In Gainesville to look at zoo tech program at Santa Fe. This restaurant was about a mile away. Stopped expecting ok but it was very good. We were seated and greeted promptly, and chipped within seconds. They have a lunch menu and we both ordered from it. Both meals were large portions, cannot imagine what dinner portions would be. They... More

The menu, atmosphere and prices were very good and the service was excellent. However our tabs had an automatic 18% tip added upon which tax was improperly charged. Our party which included a mathematics professor, an attorney and three others with doctorates questioned a befuddled staff about this and they did adjust our bills. This isn't a reason not to...

We were a party of 9 last night at the NW 39th Ave location, and the service was outstanding. The server returned to our table many times to see if anyone needed anything. The serving portions were large. Several folks asked for boxes and took home part of their meal. In my opinion, the food was good, but not outstanding.... More

The food and atmosphere are nothing special, but you will always feel great after the best margaritas that can be made. Talk to the servers a little to cajole a drink that is most memorable. This is hands down the best value in town if you like Mexican food and enjoy margaritas.

La Fiesta is excellent, authentic Mexican in Gainesville! It is by far my favorite Mexican food is town. If you like spicy food, don't miss the chili burrito. Everything comes out fast and fresh. Don't miss!

The best item is actually not on the menu - the queso and bean dip! OMG I would weight 300 lbs if I knew how to make it. The chips are just a vehicle to get as much of this dip into my mouth as possible. Otherwise I usually get either the Southwest steak wrap or the regular tacos. The... More

Have been here several times in the last month. Each time the server was polite, attentive and responsive to our wishes. The optional cheese dip for the chips is outstanding! Food[Burriotos, Fajitas] seem freshly prepared and delicious. Mexican background music just the right volume. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We stumbled in La Fiesta on a recent stay and had low expectations based on the location. The staff was extremely friendly and we were quickly served hot chips and two types of salsa. The guacamole is made fresh and loaded with chunks of avocado. It needed salt and a little hot sauce, the hot sauce was so good we... More
