    Chips
    Grace T.

    This is a small non descript mexican place with lots of parking lots. We were attended to the moment we entered and seated. The place is homely and small. Hubby ordered a combination plate and I ordered pescado renello. Mine was essentially fish stuffed with seafood and vegetables breaded and fried. I have to mention that it was super super fresh. The chips we received were definitely made in house. Crispy and delicious. My pescado. It was delicious. I'm not sure I'd be able to find it anywhere else. They checked back to make sure we had everything we needed. I wish we had found this place sooner as we are about to move. Love this.

    This is close to our house, and a sure value for a good meal. Extraordinary it is not, but consistent quality at an affordable price is a good way to stay in business. We have been going there for 8 years now, went through the pandemic and the space downsize, and we still enjoy it when we want our quick Mexican food fix without the drive and complexity. They have a dish though that I really like and that I have not seen on any other menu anywhere: pescado relleno. A crab and shrimp with fished fried in the traditional egg white batter of a chile relleno. The staff is welcoming and friendly, many regulars. Good chips and salsa to get you started for free is always a good thing.

    Still coming here semi-regularly, 16 years after my first review!! Lovely owners have had it rough between Covid and some health issues. Lots of love to Anjelina (unsure of the right spelling, sorry!) and Norma. Tortillas are still fresh and delicious. On this trip we went for some basics - cheese enchiladas plate and chicken fajitas, both of which we shared. Nothing ground breaking, but it hit the spot.

    This place was good. The menudo had a different flavor to me. But I understand that different parts of Mexico season their menudo differently. It wasn't bad. But I like my menudo to have a stronger broth flavor. The best thing I ate was the TAMAL DE OAXACA! The mole had a good flavor. I love my mole to have a sweeter taste to it. And this tamale had it. I loved it. I would definitely go back and get his tamale. I would love to come back try their other dishes.

    Our go-to Mexican joint is Ceja's, but living in Oceanside, we have several other restaurants around us and it was high time that we tried them. Fiesta Mexicana is a small corner family owned Mexican restaurant located in the MarketPlace Del Rio shopping area near Stater Bros grocery and Killer Pizza From Mars. They have ample parking and huge windows so you can see just how busy they are at any given time. They have two doors, but we walked in the door that was open - the main entrance. Today they were quite busy on a Sunday for lunch but we managed to get a table. Chair are padded and they do have booths as well. After ordering we got the complimentary chips & salsa. Their red salsa is OUTSTANDING. We even ordered some to-go after we ate. They also have a much hotter green salsa. We ordered: * Tampiquena de Res * Carne Asada Burrito * Carne Asada Sopes * Horchata * Jamaica * Negra Modelo The bottled Negra Model came with a frosted mug too which was a nice touch. The Tampiquena de Res was essentially a "bistek tampiquena", or carne asada steak, topped with pico. It came with rice & beans, and also a Mole Enchilada. The mole was a little sweet, and the steak was a little more done than I typically like, however both tasted good. The plate also came with fresh and piping hot tortillas. My wife ordered the Carne Asada Sopes and we were surprised that it came with two sopes. She could barely finish one of them. My daughter ordered the burrito with rice & beans. Everyone liked their food. I actually finished my whole plate which is something I rarely do. My only gripe was I asked for a drink menu, but they didn't have one? I asked if they had beer and our server listed the different options. It would be much easier just to look at a menu, so for this I had to dock a star. Maybe our server didn't realize they had a drink menu, I'm not sure. Now I learn they had margaritas too! #ugh Service was excellent. When the salsa was getting low, they instantly put a new bowl on the table. We went through two baskets of chips since the salsa was THAT good. Overall, everything was quite good. With the exception of the drink menu issue, Fiesta Mexicana is a solid choice for Mexican food in this area. Next time I will have a marg

