Went here for lunch today. I looked on Yelp for good Mexican and this place didn't disappoint. The salsa had more of a tomato taste than I'm used too but it had a little spice to it which was good. I ordered the chicken fajita lunch special and my husband ordered the burrito with rice and beans. The food was good and so was the service. We will be back for sure! read more

Second time trying this restaurant. Each time, the food was very tasty. Their warm chips and salsa starts you off craving for a great Mexican dish. I had a combination. Full of flavor! Truly authentic and plentiful. My combo came with one hefty burrito, one tasty crunchy beef taco, one over-loaded with cheese enchilada and one plumped chalupa! Needless to say - I was full! In fact, now I'm full thinking about how full I was! Mount Dora is a great place to relax and can be a romantic place to unwind, with a great plus having this restaurant in walking distance makes it an even better place to stay. Especially if you like frozen adult beverages!! read more

I like it for the friendly staff, and the food is always consistent. Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is laid-back-sit out on the porch on a nice day or evening and sip margaritas! Update: the last time we were there and ordered our favorite-Brochetta (?) a dish with meat, pineapple, bacon and cheese and tortillas to make your own-it was greasy and the bacon was all fat. Still, the atmosphere and service are a plus! read more

I come here a lot, the lunch prices are a steal! and dinner prices are reasonable for that area. For some cheap really good fajita and margarita come 4-7 and you wont be disappointed. Food is def authentic as well. TIP - don't order the ribs!! jesus you're at a mexican restaurant I dont know what I was thinking that one time. read more

Delicious, authentic, affordable food in a family environment!! One of my favorite spots in Downtown Mount Dora... they have a great happy hour, and fresh food served in a timely fashion by very friendly staff. It's been around for years, and there is a very good reason! ¡Muy delicioso! Gracias!!! read more

Atmosphere is great, the Mogahinti (so) is outstanding. The fajitas are pretty good, RNC enchiladas are average. I have ordered the carne asada is the one dish that I have tried several times and won't try again. Very disappointing. We meet our son and his wife and daughter there. The waitresses and waiters are excellent! Mostly family members or long time employees! Overall it's a great place to eat! Love MtDora read more

The menu is typical Mexican. I had the Fajitas Brocheta, which was both unique and tasty. The combo version has strips of both steak and chicken, bacon, green pepper, onion, pineapple and mushroom, covered in a light layer of (real) melted cheese, sizzling on a hot iron plate, with warm tortillas. My wife's chicken enchiladas were nothing special, and she called out the refried beans as tasteless. Service (on a Saturday night) was very slow. read more

Located in Mt. Dora, a few steps off of the main historic downtown square. Friend enjoyed a grilled chicken salad, which was presented like a cobb salad. She really enjoyed the quality and spices used for the chicken and ordered some quac on the side which she was very happy with. I enjoyed noshing on some chips and salsa- the salsa had great flavor, some nice zing and the chips were house made and tasty. Would definitely come back in to enjoy some other menu items. Service was very friendly and food was delivered quickly. Happy hour is 2-7 pm daily, will be coming back for a margarita! read more

This is a solid spot for some Mexican food. They offer chips, salsa, and cheese dip right off the bat, and deliver great service after that. They have an outdoor patio which is dog friendly, and a Grande amount of seating inside. The ambiance is near perfect. Now, I'm not saying that the food has to be so spicy that you leave the place burping fire and farting lava, but come on it's Mexican. Kick me in the ass a little bit already. I especially think the "Hot and Spicy Burrito" should be, you know, hot and spicy. Just a thought. Altogether, it's certainly not the best Mexican food you can eat, but it's still a worthwhile place to stop. read more

Skip it. I only ate their food cause I was starving. Asked for shrimp at mojo de ajo. Dish was shrimp inside butter filled bowl. Rice and beans were over microwaved. In the other hand, wings were very good. I would say that other than the people working there and the decorations, I would not consider this place as Mexican. read more

