Casa Fiesta is a local Mexican restaurant that sits on Bell Road near the Cane Ridge Road…read moreintersection, just a few blocks off of 24. It sits up on a hill, so half the restaurant is perched above the lot below. At first glance, you see the less than savory motels surrounding the restaurant, but don't let that deter you!
For the most part, Casa Fiesta is your standard local Mexican spot, and I am down for that. I knew what to expect from a menu perspective, as well as service wise.
I popped in after a visit to the nearby outlets, as I decided to treat myself to a bit of lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The space is large and features several dining rooms and a large wrap around/covered patio. I went with inside, as I love me a good booth and some AC. I was promptly sat upon entry and greeted just as quickly by my server.
Along with the chips and salsa, I added a small queso and then went right in for the lunch order, which was the classic grilled chicken, cheese and rice. I added grilled onions, as why not!? Additionally, I got a side of sour cream.
The plate of chicken, cheese and rice plus onions was HOT and PACKED, legit no room for anything else on that place. The serving size is definitely larger than I have gotten at many other local Mexican spots, and I was not mad at it. While the meal was large, the side of sour cream was not in proportion, which was a bummer. Maybe I like too much sour cream? I mean, is that really a thing? The food was tasty, but the chicken had a slight char taste to it, like maybe the grill was too hot or had remanence of another dish on it? It wasn't "bad", but noticeable for sure.
Service was friendly and efficient. From entry to exit, I spent around 35 - 40 minutes in the restaurant.
While the service size was larger than expected, so were the prices with the lunch running $15.99, small queso coming in at $6.99, and sour cream costing $1.50...totally close to $30 for lunch.
Parking is plentiful. Getting in and out can be a hassle, especially if you are trying to turn left out of the lot. Either way, be careful.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience and meal at Casa Fiesta! Definitely on the list of places to swing by when I find myself in the Antioch area!
