Maribel V.

We had a great experience at La Fonda! The drinks were really good and well made, and the food was pretty good overall with nice flavors. What really stood out was the service -- the staff was professional, friendly, and very attentive throughout our visit. The ambiance was also great, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. I would definitely come back and recommend this spot to others looking for good Mexican food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Tasty taco and tasteless tamale.

We came for dinner on a Friday night in a group of 3. The wait was about 20 minutes and then we were seated and the real wait began. There was a long wait between visits to our table for drinks (which took a second visit to actually arrive and we only asked for water), to take our order and then for food to arrive. The food was a real mix of delicious and MEH. The tacos were super tasty but the tamales were fairly tasteless. The rice was good but the beans were just...fine. And the total for three people--no drinks!--was $91 with the tip. Definitely overpriced for what we had in the food and the experience. Next time we pass through Mesquite we'll eat elsewhere.

This restuarant was recommended and good thing too since there are very few good places to eat in Mesquite. The portion sizes are huge so bring your big boy appetite. The service was sporatic and slow, they were nice, but I felt isolated and forgotten. I would return for the food.

Carnitas tostada

Restaurant was a nice size, they placed a Hispanic music and not crazy loud. They sat us right away and then brought out chips and salads. The chips were crispy and the salsa was ok. I had a chille relleno which was ok but no flavor. I also had a carnitas tostada and the beans were delicious and they provided a good amount of meat but the meat was bland. I needed to add salt and hot sauce. My SIL had the chile verde which was good but missing a little spice. My husband and daughter had the cheese enchilada which was ok but again the sauce was missing something. Now they had the crunch chicken taco and wow it was amazing. We all agreed that we would come back for the tacos. The shell was crispy and the filling was flavorful and juicy. Def the stand out of our meal. I would def come back for the tacos and next time I'll give the asada a try.

Restaurant is large and separates into another area. Walk in and wait to be seated. Looking at the menu we FINALLY found a place that put refried beans in the nachos and had to order them. Plate came out piping hot and everything was evenly spread on the chips. The plate could have been licked clean! We ordered the combo plates and had a mini buffet tasting beef tacos, chicken enchiladas, pork tamales, and the chicken chimichanga. You couldn't go wrong with anything you picked. Rice was nice and fluffy, beans were exceptional. While a little more expensive, this will be a recurring spot for us when we visit mesquite.

Found this place on Yelp once we got to Mesquite and decided to try it out. The food was a little above average, though I didn't love the beans and rice. Mine had a good flavor, but wasn't mind blowing. It's a decent middle of the road type Mexican place. Probably a 3 1/2 star place.

Stopped by Cinnamon Café while passing through Mesquite and was pleasantly surprised. Tucked away…read moreinside a hotel, it provides a good cafe experience. The menu has a huge variety of breakfast and lunch options. Once in the restaurant, it doesn't feel like you're inside of a hotel. The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and our food came pretty quick. The breakfast crêpes were incredible and super fun to eat outside normal French toast and pancakes. My husband and I split a breakfast burrito and it was and more than enough for the both of us, ordering it, wet with avocado was the move! If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot away from the casino crowds, Cinnamon Café is definitely worth a visit. Between the friendly staff and huge portions it was wort the stop.

Table of 2, traveling over memorial weekend on a Saturday around 1PM, not crowded, few tables full. Took a minute to be sat, was promptly greeted by the waitress. They have a decent size menu, mostly breakfast, but they almost any food you're craving they have, spaghetti, burgers. I ordered the chorizo skillet and the other guest a breakfast burrito. Like a few others have said, food is bland. We ate there traveling back from Vegas. We wanted to try local but you might be better off having something reliable like a chain restaurant throughout Mesquite. Or waiting the 1 hour n half for a spot in Vegas. Overall place is clean and workers were friendly, it was quicker, just the food is alright

We went here for our 28th anniversary. We are from Las Vegas, but with most of the buffets closing…read moredown it is hard to find a buffet with hot and cold crab legs. The buffet isn't huge, but the food was good and there are lots of choices. Not bad for the price we paid. The desert bar has the MOST delicious bread pudding that I have had in a long time. Our waitress Michele was EXCELLENT she kept our empty plates cleared and was coming by all the time to check on us. While we were in line waiting to get it, we met 2 other couples from N. Las Vegas that lives in our neighborhood. No, we don't know them, but it was fun talking to them in line. They too were looking for a good buffet. Yes, we will be back :)

Disappointing Visit to Sierra Buffet…read more We arrived at 10 AM expecting to enjoy breakfast, only to find out they had just switched over to lunch. A little disappointed, we decided to give it a try since the lunch items had just been put out fresh. Unfortunately, the hot food was a letdown. Most of the dishes were under-seasoned and surprisingly not very hot, even though they had just been brought out. The mac and cheese was watery, the fried fish was lukewarm, and the country gravy was basically flavorless. Thankfully, the salad bar and fresh fruit did not disappoint and were definitely the highlights of the meal. Overall, we were disappointed with the quality of the hot items and expected more from a buffet. Hopefully, this was just an off day.
