The restaurant itself had a few tables, a frozen ice cream box, video chance games, a huge rack of phone cards and several pictures decorating the walls. Most of the pictures depicted scenes from mexico, such as poncho villa, zapata, rural life, cows, etc... one of the walls was covered in mirrors and had a sombrero hanging on it. They have standard tacos at 2.50 apiece, chicken, beef or pork. We tried several of them. There was also a Torta for 8.50 that was pretty decent. There was some type of hot sauce (Valentina brand) here that that we put on it made it significantly better. The helado de fresa or strawberry ice cream ($1.50) balanced it out. We also had the Bistek Ranchero: it came with 6 yellow corn tortillas, onions, cilantro, beans, rice & lots of beef, mixed with red pepper. That cost 14.00 pretty decent if you ask me. What makes this place stand out in my opinion is the " tostada ceviche de camaron " or lime marinaded seafood salad on a deep fried corn tortilla. This item is occasionally also available at competitors but not nearly as good. 5 Stars, incredible food!

I will still remember the time that I was so excited and felt a bliss of the taste of their Birria tacos as well as many of their signature dishes, such as the yucca and chicharron. However, if this were to be true, it's such a shame that a place like this would take so much advantage on people like that, specifically their employees. Fortunately, there are definitely other places that now do birria tacos as well as been noted for bringing authentic Mexican cuisine in the Harrisburg area (some even cheaper and taste better than this place). But until they get their act together, I cannot support a place that does not support other people.

Usually that's extra salty for the lightly seasoned and slow-cooked beef. Nada. I for the first time in my life put salt on Mexican food. On top of the bottled table hot sauce. The wife had a hair in her tacos, but that's her review to leave. Haha. The salsa was reminiscent of V-8, but in a good way. Just not great salsa but the chips were hot and fresh. The decor in here is great and I'm sure the bar opening will improve the vibe. We came here using a coupon so I told them to not bother comping the wife's meal. Pretty sure we won't be back, so might as well use it up. (Probably 2 stars but it's me...)

On my most recent visit to Harrisburg, we stopped at Fiesta Mexico for dinner. Lovely people, very…read morefriendly, 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.

I love how Mexican it looks in there. The servers are also very nice, BTW. I also really like the tables in there, they are cool. They also have a kids menu, which is good. Overall, 2 stars.

The parking lot is empty (not unusual for this time of day) and we're the only customers. Upon entering, the hostess/waitress seemed annoyed we came in, based on her demeanor. I had a sense to walk right out before being seated but I'm starving, so let's see what happens... Not many places charge for a basket of chips and salsa, but here they do ($3.99). I can't recall if that was the case last few times I was here. They were crispy and I did really enjoy the red salsa. I ordered two quesabirria tacos and one chicken taco since they were only available à la cart. The wife got two shrimp tacos. Mine came with a side of consommé that was mostly water and lacked flavor. I had to add salt to the tacos since they needed flavor that the consommé wasn't providing. The salsa Verde that came on the chicken was medium spicy and had a nice kick to it. It actually made me sweat, but in a good way. We ate pretty quickly because I just wasn't feeling a good vibe inside the restaurant. I asked for the check and presented my coupon. While getting checked out at the register, I asked for change for a $20 (for a cash tip) in the form of a 10 and two fives and was presented a 10 a five and five ones. I did not want the one dollar bills because I had several in my pocket already. Again, this waitress either just didn't care or I don't know wtf her problem was. No positive energy at all and left me wondering "why?" Your customers are your livelihood, treat them nicely and they'll keep coming back for more... Not sure we'll be back anytime soon based on the attitude. Food was good, not great. Sorry for the 3 stars, just couldn't "get it up" to 4.

The perfect burrito that has ever been created lives here. The Cowboy crunch starts off with a tortilla ( id recommend the jalapeno cheese) and then Cajun chicken, re-fried beans, rice, and barbecue sauce. Cheese is then added and melted on top. The typical toppings added on after that are lettuce, tomatoes, ranch, and crushed up tortilla chips. The burrito is then grilled to perfection and served. If you wanna add pico, verde, or their jalapeno feta salsa on top go for it. The atmosphere there is like hipsters paradise. Depending on your location you could either have records hanging on one wall and a giant buffalo head mounted on the next wall; or be sitting at a table that has a grass pattern printed on the table. You can also find some pretty cool less popular sodas. The employees are as strange as the decorations in the store, but I've never had a bad encounter with one. They always seem nice and give me advise on what I should get. Overall cant say anything bad about Neato at all. If you wanna send your tastebuds on a trip to flavortown and branch off from the typical chipotle burrito (I still love chipotle too) get a cowboy crunch and enjoy.
