Stopped by Fiesta Mexicana on the way out of Moab one evening based on a friend's recommendation and... it was absolutely worth it. The decor inside and outside the restaurant is really vibrant and really adds to the experience -- it's a nice change of pace from a lot of modern minimalist restaurants! You'll often find folks inside taking photos with statues inside and the staff will likely offer you sombreros to wear while taking them! The menu is pretty expansive and you'll find all the traditional items you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. I personally got the Enchiladas de la Fiesta and they were great, and I heard similar feedback from the folks in my group. The prices are higher than some restaurants, but Fiesta Mexicana makes up for it with MASSIVE portions -- unless you're really hungry, you can easily get two meals out of a dinner entree here. The most notable aspect of Fiesta Mexicana is the staff. Our server was Ramon, and he continually made the experience fantastic by joking along with us and just injecting comedy into various aspects of the interactions. He and the team also did a great job with an impromptu Birthday song for my friend who was celebrating a birthday that day! As long as you're there to enjoy the experience, you'll have a great time at Fiesta Mexicana. Hands down I have no reservations in recommending that you check them out! read more

Fiesta Mexicana - Chicken fajitas how much - Mexican Near Me - Moab, Utah

The food & service were both great and tasted pretty authentic. A girl friend and I were visiting the area and decided to stop by for dinner after a hike. The ambiance had the Mexican feels for sure. The waiter was very attentive to our needs and quick. I ordered the carne asada plate with a michilada on the side. Neither disappointed. The chips and salsa were both to my liking and also fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant if you live in the area or passing through. read more

Service was horrible! From the hostess to the server. Food was cold and mediocre. Definitely not worth the price.

Average bland, overpriced Mexican food. This place isn't that good. I ordered the carne asana burrito. Charged $20 for it. The burrito had zero flavor! Also ordered the guacamole, and it needed more salt. I was up sold on my receipt for even a take out order. 15% automatically added. Not impressed by this. You'll be tempted! Highly recommend not coming here! Definitely a tourist trap. read more

Fiesta Mexicana - Receipt of up charge. - Mexican Near Me - Moab, Utah

Below average food 3star and atmosphere ruined with horrible bright white LED recessed lights & ceiling fan bulbs. I've been here in 2018 & 2011 and enjoyed it, so we stopped here again in 2025 for dinner. The moment I walked in, it was WHOA, BRIGHT. Intense LED lights overhead & all around. Gave me a headache . Service was good but food was just okay and pricey (seems all restaurants are ridiculously high now). Those lights also illuminate the ugly ceiling & show age. Atmosphere is half the criteria when we choose a restaurant and this was a mistake. I was looking for that warm cozy place I'd been to before but instead got a Subway experience.. but at $90 for two. The guacamole was good the rest was okay, but not "good". read more

Wandered in on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty quiet. Service was prompt. Food was great. In fact, the hubby is a miller lite fan and there must be some sort of a distributor problem as no other restaurant in town had it. But they did there was a little noise coming from the back corner. Sounded like construction. I love progress so it didn't bother me. My only complaint was that while the margarita was good I knew it wasn't made with the infamous margarita machine that always makes them perfect. But I'm not picking now. Really it was great read more

Food & service are both poor. Much better places to eat in Moab; don't waste your money.

JUST. DON'T. I was up all night on whatever the hell entree' I had that my waiter assured me was "a great choice." Probably what he says to every patron. For the record, I had one (too sour) margarita, and my stomach was so bad by the end of the meal that I only took two sips of the second one. Tums all night. read more

I rate a Mexican restaurant by the salsa and the margaritas, then the food and the service. This place did not disappoint at all! Best margaritas and salsa I've had in a long time. I'd recommend the Jalepeno Margarita. For a close second, try the mango margarita. The seafood chimichanga had shrimp, scallops, and octopus. All cooked to prefection ( NOT OVERCOOKED)! I don't want to repeat myself, but "the best I've had". The burrito was stuffed full and delicious! I would definitely come back! read more

Mexican place downtown Moab. First , I want to mention the decor- it is amazing 5 star. Lots of painting and nic nacs. The furniture festive and colorful- some carved. We were seated immediately- service is great here they have a very efficent system of waiters and bus people. The menu has many item and is very easy to read with pictures. Sometimes they have a nightly special so ask if you do not see it. Tbe margaritas are big and delicious!! Beers are cold ,but Overpriced. (IMO). Once seated they bring out chips and salsa- the salsa is quite hot but very good. We had enchilada and taco combos. It arrived quickly and very hot. They lay the tacos on top of the enchilada which is not a good thing- one side if the taco is soft and falling apart. However they were packed full and good they were a bit messy because the shell was falling apart. The enchiladas were perfect. The meat is not overly spicy but add a little salsa on top if you like it spicer like me. Overall everything was yummy, service great and decor festive (awesome). read more

Food was good but very ordinary chain restaurant. Service is very good and chips and hot sauce are good and kept full. The restaurant was clean and nice. If I'm back in Moab I would eat here again. read more

