They all tasted good. Their corn was really good read more

I live fairly close to this spot and have heard good things about it so I decided to give it a try for a weeknight dinner with the hubby. Let me just start off by saying the place itself is beautiful, antiqueish like but also gave me Mexican culture to the max. Which I loved. I visited Mexico before so it definitely was nice to see that. Everyone from the host to our server were so nice and friendly. We loved our server, he kept us laughing and was great with his attentiveness to the table. The menu offers a lot! Lol from traditional plates to vegetarian options. I wanted to try something different so I picked the San Jose burrito. A burrito stuffed with chicken, rice, chorizo, beans and topped with a jalapeño cheese sauce.. it was beyond what I expected. It was so flavorful! Loved every bite lol if you come here, I highly recommend. Hubby got the Tacos Del Mar which came with three tacos. 1- shrimp, 1- fried fish & 1-seared fish. His plate came with rice too. Which I think is great for the price and the portion they give you. We also order table side guacamole because you always need to have some gua when you're at Mexican restaurant right?!?!! Lol. Everything was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff , very nice spot. Go check it out if you haven't. read more

Awesome place, super cool interior and kind staff, delicious food , fried icecream was great

My coworkers and I came to fiesta Mexico to watch the World Cup. We decided to try different things and share them together. The quesbirria tacos were my favorite, but all of them were delicious! Also, their guacamole tasted super fresh so I would recommend starting off with chips and guacamole. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere with Mexican theme and fun celebrations if it's somebody's birthday. Our waitress was super sweet. She accidentally put in an order for one taco instead of three but immediately went to fix her mistake. I had the Horchata, which was yummy and all of my friends had house or mango margaritas. They were a good size and they all enjoyed it! If you're craving for Mexican, this is a good place to be. And they have many TVs around if you also want to find a spot to watch the games. read more

Fiesta Mexico - Chicken Quesadilla, QuesaBirria Tacos, and Tacos al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Have been here 2x on different Hershey visits. The first was great. This most recent time was less than. When we walked in to be sat the Manager/owner? was reprimanding the hostesses and it was uncomfortable. Once he was done we were brought to our table. Our seats had ripped cushions and we sat next to an empty fountain. The food was delicious and hot and came out fast. Our server was kind and wonderful but took forever to bring the check. As we were walking out the door 2 servers were arguing and swearing loudly in front of a large group of customers coming in, seated tables, and it was again just uncomfortable. Seems like they need to do some updates and maybe some team building exercises. read more

Fiesta Mexico is one of our standbys. My daughter has been eating here since she was a little and always request that we go there. You were always greeted quickly with chips and salsa and it doesn't take very long for your food to come. I was there at lunch on a Saturday and we were able to order off the lunch menu. I ordered the shrimp fajitas. It came with a side of rice and a salad, but I was offered rice and beans, but I chose the rice with the salad. My family member ordered a single relleno and was satisfied with her meal. The atmosphere is fun and lively and I feel that every time just brings me back to good reliable, hard-working people. read more

This place was recommended a while back and we finally decided to give it a shot - so glad we did! The place is absolutely beautiful on the inside! The lively colors, decorations, and music made me feel like I was at my grandma's house. The food and drinks... delicious! The side table guacamole is a must for my husband. We have been here twice already and both our servers were amazing and attentive. Totally recommend! read more

On my most recent visit to Harrisburg, we stopped at Fiesta Mexico for dinner. Lovely people, very friendly, even on a cold, busy Friday night. Margaritas (both on the rocks and blended) were very good. The blended was smoother than any Ive ever had before. Chips had a strong corn flavor, but the bowl was half full for three people and had enough broken pieces to suggest we'd gotten to the bottom of the bag. The salsa was delicious, with just a hint of heat. Entrees included a Pizza Birria, which was like a quesadilla, but more interesting. The tortilla had a well-cooked look to it, the center layer of braised beef, cheese and onions was thick enough to satisfy even the hungriest. The majority was taken home in leftovers. Another "never before seen" items was the chimichanga -- available soft or fried. What? A chimichanga is a FRIED burrito. If its not fried, its a burrito. Which, soft in this version, looked and was delicious, but I'm still confused. Finally, my Chicken Mole Poblano. So Much Food! And it was yummy! Slightly sweeter than what I'm used to, but trust me when I say I scarfed almost all of it down -- without the tortillas. A great night out, I know more family will visit it this week. I think I'd like to go back. read more

Went with the work team to lunch and felt like I was in EPCOT. The inside vibe is great and way bigger than you would expect from the outside. Our server was super attentive and kept the drink cups full and refreshed our chips and salsa. I had a torta with birria as my entre, which came with french fries and I really enjoyed it. It was a perfect portion size for lunch. My boss had the special platter or something like that and it was a mountain of food, basically served on a dish the size of a turkey platter. I wish I'd had a margarita, but it was a work lunch! Overall, this place was solid. I will definitely be going back to see what the dining room looks like with the lights turned on. read more

ordered lunch today. I ordered the number one special. supposed to be a chilli relleno and a beef taco with beans. The plate was way to hot to touch. So every time I touched the plate on accident I got burnt. The taco was fused to the plate because one side of it was down on the plate and the cheese had taken care of getting it off the plate. It crumbled when I tried to eat it. Extremely salty food. I didn't see a chilli relleno in that mess. We won't be going back. read more

