 the place was packed and there was a line out the door. On a Monday night! They handled it well thank got everybody in and see it as quickly as possible. All the food that went by look delicious and while we were there I never saw anybody returned their food or complain that it wasn’t exactly what they wanted. It was a really nice atmosphere and really great food. If you’re ever in Benson make it a point to stop by! Definitely recommend! Easy on...

I really had high hopes for this place and it severely let me down. I had ordered the fajita dinner, the steak and chicken combo. It was very bland and I couldn't detect any seasoning. The grilled meat and veggies look as if they were all put through a wood chipper. Everything was julienne cut which dried out the meat when it was cooked. The fresh sides container was lackluster. I got about an ounce of the following: rice, sour cream and tomato. I also got about 2 ounces of refried beans and guac. The tin it came in was maybe a quarter filled. The tortillas served on the side were also hard. Next, the carnitas meal: it was very under seasoned, if seasoned at all. The meat was tender, but severely lacked flavor. Also, the quesadillas also came to us pretty charred. I expected some browning, but it wasn't enjoyable. The only redeeming item was the queso cheese, it was really good. I honestly don't think I'll return to try any more food. It tastes like it was made by a bunch of middle aged white women who think think that black...

A terrible disservice to the community. Parked in their empty parking lot Sunday just to walk a little and come back to eat. Within 10 minutes of parking their they called the towing company to tow my car. When I went in to get information, 4 employees standing around doing nothing smiling as they told me there are signs posted. All smiling and watching the door just so they can call the towing company to pick up peoples cars. A total scam which cost me and my hard working family $350, and leaving my wife and son stranded in Benson for over two hours trying to figure out how to get to my vehicle. A great way to rip off the community and it sure makes me proud serving this countries military for over 20 years and being told by a young worker that there are signs posted. If you were watching the door when I parked, a simple warning would have made things so much different. I hope you lose service and people figure out that you and your establishment is ran on low morals and poor...
