La Fiesta Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Newport News

La Fiesta was delicious! I am SO FULL!! 😋 Chips salsa and white sauce were served promptly upon being seated. The salsa was spicy. I loved it. It had a great flavor! Babe didn't even try it because, for me to say it was spicy, it was proved that it would definitely be overly spicy to him. Plus, he enjoyed the white sauce. Which also had a kick and a tangy, yummy flavor. We enjoyed the Texas fajitas, which was served with rice and beans and guacamole salad. My husband did not care for the corn tortillas that were served with the fajitas. They have flour tortillas but were not served with the fajitas. The chicken, steak, and shrimp were sauteed with onions and bell peppers. The mixture seemed to have a tomato paste coating or possibly were sautéed with tomato or a paste of some sort. We had a pick three combination with 2 chicken quesadillas and a Chile relleno, with rice and beans. The Chile relleno was the tastiest I've had in a very long time. The mole sauce was soo good, and it didn't taste like it was pre-made and wasn't overly breaded. It was, however, loaded with warm, gooey cheese. We agree that the chicken quesadillas were our favorite part of our meal. They were perfectly seasoned and so delicious they were gone in a jif. We also enjoyed fresh guacamole, which was absolutely FRESH and delightful. The tomatoes seemed like they were possibly a premade mixture of Pico de Gallo (you know the texture of tomatoes after being diced and stored in the refrigerator) rather than fresh diced tomatoes but it was enjoyable none the less. Our waiter was very nice and all smiles. He did not automatically refill our drinks. He waited until they were completely empty before offering refills. We did have more than one server check in with us to ensure all was well. Overall, we had a good experience and...

We rated your establishment 5 stars because your waiter let us sample a complimentary shot glass of the non-alcoholic plant- based drink, named "Horchata."

This plant-based beverage is well known from Valencia port city of the south eastern coast, where the Turia River meets the Mediterranean sea. The nutty rich & creamy sweet taste gives that nostalgia of being in the beautiful country of Spain...

Horchata- Made with soaked ground and sweetened tiger nuts, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Totally Non-Alcoholic beverage, Is very sweet, but "Absolutely Delish!" 😋

And if Christmas had a taste, "It would taste just like "Horchata!" 😂

Thanks again La Fiesta your food & drinks was "Outstanding!" We will be back again...

Let me start off this review by saying i grew up in Mexico so Mexican food is close to my heart.

The ambiance, music, decor and costumer service are amazing. Servers were attentive.

Started off with Jamaica which was delicious and refreshing. Their chips and salsa were also fresh and bright.

Now for the food. I ordered the Enchiladas Poblanas, portion was HUGE, the enchiladas had a great flavor and the mole was actually decent and the rice although a little bland was actually tasty and cooked to perfection. Now, i also ordered a Chile relleno a la carte...

The flavor and texture are immediately OFF Its hard to describe? But immediately thought of if Chef Boyardee made mexican food...it would taste like this. The sauce tasted like straight up tomato puree. The fried part surrounding the chile relleno had weird consistency... i immagine they freeze large batches and use as needed. But had i judged the food off the Chile relleno alone i would've been immediately turned off.

I will definitely return to try other items, the food is decent and so far one of the few decent Mexican joints...
