Went to this Mexican restaurant while in Pendleton Oregon and found the food to be really good and the service was outstanding. We highly recommend having dinner here if you get the chance. Definitely worth doing a five start dinner. read more

Food: we had a party of 7 and it was about 8:30PM and they closed at 9PM so we arrived a little late ish. We wanted to order an assortment of items however the restaurant was out of rice, avocados and fried ice cream... it was super disappointing. Ambiance: it's a decent sized restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Well considering where it is, how hot it was, and who I was with... we had fun and enjoyed some good food and excellent service. YELP Short Answer - Yes for sure indoor seating but it is hot, so outdoor may be a better option if there is no AC. Location: Downtown with lots of parking option, very nice location. Buildout: Nothing bad to say other than it was just okay. I believe on our visit it was 90 degrees inside so rather uncomfortable and aromatic if you know what I mean. We sat outside and it was hot but better than inside. Menu: Pretty standard about what I expected, good choices. Food Prep: Nicely done, and a surprise as all of our meals looked like someone cared as much about the ascetics as they did the flavor. Food Quality: Excellent well cooked, good seasoning, great to taste. Warning the salsa was firecracker hot glad I had a margarita nearby. Ordered Carne Asada, large portion, huge plate, finished half so order down or share. Waitstaff: Fun, nothing fancy here but very nice people working hard and well tipped, they deserved it. Value: Yes it was there, i'd say a great value watching everyone working so hard and all having that can-do attitude serving outdoors when it was 100 plus in the shade. For sure worth a visit if you're in town, it is nothing fancy by perfect. read more

This local gem is located just 5 mins off of the highway and for a good sit down meal, it's worth it! I had the fiesta steak burrito and it was to die for. The waitress greeted us at the door and promptly sat us in a booth followed up with complimentary chips and salsa. The decor is traditional Mexican. read more

Joe's Fiesta Mexican Restaurant - My half eaten but can't wait to rave about fiesta steak burrito! Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Pendleton, Oregon

I had the chicken mole. It was pretty good. A bit sweeter than I was expecting, but that's's okay. Also, it was not a whole chicken breast, it was shredded into small pieces . My only complaint is that the portion was fairly small. I was the only person in the restaurant until I was about to leave. Nice atmosphere. read more

Great fajitas, good service and the place is clean! I've only eaten the fajitas and carne asada but both were cooked perfect and tasted delicious read more

Absolutely the place to go in Pendleton! Incredible customer service and friendly home feel! Food was perfect, exactly the way I like my spice! Thank you! read more

The food and service is good but I can't say it is great. More Americanized than I prefer. Tamales were dry and needed salsa to provide moist and flavor. Burrito was good but nothing that would call me back. In the center of town I suspect transient visitors and tourists make up much of their business. Good but no need to rush back. read more

I came in alone just looking for a to go order, the sweet lady who greeted me encouraged me to sit down and even sat with me while she took my order. The food is great and the customer service is outstanding. read more

The food was good, got cold real quick with the door open though. Once we got seated it took over 10 min to even get acknowledged and it wasn't even by our waitress, if they even have sections because it seemed like all employees were just wondering around. We got asked once how everything was and not checked on again. I would have ordered way more drink of I would have had a chance. Needs to have better lighting. read more

A great Mexican Restaurant! Joe is a congenial friendly proprietor that goes out of his way to get to know his customers.

Nice fine in downtown Pendleton. Food was saucy but not too spicy. Margaritas was strong but well made. They were very busy. The service was rushed but that's to be expected with the volume they see. I'll be back to try other dishes. The enchiladas was not soggy and the sauce on it was great. read more

I let one person's "bad" experience keep from going here and I totally regret it. It may not be our "go to" date night spot, but it's definitely top 10. Great location (parking can sometimes be a challenge), great menu, and great customer service. We like to come in on Fridays after shopping at the Farmer's Market. There is a bar next door owned by the same owner, but we haven't tried it yet. read more

The overpowering smell of fabuloso gagged me the enitre time we were there. The food was ok. Salsa was a little watery and the cabbage in the other salsa tasted old. The chips were stale. The refried beans and the margarita were tasty. Nothing special. read more

The food was good, the service wasn't the best. I don't want to be the guy that says "what do you expect in a small town" but...

Traveling through. The Pork Chili Verde burrito was excellent! Tender pork topped by a flavorful Chile Verde sauce. Highly recommended.

This was ok Mexican food. They ran out of rice and gave us french fries as a replacement. Their drinks seemed to be a little weak as well.

The food was tasty. The red salsa was great. We didn't like the cabbage salsa. The waiter was friendly.

