I've stated in previous reviews, the tequila chicken rocks!!! Creamy and rich and HUGE!!!!! Word to the wise, always order a side of their house hot sauce.....and perhaps a large dark Mexican beer. . Our servers have always been top notch.....but I do frequent it a lot, so maybe that has something to do with it. Give it shot!!! read more

Disappointed with customer service. Don't call in and order. I have visited this place for years. When doing takeout, it seems they have some issues getting everything correct, but it happens. What was disappointing today was that when I got home to unpack the food, I didn't see everything. I immediately called and gave them my order number and mentioned a few things were missing. I was expecting an "oh I'm sorry, you can come back and get that", but what I got when I mentioned the cilantro was missing was: "that comes with the pico" and we didn't get pico. But online, it has them listed separately (with commas), but I let that pass. I then said there's no beans and rice. He said it was in there and I said there's was no beans and rice with the chicken meals. (When I ordered, I specifically asked about that bc I learned the chicken tacos didn't come with rice so I ordered rice and beans separately.) But for the other two chicken entrees I asked about it specifically. There was a rice for one of those chicken meals (white rice) but I specifically clarified on the phone and was told rice and beans. Either way, he said I could come up and get it but having to defend the order was more than enough engagement for me. I'll take the 'L' and write a review. This should have been a softball for customer service: it isn't like I said a main entree was missing. And I even left a tip for my pickup order. Lesson learned. read more

We had takeout and I ate it too quickly to take photos this time. When I went to pick it up it was terribly busy (Friday night though) but good for them. Parking is not ideal though. The quesabirria was sooo good! I don't get this food often but did have one recently in CR at a popular place they serves this dish and I have to say this was way better IMO. I'll keep this dish as one I'll probably order if going to this joint. read more

I had heard amazing things about Fiesta Mexican Restaurant and let me tell you, this NL gem did not disappoint! I came in on a random Thursday around 5pm. Alas! Happy Hour. The margs were tasty and well priced. The menu is pretty standard with something for everyone. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and it was tasty! The tacos are a bit pricer than others in the area but they are like twice as big. Salsa and chips were great. The service though. OMG. The service is unparalleled. Want another marg? Boom, there in seconds. Need a house made hot sauce? Best believe it will be on your table moments later. Salsa run out? You won't even notice because it will be refilled instantously. Fiesta Mexican Restaurant is the best Mexican spot in NL. They're open daily, have daily specials and has a plethora of parking. Pop in! read more

I have an allergy to TBHq which can be found in oils. The staff was wonderful! They checked their oils and neither one contained the additive. It's the first Mexican restaurant where I could eat without worry. The food was delicious! My husband had the shrimp enchiladas and I had the classic burrito. Huge servings, wonderful flavors, attentive staff. We plan to return! read more

Out of town recommendation. Excellent foud & service. Place was packed so I would say it was great!

Everything I've ever ordered from here is amazing but for me, the standout item is the salsa! It's the very best I've ever had. I think I could drink it! I just went for lunch and spent less than I likely would have at a drive through and enjoyed it significantly more. Service is always spot on as well. It's my go to Mexican restaurant in an area with a LOT of Mexican restaurants to choose from. The best! read more

fiesta is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the area. fast, friendly, reliable- what more could you ask for! food portions are large, and so is the menu. surely you can find something that peaks your interest. the employees are amazing. chips and salsa baskets are refilled before you even finish. It is loud. it's always packed - for good reason! don't go if you have something important the following morning, their margaritas flow easy. oh and the beer mugs are always icy. just how I like it. cheers! read more

Amazing food. Frozen mango margarita was the best I've ever had. Great service, great prices. Will be back whenever I'm back in the area!

Food and service are great. They make a good margarita too. The staff is always friendly and willing to accommodate. Can't wait to go back.

This place is great! The food is wonderful the staff is super friendly. Great atmosphere and one of my favorite places to go for Mexican food. If you like Guacamole, they make your order fresh right before they bring it to your table. The Margaritas are , especially the Watermelon Marg with Tajin on the rim. read more

Great food! Carnitas platter was very flavorful. Service was prompt and courteous. The ambiance was good.