Ambiance is great, well decorated and perfect music and service was great. Dish I ordered was just ok. I ordered Carne Asada, not realizing the dish only comes with beans. Most dinners come with both beans and rice. Carne Asada meat was extremely thin and not the thicker normal skirt steak or flank steak I expected. Not a bad place but will try something else next time. Food, 3 stars....ambiance and service 4 read more

Fiesta Mexico - Carne Asada - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This large (bigger than it appears from the outside) Mexican eatery is located off Paxton Steet and near Eisenhower Blvd. Fiesta Mexico has a large menu with all the usual entrees you'd expect. I ordered chicken enchiladas, which were fresh and tasty but not noteworthy. What was noteworthy, however, was the service. The staff waa fast and friendly; water, drinks, chips/salsa, and entrees were all brought promptly. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. Fiesta Mexico is a solid option for Mexican food in the Harrisburg area. read more

Fiesta Mexico - Main interior room with elevated table area for small groups. - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Stopped in a few times with my mom and sister. I'm more of a tex-mex fan but was pleasantly surprised by their selections. They have classic burritos, tacos, nachos, etc for those that might be new or sensitive to Mexican or spicy food. There's also a selection of various dishes depending on your meat or spice preference. I usually go with the open burrito bowl or one of the nacho dishes. My mom and sister usually order enchilada or fajita dishes. The servers are always pleasant and check in to see if you need anything. They give you free chips with a medium salsa to enjoy before your entrée or appetizer arrives. I like to order their guac dip as well to dip the chips in. Décor is festive with Mexican/South American flare and the large windows let in plenty of natural light if you dine during the day. Price wise its on par with Chipotle or other Tex Mex fast food but this is more authentic and flavorful! read more

We recently stopped by Fiesta Mexico for lunch and was disappointed in the service. The restaurant was not busy (half of the tables were open.) Our server was inattentive and just could not be bothered with. We got a huge eyeroll when she asked if we were ready to order and I said no, not yet. We stopped here often and have plenty of experience with the service staff. Perhaps she was having a bad day? Or perhaps she is not meant for a service job. We did order two drinks from the bar which took 20 minutes to deliver. We were finished with an appetizer and the drinks still hadnt arrived. The server made the excuse that the bar was busy. We were within sight of the bar. There were no patrons sitting on the stools and the bartender was looking at her phone. Unfortunately, one of our drinks was made poorly and had so much lime juice it ruined the drink. We asked our server to fix that and she said we would be charged for another. With so many mexican restaurants in Harrisburg to choose from, we'll think twice before stopping by Fiesta Mexico again. read more

Still a nice restaurant with good service but the food flavor and quality seem to be slipping, as is the case with all the restaurants in the El Rodeo family. I'll be revising all other reviews to reflect this unfortunate reality. Just not the same anymore... read more

3.5. Great value. Is this the best Mexican food I've had? No. But on a business trip in Harrisburg, we found it decent and one of the least expensive dinners out in a long time. The star of the show: ordering the fresh guacamole to be made table side. That with chips was full of flavor and could have been dinner for me. I had two enchiladas: one chicken, one spinach. OK. Rice and beans ok. I like margaritas that are less sugary these days, more limey. Ones featuring great tequila. These are the big sugary style--Mexican restaurant chain style. They are what they are. Mine was blue! My friend had the daily special served in a gigantic bowl...bordering on silly. Lots of entrees under $15. We left filled up. read more

The restaurant looked really beautiful inside but i took some food to go. I got the taco salad while finishing Wednesday on Netflix.

We have gotten take out before but it has been a few years and don't recall it being bad. But sat down and had dinner and it was bad all around. Wait staff was not attentive at all and it was not busy in there. Food took so long to come and when it got to us it was lukewarm. When we brought it up we just got a 'ok'. They could care less. Staff is busy chit chatting than attending to customers. You ask for service and they give you a look like it's such an inconvenience to them. Food tasted disgusting. Bland watery with some salt sprinkled on top. Not coming back here. Don't waste your time and money. read more

love the food (including vegan options!) and the atmosphere is great. awesome for groups too. We come regularly and it never disappoints!

