This is a gem of a spot, that is only lacking in one thing... Came here for dinner and got a burrito bowl with rice, beans, grilled chicken, medium slash, and lettuce, with a homemade (yes made in store) burrito shell. The food was good and price unbeatable $9.70, however there wasn't a ton of flavor to the chicken or salsa. It may have been an "off night" but with some added hot sauce, all was good. The restaurant was very clean and staff super friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

One of my go to spots in Chauncey square. Quick, easy and delicious. I always get the grilled chicken burrito enchilada style and add ranch on top. This is a pretty popular spot at Purdue and usually pretty busy for dinner, but the line moves fast. They also run a discount the first Wednesday of every month during the semester. The quantity is always big enough that I can use it for two meals. read more

Fiesta Mexican Grill - Grilled chicken burrito enchilada style with ranch on top - Mexican Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

My first visit here, and my favorite thing about my meal is that the tortillas are amazing. So delicious, they truly taste like the homemade tortillas some of my friends from Texas make. Similar to Chipotle, you place your order and then walk along, choose your ingredients, and select a salsa option. I ordered my burrito enchilada style, which is served with salsa on top. All the ingredients I selected were very good except for the rice which was just average, and didn't seem to have any flavor. I found parking easily on the street but this area does get crowded at times. read more

A local Chipotle-style place offering tacos, burritos, bowls, and quesadillas for a reasonable price. Service is fast and friendly. Tables are plentiful and your food is served on a cafeteria tray to mitigate mess. Lighting is a little dim. Lots of students chatting and a few studying on a Saturday afternoon. Opted for two grilled steak tacos plus rice and beans. The rice could've been a little more flavorful, taco toppings were fresh and filling. This would probably be a staple if I lived nearby just for the convenience. read more

Well the prices are fantastic for the portions you get. Chipotle has nothing on them! The service was incredible the people were so friendly. The environment was clean quiet. Definitely will be back! read more

Stop going to Chipotle and go to Fiesta instead! The food is phenomenal, service is fast, and the bang for your buck is insane. This HUGE salad (basically an unwrapped burrito) was less than $12. read more

Fiesta Mexican Grill - Grilled chicken salad with tortilla on the side. Ranch, guac, sour cream, queso - Mexican Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Great food and great service! I got the Grilled Chicken Burrito Enchilada Style. The lettuce and pico de gallo came on the side of the burrito. The tortilla was so delicious and a perfect texture. I absolutely prefer this place over Chipotle! This totally fulfilled my burrito craving. The enchilada style comes for free, and I totally recommend it. The sauce and cheese perfectly complements the fresh and hot grilled chicken. I also got rice and black beans inside mine, and it tasted so fresh and savory. There are a variety of toppings to choose from. I want to come back to try the nachos here as well. Such a great spot for Mexican food, and the service is very friendly. This is my new go-to spot for Mexican food. Close to campus and a great environment inside. The portion is filling and price is pretty much the same as Chipotle. Highly recommend this place; will not disappoint!! read more

Fiesta Mexican Grill - Grilled Chicken Burrito Enchilada Style - Mexican Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

This place is exactly like Cafe Rio in Utah. Love it. We go every time we drop our student off.

Typical American Japanese restaurant with excellent and friendly service. This restaurant is busy, but the servers are attentive. And the food arrived very quickly. We enjoyed the closed 8n comfort the decor provided. The food is good with a wide selection of busy rolls. Much better than I expect from a restaurant so far from the sea. read more

Literally best place ever. Blows chipotle out of the water, food is so great and can tell that everything is homemade. Love chatting with the staff. Highly recommend, only good thing about living in Chauncey square is Fiesta being below me. read more

If you're looking for a local Chipotle/Qdoba upgrade, Fiesta is your place! Best burrito bowls at Purdue! The ingredients all taste fresh and the tortillas are homemade. Highly recommend making your burritos enchilada style by adding one of their hot sauces. As a Purdue alum, I will always make time for a lunch at Fiesta whenever I come back to visit. Simple Tex Mex food, yet done extremely well read more

The tortillas here are the closest that I've found to the ones at Cafe Rio. They are delicious! If they sold them separately, I would get a dozen to take home. (Hey, Fiesta Mexican Grill: You all should totally consider selling your tortillas a la carte!) In fact, my whole pork barbacoa burrito tasted quite a lot like the pork barbacoa burritos from Cafe Rio. So, if you're looking for a Cafe Rio substitute, this Mexican restaurant might fit the bill. The rice here is not my favorite, but it's not NOT good -- it just tastes like instant rice. They only have one type of rice option here (cilantro lime), but I wish they would consider also offering Mexican rice. The ordering system is set up like Chipotle, in that you tell them what you want (burrito, tacos, nachos or quesadilla), and then you can customize it however you want. Protein offered is shredded chicken, shredded beef, pork barbacoa, grilled chicken and grilled steak. You can also get your meal vegetarian (which does not come with a protein). Because this restaurant is located near Purdue University, it can get pretty busy with students filtering in and out. Also, there isn't much parking on the street. We ended up parking in the parking garage located across the street from the restaurant. read more