Amazing food and drinks! Love the atmosphere and the service was fantastic! I loved coming here with my family and friends they are super accommodating read more

First and foremost, the staff was SO kind, every single one! The food was very good, I got the Pollo Loco but with steak instead of chicken and it was very yummy and way more food than I expected! The margaritas are also very good and extremely well priced for the pitcher! It was constantly busy on a Saturday night and so it was pretty loud, also wish there was more of a waiting area. Great overall, though! Would definitely return. read more

Fiesta Mexican Restaurant - Pollo Loco with Steak - Mexican Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

Service was horrible. One of us had to get up and go ask where our order was, because after taking the order, the waiter never came back . We wanted another drink but we skipped it. Our plates came separately so we all couldn't eat together. The plate was hot but the food was cold . The waiter was extremely rude when we asked why it took so long to get our order, over others who came in after us. This experience doesn't rate even one star. read more

We love this place. The Shaker Margaritas are great! I usually get the Santa Fe Chimichanga and the chicken is always spiced well and is tender. Friendly servers. Carry out is good as well. Sometimes we just get shaker margaritas and chips for pick-up to watch a movie at home. read more

The service is like a well-oiled machine. The wait staff is so attentive, detail oriented and friendly. The food is great. You get huge portions for good prices. The pitchers of margaritas are a great deal. And other than the house margarita, they are pretty strong! Their guacamole is the best in-restaurant guacamole I've had. The restaurant is a little loud, but it all goes with the energetic atmosphere. read more

The food is amazing, anything you get will be great. Drinks are also awesome. The waiting staff is wonderful and I have never had a problem with anyone there in the probably 100 times I've been there. Clean and tidy restaurant, selection of tvs with different things playing. During Covid they had the best system that I witnessed during the pandemic when all things closed and I picked up food for my family close to once a week during that. This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant, and you know that means something with how many we have read more

The staff was very attentive being sure to refill drinks and chips before you ever had to ask. Salsa was perfection. Steak on both nachos and tacos was perfectly cooked, not tough at all. The chicken taco was shredded, love that! Very reasonably priced. Margs were strong! read more

I've been here several times and never been disappointed. The servings are huge, the fajitas easily become three meals for me. The chips and salsa are decent, especially with the hot salsa but not near the top of my favorites list. The real prize are the drinks which definitely never skip on the alcohol, this is a great place to go with some friends at the start of a night out but definitely not somewhere I'd recommend for a nice quiet evening as it always seems to be bustling and pretty loud. read more

Mexican food is one of those types of food in which it is so easy to do it poorly, so easy to be average, and very hard to find a place that is above mediocre. Well, I found a place in my town which rises above mediocrity. Yo soy un happy camper! This used to be Casa Azul and I was very disappointed when they switched to a different restaurant. I had not been there since the switch but was looking forward to it. Of course, anytime one of your favorite restaurants changes you go through the seven stages of grief. When it is your favorite Mexican restaurant I believe you actually go through those stages two or three times. My all-time favorite Mexican dish is choripollo. Most places serve it, very few places serve it well. Typically you find this dish to be saturated in oil and grease. While it is wonderful when you are eating it, 30-45 minutes later, you are regretting your life choices. Oy. Not here! This dish was served perfectly. The chicken and chorizo were just the right combination of tender and slightly crispy. The flavor exploded in your mouth. There was literally a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. The hostess was incredibly friendly and sat us right away. The service was attentive but not stalker overbearing. The price point was perfect. The only reason I give this for instead of five stars is that I felt the choripollo should have been served with a side of refried beans instead of just rice. we are most certainly looking forward to going back again read more

Muy bien! Service was fast! We asked for 2 house margs and got them in a blink of an eye! Chips and salsa were also on the table right when we sat down. We got a chimichanga and the pollo loco and our food too was to our table in less than 10 minutes! Presentation was beautiful, amount of food was plentiful (took home leftovers), and the waiters were constantly asking if we needed refills - pushed those margaritas ! We were very happy with the food, drinks, and service... may be our new go to Mexican restaurant as nosotros amamos! read more

Stopped in on the Friday night for tacos and enchiladas. The wait staff was quite distracted and ordering seem to be a challenge... The staff is more concerned about saving us money, then giving us what we wanted. There's room for improvement with the quality of food, but it was OK Mexican for North Liberty. There's some room for improvement but if you're really looking for, a place to stop in this will work. I encourage them to focus on their flavors and training the staff. read more

Solid authentic mexican, served with a smile by an attentive staff, with mega- margaritas and ice-cold cervezas. An attractive interior makeover makes this North Liberty's newest secret, but with all these boxes checked, this secret ain't gonna last.... read more

