Fiesta Mexicana

Love this restaurant! I’ve eaten here enough times I figure it’s only fair to leave a review. Fiesta Mexicana is just a short walk from my neighborhood and has the feel of a cozy local restaurant. I always order the ACP which is fantastic (great ratio of chicken and cheese). They do upcharge for small things and I will say that their ground beef is a bit watery and bland but the tasty chicken and friendly staff keep me coming back.

We checked this place out while up visiting the NC State Fair Oct 2023. We found it up to par for standard Mexican food fare. We had the chicken fajitas, 3 enchilades meal, quesadilla, and taco meals. Al was quick, hot and seasoned ok. No complaints about the service 👌. I would try it again if I visited the area.

The chips and salsa were very good. The salsa was more flavor and spicy as opposed to just annoying tomato. I love tomato, but that's not salsa. That's just spaghetti. Anyway, I got the lunch special number 3, which is one taco and one enchilada with rice and beans. Omigosh, I was impressed with how good the rice and beans were. The taco had great tasting meat, but the shell was disappointing, and I eventually scraped out the meat, cheese, and lettuce and discarded the shell. It was old tasting and not crispy at all. Honestly, they could have refried it, and it might have been good enough. I prefer corn tortilla either way, though. The enchilada had the good meat also, but I'm not used to that enchilada sauce TexMex in Central Texas uses I was like, meh. Other than that, because of the meat, it was worth eating. Overall, it wasn't El Paso style, but I'll be back.
