Always a crispy refreshing start to your meal adventure is chips and salsa.  Oddly in any Mexican restaurant none of the chips and salsa have ever been the same.  Their salsa is fresh with a hint of spice.

Many of the entrees come with a choice of soup or salad.
The salad with choice of dressing, fresh and crisp.SOUPS

CHICKEN TORTILLA  was a popular choice today.
Topped with cheese, loaded with tender shredded chicken.

ALBONDIGAS – MEATBALLS SOUP –  This one I had to take two pictures.  A hearty flavorful soup full of vegetables, then the magic…  not a tiny meatball, a meatball the size of the bowl.

They have several appetizers to choose from, many we are all familiar with, mini tacos, quesadillas, nachos, sopes, jalepeno poppers, ect. Although, if you like seafood..
I must recommend BOTANA DE MARISCOS – Shrimp, Octopus, Abalone, Pink Clam Oysters, Shrimp with Bacon Garlic Shrimp breaded Fillet.  This is hard to explain, except filled with flavors.   Even with the amount of different seafood in this dish, each one still kept their own distinct flavor.  All surrounded by a nice light sauce.

In keeping with the seafood option, a main dish CAMERON’S ACAPULCO – Jumbo shrimp marinated in garlic oil and wrapped in bacon, sliced pineapple atop rice with a side of beans and more.

An always tasty choice of TACO SALAD –  Ground beef served in a crisp flour tortilla shell with beans, cheese, guacamole, lettuce and sour cream.

Taco’s aren’t only good on Tuesdays.  These will not disappoint you..choices of shredded beef, chicken, fish, asada, al pastor.  These are loaded with meat, topped with fresh veggies and cheese.

BURRITOS – A choice I judge a Mexican restaurant on.  I am not sure why, all Mexican restaurants have them, it is a basic menu item, although the best places make them better than basic.   La Fiesta certainly made them better than basic.  Many choices, beef, chicken, asada, carnitas, verde, and even cancun burrito with shrimp, octopus, rice and beans with a cream sauce.

BEEF BURRITO – flour tortilla filled with shredded beef (or chicken) rice, beans, cheese & topped with ranchero sauce and sour cream.

CARNITAS BURRITO – Rice, beans and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, served with guacamole, pico de gallo and topped with sauce.

BURRITO VERDE – Diced pork simmered in green chili sauce, rice and beans, wrapped in a four tortilla covered with sauce and cheese and side of sour cream. This was my choice for the day, plenty of sauce which I love. Filled full of pork rice and beans with just enough of a kick of spice which adds to all of the flavors.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS – Two tortillas dipped in tomatillo green sauce, stuffed with chunks of chicken rolled with melted cheese and sour cream.  Sides of rice and beans.

They have many combination plates, no reason to have to choose between this favorite or that.  This is an ENCHILADA AND CHILE RELLENO.  They also have a combination TREMENDOUS TRIO – where you pick your three favorites.

Steak??   Of course, it is a tender tasty option throughout the menu.
This is the CARNE TAMPIQUENA – A new york steak stuffed with ham and a special salsa. Topped with bacon, onions, mushrooms, side of avocado and tortillas.

DESSERTS – Tasty light sweets to finish off a great meal.  Fried Ice Cream, Churros, Flan Custard and more.

Thank you La Fiesta Family and staff for great food and great service!
