This was damn good food. We both ordered steak plates from the specialty section of the menu, and neither of us was disappointed.

They do not take pride in their food and it shows. My wife said her food was dry as well. We were seated immediately after walking through the door. We didn't get our drinks for almost 20 minutes. The food arrived immediately, most likely because our waiter could tell we were getting ready to leave; I wished I would have. When you walk in there are two booths to the right that are occupied by the employees. This is a terrible look for a restaurant. We were surprised that this place even had a 4.2 rating.

This place was recommended by locals in Moab accompanied by the shiny Google Review and Yelp review I see on the webpages. We were looking for a quick causal bite in Moab between our hikes at the national parks and this place was the perfect spot. The food was package and prepped nicely and it didn't take too long to get our food. They also have healthy smoothies you can order while you wait. We got the: 1. Vampire smoothie 2. Chicken Fajita torta 3. Chile relleno with extra beef protein added The vampire smoothie was nourishing for the body especially after a long hike. The entree was tasty with generous portion size. I ended up saving half of my torta as lunch for tomorrow's hike. The chicken fajita torta was a bit spicy so definitely clarify with the owner if you can't handle spice on which item he would recommend. Highly recommend giving this place a try! They have an extensive menu.

All of the ingredients were fresh and organic which provided a very clean taste. - The quesabirria wasn't greasy, but had a hearty beef flavor with a great, crispy shell. - The sopa, was like the best Mexican pizza you've ever had. Also, the lady working in the truck explained how to eat the sopa since I had never tried one before. She said to eat it like a burger and that worked well since the thick tortilla base was stable enough to handle it. - The mashed potato tacos were very unexpected and are something I'll crave.

We thought surely a hole-in-the-wall Mexican food truck would deliver the punch of flavor we had been missing. It wasn't bad, but it was a bit underwhelming. We were hungry after hiking so we ordered a bunch of things off the menu, including the birria, huaraches, sopes, and a quesadilla. The huaraches were interesting and unique, we had never had that before, but the flavor of everything left something to be desired. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was very welcoming in the little patio area outside the food truck. This was better than standard typical Mexican restaurant food, but we just wanted a little more from them. Definitely check them out if you're wanting Mexican food though!

Bean cup $4.25 + rice cup $4.25. For $.50 more I could have had two more tacos.

One thing I loved about this spot was the misters set up around the seating area--they made a huge difference and kept us cool on a very hot day.

They were a bit on the salty side, but still enjoyable. One thing I found unusual was that they didn't double up the tortillas like many taco places do, which made them slightly more fragile. It's a convenient, tasty, and casual stop if you're in Moab and want a quick meal outdoors with a relaxed vibe.

My group 16 friends were excited to finally try the restaurant's famous Mexican cuisine. As we walked through the doors, the vibrant decor and lively music set the mood for a fun evening. The waiter greeted us with a warm smile and led us to a large table in the center of the restaurant. He was very efficient at taking their orders and made sure to accommodate the dietary restrictions of a few members of the group. The food options at Fiesta Mexicana were endless, and everyone found something they loved. Some chose to go with the traditional tacos and burritos, while others opted for the more unusual dishes like mole and churros. As we enjoyed their meals, the group couldn't help but notice how friendly and attentive the staff was. The waiter stopped by several times to refill drinks and check in on their experience. Even the busboys and cooks seemed to be having a good time, chatting and laughing with the diners. When it was time to leave, the group was sad to say goodbye to the staff at Fiesta Mexicana. They had had such a fun time and the food was delicious. They knew they would have to come back soon to try more of the restaurant's amazing Mexican fare. read more

I was really looking forward to spending money at a locally owned restaurant vs the more corporate tourist traps in Moab. Unfortunately, this was an extremely disappointing experience and poor decision - should have just gone to a brewery. While the food was fine, the staff were both indirectly and directly racist. We were the only asian family in here and our server clearly paid us much less attention than he did to other tables. To add insult to injury, the server also yelled ni hao at us as we left. Really shameful for what is purported to be an immigrant family establishment to be so discriminatory to other people of color. Would not recommend to other people of color and ask that the establishment look itself hard in the mirror and think about their values. read more

Stopped here while road tripping my family across Utah. Had no expectations other than to appease my son who kept going on and on from the back seat that he wanted Mexican food. There were a few places in town but this is the one we happened to stop at and I'm glad we did. The food was delicious and the portions were HUGE. We left very happy and full. Great place to stop at if passing through or staying in Moab. read more