Arlette is a great server - quick, efficient and non-obtrusive. The food is still good, especially the fiesta nachos, but the chipotle wings were overly crisp this time. I think they're best when you request all drummies. No reservations accepted on weekends, but 2 can be seated quickly, even with the omnipresent festivals downtown. Margaritas are huge and pretty strong - just tell them not too sweet or just get their skinny (made with maestro). choriqueso is something I wouldn't order again. fresh salsa and guac. a solid tex mex experience. read more

Good chips and salsa. Never had anything on the menu that wasn't good. Most recent visit tried the special tacos that were advertised. Soft Corn Tacos stuffed with Steak Carnitas, covered with a tasty green tomatillio sauce. Very good The only thing keeping me from giving more stars is the draft beer isn't cold enough and seems kind of flat read more

This place has the very best chile rellenos EVER. Trust me, I have tried them everywhere and these are the best! The servers are always friendly, albeit a little slow sometimes and the fajitas are good too! Not crazy about their ground beef... it's a little bland but I forgive them because of the rellenos. read more

Very friendly staff and accommodated our party of 9 rather quickly. The reason I rated this restaurant 3 stars is because of a few things. 1st off the bathroom situation is inadequate. The line for the 2 single unisex bathrooms went out through the restaurant. Not to mention it was a little uncomfortable watching people who had to pee dance around right next to my table. Some of our food was good...some was average...and then there was my fish tacos! The amount of fish (which was not much) on the tacos was sinful!! How someone could put that little amount of fish on a taco and think it was appropriate should be fired! Lovely town but if you eat here stop by the public potty and don't order the fish tacos! read more

Tucked along a side street in picturesque downtown Mt. Dora is an authentic taste of Mexico - otherwise known as the Fiesta Grande Mexican Grill. Residing in what was once an Irish pub, the Fiesta Grande boasts both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a decent sized bar. My husband and I have dined here on many occasions, most recently being July 4th. This time around I had the #18, a tasty combination of a chile relleno, chalupa and rice. All were delicious, particularly the chile relleno which was covered in a sauce that has a slightly sweet note to it. My husband had the #1 which was a combination of a taco, chalupa, burrito and enchilada. Again, all the items were very good and he particularly liked the cheese that was used. (Usually, he doesn't care for the cheese that tops Mexican dishes.) HELPFUL HINT: If you order a combo that includes a taco, eat the taco first while it is still crispy. Otherwise, it turns into a soggy mess. I learned this the hard way! The service here has always been professional and attentive. Our drinks and salsa/chips bowls were refilled without our even asking. All in all, if you ever find yourself in Mt. Dora and craving something a bit exotic, consider stopping by the Fiesta Grande. read more

This little Mexican place is a bit off the main path, on a side street of Mount Dora. First impressions were okay...nicely laid out and decorated...But, there were only two other parties in the place and they were going to seat five of us at a little table for four. Typical Mex place you get chips and salsa...not the best I've had, but not the worst....just kind of okay. Menu seemed a bit pricy for what you get, but Mount Dora is a tourist area...Food was okay...just very typical non-Mexican Mexican, if you know what I mean. Service was okay...our server was very prompt and professional, albeit it seemed she was not happy with her job. So, I remain neutral and recommend you see for yourself... read more

Quick shout out to Fiesta Grande in Mt Dora. Last night, due to the Light Up Mt Dora festivities, was INSANE. There were so many people out, and this jam-packed restaurant ran like a top. Given our vantage point the bar, beautiful food flew out of the kitchen, we never saw anything but teamwork from the staff, and it was impressive. Our chicken tacos were delicious and came out perfectly. Bueno! This is not the first time I've enjoyed their food, but every time I've eaten there the food was prepared perfectly. The shrimp a la diabla, the veggie fajitas and the green enchiladas are all winners, and their chips and salsa are fresh and very good. 2 for 1 drink specials, generally quick seating, and separated dining areas keep the noise down so you can converse. read more

This was really good! We arrived at 6pm on a Saturday and it was crazy busy, but got lucky with no wait! We ordered food and it was delivered within 10 minutes! We preferred the main course vs the dessert. read more