Wanted a snack as it was a late lunch and we didn't want to spoil dinner. Parking available and it didn't look busy so we headed inside. It's decor is colorful and loud. There are even life size figures you can take photos with. They were running a humidifier which was nice. We went with chicken taquitos and a chile relleno. They brought chips and salsa. How was it? Average. Server was friendly enough. But they didn't bring us silverware. The table next to us had to ask for silverware as well. He said his chicken taquitos were good. They are deep fried flour tortillas with chicken and cheese. Topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guacamole. I tried some. It was ok. The chicken had no flavor to it. My Chile relleno was the stuffed Chile topped with cheese and sauce. It was lackluster. They had signage for best margaritas - perhaps I should have tried that. As far as food goes nothing special. But their restrooms were clean so that was a plus in my book. I can't recommend because I got sick after eating here. Mild food poisoning. read more

This was our first time there, and a friend decided due to it was Sunday. We are from Colorado and we all came over the weekend for the eclipse. Never been to Moob until that weekend. First off, it seemed to be like any other Mexican Restaurant from the outside. When we gone in, definitely pops out with their decor. We were promptly seated and handed menus to us. The prices was great, compared to the inflation and this place is in a tourist spot for off-roaders (we all went off-road, and this was my first time doing this). Our server ask for our drink orders and gave us chips and salsa. Right away, definitely can tell chips we made in house and the salsa was amazing. Much better than a local one that we go to in Commerce City. Once we got our order, I knew I won't be able to eat it at one setting. I had the chimichanga, and boy, if they are able to deliver to Denver, I would be in heaven. I had the chicken one and it was definitely hot, as in temperature. I heard no complaints from the other party members nor the kids. But I definitely had road-trip food to travel back to Denver. I personally can't wait to come back out here again. read more

We stopped here for dinner after reading several reviews. The decor is in a cute Mexican decor. The restaurant is very clean. They were wiping down the tables and seats with a bleach spray after the patrons left. What someone called a humidifier is actually an air filter. I was impressed. We were greeted right away and they took our drink ordered immediately. Brought us a bowl of chips and salsa. We ordered a chicken fajita and split it. There was more then enough food for both of us. It came out in no time. Hot plates. Came and checked on us a few times. I would return when in the area. read more

During jeep safari, amazing service, food was fast and delicious. We recommend the guacamole, the carne asada and of course margaritas.

Food was amazing! Service was spectacular! And the ambience was amazing Mexican restaurant! We really loved it and we would really recommend it read more

Expensive , service was not the best, food was tasty. Salsa was strong tomato taste and extremely spicy, only given one bowl of salsa and basket of chips, have to pay for extra. would not return read more

We were hesitant to come here due to the low review on Yelp but the Google review is really good so we decided to try it out, BEST decision ever! The fajitas was amazing!!! We ordered the fajitas for two and chose beef and shrimp, the meat and the veggies were cooked to perfection! I usually don't like beans but the beans were amazing as well! Also make sure to try the Fiesta Margarita, dangerously good. Would come back again next time in town! Highly recommend. read more

We choose Mexican food often, and we were definitely not disappointed here. I could definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients and on top of that the service and ambience were superb. read more

Wow We accidentally walked into this place (Next door to the only liquor store in town!) Wanted food to go. No problem We eat a lot of Mexican foods (including IN Mexico) Great food great prices, large quantities!! Only a few days in Moab and we're going back here at least one more time!! I'm hoping the margarita doesn't disappoint!!! Give it a try!!! read more

Whenever we roll into Moab, this is one of the first places we always need to hit. Food is always excellent, service is mostly decent, and the atmosphere is great. Try to seafood mixta, skip the tacos. The guacamole appetizer is delightful and the margaritas are excellent! read more

We popped in for a quick lunch before shopping and are leaving super happy. Mole enchiladas were amazing!!!! My husband also really enjoyed the enchiladas suiza (sp?) with the green chili sauce & sour cream. Definitely recommend if you are in the mood for some good Mexican food. read more

Who doesn't love an amazing Mexican feast after a long day of hiking and biking? This place was packed the night we came, but the wait wasn't too long. They had just about every Mexican dish you could think of, all which were very large portions with both rice, beans, and often tortillas. We tried the carne asada which was very flavorful and cooked well, and the Grilled Chicken Plate. That was very delicious and flavorful, booked with onions and peppers. Fairly well priced for how big the servings are. read more

I compared a few if the Mexican places in Moab and ultimately decided to try Fiesta based on local recommendations. The chips came out hot and crispy. Generous portion of guacamole. I got the mexicana burrito with choice of steak. Hand down the best smothered burrito ive ever had. Quality chunks of steak were pouring out of the burrito once I cut into it. read more

So service was prompt and nice but placed a Togo order and got a charged a 15% Togo fee as to the food my carne Asada was over cooked and the rice was less than let's say. My wife couldn't stop complaining about the chili relleno her favorite dish. I expected to pay more in a vacation town but over $80 for a soggy appetizer and two entrees that sucked. read more

