Fusion Fiesta — Restaurant in Columbia

This is true Mexican food, no Tex-Mex here. The Margaritas are good, too.

For me this is a regular stop when in COMO. It's an order at the counter and find a table restaurant. Once your food is ready, they'll bring it to your table. There's no complimentary chips, but you can order a basket and get yourself some salsa from the Salsa Bar. The salsa bar has a variety of at least 4 different salsas and as a bonus, you can enjoy some pickled veggies.

My most recent visit was a group of 7 and I was the only one who did not order the daily special. The special was, Birria Tacos with sides of Beans and Rice. I enjoyed the, Shrimp Tacos (street style), with no sides. My tacos were excellent and I was impressed with the amount of shrimp that were put in the tacos. My dining partners aka cousins liked theirs as well. A couple thought theirs was a little overly spicy, but I told them that is the joy of Mexican food.

We also shared a order of Beef Nachos and they were delicious. The chips were thick and they were topped with plenty of ground beef and cheese. My next visit, I think I'll enjoy some nachos and a quesadilla.

The atmosphere is kind of a dive, but that is part of the charm. I also, like the big chalkboard menus and wish I had the penmanship of the person who writes on the boards. The staff is friendly and I was impressed that one said, good-bye to us as they were getting off duty and leaving for the day.

Again, let me remind you, this is authentic Mexican food. It is food that you need to experience, so get...

So disappointed 😔 this is actually one of my mine and my daughter’s favorite place to get tacos. But this time has really upset me…. I have ordered the fish tacos before and they’ve been good but this time I had gone in to do a pick up order. My daughter ordered three Asada tacos and I ordered two fish tacos. The total came out to about $18 which when you’re a single mom is a pretty hefty amount especially when they’re not even full size Tacos but we treat ourselves every once in a while because we really do enjoy the authenticity of this spot. We are Hispanic and moved to Missouri about 6 years ago from California and have found it incredibly difficult to find good Hispanic food. Now the fish tacos are $4.10/each, keep in mind they are NOT full size tacos. When I got home and went to start eating I had to literally search for the fish because of how small it was. It really bothers me to have to leave this review but I honestly felt robbed this time😕 ** for the photos I used the fork as a reference guide next...

Disappointed, unfortunately. I had high hopes because I have heard great things over the years and finally tried it. I waited in the drive thru for awhile and the attendant was more than pleasant! He is the only reason I gave more stars. The chips were thick, overcooked, no salt. The rice had no flavor. My birria tacos also were lacking in flavor, no consume, and tortillas were soggy. Raw, not cooked, onion chopped up and I had more of that in my tacos than the meat. Meat tasted like roast, not a marinated Mexican beef as I have had in other birria tacos at other restaurants. I also had to pay extra for the chips, which, again, were not pleasant at all. The queso was good, but I could not enjoy it because of the disappointing chips. I ended up putting it on my rice to get some sort of flavor. Hoping this was just a bad day! I’d love to give it another try, as, again, I’ve heard so many...