Heard about this place from a friend that raved about it - he mostly raved about the Margaritas, not the food. Tried a simple meal, burrito, enchilada and nachos. I noticed the plate was hot, the meal was ice cold. Here's a hint, if the plate is piping hot and the food is not, the meal has PROBABLY BEEN MICROWAVED! The food was bland, pretty much tasteless. The Coca Cola was the best part of the meal. The food lacked seasoning and had no resemblance to Mexican cuisine. The service left a lot to be desired, no cola refill was offered by the server. Sadly, this place can be added to the other mediocre restaurants in Mount Dora! read more

Great apps. The tacos were good too. Ate in the outside patio on a beautiful Friday night! Thanks for picking up the phone left behind on the table !!! Wait staff worked their butts off... Liked the food and atmosphere!!!!! read more

Spotless and a Gorgeous Location and Our Lunch was Just Alright and Nothing better and Nothing Worse and both orders where sent out Wrong and I mean Wrong ordered Chicken Burrito and Got Beef and Ordered No Beans in the Taco Salad and got Beans and order wise the Food was Good and Service was the Problem for Us and With Some Ownership or Managers doing Some Training it will be a Great Place. Our Waiter was just not Trained in Customer Service and Otherwise a Fine Young Man Spotless ,Food isn't Bad at All ,A Great Salsa, Good Beans and Rice, Really Good Chicken Burrito read more

Fish tacos were fantastic and big chunks of fish. 2 for 1 margaritas were delicious. My wife and I sat in the deck during the afternoon. Funny to see all these people bundled up and shivering while I'm in shorts and T-shirt. Guess my thick Wisconsin blood keeps me warmer. Wait staff was awesome, kind and courteous and always spot on with service. My wife had the enchiladas and my parents had chimichangas. All were great and very flavorful. Excellent little place to eat. The reason I only gave 4 out of 5 is because I didn't get a chance to review the kitchen or food prep area. read more

Just finished the best lunch! 5 of us stopped in for lunch & left happy & filled to the max. The food is not only authentic, it's simply the best Mexican food I've ever had. Kids loved their lunches & I loved the variety of choices for lunch. read more

I love this place, especially sitting on the patio. I always get the steak fajitas and a strawberry margarita on the rocks. If you go for lunch, all of their lunch specials are exactly the same size as dinner entrees but for about half the price. Happy hour for drinks is everyday which is 2 for the price of 1 (although they don't bring out 2 drinks over the course of the meal, they give you 1 HUGE margarita mug instead). read more

My husband and I were disappointed in the food. If you like raw onions in your cheese enchilada, it's your place. If like celery in your chicken enchilada, it's your place. Otherwise look for another place. The service was good though. read more

Food was good. Service was good... but outside was SO SMOKEY! It made the experience a bit rough, as non-smokers. Ugh

I'm giving it 2 starts because of the alcohol prices. The food however is terrible. My wife ordered a chicken quesadilla that had more onion in it than chicken! Also the onion was raw. I had fish tacos that tasted like they were a couple days past fresh and been under a heat lamp for a few hours. Also the service was subpar, we requested a table outside and said we would wait. The hostess however said they were all reserved and proceeded to seat us in the busiest part of the restaurant. Not a very pleasant experience. Go for the drinks, do not order the food. read more

Wonderful food. Service was great. My family had the chicken quesadilla, beef tacos, and burritos. The chips and salsa was hot and fresh. The bathrooms could use some cleaning but we went at a very busy time. We will definitely be returning next year when we come to view Christmas lights in mount Dora. My five year old wants to be add that the rice and beans were amazing. Lol read more

Great Mexican cuisine. One of my personal favorites located in downtown MT Dora. Quick and friendly service and never disappointed with dinner selection. Highly recommend! read more

I'm full but I'm not satisfied. I got the combo with taco, burrito, and enchilada and I would have gotten better flavor and variety at Taco Bell. It was just meat, tortilla, and cheese. Am I full? Yes. But I'm not happy about it. Hope I don't get food poisoning like these other people on here. read more

