I recently purchased a dozen tamales (6 pollo verde, 6 pollo rojo), plus containers of rice and beans from them at the Lake Merritt Farmer's Market in Oakland on Saturday, April 4th. The tamales were good (pollo verde), but I was REALLY disappointed to find the beans all moldy when I opened the container upon getting home! This really tears me apart because the woman was so nice and warm in her personality, plus she gave me and my son a sample of her guac w/chips. Unfortunately, I had to throw the beans away. I'd give them a lower rating, but the customer service was good and the tamales were solid. I messaged them directly on their social media (Instagram), but they've yet to respond to me by the time I wrote this review. read more

Pick up some chicken tamales from the farmers market, the worst and driest tamales I have ever had! They lacked favor and the chicken had weird taste to them. Even the frozen tamales from Trader Joe are even way better! In hindsight, I shouldn't have gotten them, because she didn't have any samples! When a vendor doesn't have samples don't buy them! read more

I purchased a pack of 6 each beef enchiladas and a chicken enchiladas from Kaiser farmers market. $38 for both. The chicken enchiladas are different tasting to me personally... I am pretty certain the chicken meat is from the canned chicken (like tuna). I came here to see if anyone else had comments about this. The lady was super nice that sold them, but unfortunately I won't be buying more. The shredded beef enchiladas tasted a bit better, more on the sweet side, read more

Pork tamales and salsa were delicious! Our first visit to the Tuesday Farmer's Market in Roseville

EXCELLENT ! Chile Rellenos ! They don't skimp on the filling. The chile and the batter are fried up nicely. Too bad they don't have an eat in store front; I'd go there a lot. Someone on here mentioned they have no contact info to find their event schedule... A simple online search will give you their contact phone number and email... Their pop-up booth is neat also ! read more

ZERO stars!!!! Food was terrible. Chips were bought from Costco and presented in a zip lock bag (so tacky) and guacamole was watery and not eatable. Total cost for both was $18. Seriously overpriced! This business is clearly taking advantage of people! read more

The best food made by the best family! We've been getting their tamales and chile rellenos every week at our farmer's market for year

Great chile rellenos sometimes available at the Martinez farmers' market, but there is no telephone number I could find to be sure they would be at the market on a day we can go. Anyone know why this good food is so hard to track down?! read more

I recently bought the Veggie Tamales with the green salsa (which was recommended by the wonderful nice lady working) The tamales were delicious, masa was very good and the vegetables inside were very good not soggy. Will definitely try more entrees. Bought them at the El Cerrito farmers market. read more

We saw their booth at the Martinez Farmer's Market Sunday, July 9th. 2023. Of course we were intrigued and the lady offered us a sample of a tamale that was being steamed. It tasted well enough that we purchased a 6pk of them as well as a package of 6 Beef Enchiladas. I'm not sure if it was because they had theirs being steamed but, as others have reviewed on here about their tamales, not only are they dry, the masa versus meat ratio, well, the meat wasn't enveloped in the masa so much as being placed beside or underneath it, then wrapped in corn husk. Very, very dry, and seriously needs either mole or some kind of salsa to help make it palatable. As a kid I never had issue eating a tamale without it being covered in sauce! I truly miss the New Mexican Red Chili tamales made by my grandmother. I wish the lady at their booth had recommended we purchase some kind of sauce for their tamales. Next my complete disappointment after microwaving one of the enchiladas. I'll give them this, it took to being microwaved quite well, and came out very hot! But, once cutting into it is where my dismay took over. It looks like the beef, if there was any was pureed to the point it looks like pulverized refried beans with cheese on top. Really lacking in flavor, hey, just take a look at the pictures! These pics were not photo edited at all. I'm very disappointed and apparently, we're not the only ones who took the time to review Mi Fiesta Authentic Mexican Cooking after being sorely saddened by the loss of money towards their false advertising and claims of authenticity. read more

Had the best chile relleno of our lives today from the Calistoga farmers market. Heated it up on the stove over low heat for 20 mins (since heating stuff up in the microwave is yuck) and it was spectacular. We will be back for more! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The lady who was at the Sebastopol Farmers market wasn't friendly at all. I would ask questions and she was just rude to answer. The tamales weren't fresh they were cold as a rock which means they were in the freezer or fridge prior. I just gave them the benefit of the doubt. Boy was I so wrong for doing that. The tamales have an awful taste, they were so dry, and the meat tasted like it was past the expiration time. For $18 for 6 tamales it's ridiculous! I will NEVER be getting anything from them again. read more