Flavors were good, smells were right, cleanliness was good, staff was attentive and active. Had the fiesta steak, never had a 4 ounce steak before, good flavor gone in four bites. All the visuals were present for a stereotype restaurant, but they did manage to excel in the food department, specifically the chili relleno. Not sure where they sourced the flavors from, but they managed to updo the entree plate and the side order. Good flavor, good size. Not your usual relleno. No horchata or jamaicca, no flan, menu kinda limited. All that being said, for a sit down dinner, a date, or a business meet up, thumbs up. If you're looking for next level, you won't be disappointed, but you'll need to keep looking. They lost the star cause horchata and flan are necessities. read more

Excellent food and the service was great. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed my meal.

Great atmosphere and lots of seating, indoor and out. My husband and I sat inside at a spacious booth, festive tiles and brought colors are the theme. Chips, corn salsa, and salsa as and appetizer with a pitcher of water on this hot day. I order an enchilada plate and my husband a combo, big portions. I got a modeling especial and my husband a michelada, everything was pretty great except the waitress too forever to fake our order and to deliver every course. Everyone was super friendly and the food was good. read more

Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. The chile rellano was yummy. Good margarita!

2 stars because at least my server was nice and service was good but wow I've never had a meal at a restaurant that I can only take a few bites of. I am passing through Pendleton and chose to eat here. It seems like the locals like this restaurant so maybe to them it is good especially with having very few restaurants to choose from and being predominantly white. But if you're just passing through and you are used to good Mexican food then you will probably be disappointed here. Everything tasted old and bland I dont know what it was but I found it difficult to even swallow the few bites I took. Also when I walked into the restaurant it smelled very very weird in there so I opted to sit outside. read more

Great food, Pork Chile Verde was excellent. Service was very good and informative. If u like Mexican food you can't go wrong here

Super nice staff and delicious carne asada dinner entrée. The coffee nudge cocktail was the best I have ever had. The restaurant is very warm and welcoming with lots of different decor to look at while you dine. Beware of letting little kids go to the restroom alone as there is risqué artwork in the back hall. read more

Joe's was the first restaurant we got to go into as covid restrictions were being lifted. The service was amazing! They were only seating half the tables but they were Turing the tables over quickly and they were super friendly while we waited for a table and through our whole meal. The food was good. We had a couple of special orders and they came out exactly right. I can't wait to visit again!! read more

Great food and wonderful employees. The salsas are worth noting! We sat on the restaurant side, so I can't speak to the bar but it looked rad. read more

The service wasn't very good. They didn't check back after providing the meal. We had a split plate and they didn't bring the extra plate as requested. Our son was asked what kind of tortillas he wanted and they were never brought. We were ready to leave and we couldn't get anyone to bring our check. Food was delicious though! read more

We did enjoy the food, the drinks, chips and salsa. It was a decent meal in the middle of nowhere. If our daughter takes a full ride scholarship to college, we will definitely visit this business again. read more

It's amazing food and great service. Can't wait for the other half to open. Joe has taken care of our family for years.

Joe's has been our favorite "passing through town" stop for the past 5 years, in fact we set our itinerary for a lunch or dinner stop, and it's always great to see Joe and his crew. The new sidewalk dining seating is a great addition! read more

The service at Joe's was so great! Everyone there was happy to be at work and excited to help customers. The food was amazing as well. It was hot and fresh and so yummy! I thought it was funny but great that they were playing country music in the restaurant. It smelled clean and looked clean! Great place! read more

We entered an empty restaurant with a different party of about 5. They were seated first and we were seated immediately after them. We waited about 10 minutes before the server brought our chips, slaw and salsa and then about another 10 minutes before our order was taken. The chips were good, but the slaw and the salsa were loaded with cilantro, which I hate. When a possible 14% of the population can't tolerate salsa, why won't restaurants just bring a side dish of cilantro to sprinkle over everything they want that shit on? No matter how hard I try, cilantro will NEVER be my friend. I made sure to order something I knew wouldn't include cilantro - a chile relleno and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Everything was delicious. My husband loved his carne asada. We have enough food for two more meals The margarita was good, but nothing to write home about. read more

The food okay. Service was adequate. Margarita not good and overpriced. Beer way overpriced .

Highly recommend. Salsa seems to be homemade only sometimes, which is ideal, but everything else is always consistent and great.

I stopped here because it was close up my motel and recommended by the motel staff. The first thing I noticed was that the name is actually Joe's Fiesta, not La Fiesta. The salsa was unlike any I've ever had. After the first two bites the spice and flavor really kicked in. My strawberry margarita was delish. I ordered the Mexican enchiladas and they were the best enchiladas I've ever had. Seriously. The wait staff was attentive and helpful, but I came at a strange time and the place was pretty empty. read more