We went to this restaurant for a birthday lunch on a Sunday and I'd have to say we had great timing because it filled up fast with the church crowd. I was not impressed with the house margarita ($5). It tasted like lemonade. For $6-8 you can get premium tequila which would probably taste better. I usually know its not good if it's in a beer mug lol On to the good stuff- the food! The guys ordered spicy salsa & guacamole. Both were very yummy & home made! I ordered Combo D, which after having chips I couldn't finish it! It was chicken enchilada, beef taco & burrito. The taste was amazing & for a person who loves cheese.. This hit the spot! Not too greasy either. read more

A great patio to bring family to celebrate events. Good honest food and pricing. Definitely better Mexican food around but it was very enjoyable. Great service as well. read more

This is a cool little Mexican restaurant in the heart of Mt Dora. The decor is awesome, in my opinion, with sugar-skull art all over the place. It has a bright, open feeling to it, with a bar at one end, and lots of restaurant seating spread across 2 rooms. The obligatory chips and salsa are some of the best I have had from all the Mexican restaurants I have dined at. We went through several baskets of chips, and several bowls of salsa! Prices are a little higher than at some I have experienced. We were here for a late-night snack, after viewing Christmas lights, and watching the boat parade, so the place was packed! Service was quick and pleasant, though I overheard some conversation between employees that told me their tempers were wearing thin. The cervezas were nice and cold, and my wife & I had the beef nachos. Definitely NOT what we were expecting! Usually, I get a plate of a bunch of chips with beef, cheese, peppers, etc. poured over them. Instead, these were individual chips, laid out purposefully in a circle around the plate, with lots of queso and beef on each chip, and the lettuce/peppers in the middle of the circle. Portion size was less than I expected for $8, but it was delicious. Most meals on the menu priced in the teens. Our server was again prompt with bringing our check, and ringing us out. Overall, I would visit again, and would recommend this place, if you're visiting the area and have a hankerin' for some Mexican! read more

Only ok. Nothing special. If you want Fantastic Mexican food drive to Garibaldis in Apopka near the Wekiva Movie theatre.

We are vegans and searched for options in the area. When I saw the soy chicken fajitas, I knew we had to try it. Monse was so nice and helpful and even let us know there was vegan cheese. The food was AMAZING, and we happened to be there for 2-4-1 margaritas too. If we lived closer we would be here multiple times a week. So happy to have discovered this spot and I would definitely recommend to anyone. My husband says "what a joy" about the experience. And thank you, Monse, for making our experience great! We'll be back...soon! read more

Had an awesome lunch here yesterday...5 of us... we all had lunch portions of chicken fajitas, spinach enchiladas, chicken and beef enchiladas, and beef chimichanga... everything was excellent and lunch portions were generous... 2 of us had leftovers... nice decor, very clean and great service... we will be back! Salsa was excellent... very mild but delicious ! read more

When our longstanding favorite Mexican restaurant (Eduardos) closed shortly after we moved to Mount Dora in 2004, we thought we'd have to drive miles to locate another place to get our MexFix. In comes Fiesta Grande, bringing some very fresh meals at fair prices. Their salsa and guacamole are made on the premises...and you can taste that for sure. I always get the Chicken Chimichanga....and this, my friends, is one HUGE, delectably fried, hunka-hunka, Chimichanga filled to the brim with fairly big pieces of chicken and veggies. The sides of refried beans and rice are okay, nothing overly spectacular. Trust me, you won't have any room for the sides after you devour the Chimi...you'll even have some left to bring to your hacienda. The service is always prompt, even when they are busy. Nothing fancy, but attentive. It does get VERY loud in this small restaurant, especially lunch time on weekends. The outdoor patio is quaint, but does allow canines, which I prefer to NOT eat with. If that's your thing, then you'll enjoy the outdoor seating. Otherwise, we have no doubt we've found our new favorite Mexican restaurant in Mount Dora. The icing on the cake is that we can walk to Fiesta Grande. Happy Dining! read more

Ok, first time here, portions large, food, excellent , service, fantastic, they had vegetarian menu items and even fried ice cream, had not seen that in a long time, overall score 5 stars, last regarding the fried ice cream, it was very good, I had regular chicken fajitas flavor very good. My wife had the veg plate with cheese enchiladas and beans a Spanish rice & Chili rellenos, she said they were great. read more