I bought their chicken and pork tamales from their stand at the farmers' market in downtown Pleasanton. Terrible! Though wrapped in a husk, what was inside, though it had meat and masa, had no filling. The masa (dry, tasteless) was on one side, the meat (shredded, not bad in quantity) was on the other side, not inside at all. Also, they were supposed to be red sauce or green sauce? No detectable sauce. read more

I picked up some chicken enchiladas verde and chips with salsa morita from the farmers market at Kaiser South Sac this week. Enchiladas were really good and the salsa delish! Almost makes me want to go to the doctor again... read more

Yolanda's enchiladas tamales and salsas are delicious and I buy them every single time I can make it to the farmers market.

Got tamales at kaiser riverside roseville yesterday. Got 6 pork and 6 pablano pepper and cheese for $32 Ouch, so I thought these would be extra special good. Well there not. The pork ones are tasty but 1/2 the tamale is nothing but masa and the Poblano pepper and cheese have no Poblano or cheese! They mislabeled the bag of tamales all thats in them is corn and some other vegetables so they gave me vegan! Ill start yelping these vendors before I buy. seems to be alot of the same reviews on here. Hopefully kaiser starts weeding out these bad vendors as they just started up the farmers market on there campus's after post covid. read more

I met this sweet lady at the Calistoga Farmers Market this past Saturday. (Nov 4). We were visiting from Reno. I'm currently devouring the salsa molcajete, guacamole, and the vegan tamales. Absolutely delicious! I grew up in Texas where the TexMex is pretty damn good! This is some of the best salsa I've ever had! The tamales had plenty of veggies and were definitely not dry. I reheated in the microwave covered in a damp paper towel per the instructions. I suppose if you nuke it in the microwave, it could definitely dry out. Either steam to reheat or cover in a damp paper towel. Everything we tried is delicious! Now, I need to find out if I can get it shipped to me. Don't read these other lame reviews. If you have a decent palate, you will love her food! read more

Stopped by the booth at the Marin Farmer's Market and met the friendly lady who gave us salsa samples. We took home the chicken enchiladas with red sauce, rice, refried beans, and multiple kinds of salsa. The salsa molcajete was incredible and we would like to order by the quart! The food was delicious and authentic and made for a great home-cooked family meal. We will definitely be stopping by Mi Fiesta's booths again! read more

We bought their tamales on a market and could not finish it: it was so dull and tasteless, just a few canned veggies in mushy corn. 14$ for that! Very disapointing! read more

I've been picking up items at Kaiser in Roseville/Wednesday Market for years. I was SO THRILLED that all items were not sold out today when arriving after 3PM. We are huge fans of the Chicken Enchiladas, Chile Relleno, and Chipotle Salsa! Dinner tonight, in oven! I will agree with tamales reviews by others, mostly masa. I INSIST on at LEAST a 50/50 ratio, theirs is 80/20. Try the enchiladas, those I can give 2 thumbs up! 4 Star update if the tamales improve! read more

Tried the pork tamale which was served warm with mild salsa (it wasn't mild at all) and a small serving of guacamole and rice on top. My tamale was jam packed with meat but it was rather dry. The masa was also very dense and not soft like other tamales I have had. For $5.00 it's still a decent price for what you get. Maybe the tamales sold in bulk have less meat ? I didn't have that issue with my tamale. The guac was also delicious and smooth! read more

I bought a pack of the chicken enchiladas with red sauce today at the el cerrito plaza farmers market. The chicken enchilada seems to be stuffed with a slightly sour tasting mix of tiny pieces chicken and I wanna say, cheese / cream cheese mix? It tastes almost takes like tuna salad. Clearly this catering company and the family who owns it doesn't care too much about selling low-quality food to unsuspecting shoppers. I'll make sure to warn other shoppers at the farmers market the next time I'm there. You can get way better enchiladas for the same price at a restaurant for take out. You can also make your own at home for less ($15 for 6 small enchiladas) with actual chicken in the enchiladas. Shame on these people. How embarrassing to show your faces again after basically scamming people. I haven't seen anyone raving at all about the food on this thread, that should tell you how bad it is. My dog will eat the food, so it won't go waste. read more

If you like dense dull boring food these are the tamales for you. 30 bucks on tomales and absolutely no flavor... dry, boring, dull, unedible.... read more