The. Best. Mexican. Food. My. Family. Has. Had. In. AGES!! Amazing service and amazing food. We all CLEANED our plates! I will warn that the chips and salsa that comes to the table is on the spicy side but it's so good you won't care, lol (See captioned photos for what my family and I ordered) As far as Covid protocols went, patio seating was available but it wasn't that crowded when we went around 2pm. We were seated by the door leading to the patio which was left open so we had good air exchange while we were eating. read more

I'm not sure how others had good experiences. This was our last night in Moab and up to this point all the other restaurants were wonderful. We started with a couple mixed drinks - my wife with a sangria and I got a margarita. I paid $10.45 for a margarita which had no alcohol in it. Any child could have ordered the drink and they would have thought it was a virgin drink. My wife's sangria was the same so she switched to wine just so she could have something with alcohol. The chips and salsa were fine, but we wanted something cheesy like Queso. They brought out what the called chili con Queso at $11.49 which was more like melted cheddar cheese with sliced jalapeños. My tacos carbon at $17.99 was a couple tablespoons of diced, flavorless pieces of steak inside of small corn tortillas with a platter of rice, refried beans with a small helping of tomatoes, lettuce and guacamole in the middle. And don't even get me started on the chili relleno! Very disappointing and very, very much overpriced! If you're looking for Mexican food in Moab, you should give the other 2-3 Mexican restaurants a try because I don't think it can get any worse. read more

Good food, but watch the bill! The waiter was fine and the food was good. The bill seemed high and after we paid, we noticed that the waiter added 18% to the bill because our party was more than 4 people! The only problem was we were a party of 2 people! We asked for our 18% back and that became a drama filled episode. CHECK YOUR BILL BEFORE PAYING! read more

Small servings, high prices, and bland.... I was joking as I was eating - did they count the rice as they plated it? lol The beans were put on the plate and then smeared to a paper thin serving size. The Chicken Chimi came with no sauce and was not fried crispy.... I asked for some sour cream. They brought it and when the bill came I found out they charged me $2.99 for it. lol This place is a joke. They are obviously targeting the 1 time vacation person. Jokes on them - I'm here all the time - I will not be eating here again. read more

Good Mexican food. Fairly traditional fare. Service was really good. I had the pollo a la crema. My wife had the chimichanga and my kids had burritos. Good sized portions. Festive decor. Good for families. read more

Adequate is how I would describe the meal. The decor is five star and the service too...just not a ton of flavor in the food. read more

I was so happy to find a great Mexican restaurant in Moab. Growing up in California where fantastic Mexican food abounds, I'm picky about it tasting authentic. This place has some delicious dishes and the decor is on point. read more

This place seemed like famous and we decided to dine in during our visit to moab. The ambience was alright and the menu was very big. The complimentary salsa and chips were good but not the best we have had. I've ordered the chicken with tequila sauce, as it seemed quiet new to me and was expecting to be good. I was very wrong, its more like tequila syrup than sauce, runny and LOTS of tequila to an extent it wasnt even consumable. Even worse the food that came along with it rice, salsa etc was mixed in that sauce. I ended up leaving it. Such a waste of food. Oh the prices are so high. My order was ~17$. Do yourself a favor and get a pizza right across the street. read more

I had dinner at Fiesta Mexicana when I was in Moab. The deluxe nachos (with ground beef) were really good.

Decent Mexican food with too many options for any one of them to be great, but nice atmosphere and family friendly. Very classic style throughout. Overall I would rate the food slightly above average, was a little bland for my taste. The chips and salsa were delicious. Prices between $14 -20 for most items. Service was ok. Could have been better service if waiter had checked back on us at least once. read more

Moments after rolling into town after a long drive in the RV, we hit this restaurant because my wife was hankering for a margarita. The drink did not leave her disappointed and the dinner was above average. I had the chicken tacos which were well seasoned and she opted for Tacos El Pastor (see photo). As stated in previous reviews, my wife is Hispanic and very picky when it comes to Mexican Restaurants. The beans and rice have to pass the "Grandma test" and so far no rice has been able to live up to such a high standard. This plate was no different but she enjoyed the tacos and beans. Lots of food options in Moab and we will try several more places before we leave. Will we be back to Fiesta Mexicana? Not likely. At best it was a weak 4 star and to get us to return you need to be a strong 5 star. Food and service were good but not enough to earn our repeat business on this trip. read more

Fiesta Mexicana - It was my intent to take a photo of my meal as well but I had already dove into my taco before I remembered. :) - Mexican Near Me - Moab, Utah

Had this place a couple of nights ago. Seems relatively authentic but also exactly what you're expecting to get. Would go back!

We lunched with a very large group (~40), and wow, the meals came out fresh, hot and on time! What's more, the servers were friendly, efficient and professional. My Shredded Chicken Enchilada meal was tasty. Two cheesy enchiladas stuffed with shredded chicken were served with a bit of coleslaw-like salad, Mexican rice and refried beans. Again - hot and fresh! The decor is colorful and inviting. The restroom was very clean. I only wish there were more than two stalls to accommodate us. Free parking, and outdoor seating with misting is available. Recommended! read more
