Fiesta Mexico — Restaurant in Town of Orangetown

Today, August 11th 2021, I decided to go to Fiesta for lunch with friends since it was close and convenient, however, I was highly mistaken.

I arrived there around 3pm for lunch and was told to pick wherever we’d like to sit for lunch. There were 2 people sitting at the bar, a party of 4 in the dining room, a party of 6 finishing up, 1 person sitting outside and me and 2 friends sitting in the dining room. We looked at the menu decided our drinks, appetizers, and lunch for each individual before we were asked if we want water for the table. Time went on and as 3 old friends were catching up and time goes by for all of us, but 20 minutes went by and we still had water on the table or a waiter came to our table.

We sat there for 20 minutes without any service and it’s extremely rude when we finally decided to walk up and leave. Yet, we find everyone at the hostess station having a conversation minding their own business besides their customers.

During these difficult times, customer service is something everyone is complaining about but as a daughter of a father who works in the restaurant business there are things I have let go and not drawn attention too, however this time there was no reason to show poor customer service.

The manager came chasing after me asking to have our first round of drinks on them, but it was too late, they were too occupied with the conversation huddling over the hostess station rather than the 15 people that were in their restaurant. This was disappointing to see and witness.

Someone who has been out to dinner and supporting restaurant businesses I was extremely disappointed. I always remember this saying “the world is short staffed, be kind to those who showed up” however, I was patiently waiting for this restaurant to show...

I loved everything about this place, small on the inside, quaint little place with plenty of tables outside, and inside. The decor is modern, vibrant, and makes you feel at home. The staff very attentive from the waiters, to the bus people. It's a family owned business for over 35 years. They serve sangria, margaritas, cocktails etc . The menu is easy to understand, and not too busy from apps, main dishes to desserts. Prices are moderate. Ordered the nachos hot in temperature which made the meeting of cheese, and refried beans, and if you like jalapeño peppers delightful, very tasty. Also ordered the guacamole which was not cold usually restaurants pre-make it and loses its flavor, and texture, it was smooth, and you can taste the onions, cilantro that was added. The chips, and salsa were fresh, and crunchy i couldn't eat just one! As the main course ordered the Carne asada (grilled steak) NO trimmings on top. The meat arrived just the way i ordered it and searing with a pleasing aroma that i couldn't wait to taste, and it came with a salad, and typical yellow rice. I regret not taking a picture of the after plate. It was that succulent. Had a simple glass of red wine, cab. Unfortunately i didn't have room for dessert, and i know they offer churros, fried ice cream, and the good old custard flan. All around it was an excellent experience. Owners were attentive....

This is a solid spot with pretty good quality food. IV been coming here for a a while as my family likes it a lot. The service is very quick and as said the food is good! One thing I would like to point out is please get bigger glasses for soda? The Dixiecups they give are good for three sips and I typically need like 4 refills through. There is often not enough cheese in my tacos or burrito when I specifically make sure to say please add cheese if there isn’t any? That’s a big no for me I can’t have Mexican food with no cheese. Other than that, the food itself is good when it comes out right. I especially like their chips and retried beans. If you like Mexican food definitely stop by. Not my favorite spot due to the cons I listed but enough pros for me to give it the...