Food is good with a lot of customizable options without any additional charge. Service is always quick for students looking for an affordable tasty meal in West Lafayette. Inside the restaurant is usually packed with students and families but also is a great place for takeout. read more

Fiesta is the BEST. I went the PU for undergrad and moved away to northern California when i graduated, still missing this place's food when I was gone. Food is delicious and hits the spot, providing enough veggies to make you feel like youre getting quality ingredients that are good for you. Staff is the best part, Jay has known my boyfriend and my order for years, we literally moved away for 3+ years, came back, and he remembered without missing a beat. One time I misspoke about my own favorite order and he was like "are you sure...?" LOL. The best. read more

I lived in Chauncey Square my Sophomore year at Purdue, and I was sad I didn't start eating here until my last month I lived there, but I still come over to eat here somewhat regularly. All the tortillas are freshly made in house, the steak, and topping options such as pico de gallo are delicious too. It is also a cheap option, where I can have a generously large meal for around $8. The owner is also super friendly. Come here instead of the Chipotle down the street. You will be glad you did! read more

Great service! I came here with my friends and didn't know this existed for 3 years. Lowkey good food and it slaps. Get the burrito enchilada style it's really good solid food! read more

I got a enchilada style burrito. I'm vegetarian so my burrito only had rice and beans. The rice was a little too salty and the sides they give is very little, but I think I went on a off day. read more

One of my favorite places in the world. I have had a burrito like theirs since I graduated college. The tortillas are made on demand from scratch on demand so they are always fresh. This place is so good and they are generous on the portions! read more

Excellent food! This is a great place to visit for some Mexican food if you don't want to hit the different, highly abundant chain restaurants. The tacos here are wonderful, as are the burritos. Ingredients are nice and fresh and they make their own tortillas. read more

A friend recommended this place to me as I was driving through town and WWOWW it hit the spot! Would definitely recommend eating here! Delicious! Super quick and easy to order. Would gladly come back. read more

Fiesta Mexican Grill - Vegetarian burrito enchilada style..... soooo good! - Mexican Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

This is the only restaurant I miss from my post-grad days. Their burrito enchilada style is a must have, esp with medium sauce, jalapenos, cheese, and pico, fresca, lettuce and sour cream on the side. The guy in the front is always smiling and very friendly. Even though I dont live here anymore, everytime I drive by on I-65, I take a detour just to eat here. read more

I was disappointed in Fiesta. Maybe I was expecting too much from the high Yelp rating, or was it an off-day for the ingredients? I ordered one of the most popular items, the chicken burrito - enchilada style - with the cheese and sauce on top. To start, Fiesta makes their own tortillas in the store, cooked on a circular flat top. Pretty cool! The ingredients looked fresh, service was fast, and the staff were friendly. I stopped in for an early lunch, and by the time I left the line was 15+ deep. This place obviously has a following. The final product looked good but suffered from several problems. First, the tortilla was doughy. I don't know if it was undercooked or too thick, but it was like chewing a mushy washrag. Second, the rice was too wet, soaking the tortilla even more from the inside. Third, the chicken, beans, and rice filling were not hot enough. I ended up discarding the wet tortilla and scooping up the ingredients with my high-priced side order of chips. I thought the Diet Coke was flat. Overall 2.5 stars. What are best in class items here? If they can get the tortillas cooked right, I think that is a big draw, and the salsa is very fresh and tasty. The lettuce was good too. I'll give Fiesta another try sometime, but I won't go out of my way for a repeat visit. read more

Fiesta Mexican Grill - Danger: mushy tortilla in your immediate vicinity. - Mexican Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

This is the best burrito I've had around campus! It's a flour tortilla they make fresh in front of you, stuffed with meat, rice, and beans, then you can get it enchilada style for no extra charge to add sauce and cheese on top before baking. Then all the toppings you want are added on the side, like lettuce, salsa, and jalapeños. I got barbacoa with salsa verde and yum! They also have a Wednesday student meal deal with a burrito and drink for $8 and the place was packed. Very quick and friendly service too. Fiesta has saved me from the meh mexican food around here. read more

Fiesta Mexican Grill - Barbacoa burrito enchilada style with salsa verde on top - Mexican Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

My daughter and several other athletes/ teammates ALL got food poisoning after eating here the same night. Enough said.

