    Visited yesterday for the first time and loved the brightly colored decor of this Mexican restaurant. We chose a booth and really loved the carved wood seats. We started with the house margaritas, and the medium was well priced and larger than I've seen lately in most places. It had excellent flavor and you could taste the alcohol (which is a good thing!). Loved the complimentary warm chips and the salsa was very good too. We ordered chorizo tacos, a carnitas taco, and a beef supreme taco, along with Mexican rice and a pork tamale. To me, all of the meats seemed a little too salty, but maybe that was just me. Everything tasted fresh, was nicely prepared and well presented. The flan we had for dessert was excellent and service was good as well.

    Stopped in for RI Food Fights Taco Mania! The tacos were authentic and delicious! Unfortunately the service and atmosphere were a bit lacking. I'll definitely be back for the food, but will probably just be getting it for take out.

    Very appealing ambiance at first sight. Loved the authentic look. Sat at very small bar and service was good and pleasant. Food was decent and came quickly. Drinks were ok. Definitely would recommend somehow changing the entrance/exit to eliminate the cold hitting seating area.

    Much needed after a long week!

    Don't be deceived by this whole in the wall gem. Every time I've been here, the food is incredible. The staff are always welcoming treat you like you are guests in their home. Prices are very reasonable. Portions are not over the top, but you will not leave hungry. Tip - don't overload on the chips and salsa (I know, it's a challenge) and don't pass up a margarita. They are huge!

    Tucked back in a little plaza this place offers you great food as well as great service. It is incredibly affordable with daily specials and low price points compared to other. It is definitely on my short list of places to come back to when I'm in the area.

    So let me start with I visited this little hidden gem late June and it was so GOOD that I visited…read moretwice that week! (This is my second review as my first was about 7 years ago and I believe they were just starting...had to give it another shot!) Ok I am Mexican and I love finding places that show our delectable cuisine. This place is a fine example. I started off with a michelada and it was made just right. The correct blend of lime, spice, and seasonings. My son ordered the birria ramen. He is a soup guy and he did not leave any behind. It was tasty and with a little lime it was perfect! I am a molcajete connoisseur and have tried them everywhere I have visited in RI and MA ....and I tell you it is the best I have had! What makes it is the cheesy sauce! My friend and I could not stop spooning it that we asked for bowl to have it! (My mouth is watering.) This family owned restaurant is beautifully decorated. Colorful and welcoming! Our waiter Gabriel added to our experience. We will continue to visit the wonderful location!

    Came here the other night with a couple friends after a long day. The service was great and we were…read moreserved some complimentary chips and salsa which is always nice. The Birria Burrito was good, not amazing. The consome wasn't rich and flavorful like it should have been. Mostly just some beef stock with Onion and cilantro added in. The beef in the burrito didn't have a ton of depth or any of those hallmark spices that I'd expect. Overall, nice space, good experience and I'd give it another go at some point. But my search for excellent authentic Mexican continues.

It was a Saturday evening and when we arrived, it was pretty empty, but after 30 minutes, all the tables outside were filled. They have done a good job of decorating their outdoor space since the last time I was there and it also appears they've expanded their parking lot by a couple spaces which was very helpful on days like this (but street parking is also available). We ordered two birria tacos, one tripe taco, one chicken taco, and a chicken burrito. It did take a while for the food to come out, but the flavors made us forget about the painful wait. My least favorite was the birria tacos. They were different from other birria tacos I've had in that the meat had a red seasoning instead of being brown. It was oily, so nothing out of the ordinary in that regard. But it wasn't grilled flat which was a little bit of a bummer since it meant the cheese wasn't grilled to a crisp on the edges. The tripe taco was unique in that the tripe was baked or fried; crispy and light. The filling in the chicken burrito - rice, beans, chicken - were lighter in color than what I was expecting, but that did not take away from how good it was, albeit a tad salty. The beans were refried rather than whole which I personally liked since it had it easier to chew. Besides the long wait, we enjoyed all the food and the chill ambiance.

    I don't know why most of my recent restaurant reviews seem to be about Mexican food. I eat out all…read morethe time--I just happen to have stumbled across some truly outstanding Mexican restaurants lately. Maybe it's because I live on Martha's Vineyard, and while the Island has plenty of great places to eat, authentic Mexican cuisine is hard to find. Sorry, JB, but there's really no authentic Mexican food on the Vineyard. Fiesta Mexican in Norton is an amazingly well-hidden gem. From the outside, sitting in a strip mall, you might assume it's just another typical Mexican restaurant. It's not. The restaurant is much larger than it appears, has an impressive atmosphere, and boasts what seems like hundreds of tequilas behind the bar. Even at 1:30 in the afternoon, there was a strong lunch crowd, which is always a good sign. The staff was excellent. Jake, the bartender, was a breath of fresh air--friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about every tequila on the shelf. My friends always laugh at me because when I visit fine dining restaurants, I often order something simple, like baked chicken. My reasoning is that baked chicken is the blank canvas of a chef. If a chef can't make something basic taste great, I don't have much confidence in the rest of the menu. That's exactly how I feel about tacos. Whenever I walk into a Mexican restaurant, I start with tacos--hard shell, soft shell, chicken, beef, steak, it doesn't matter. If a restaurant can't get the basics right, I don't expect much from the rest of the menu. But if the tacos are excellent, then I know I'll be back to explore everything else. Fiesta passed that test with flying colors. This is an outstanding Mexican restaurant tucked away in Norton, and if you haven't been there yet, you should put it on your list. The critic in me does have one small suggestion: the music was a little loud for lunchtime. The playlist was good, but the vibe felt more nightclub than midday lunch crowd. At 7:00 or 8:00 PM, I'd say turn it up and let the fiesta roll. But at 1:00 in the afternoon, I'd prefer something a little more mellow so the food and conversation remain the stars of the show. That minor observation aside, I honestly struggled to find anything else to critique. We'll definitely find an excuse to come back to Fiesta Mexican. With an incredible tequila selection, plenty of TVs, great service, and excellent food, this may just be a Mexican sports bar at its finest.

And was looking forward to coming back - well it was as good as they raved about and then some! Wow, from delicious watermelon margaritas and coconut lime margaritas to fresh salsa and warm chips to the entrees that we had, it was by far the best Mexican food. Our table side guacamole server was from Mexico. Our waiter Nick was attentive and personable and we enjoyed his recommendations for drinks and entrees. Don't let the strip mall ambiance discourage you to come in! You will be so pleasantly conteno
