Señor Fiesta — Restaurant in Gainesville

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Senor Fiesta, coming from Buford! We drove 25 miles to get there because the reviews were so good.

When we walked in, it was super crowded, especially since it was Wednesday during Happy Hour. The patio was packed, and most of the restaurant was full. But we were lucky enough to snag a seat outside, at the last table.

The restaurant looked amazing; the colors and themes were spot-on, making it feel so authentic. The floors, halls, and empty tables were clean and inviting. I chatted with the manager, and she mentioned that the restaurant has been around for 10 years! Wow! I couldn’t believe it, but the area has grown, with a new liquor store and Taco Mac.

I also spoke with one of the bartenders, and the bar was fantastic; the design, space, all the usual tequila options, and an excellent selection of bourbon. The only thing I couldn’t find was Tears of Llorna (IYKYN).

Now, the real star was the menu… because we were there on Wednesday, the special was 32 oz Margaritas for $9. Just a heads-up, be careful! If you are nice, your waiter or waitress will give you a Togo cup for your drink.

We had enchiladas and a specialty Fajita with shrimp, chicken, and ribeye strips. It was a bit different from the usual fajita. The food was really good and lasted for three days. I even made an omelette on the last day—it was amazing. I was also impressed with the exceptional service from our waiter Carlos and his colleague Evelyn. They really handled their business with so many demanding customers (locals).

Overall, I would highly recommend Senor Fiesta for authentic Mexican food with large portions and potent drinks. Just a heads-up, I wouldn’t recommend going during happy hour; most of the crowd leaves by 7pm. Also if you aren’t from the area, the water tastes like soap. I recommend bottle water. TRUST ME...

We absolutely love this place! We drive 40 minutes each way to eat here from North Atlanta. It is better Mexican food, better service and better Margaritas than any other place we can find in our area!

We've had at least half a dozen different servers and every one of them has been excellent, friendly, and taken great care of us.

The food has not only been excellent, with great quality ingredients that seem to be very fresh; but they are consistent with their quality! We have had their fajitas, quesadillas, rellanos, chimichangas, tacos, soups and so much more....and every one of them have been fantastic. We honestly have not had a single mediocre meal, let alone a bad one. And the portions are huge, so if you don't eat a lot, I recommend sharing or planning to take something home as leftovers for another meal.

And now for my absolute favorite thing about Senior Fiestas.....the Margaritas!!! Their margaritas are seriously addictive! They have the typical salt or sugar to flavor the rim of your glass, but they also have and it's worth trying each and every one. And the different flavors of margaritas take up at least two full pages of their menu and likely more. I would give recommendations on the various flavors; except since we tried their top-shelf Texas margarita.... I can't bring myself to order anything else. And FYI, you can order the margarita mix to go and add your own tequila at home. It is just as fantastic if not better because you can use your own favorite tequila... And you don't have to worry about how you're...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Mexican restaurant, and while the food was excellent, what truly made the experience unforgettable was our waitress, Alexa. From the moment we sat down, she welcomed us with such warmth and genuine hospitality that we immediately felt comfortable.

Alexa is an absolute professional at what she does. She took our order with ease, making sure every detail was correct, and even offered helpful suggestions from the menu without ever being pushy. She has a way of anticipating what you need before you even have to ask—whether it’s refilling drinks, checking in at just the right moments, or making sure the food came out exactly as ordered. Her attentiveness was remarkable, and she somehow managed to balance being efficient with being incredibly personable.

It’s rare to find someone who not only does their job so well but also clearly cares about the experience of every guest. Alexa made the entire evening feel special, turning what could have been just another meal into a truly memorable dining experience. She absolutely deserves recognition for the way she goes above and beyond. Eddie Martinez definitely was just having a bad day. Please treat people with respect- especially those who work in hospitality. She has a lot on her plate and needs all the kindness the world has to offer!

If you’re coming here, I highly recommend asking for Alexa—you’ll be in the best...
