    Store front of East Lansing's Fiesta Charra
    Brad S.

    Well, I gotta say, this is disappointing to write. Fiesta Charra used to be one of our very favorite Mexican restaurants. And the go to for my wife. Often, if we were visiting friends, she would wanna go there as well. Over the last year it seems that things have changed, including menu selections that were outstanding and price hikes. It's a beautiful restaurant. Always clean. And normally quite friendly. However yesterday being Mother's Day, we experienced to whole different side of the restaurant. To be honest, they are often very good at getting drinks and food out fairly quickly. I anticipated they might be really busy for Mother's Day so we called and asked what a good time was to come in and were told anywhere from one to three. When we got there at 1:30 it was maybe a third full. We were sat. A young lady asked us what we wanted to drink. Our children joined us 10 minutes later. 10 minutes after that our waitress appeared. The boys ordered drinks of pop. Someone else brought them to the table and we waited another 10 minutes for our waitress to come back to the table for our order. Everything we ordered was very common. As we watched the place around us fill up, we noticed that they were giving out flowers to the mother seated. I thought that was nice and I could see my wife watching. Meanwhile, it was taking a very long time for us to receive our food another 30 minutes past. Our glasses were empty. The chips and salsa depleted. And we could see our waitress, but she would never come by the table. It felt off. Finally our food arrived. Over 45 minutes since we were seated. Our waitress came back by and brought refills for the boys. And then was gone again. She did not reappear for another 25 minutes. We watched her with other tables. Finally, she came and asked if we wanted anything else we said no we had to get going. She gave a check. And walked away. I was so surprised that we had such lousy service. It was almost as if we had done something wrong. And on top of it , we paid our bill gave a tip and she didn't even offer my wife a flower from Mother's Day. It was a bizarre and somewhat hurtful experience. I'm not very apt to go back. It was a lot of money for what we received. And for a special day to be singled out, it didn't feel good. And that's sad because it is indeed one of our favorite places to be in East Lansing.

    Fiesta Charra by Costco is a lovely place. I give them full credit for being festive -- we visited around Halloween and they had some cool Dia de los Muertos decorations. As I write this on my phone (December 2023) they're in Christmas mode, and they've gone all out on lights, ornaments, and glowing Santa Clauses (more than one). We're slowly working our way through the menu and can report that we are fond of their birria tacos and carne asada tacos. House margaritas are strong and yummy. They have Dos Equis on tap. Nothing to complain about over here.

    This delightful cantina is near our home and we visit often. It is convenient to our family and friends so makes a great meeting place during busy weeks for a quick meal and visit! The staff is friendly, efficient willing to join in the fun of a birthday celebration with sombreros and sarapes! The food is authentic Mexican fare, and the Margaritas are unbeatable. Good value all around!

    Dan and our huge portions of Mexican food.

    This has got to be one of our favorite restaurants in the greater Lansing area. After multiple menu choices, I finally found a favorite dish. It's HUGE and TASTY. Just the right amount of spice.

    If you have not been here... you are missing out. Phenomenal food and a tradition for family now

    Lime House Margarita

    Friendly staff, quick service, flautas and carne asada tacos were very good. The bartenders root beer and lime margarita were great as well.

    Cheese enchilada, bean burrito, bean tostada

    Ordered on grub hub and the delivery driver got lost causing a huge delay. The driver was very nice so that's the reason for the 2 stars. Received cold mush that was covered in a cold cheese sauce. The tostada was completely mush and the other food was cold. No hope in reheating it. I ordered vegetarian option A; which included a bean burrito, cheese enchilada and a bean tostada. I was surprised the dinner didn't come with rice or beans. Maybe I'll try them again...in person to give an updated review.

    Ordered the Vallarta Special- would have liked a bigger piece of steak, but it was flavorful, vegetables were delicious, rice was ok, horchata was delicious, Jamaica (Hibiscus) was good but definitely an acquired taste. Clean restrooms, nice ambiance and decor.

    My drink and friends food.

    Absolutly great experience, 10/10 waitress and the entire staff was extremely outgoing. Felt like I was at home. Order the pitcher, great quality for the price.

    These carnitas are to die for and the margaritas are amazing!

    We love this place. I come to Lansing from over an hour away every month for a Dr appointment and try to stop for dinner every time. The food is delicious, portions are giant, and the service is always on point!

    I'm still here in Lansing for a conference and after a long day of meetings, my coworker and I were…read morehungry. The original spot we wanted to go to was packed and we didn't want to wait, so we came here instead. Walking in the place is cutely decorated and has two levels. since it was kind of loud downstairs, we sat upstairs instead. The menus kind of slim but they do have a bunch of different taco options to choose from. my coworker went with a plain taco and I went with two of the French dip tacos. The tacos were good but for some reason I think there was bacon on it but I was so tired I didn't feel like sending it back. Plus, it was dark and I honestly couldn't tell, but I'm certain there was bacon. They do charge a 3% fee if you run your card, which I did because after two tacos and a pop, my bill was $18?!?! My coworker paid cash and she still got the service fee? It wasn't huge but really, what's happening here? Anyway, this place isn't bad but I don't know that I'd return in the future for a variety of reasons but I can see why people do love it here as it's a fun place to watch sports on TV and hang out with friends!

    I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed with my experience at this barrios location. The…read moreservice was great, but the ambiance and food were just ok. I got two "build your own" tacos. For meats, I picked the chorizo + black beans & the seasoned pulled chicken. I will say it was fun to build my own & pick all the toppings I wanted. The food quality was just ok. I was a bit disappointed by the flavor (was expecting more flavor and more tender meat). The toppings were ok, but didn't really blow me away either. The pineapple salsa was a bit overpowering & it all blended together a bit too much. I will say these were my choices - but I felt quality and taste could've been better. Not just from an "authentic street taco" perspective, but also for a "fusion" / new American taco joint perspective. I did try the "French dip" taco from the el jefe menu and it was great! The barbacoa was pretty good too. And the salsa + guac was really good. Ambiance was ok. It felt like it needed to be refreshed a bit inside & we were a bit cold by the door. Overall, I had an ok experience. Fun to build tacos from scratch, but was a bit disappointed by the food quality. Price was great though.