ALWAYS, always get great food, hot chips, the best salsa, entrees are freshly made, piping hot and FAST! Hands down the BEST authentic Mexican in the tri-city area! Amazing! read more

An absolutely favorite among my friend group, Fiesta is quickly becoming my most common spot to grab a meal! While I don't think it has the ambiance, atmosphere, or flair of some of my favorite spots in the area, Fiesta definitely has an upper hand on the other low cost Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. The house margarita packs a punch for $5 ($3 during Happy Hour) and the classic margarita ($9) comes with a fun shaker that is essentially a free refill. There are actually some decent healthy-ish options here. The burrito bowl is a suped up version of the Chipotle favorite and I have been a big fan of the Taco Salad the two times I've had it. The street tacos are flavorful and large, with carne asada being the star of the group. Free chips and salsa of course (ask for the spicy salsa). Mi amigos love the Choripollo, Quesadilla, and their burrito offerings. There is a lot to explore and I haven't seen anyone be disappointed yet. It's always busy here but the staff whirrs around at peak efficiency to get you in and out. Check it out for a fast, affordable, and fun dining experience! read more

As far as Mexican food goes, this place is a hit. But honestly in ever aspect Fiesta absolutely shines. Staff: Extremely friendly, helpful, attentive, and hustle the entire time they're there! Value: Expect to leave full. Very FULL. You get more than what you pay for. Food: High quality, authentic, and some unique menu options. I recommend the California Burrito. May want to split it with some one as it's HUGE! I highly recommend Fiesta. It's a fun and energetic atmosphere. Good for large or small groups. read more

Great selection of proteins, veggies, and sauces. Our family really enjoyed this place, although we didn't particularly like that the guys cooking weren't wearing hair nets so for that I'll rate it 3 stars otherwise it would've been a 5 star experience. read more

Fiesta was a great addition to the restaurant scene in North Liberty. It's not a big place but they make the most of the space and the food has been great each time I've dined there. The menu is large, but not overwhelming, and it keeps me wanting to try new items. Make sure you starting looking at the menu to find what you want instead of focusing only on the chips and salsa when you sit down, because the staff is working at a quick pace (but they also don't rush you, if you need the time). On my most recent trip I had the carnitas and wasn't let down. The meat is flavorful and, as with their other specialty plates, the portions are hearty. I'd also recommend the choripollo if you're looking for a meal to fill you up. read more

5:30 and the place is packed with a wait list. It's just that GOOD !! Efficient handling of wait list plus super good service means no long wait. Once seated we found the efficiency to be continued. Our waiter got all of our complicated orders correct and fast. Every aspect of the visit to Fiesta was perfect. Only one issue: they are so busy it's very noisy. We were lucky to get a back corner table. Highly recommended dine out in North Liberty read more

They should tell their waiters (1 in particular) to not harass the customers, basically begging, to take shots. It was lunch time, I was trying to have a good time with my friend who I hadn't seen in a while, before I had to work. This waiter came over with 3 shots and wouldn't leave us alone until my friend finally took the shot and he left us alone. Then continued to bother us to take more shots for the remainder of our meal. Salsa and chips 2/5 Food 3/5 read more

Kinda surprised at this place. Had no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly satisfied. Decent ambiance, not too big, not too small. Clean. Inviting. The menu selection is super large, so you should find SOMETHING that you like. I personally like having plenty of choices. They also seemed to have a decent (alcoholic) beverage selection, but I'm pregnant so can't indulge... Chips and salsa come to the table immediately, and were tasty. Always a good sign. The service was friendly and expedient. We liked our orders. We'd definitely go back. read more

Fiesta is a fun and tasty Mexican restaurant, serving up satisfying albeit not fully authentic fare. I got the Choripollo, an inventive combination of chicken and chorizo topped with cheese sauce. The dish was very flavorful and filling. The overall leaning of some of the dishes is more Tex-Mex or Cali-Mex (not my preference), for example with shredded lettuce and cheese, and with flour tortillas instead of corn. However, I still enjoyed the meats, and the menu has enough variety that you should be able to find something you'll enjoy. Service was friendly and prompt, and prices are fair. The restaurant inside is also quite large, with fun decorations, a good energy, and different seating arrangements (e.g., booths and tables), depending on your preference. Overall a fine option for Mexican & Mexican fusion cuisine. read more
