Gran Fiesta Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Independence

The restaurant is attached a hotel so it may not be something someone would necessary notice, but it’s a very large place with lots of seating and a nice, clean, open area. I was seated pretty quickly and served chips/salsa. The salsa was good, but a tad watery. I would have like more onion or cilantro but it was ok. I ordered a combo that came with an enchilada, taco and chile relleno. I also had guacamole as an appetizer. This was fresh but did need a tad bit of salt/lime. It was pretty good but seemed small for what you pay for. The beef enchilada was good and the taco was standard with lettuce/tomato/cheese. Shell was crispy so that was nice. The relleno was probably what I liked least. It could have been stuffed with more cheese because I could hardly even see what was inside. The batter wasn’t crispy and was falling off due to being a little greasy. The sauce had a nice spice and I did like that. It felt like just eating a greasy pepper with some spicy sauce. The waitress was amazing and super friendly. She took time to actually talk and have a conversation. I’ll definitely be back to try...

The place is in fact very beautiful, nice atmosphere and nice scenery. The restaurant has very nice decor and a nice size patio. Now as for the food it wasn’t bad but for me who been around lots of Mexican establishments it was a typical average cuisine. Nothing WOWED me. I didn’t enjoyed my dish but my wife did like hers. Salsa n chips were good. They have a kids menu which I really liked and my grandson did as well. I order a peach daiquiri and the color was more white than others I had and it was like a watered down vanilla, no peach flavor at all. I was asked if I wanted a different flavor but if you screw up the first time chances are I’m not interested. Take off the bill which he did. The staff were friendly and for a typical white American the food will be passable. No to offend anyone but I’ve been around cities n states and had multiple Mexican cuisines to know what is ok to authentic. It’s on you to decide on your own, for me I will pass to...

I recently visited Grand Fiesta with my husband. The ambiance of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, making it a great spot for a nice evening out. However, the service was quite slow, which was a bit disappointing. We only saw our server twice . I was particularly excited to try the margarita flights that were advertised to be served on a ceramic plane, but unfortunately, they were unavailable due to a broken plane.

We ordered chicken and shrimp fajitas, which were flavorful and well-prepared. However, the tamales were a letdown as the chicken inside was quite dry. On the bright side, the drinks were delicious, though not as strong as I had hoped. The price compared to other Mexican restaurants that we have visited It's very different very costly here.

Overall, Grand Fiesta has potential with its lovely setting and tasty drinks, but there’s room for improvement in service and food...
