Editorial Review for La Fiesta – by Sam Edelmann
The Scene
Unassuming and exceptional, this Mexican restaurant has two dining rooms that hold 18 tables, with Mexican hats, pinatas and streamers as decorations. Spanish MTV is shown on the TV with speakers throughout the dining area.
The Food
The chef is from Central Mexico, and much of his cuisine reflects his background. The tacos, enchiladas and burritos are fairly ordinary, but the specialty items, like huevos con chorizo (eggs with sausage), are quite good. Chicken with mole sauce is outstanding, though not quite spicy enough; get started with the wonderful salsa verde, a green sauce with a tomatilla base. For the adventurous, the excellent chicken in green salsa stands out, with its complex taste of chiles, tomatillas and cilantro. The fact that La Fiesta is inexpensive doesn't hurt either.

I am a Pittsburgh transplant, from Texas, and I must admit I have eaten plenty of Mexican food, and consider myself an expert..... This restaurant is rated in the highest position in my books, the food is excellent, the service is great, parking available in the rear, and always a warm friendly atmosphere. I can not complain about anything. I love the enchiladas, salsa and the cheese sauce!!!!!!!! I will return many times to this restaurant!!!!!!! If you like Mexican food, this is the best place to go!!!!!!
Pros: Food and service
Cons: no bar

I understand it was Cinco de Mayo, but after ordering we waiting over an hour for the food for two people! I ordered two side order soft tacos no onions..... after an hour they came, both with onions! Not wanting to wait another hour for two tacos I could get at Taco Bell in less than a minute, I finally got an employees attention after 15 minutes, told them they were wrong... however they said there was nothing they could do and made me pay $8 anyhow eventhough I never touched either of them and didn't even unwrap the second after I saw the first was made wrong!!!!!! And my boyfriend got the taco salad only for it to have about a spoonfull of meat in it... it was nothing but beans he paid for! And they bring chips and salsa to your table when you sit down, and then make you pay for it!! I will NEVER go back again!!! And tell everyone else not to go!
