Editorial Review for La Fiesta Mexican Cuisine & Lounge – by Whitney Friedlander
In Short
Shined wood and marble floors at this expansive Mexican restaurant lead past a dark wooden bar to reveal plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. During the week, tourists and families gather to enjoy fajitas and beef tamales, plus more creative dishes like black bean pizza. Fridays and Saturdays, the place livens up as tables are pushed away for a crowd of clean-cut dancers to enjoy DJs spinning house music.

this place was so wrong i have to warn everyone to try another mexican place on gaslamp. for $20 entrees i was expecting some good food. but it was worse than taco bell i swear to god. i ordered paella and i think the seafood was rotted. it was defnitely so old the whole plate reaked and i couldn't even eat more than 3 bites because the seafood tasted so old and smelly. i was afriad i would get sick. my friend ordered tamales in mole sauce and those fools put chocolate syrup in the mole. this is definitely not authentic mexican food because we all know mole has a base from chocolate. but some idiot in the kitchen who is definitely not mexican put hersheys chocolate syrup in the sauce. you could taste it and now i know what fckn chocolate syrup tastes like on tamales. its fckn nasty dont ever try it and avoid this place at all costs. i paid for my unfinished meal in full and didnt return my food, but i made sure to let the waiter know the food was wrong. and the waiter wasnt surprised and seemed to agree with me. this place is sht, whoever is the chef really s*cks. this place needs gordon ramsay makeover because the cooks dont know food from caca or dont give a sht.
Pros: friendly waitstaff nice gaslamp district atmosphere
Cons: the food is grade F. total rip off on the prices for serving you sht.

well, i do not know how that people can say it is now good. it is wonderful. i really tought it was really good. from the salsa, to the appetizer. i do not know who make more authentic food, my mom or la fiesta. it was just the best decision to pick. if you are planning to go, don't doubt it. the nachos, the margarita, everything. i honestly, recommend it. price, not expensive, hey! don't forget, you are in the middle of downtown, do not expect taco shop prices of $1.71 per taco, you know that is more pricey. anyways, just go, and do not drive to get there because in Gaslamp, you can't get there easily.
Pros: everything. margaritas, appetizers, service
Cons: mentioned before, DO NOT DRIVE IN GASLAMP
