And La Fiesta made me think, maybe more of these places are actually good Mexican food, but they cater to the clientele. Because I read through the whole menu, through various feature dishes and specialties, and finally the chef's specials on the back page. And peppered throughout, I found hints of the real thing. I ended up getting #67 - four assorted tacos with different meats, I chose flour tortilla. They came out super authentic, delicious, loaded with meat. Wonderful variety of flavors. The side of guac I asked for was packed, great consistency, mostly avocado - because yes, I've had it runny and full of cucumbers or onions etc. This was real Mexican food, and I think it's a mindset "if someone wants to order our authentic specialties, that's great. If not, they'll get the American foods we know how to prepare." Not much else - service was friendly enough, place was rather sparse both in decor (at least no overdone Mexickitsch) and attendance but I get that it's Sunday night, and most other places were closed. I gather that's a Sunday thing in the South, and I'm grateful I found and chose La Fiesta over anything else that might have let me in.

I called and made a takeout order, and it was ready in about 20 minutes for pick up. I ordered the 101 which is chicken and shrimp on a bed of rice, covered with cheese. They give you good portions and have reasonable prices. COVID: I was a little disappointed with the COVID efforts. Many people weren't wearing masks, including a few people picking up orders and a couple of cashiers/ hostesses I interacted with. Also, it was pretty packed. Sustainability: Could improve. Food was packaged in aluminum, and placed into a paper bag. However, lots of napkins and plastic.

Service is always great - led by manager Alonzo, the staff go the extra mile so you can enjoy your meal. The restaurant is in the old Twix and Between restaurants, but the location has been redone in bright colors, flowers, greenery and Mexican pottery. Just a word of caution to limit the add-ons. Adding extra jalapeños, extra large tortillas will add to the bill. Altogether, this is where we go when we want a good meal without traveling a long ways.

This place is currently located at 404 Highway 28, only a mile or so off I20-59 in Livingston, AL…read more I tried to add a new location, but it appears to not have been accepted by Yelp. Anyway, dining choices in this part of the state are limited to fast food or the rare non-chain restaurant. We had some business planned in Emille, AL, and this was the closest restaurant that didn't involved hot dogs on rollers. I almost drove past this place because it wasn't where Yelp or Google Maps said it was, but rest assured, it is open. Just keep your eyes open when driving down 28. Host was friendly, and service wasn't super fast, but adequate in speed for our needs. Both the corn chips and salsa were good. Salsa tasted hand made, as it had no metallic or preservative flavor typical of salsa from a can served in so many Mexican restaurants. I ordered a taco, burrito, and chili relleno from the Lunch menu. While nothing was stand out excellent, all were above average. I would fully recommend this place to anyone driving through this part of Alabama for lunch or dinner. Given it's location, a solid 4 Star restaurant!

I did end up getting my food to go, because I wasn't hungry by the time the food got there. .... Then, after checking my credit card, I saw I had been charged twice. I checked my receipt and saw the additional charge was for a different amount. I called them the next day and explained the situation only to be told they can't do anything about it or reverse the charge on my card. All they can do is give me a -gift certificate- for the amount. I live 2 hours away. So no, I won't be coming back and I do not recommend this place!