We had a birthday party there. It was my first time eating there. The place was clean and the food wasn't bad. Service was good. They had Gluten Free options. I would eat there again. read more

Food was lukewarm, took ten minutes for some open burritos with no flavor. Super salty and mostly just rice, same with the tacos. Water tasted like feces mixed with urine. The food was also overpriced. Waitress barely paid attention, usually gone or talking to other staff members, she would disappear for ten minutes at a time. She would also seem annoyed when we asked for a basic demand, like water or some spoons. Ambience felt in-genuine, didn't even feel Mexican, not to mention half of the posters were AI-generated. The only good thing about this restaurant was leaving there. Wouldn't recommend going here, heck I caution you! read more

Fiesta Mexico is a fun, inexpensive Mexican-American restaurant offering strong margaritas and free chips and salsa. The food is typical Mexican-American fare (the guacamole could have used more spice and the mole was lacking in flavor in my opinion). The restaurant is well-themed and clean. Service is a bit slow if you go during a crowded Friday/Saturday night. Overall a fine place to grab a margarita after work with some coworkers. 3/5 stars. read more

This place is right in front of our hotel we are staying at. Instantly walking in I had a big smile on my face. The decor inside is amazing. It is colorful and has such a culture touch to it. Even the chairs you sit in are unique. The place is definitely great to look at and it makes you want to walk around and check out every corner. The host seemed uninterested and irritated when seating us and giving us our menus, but our server was so nice and extra it made up for that immediately. She went out of her way to fulfill requests coming from my kids even and was very considerate in every way. Now to the food...delicious! The fajitas, dessert were really good and we enjoyed it very much. The kids also finished their food which means they enjoyed it as well. Definitely a place to come back to. read more

We went on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly very busy. We called from the parking lot to ask how long the wait is and they said 15min then when we went inside to put our name on list they told us a 5min wait- pleasant surprise! Our service once seated was poor. Waited a very long time for our drinks, appetizers, and meals. The food was good once we had it, but we probably won't be back. read more

Fiesta Mexico - Chicken Flautas - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Despite the cute servers, and my lame attempts to speak Spanish to the staff, this mission-style restaurant comes up short for my expectations for solid Mexican, erm, Tex-Mex food. The chips and salsa are good, in fact, the salsa has a strong kick to them to make you buy beer. But never fill up on these! The horchata is ghostly white and has a weird taste. Almost yogurt like. It was weird and tangy. The tortilla soup is too tangy, almost sour. I could not even eat this. Maybe they put in too much cheese, but I was disappointed. I made the staff take it back after three spoonfuls. The fajitas I ordered were incredibly salty. All the meats and peppers; the rice and beans had a weird taste. Even the guacamole had some funky taste. Everything seemed to be off. It did not help the food is rather expensive. I burped up this meal later on, for quite some time. Somebody bring on the Alka-Seltzer! I hope not to be back and do not wish to return. read more

Came here with the family and enjoyed the food very much but the wait for service.. Ouch! Pros -Free warm chips and spicy salsa (wish we got a warning for the kids) -Food was flavorful and authentic -Homemade guacamole, made to your liking, and in front of you -Drinks were well made and loved their peach margarita -Atmosphere was very festive with the décor and loud music -Wide variety of choices on the menu, it was very hard to choose. Loved the kids menu. Wasn't just a taco or mac and cheese.. even had a taco salad as a choice! Cons -Be prepared to wait, wait, and wait! Food and drink took a very long time. -Service was slow due to short staff Probably would visit again but wondering if we can call ahead or even make reservations. The wait and delay in service really knocked off a few stars for me. read more

The atmosphere and decor is extremely nice in this place. The seating areas, decoration and all around feel is very authentic. The food is good, but not phenomenal. I had the chicken taco salad, which is my favorite, and it just seemed to be missing something. The other factor is that the shell is not filled very full. The contents was less than halfway up the inside of the shell. The iced tea is also not very good - stick with another drink if you can. The server was very nice and polite. read more

Dropped into Fiesta Mexico a couple times while I was in Harrisburg area for work. It was super close to my hotel (and a few others) The first time I dropped in was a week night around dinner time. The place is sneaky big and was totally packed (a great sign for a local place), it didn't take long to find out why. The food is amazing! They serve fresh, warm and crispy chips while you wait with a nice spicy salsa. I ordered the Fajitas Picantes both times I was there with Jalapeños, it comes with chicken and steak. This stuff was GOOD! The peppers, onions. Jalapeños were all cooked perfectly. Tender with a nice crunch to them. The meat was seasoned so well, the whole dish was incredibly flavorful, I literally could not stop eating even though it was so much food I was full midway through the meal! Seriously, probably the best fajitas I've ever had. Only downside. I need like 1-2 more tortillas because there is so much food. It's getting 4 stars because both times the service was pretty slow. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely worth the wait and I'd be happy to go there again, I'd just expect a little longer wait than normal read more

Similar to other reviews, expect Americanized Mexican food. Decor is tacky and the service is a bit slow. I ordered the Villa Sampler as my entree and the portion size was huge. This could easily be shared between two people. Again, Americanized, so there's nothing really to critique. You can buy the same quality quesadilla and toquitos from the frozen isle at the grocery store. read more

The food is great and comes out fast. We eat here a lot. This past experience was much different as took 18 mins to get asked for drinks! Then the girl who waited on us had walked by several times cleaning two tables. She said she didn't know we didn't have a server. However, the on the rocks margaritas have really gone downhill. Tastes like diluted syrup. They used to be so good. If you ask for one to be made fresh they started adding $4 to price. Will get different drinks here going fwd. read more

We went for lunch. Ambience is really nice. Food is very very average. Price are reasonable. The staff was very rude and not atall welcoming.