I wonder if the owner reads these reviews... they all consistently say her tamales are dry and all masa. Well I fell victim today while picking up a prescription at kaiser Morse. I thought tamales would be a nice treat to enjoy over the weekend. I am so disappointed. THEY ARE ALL DRY, MASA, WITH SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF CHICKEN! Honestly she should be ashamed! I also agree the lady isn't very friendly. read more

St Helena farmers market take out cheese enchiladas, Chile rellenos and chipotle salsa. All very good. Pricey but will order again. The chipotle salsa is the best I've ever had. Looking forward to ordering vegetarian tamales. read more

I walked by their booth at the Kaiser farmers market and couldn't resist stopping. I grabbed some salsa endiablada which is delicious but isn't really worth the 7 dollars for a tiny little container . I also bought some of the cheese and pobalano pepper tamales since they're my favorite but it was 13 dollars for half a dozen ! I went home and warmed a few up and was looking forward to a delicious cheesy tamale . Well... where is the cheese?? I don't think my tamale had any . My tamale was all masa with poblano peppers chopped up and mixed in the masa. I was expecting more of a cheese and pepper stuffed tamale . Oh and corn??? I'm not sure if I was eating more corn or masa. I only had 2 tamales and mind you ate a lot of the corn in what I did eat but this is what was left afterwards. Definitely wouldn't recommend buying these over priced tamales to anyone . read more

I stop by their stall at the Novato farmers' market whenever I can. Their vegan tamales are amazing (super moist and surprisingly flavorful, given the short ingredient list), and the woman at the table is super sweet :) Super excited to see a vegan tamale option, since that can be hard to find outside of Oakland or the city. If they offered vegan pulled pork (like the kind made from slow-cooked hearts of palm), my freezer would be perpetually packed full of 'em read more

Every time we go to the Danville farmers market, our first stop is getting tamales and salsa from Mi Fiesta! The tamales are consistently great, masa to meat ratio is perfect and they are not dry at all! The salsa is fresh (our favorite is the Salsa de Dedos). Highly recommend!! read more

Their Tamales, Chile Rellenos are so yummy! I'm so addicted, and I crave them so often! I buy at Marin Farmer's Market, but now they are making some arrangements to drop off in the area (you can check on their facebook page for the details), while the COVID-19 is around, so I still can get them!! Chile Relleno is my favorite food, so I eat wherever I go, but theirs is definitely the best!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Been coming to them for salsas and tamales for years. Truly authentic Mexican food, not the watered down version you see so profoundly in Danville/ San Ramon. Highly recommended! read more

Seriously tasty tamales to go. I bought two flavors: pork in salsa roja and chile cheese. So good! Great for families if you need a meal on the go or last minute tastiness. I bought the salsa morita on the side - so hot and yummy! Good on the tamales or by the spoon if that's your thing! read more

Purchased tamales in salsa verde at the Walnut Creek farmers market. Excellent will definitely buy again.

Dry masa, no flavor!! Bought at farmers market, but very disappointing!! Not very authentic. The masa should have corn in it, but this was just plain read more

Cannot emphasize how much I LOVE their food! I get it at a farmers market in Corte Madera and Alesia is always super friendly. I salivate during the transaction because I cannot wait to get home and warm up the enchiladas, tamales, yum! Not sure why everyone was complaining about ratio in tamales. I find mine have way more meat than masa. read more

At a Kaiser farmers market this last week I came upon a sweet woman with a big variety of Mexican dishes prepared and packaged to purchase. Ordered the chicken tamales rojas which was $12 for 6. I thought I would give them a chance even if that price was pretty high! Eh. The chicken is shredded and dry, the masa pretty stiff and the salsa is possibly marinated in the chicken and mixed in with the masa. Unfortunately my excitement for finding yummy bay area Mexican specialties up here were quickly dashed. read more

I picked up a pack of the pork tamales @ the Pleasant Hill Farmers market. Personally was not impressed. One was almost all masa & thick & rubbery, the other had hints of pork, but not much. $12.00 for 6 tamales- average price. (for ones that actually have meat in them) read more

I went to the farmer's market today in Novato. I came home with the most delicious chicken and pork tamales!!! Wow... super moist and tasty! The Chile Rellenos was amazing! Thank you for making them for us. It was the most authentic Mexican food I have ever tasted!!! I will definitely be coming back for more since we had it for dinner!!! Gracias!! read more

The tamales sounded good so we bought 2 bags, but they ended up being 80-90% masa. A real rip-off. The masa should be maybe 60% of the tamale, tops. The little bit of meat (pork and chicken) there was had a somewhat decent flavor, but was too dry. Will not buy again. read more
