Very underwhelming environment, not sure if they were remodeling when I went, but the food was off the charts!!! The chips were extremely fresh, salsa was just hot enough, I could've gone with a little more heat but delicious regardless. I ordered the Chile Colorado.... Perfection. I went hot and it didn't disappoint. Perfectly done, the meat fell apart in my mouth. The beans were perfectly smooth and the rice was equally delicious. It gets served up hot so be careful with that first bite.

Huevos Rancheros here are my absolute favorite. To name a few you can’t go wrong with: Arroz con pollo, Chicken adoba street Tacos, Mexican style burritos( your choice of meat), Pozole(seasonal), Birria. I’m sure there’s more, but this is what comes to mind off the top of my head.

Great Food and service. This place has been a staple of the Indian Wells Valley for many years for a reason.

OMG this restaurant was off the HOOK. Service and the food were excellent. The waiter was so friendly and polite. I haven’t had authentic Mexican food in a while accept for my own. This was D lish. I will be back very soon to enjoy another.

Decided after shopping a much needed break for food was deserved. We had our 8 month old puppy with us so that limited choices due to temps of 106° that day. They kindly let us eat on the enclosed patio allowing the pup to be with us. The menu choices were great & the food tasted like I remembered it having been 20 years since I'd eaten there (I had moved out of town). I highly recommend this place for taste, service, and their kindness. Thank you to all the staff!

At first glance and walking in, it had the atmosphere and appearance of a fast food place but that is where the similarities end. Typically, Mexican food is not as good the 2nd day. The portions were large so we risked taking the food home to reheat either for dinner or lunch the next day. It was so good with quality ingredients and authentic taste and it might have even gotten better than the first day. Our biggest regret is we don't live closer. We would be consistent customers. The gentleman behind the counter was excellent with all of the costumers. I don't know if he was the owner or manager but he was excellent.

Get the carne asada tacos and thank me later. Some of the best tacos I have ever had, with portions so generous it was literally spilling out the sides of the tortillas. Absolute perfection

We've been enjoying La Fiesta since they first opened decades ago. Terrific food and service. The classic margherita is the best I've EVER had! A bit noisy if you dine in and they're busy.

First time here. Food was as expected, nothing spectacular. We had the beef Enchilada and street pork tacos. Enchiladas was filled with ground beef and no sauce like one would expect. Pork tacos were the best and tasty. Final bill was $18.43 with water. Chips n salsa are free with orders over $5 and all the free hot, medium or mild salsa you can eat. Beer is pretty steep @ 3.99 for import AND domestic 12oz bottles. Friendly and quick service brings this up to a 4 star. Lower prices, updated decor and menu would bring this in at a solid 5. We will be back.

I've only tried their birria dinner plate (only available on Mondays) and it's so good. 13 dollars for food that is very filling.

Sorta disappointing, ordered a variant of fish tacos was told a grilled option... was legit just a piece of fish sitting on top a tortilla... maybe exxagerative but felt like anyone would know it ain't much of a taco.

Wish they would go back to hole in the wall bomb Mexican food. Understand that they want a change but dang miss the old place.

First off...nobody is answering the phone!!! So I ordered 2 enchilada meals with rice and beans... Total was like $19.... It was a togo order and thought that was a great deal for to lunch meals....only to fine out it was 1 meal, with some street taco sized cheese enchilada soaked in sauce.. It's been years since our family had this every Friday night...someone told me that the food is excellent.... Sorry but what i brought home was garbage!!! Maybe we'll try again in another 15 years or so............

I used to really like this place but lately it’s been very disappointing. About three weeks ago I ordered the Macho burrito which was very bland and the beans it came with were watery. I recently gave them another chance and was met with another disappointing experience. I ordered their Grande burrito which was not even wrapped properly, just a heaping plate of bland beans, poorly seasoned ground beef and some cheese. I will not be coming back any time soon unfortunately.

Pretty good. More flavorful than most Mexican food places in town. Fast and friendly. Reasonably priced. Edit: I hadn't been in a while. Stopped by for a sandwich and a salad. The sandwich was awful. It was greasy and it had one tiny lettuce leaf and one slice of tomato on a big burger bun. They threw fries in, I pulled a long hair out of my mouth and threw the rest away. I always enjoyed previous visits or found it to be mediocre, but this time 🥶

I recently visited La Fiesta with my husband and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. When we arrived, the restaurant was quite full and extremely loud. There were very few available seats because most of the empty tables were still covered in dirty dishes and had not been cleared. We ended up having to sit near the back door. It was approximately 42 degrees outside, and customers were continuously walking out of that door. Some even held the door open for extended periods of time. As a result, cold air kept blowing directly onto our table. My food became cold almost immediately, and I was unable to enjoy or finish my meal. I explained the situation to our waitress, specifically mentioning the issue with the door being held open and how it was affecting our food. Unfortunately, my concern did not seem to be taken seriously or addressed. Because of this, we ultimately decided to leave. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but basic table maintenance, seating consideration, and guest comfort are important. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and improvements are made so other customers do not have a similar experience.