They have the best molcajete and fajitas around, at the best prices. We are here just to see if Cocina Del Mar is better. Long story short: it's not. However, their ceviche is AMAZING. Best ceviche I have had in north county San Diego outside of Dija Mara (which has the best ceviche in the known universe). It is extremely fresh and not overpowered by acidity, fishy smells or rubbery shrimp. The ceviche here is legit. Great. AND ONLY $10 (for cameron). If you order anything here, get the ceviche first. I'm anxious to try their aguachile now. We also ordered the fajitas ("suprema" with chicken, steak and shrimp). Fajitas did not come out sizzling at all. I have never seen this before. Also, there were only two shrimp. The steak/carne was bland and dry. Not great. Wife ordered the Sopes (3) and mother ordered the Enchiladas Cameron. The sopes were okay, but a bit bland. Wife had to salt everything on the plate. The enchiladas had a sauce my mom said was too sweet. She wasn't a fan. For all three dishes to be a miss is completely strange considering the sheer number of 5-star reviews. I want to believe. We must have come on an off-day, but the place was busy. Quite a few larger parties were here, so this place is popular with the natives. We also grabbed a Model and a Corona. Only $5 for the beers! Total for everything came to $117.64 (with tip). I would absolutely come back for the ceviche and to give them another shot by trying a different dish. I snapped pics of the menu so you can see the latest prices. Check it out.

The restaurant didn't have any air-conditioning so it was quite warm inside. Most people were eating outside. We'll be back again to try some other menu items given that their prices are generally pretty good.

As a gentleman wearing a hair net asked us if we wanted our food for here or to go, he stopped mid sentence to say they were closing and we could only have to go food. I didn't realize they were closing soon and wouldn't have minded to have our food to go. However, the employee who took our order treated us rudely and we didn't feel welcome. Still gave them the benefit of the doubt and tipped 20%. When we got home, my sister found a hair in her mouth from inside the food, which grossed us both out. The guy that was helping her at the register stopped midway to fiddle with his hairnet and take it off. Our food was served cold and strange smelling. We don't go out to eat as much since we can't afford it, so it's kind of a special occasion to go out when we can. This experience put a bad taste in our mouths to say the least when we could have really used a hot meal made with love. We will not be coming back. EDIT: Thank you Los Tacos management for turning this situation around and making it right by reaching out and offering store credit in response to my concerns.

As a Cali Native now living in…read morethe great state of Texas, sometimes it's refreshing to step outside the land of Tex‑Mex and get the real deal again. Colima's hits that spot every single time. When you walk in, the person behind the counter greets you immediately -- and not the dry "hi, what can I get you?" type of greeting. You get a full "¡Buenos días, mija!" with that warm, almost‑grito energy that makes you feel like you just walked into your tío's spot instead of a restaurant. Super friendly, super natural, and very SoCal. I ordered the rolled tacos plate and wow... esa porción estaba gigante. I couldn't finish it. What I loved most was the meat; this is what meat is supposed to taste like. The beef was seasoned the way we grew up eating it: a little salty, a little savory, with that slow‑cooked tenderness that lets you know it didn't come from some pre‑bagged, mystery‑meat situation. You get hints of garlic, a little cumin, and that warm, almost toasty flavor that comes from meat that's actually been browned, not steamed. It tasted like someone's abuela was in the back saying, "No, no, déjalo dorar un poquito más. And the corn tortillas? Perfect. Thin enough to get that crisp roll, thick enough not to shatter. None of that flour‑tortilla‑trying‑to‑be‑crispy nonsense. These were crunchy, flavorful, and loaded. The toppings were just as good. The guacamole tasted fresh. You could taste the real avocado which was creamy, a little chunky, with lime that actually tasted like lime and not concentrate. The red salsa had a legit kick to it. It had hints of roasted chiles, was smoky and had a slightly bitter edge that tells you they actually roasted them instead of just tossing raw peppers into a blender. It wasn't tourist spicy; it was SoCal Mexican‑restaurant spicy, which is a whole different category. My partner ordered a breakfast burrito and honestly? That thing could've fed three people. It was massive, stuffed to the brim with cheese, egg, potatoes, and fresh bacon and exactly what a SoCal breakfast burrito should be: simple, hearty, and no shortcuts. Between the portions, the flavor, and the service that feels like home, this spot stays on my list every time I'm in Oceanside. If you're craving real Mexican food and not Tex‑Mex, pull up. You'll leave full and happy. #supportlocal
