We wanted to go to the nearby High Trestle Trail Bridge, so we stopped here for lunch with our…read moregrandkids on a weekday just after noon. We were quickly seated and got our drinks and started to look over the menu, which house lots of options! The kids settled in on a grilled cheese and a taco respectively. I decided to get the lunch burrito and my wife went for the lunch enchilada. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything was very fresh tasting and the serving sizes are huge! For a lunch special I expected a lunch-sized portion and I got what I would consider an evening-sized portion. The same for my wife's meal. When we were wrapping up, they came out with ice cream for the kids. They really enjoyed that even though you would've thought they'd have been full after all they ate for lunch. The spice level on everything was very mild. The salsa had just a little bit of a zing to it but nothing that would stop the kids for eating it. Next time I will ask for some hot sauce or throw some jalapeños in my entrée, but I do like it spiced up a bit. Service was very good and a gentleman who I assume is the owner was very funny and engaged well with everyone in the restaurant. They have a parking lot and everything was neat and clean. We did not partake of any adult drink offerings, but they did have what look to be a nice nicely stocked bar

The quesabirrias tacos are a favorite go to! They also provide lime wedges, radish slices, roasted peppers, and roasted onion with the tacos. The fresh, crisp cilantro is the "cherry" on top lol. Service: Every time we go in there, we're greeted with a smile! All of the employees are really friendly, patient, and helpful. They do their best to explain something on the menu if you're not fluent in Spanish/don't know what something is or consists of. They're very quick and efficient. Ambiance: A quaint, quiet store/restaurant full of delicious options and amazing smells. It's kept clean and tidy with medium noise pollution: there's typically a TV playing in the dining area or music playing throughout the space. The seating is cozy; more for 2-4 people at a table/booth, as opposed to large parties.

This review is long over due. La Fiesta in the "Northern Lights" area of north Ames is a great,…read morelocal Mexican restaurant that is bold on flavors and mild on price. I've enjoyed numerous meals at La Fiesta and have failed to leave anything less than completely full and satisfied. Right after sitting down at La Fiesta, you are greeted with complimentary chips and salsa. The corn chips are just alright by themselves, but the flavor really pops when you team them with the fresh salsa. If you're lucky at lunch, sometimes the wait staff will also bring out a special bean dip and a more spicy version of their salsa. I'm a spice fiend so I lap the hot salsa up. More recently, I've been going to La Fiesta during the lunch hour. They run different specials every day that make prices super affordable, despite the generous portions. My normal go to is the "lunch" fajitas with steak ($8.99 and $6.99 on Monday's). These come out "sizzling" hot and include the protein and the delicious veggies. In addition, you receive warm tortillas, refried beans and rice. All of which taste delicious and fresh. Today, I switched it up and ordered the "lunch" burrito verquero ($7.99 and $5.99 on Wednesday's). It was amazing! The distribution of steak, rice and guacamole inside the burrito hit all the right notes. The burrito was smothered in queso that perfectly married all the flavors. The queso was so delicious I used the remaining chips to scrap up every last drop. The service at La Fiesta is friendly and efficient. If you go for lunch, you can easily enjoy your meal in 30 minutes or less. Overall, I'd rate La Fiesta 5 out of 5 stars. It's unassuming, laid back atmosphere is appreciated. And you don't have to mingle with a certain "northside" crowd that frequents a different Mexican restaurant on the north side of town. If you want bold Mexican flavors at a reasonable price, La Fiesta is the place for you.

Well, this place is slightly better than Los Altos, the last restaurant to inhabit the building…read more I've been told it's an entirely new business and not affiliated with the old restaurant Los Altos. The owner of this business was one of the cooks at La Fuente. There are lunch specials that are cheap and fair. They have large CYRIDE ads, but still have the Los Altos art on the walls. The servers are kind, but aren't strong English speakers so be patient if you go. I had lunch special nachos and it was a large portion, but it could've been better seasoned. It's fair for a quick and cheap lunch.
