    Enchiladas Banderas
    Meni J.

    I ordered takeout as I was staying at the nearby Bates Motel. Basic chain restaurant with bland food. The staff was kind of snappy with me when I asked for sauce and she said it didn't come with my meal, only salsa with the chips.

    Cochinita Pibil
    Melissa G.

    Gran Fiesta was a great find. The inside of the restaurant is massive and beautifully decorated, giving it a lively but comfortable atmosphere. Our booth was cozy--comfortable, though a bit snug for four people. Our server was friendly and helpful throughout the meal, which always makes a difference. The table salsa immediately stood out; it was different from what I'm used to at most Mexican restaurants, but in a really good way. I ordered the Cochinita Pibil, and it was incredible. The pork was tender, packed with flavor, and clearly well-prepared. Even the rice was delicious, which isn't always the case elsewhere. Overall, great food, great service, and a welcoming space. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    I was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is connected to the hotel. The inside is beautifully decorated and nicely spaced out. Their menu has a variety of options to choose from, there's something for everyone. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was attentive as well. The food was very good and prices are average. I got the birria quesadilla. It had a lot of flavor. I will definitely be back to sit on their patio for dinner.

    Seafood fajita

    Went for an early dinner. Place was not busy and food came out quickly and was delicious. Iced tea tasted like water though. My wife had a fajita salad and said it was quite good. My daughter had the special, a hearty bowl of chicken tortilla soup. Even the kids meal taco, rice and beans was weol prepared. I had my favorite...the seafood fajita meal. A coupon helps with the sting of high menu prices. Recommended!

    Fantastic food, gorgeous atmosphere, and great staff! Can't say enough good things about this place!

    Kid's Taco salad

    I have been to Gran fiesta in Strongsville many times but this was my first time trying the Independence location. The decor was very nice, loved the ambiance. Also the restaurant is huge, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Quantities are massive just like their other locations. All in all, a solid spot for Mexican food.

    Steak Quesadilla

    This place has great ambiance and decor! Very charming with a nice view of the city. Also, excellent service. The food was delicious. I had the steak quesadilla and it was tasty. I will have to come here again!

    I came in for a late lunch after my flight into town. I was feeling a bit under the weather so I was deciding between the chicken or seafood soup. I wanted the caldo del mar (seafood soup) but its hard to find a good one so I asked the waitress what she thought was best and that made me give in. I have to say that it surpassed my expectations. It had fish, shrimp, lobster, carrots, squash, cauliflower, and broccoli. Everything to make me feel better. 100% recommend if you love seafood!!!

    El Potosino. Chicken, shrimp, cheese sauce and cheese. Over vegetables, which were peppers and onions. Served with rice and beans.

    Nice, clean, and comfortable. Lots of room in the dining area and nicely decorated. Service was great. Food was cooked to order. And very good. I loved the flavor of the rice. These are new dishes we tried from any Mexican food we've had, and enjoyed it. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. Three others came by to check on us and to see if we needed more drinks. Nothing but good food.

    I just love this place from the decor, service and food. It's simply amazing and I highly recommend it.

    Chili Poblano and Encilada. Rice and beans.

    Gran Fiesta is now my go-to Mexican restaurant. I have introduced many friends and family. The chili poblanos are excellent. I am now getting the chicken soup. It's wondeful. I recommend this place very highly.

    Fried ice cream
    Sarah H.

    We went to the new Gran Fiesta in Independence on their second day of business and we were impressed! We started with the bean dip which is actually a bean and cheese dip (yum!). I had the #7 combo (enchilada, chile relleno, rice, beans), my husband had the cheesesteak burrito, and my daughter had the chicken tenders, all of which were tasty. We also did both the churros and fried ice cream for dessert. The place is decorated in an eclectic but fun style. The servers came around frequently to make sure our drinks were always full. All around I recommend!

    Top Shelf Margarita!  Amazing flavor

    Service is always great. They treat you like a vip every time! I usually sit at the bar. The bartenders are very accommodating and enthusiastic yo show us a good time.

    Last Friday night we visited Paloma for the first time. We made a reservation on Open Table (which…read moreworked well), hoping to land a table on the patio. Alas, when we arrived at 5:50pm (for our 6 pm reservation), the patio was full, and so, after some back-and-forth about wanting a table in the dining room and not a high-top at the bar, we were seated. The vibe was odd, perhaps because we were the only ones in the seating area but also because of the decor, layout, and furniture: not quite fancy, not quite charming. Rather than warmth and graciousness, I felt like we were imposing on the team by showing up for dinner. Undaunted, we pressed on. Shortly, we were greeted by a friendly team member who answered some questions. We eventually ordered the made-to-order guac and margaritas. The guac was the highlight of the evening. It was fresh, generous, and well-presented. The margaritas were also good. No complaints! Next, we placed our order: meat tacos for me, a burrito dish for my wife, and a shared order of the corn dish. The orders came in good time, all except for the corn. When we asked about it, the reply was "oh, so you'd like to add corn?" "No!" I said. "We'll just take the one we already ordered!!" During this light-hearted exchange, we were also promised an additional side of chips to go with the abundant guac. "Three minutes" was the reply. Never came. The entrees were universally too spicy. I love spicy food, but this level of spice obliterates what I think was a really lovely set of dishes. My wife and I both struggled to get through it because of the heat. Sadly, the team's stinginess with refilling water only added to the spice experience. The makeup corn order was promised "in three minutes" and did arrive in five or six. It's a lovely companion dish, even though timing caused an odd imbalance of food temps. When it was time to settle up, our team member told us she would package up the leftovers and would be back "in three minutes with the bill" because she was also tending the patio. By then, I asked, "is that three minutes or fifteen?!" She returned promptly; we paid the bill and headed to the VAD courtyard for live music. Bottom line: great location and intriguing concept. Something is amiss with the training and team support. As for the food, only the guac and margarita would draw me back.

    Loved this place! We came on a Saturday late morning and…read morewere seated outside. There isn't much shade but it was nice to get some sunlight since it was a little colder outside. Service was excellent- our waitress was very helpful. Food is a little pricey but excellent quality! We especially loved the potatoes in the breakfast bowl and the texture of the churro French toast.