Incredible food, amazingly kind and understanding service, and true to the college/Chauncey ambiance without being unclean or unwelcoming in any way. The only thing that could make this place better is draft beer! Lol. Their made-in-house tortillas used for burritos (and personally enchilada style) are the true winner here and a must try for anyone in the area. I'm not sure if they still do it, but it used to be 25%-50% off on Wednesdays with a Purdue ID too! read more

As far as Mexican food in Indiana goes, this is about as good as it gets (speaking as a Californian)! Love the homemade tortillas and the atmosphere, and how nice everyone is that works here. read more

Fantastic food. Quick service. Don't let a long line send you away. It goes fast. Been to other Mexican places in town. Never again. Fiesta is by far the best!!! read more

We chose this restaurant because of the excellent reviews, but we've never had such tasteless Mexican food. No spice, totally blah. I had a barbacoa quesadilla and it had mushy flavorless meat and no cheese that I could find. Were there even any jalapeños in the pico? My partner described his burrito as almost completely lacking in seasoning. Boilermakers, why do you like this place? I'm shaking my head. read more

I love this place and their fresh tortillas for their stuff. Best most customizable burritos/enchiladas. I love the barbacoa with white rice topped with ranch sauce. I used to go often to this place in college and it's one of my places that i have to go back when i visit . Serving sizes are large so visit when hungry. Blows Chipotle out of the water. read more

Good price. Good food. Friendly service. Stopped by for a quick lunch. Tortilla was fluffy and tasty. Enchilada style burritoes were food and allowed us to eat civilized using fork and knife. Sauces can be bit less salty for my taste but I guess they are typical level of salt. We chose this place over Chipotle and we were glad (not to say Chipotle is bad). read more

This place is insanity. Best tortillas ever. Quite possibly the greatest burrito I've ever had.

Outstanding local burrito shop. Homemade tortillas and sauces. Would recommend their pork with Spivey sauce. I get the salad and it's one of my favorite meals on campus. Simple and good. read more

Super popular local restaurant that still manages to have quick service and is never too crowded. Their fresh tortillas are really better than most I've had, and they have great quesadilla, burrito, enchilada, bowl, and salad variations of all items. read more

Oh my gosh the other reviews were absolutely right! I LOVE THE TORTILLAS! I've been here quite a few times. My go to is the salad. The portion is very generous! I always get steak. The meat is seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I would say this is a step above chipotle in my opinion! Not super authentic but still amazing. This is my favorite spot for lunch! read more

I miss this place. =( This place opened up my senior year. Opening day they kept giving everyone free drinks or burritos at like 99 cents each. These burritos are huge, they give huge portions of ingredients on the side. The workers there were so friendly and nice. By the second time I came here, the counter people already knew my face and gave me free drinks for like my first 10 visits. End note: this place is the bomb. Great portions at great prices. I live in Socal now so I have been spoiled with the amount and authenticity of Mexican food here. But when it comes to mexican food at Purdue, i will always remember Fiesta and the good memories. read more

If you are referring to LA Fiesta Mexican Food in Memorial area, have enjoyed their fare for over 50 years. Their father "Pappa" as I called him started LAST Fiesta and was such a joy. Miss him.... my children long grown up eat there as well. read more

On my latest trip to the alma mater, I was expecting a liquid lunch with my pals. Instead they took me to a burrito place with a long line. I thought I was going to have to end this friendship until I saw the fresh tortilla machine. The guy put the dough into a flattening machine and then it conveys onto a hot grill. Amazing. My friends said 'enchillada style' is a must. I agree. The enchilada sauce draped over my burrito was fantastic. The burrito was huge, the veggies were perfectly cooked, and I couldn't stop eating. I could barely keep up with the conversation because I was so focused on my burrito. The only downside was the wait. There was an employee on the grill and one on the register. They needed at least one, maybe 2 more to make the line go down. I can't wait until the next time I'm in West Lafayette. Go Boilers! read more

Better than a National chain because it's a local place. The food is great - fresh and delicious. The service is great, too. Give this place a try. read more

This place is the best! A must visit every time I am back in West Lafayette. The tortillas are incredible and fresh made.

This was the staple of my undergrad years at Purdue - every Wednesday night we would come and get dinner. The fresh tortillas they make right in front of you make every option on their menu fresh and delicious. I always order an extra tortilla to go to eat later on. As a vegetarian the veggie burrito was good, I like it with cheese on top and then sent through the oven. When I used to eat meat the pork was the best option, always juicy and filled with flavor. Definitely recommend for Mexican food, the line to order does typically move slowly. read more
