    This little restaurant is a great option for you if you like Mexican food, they have from authentic to Tex Mex meals, and all are good. They have a lunch menu that is affordable and happy hour 12pm to 6pm. I'm planning to take advantage of this deal and have a few drinks someday. The service is good, friendly bartender and servers, the ambience is pretty chilled and cozy. Amazing spot here in Johnstown.

    This is a really good Mexican restaurant... The food was really good. The decor is cool. The environment was enjoyable. My only criticism was that the wait staff was not really friendly but not in a rude way but more of an awkward way. It's really a good place for dinner.

    Chicken Fajitas   After 3pm

    After reading the reviews I was not sure what to expect. I bought it as take out since the reviews for in restaurant dinning was not great. The chicken had good flavor and was not dried out like a lot of places. The beans were over cooked. Other than that I would eat it again.

    Sangria with chips and salsa

    Hubby and I decided to go out and find a new place to eat. Picked Johnstown and we decided on Mexican food. Looks small on the outside look but once it opens up. Way more seating than I thought there would be. Once inside we were seated right away. Greeted with chips and salsa. I ordered a Sangria and Hubby a tea. He ordered Enchiladas Rancheros and I the Tacos EL Pastor. Food came out quick and hot. The portion size blew me away. My pic tells it all. My tacos were overly filled with meat and I'm not complaining one bit. My husband said the mole sauce was excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner and we will be back to try something new next time. The staff was very friendly and took great care of us. Thank you . Be back soon.

    Consistent fast service and good food. Nothing stands out as spectacular, but everything we have had has been good. It is your typical small town Mexican restaurant. Lots of parking in the parking area and an outside seating area when it is nice out.

    Reminds me of any hometown Mexican restaurant. Nothing fancy- but downright delicious . I always order the quesadillas Mexicanas, and the chicken and beef tips are super flavorful. Service is quick and easy and you won't be disappointed. Price is right, and kids meals are great too.

    Taco Tuesday!
    Keri G.

    Wanted to update my review, as this place has really stepped up their game. What was once good is now exceptional. Taco Tuesday is a must-do with tacos priced so low that you won't think twice about ordering a giant frozen margarita as well! Great service with high quality food and generous portions.

    I'm always overwhelmed by Mexican menus, but having a one pager for lunch deals helps a lot. Free chips and salsa! Why wouldn't they? I got the lunch pick two and picked a chicken quesadilla (loaded with flavor and with chicken!) and bean tostada, which looked like a salad and was so perfect. It also came with rice and beans. My husband ordered a chimichanga and enjoyed it. Our kindergartner had a cheese quesadilla with apple slices. Yum yum. The peach margarita was delicious and it was definitely enough for us to split since I drink pretty lightly. The colored sugar on the side was festive.

    Hubby & I were driving through this small town & decided to stop to get some tacos to go. We sat at the bar so we could place a to go order. We were asked if we wanted a drink & we replied that we wanted to order tacos to go. I also asked for chips & salsa while we waited. The tortilla chips were good but the salsa was meh. We were ignored for at least 15 minutes until finally someone got around to taking our order. I got a beef hard taco ($3.25) & a guacamole appetizer ($4.75). Hubby ordered a chicken soft taco ($3.99) & Xango ($6.99) which is "creamy cheesecake wrapped in a pastry fried tortilla" for dessert. When our food came, we sat outside to eat. The tacos were tasty but small. The guacamole was in a tiny 2 oz container. The "cheesecake" was below average. Would I eat here again? Maybe...to try their "Pick two lunch combo" ($8.95).

    Gigantic vessel of Sangria!  Yum!

    We really enjoyed our food and drinks on our first visit here. The complimentary salsa is just the way I like it - smooth with a little zip and lots of flavor. It is just right for the free chips. The sangria was refreshing and the on rocks margaritas were delicious. The Taco Supremo was too much goodness to finish in one sitting. The Fish Tacos, Tacos al Pastor, and Shrimp Tacos were all done well and were nicely presented. The chef at Fiesta really knows what he's doing. The Chocolate Brownie Cake he whipped up was fantastic. The service was also a plus. You don't always get smiling, efficient, and attentive servers these days. It was a wonderful added benefit to our afternoon out. Fiesta del Rio is a nice addition to the dining options in Johnstown. It's also worthy of the 35-minute drive from the far side of Columbus. We'll definitely be back.

Worst service ever and this is from a former food server. The three of us each ordered two ala carte beef tacos. The bill was over $50. See attached. Gabi assured us we could order ala carte as we told her we did not want a full meal and wouldn't be able to eat the rice and beans. But $7 per taco? Seriously? That is outrageous and certainly not what would constitute Ala carte prices. Two drinks at $4.99 each? Gabi, the waitress, was inattentive and did not bring extra napkins or check back to see how we liked the food. She also did not ask if we wanted chips and salsa. We would have paid for them. When we asked for a dish of salsa for each of us, she brought one and asked if we could share. Um, no. When we said we each wanted our own, she grudgingly brought a second dish. She did not bother to clear plates when two of us clearly finished before our companion. After we paid the bill, she walked over and asked if we were finished with our plates. Well, they were neatly stacked in the center of the table with silverware and napkins on top so it would appear so. She stood there until I slid the plates toward her so she didn't have to bend to pick them up. So lazy and appeared to be intent upon exerting the least amount of energy necessary. Service was minimal, surly, and inefficient. Next time, I will go to Chipotle. It was a Tuesday evening at 7 pm and there were like three other tables in the entire place with three waitress working. Would not recommend this place at all!

The marinated pork, cheese sauce, fresh chips, chunks of pineapple, sour cream and salsa verde just came together well. Bonus points for the cheese sauce. Not to mention I watched him prepare everything thru the glass counter. He's back there having fun then brings your food out with a smile. Love it. If it were super busy I don't know how he would keep up, but I appreciate his hustle. Yelp, your recommendation didn't disappoint.

Two things I can ecstatically recommend: their house guacamole and their margaritas. Their hearty and bold guacamole is made fresh to order right at your table and it's become our favorite guacamole. We love their mango margaritas. We have found chunks of mango in ours, and make certain to always get the rims coated with tajin because they use tamarind to get the spice to stick to the rim--so tasty!

(I'm not sure what time their Happy Hour ends) There wasn't much salt on the rim, but I actually didn't notice until I nearly finished it and realized it wasn't there. But it tasted great! I believe it was an authentic margarita, not the sour mix. My kids love Mexican rice and beans (respectively, neither likes both), so they only each ordered their side and feasted on chips and queso (the queso was a bit pricey for a large, but it lasted our entire meal). The queso was great and the chips were good too. Salsa was decent. I ordered the spinach enchiladas and my wife ordered the vegetarian chimichanga. We both enjoyed our meals and agreed we ordered those same meals again in the future. Service was fast and friendly and we had a nice relaxing meal. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the indoors is even nicer than it looks from the outside, although they have a nice outdoor patio with some cool decor out there as well. We'll come back!
