Every time I lament the fact I spent money to eat there... I had read that this was a good one on the 'Where Syracuse Eats' Facebook page, which can be a pit of snakes at times. I decided to bookmark it, as a 'just in case' I was ever passing through Waterloo. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my mom and I walked in around 5:30-5:45 p.m. and not a soul was in the place. Apparently, people in Waterloo eat dinner around 6 p.m. so the place was popping as we were eating and then leaving. My mom is a vegetarian so we shared the vegetarian combo D plate. I ate the tostaguac and she had the enchilada, and we shared the rice. I normally find the rice at Mexican restaurants to be underwhelming, even at my favorite spot in Detroit. This was delicious and I ate it! (There may have been some debate on who should get the last few bites of rice!) I also ordered a side of their hot salsa. I think this was $2 but it was so good and so worth it. The regular salsa was fine but not spicy at all. Service was fast once we decided what to order. No pictures because I was too excited by an actual Mexican place within a reasonable distance from me! Skip the places in Syracuse and come to La Fiesta Brava!

We did not have appetizers so we would have room for their house-made desserts. Hubby loved the bread pudding and I had the bourbon apple crisp - so flavorful and creamy with the ice cream.

Ordered chips and salsa. And a side of guacamole. I was SHOCKED when the bill came we had to pay for chips and salsa! Whaaat?? Ordered a soda and a tea. Also shocked when we got the check drinks were a whopping $4! We each got a lunch special. Mine was Birria quesadilla. It was okay but not fabulous. Just good enough. The salsa was AMAZING and very fresh. However when was all said and done, our lunch cost us $65!!! $65 for chips, salsa, guacamole and two lunch specials. Nope won't be going back at that price. A $15 quesadilla is crazy. Nice folks though. Servers were friendly but the pricing it too high.

I arrived at 5pm on a Friday evening. After examining the menu it was only a very short wait to order at the counter. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and Mexican platter to go as well as the strawberry berry twist soft serve margarita that is served with a little ducky and a shovel on top! Love it! It seemed more like I was having a soft serve ice cream than a margarita, very sweet but good nonetheless. They do also offer Margarita soft serve flights as well! Fun Mexican themed ambiance, seems like a majority of to go business as it is not a sit down restaurant situation. Food and margarita were ready in a short wait time. Total was $49. I would recommend adding more toppings to the quesadilla for the $15.50 price. The Mexican platter I took to go and after a nearly 40 minute drive was leaking and somewhat liquified. It was still tasty enough. I basically just mixed it all together. I was happy to have made the trip and look forward to trying other flavors of Margaritas and menu items! I'll look for their food truck at events!

It took more than 10 mins for the host to acknowledge us as she was trying to set tables, attend to other guests and answer the phone. We started with the Guacamole appetizer. I've always liked it and the recipe is the same but the portion was much smaller with a price point that seemed high. I ordered the tacos with chicken and they were okay. The person I was dining with had the Burro Rafael. It was a much larger portion and they enjoyed the taste profile. The restaurant featured original artwork for sale which was a nice touch. Overall I felt the space needs some TLC. The restrooms were not well kept and upon leaving the parking lot there was a lot of garbage overflowing into bins and the surrounding area which isn't what you want to see as a patron. Overall we decided we weren't as happy with the experience as we were in the past and may not return.

I also really enjoyed the bartenders working this past Tuesday.
