There are places around town that are worshipped by locals. Sometimes for good reasons, other times…  Lord knows what people are thinking. Fiesta Mexicana falls flat into the latter category. Nobody can say we didn't give it a chance, and in case you haven't tried the spot just consider this our favor to you.

This is food for people who don't like flavor. My dish was allegedly carnitas but I honestly am not sure what the meat-like substance was. The sauce could might as well have come from one of the "Chinese" places on Division; a jelly like tomato sauce. It had a consistency, but didn't actually taste like anything. Imagine eating watered down gelatine and you get the idea.

Beans? Flavorless. Guacamole? Likely from a jar bought from Safeway. So on. So forth.

Look, I wish Fiesta Mexicana was an institution for a reason. Go to any Internets review sites, and the place gets rave reviews. It doesn't matter what I say, of course, it won't change that fact. I just want to warn people who like food. Go somewhere else.

Like La Esquina. Or De Leon. Or Guerrero. Or Michoacana. Places that serve Mexican food.
