Lunch steak fajitas with chips/rice/beans
Fernando M.

Solid Mexican food and service. The green hot sauce is fire! Prices are very reasonable.

Maruchabirria (cup ramen with loads of birria broth and two huge hunks of beef hiding under the toppings)
Elliot K.

Drool worthy authentic Mexican food for a great price! There are Mexican snacks and spices on shelves by the register, and a cooler full of drinks incase you somehow don't enjoy their horchata. You can sit outside, in the front, or in the cooler back area. My boyfriend's go to is the steak torta, and I always go for the maruchabirria (ramen in a rich birria broth with big hunks of beef). We also share some hot cheetos elote and a couple of BOMB street tacos (any type is perfect, especially drenched in their spicy green salsa, trust me). They deserve more business, and they'll certainly be getting more of ours!

Sangria and tacos !

I could eat here everyday! Authentic and everything is so good! For almost only one year open they have a huge menu and continue adding to decor , specials, and menu!

We were in town for an event and decided to check this restaurant out. It's an old diner turned into a Mexican Resturant. There was nothing fancy about this place but the food was delicious! The food is very fresh and flavorful. Probably one of the tastiest refried beans I have had. My whole family really enjoyed their food. The staff is very welcoming. They greet you the minute you walk in. They are very attentive and the service and readiness of the food was quick . We will be returning once in the area again. I was not able to take more pictures because my family was too quick to dig in.

Our whole dinner. Shrimp fajitas and a Burrito

Food, atmosphere and employees were amazing. I cant wait to go back. I have my eye on those dessert nachos

Burrito with shrimp substituted for diablo sauce

I live right on top of a 'Mexican' restaurant and every time I go there it's due to sheer…read moredesperation for lack of good Mexican food in CNY. Every time I lament the fact I spent money to eat there... I had read that this was a good one on the 'Where Syracuse Eats' Facebook page, which can be a pit of snakes at times. I decided to bookmark it, as a 'just in case' I was ever passing through Waterloo. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical when my mom and I walked in around 5:30-5:45 p.m. and not a soul was in the place. Apparently, people in Waterloo eat dinner around 6 p.m. so the place was popping as we were eating and then leaving. My mom is a vegetarian so we shared the vegetarian combo D plate. I ate the tostaguac and she had the enchilada, and we shared the rice. I normally find the rice at Mexican restaurants to be underwhelming, even at my favorite spot in Detroit. This was delicious and I ate it! (There may have been some debate on who should get the last few bites of rice!) I also ordered a side of their hot salsa. I think this was $2 but it was so good and so worth it. The regular salsa was fine but not spicy at all. Service was fast once we decided what to order. No pictures because I was too excited by an actual Mexican place within a reasonable distance from me! Skip the places in Syracuse and come to La Fiesta Brava!

Holy authentic food Batman!! we have been up here from Texas for about three months, and two things…read morewe've really been missing: 1. good barbecue, and 2.authentic Mexican food. Plus side, we're eating AMAZING Italian food we cannot find down south. We had tried a few places for Mexican, but, bleh. We were driving around sightseeing, and I saw this place on yelp and saw the great reviews. We were hesitant to try, but based on the reviews we had to give it a try. When we walked in and heard the employees speaking, Spanish, to each other and saw the huge selection of Jaritos, we had a modicum of hope. The menu was great and we chuckled at the pronunciation guide. (Of course I need a pronunciation guide for some of the amazing Italian food up here...mainly gnocchi! ) When they brought us our food, we were in heaven. I have been craving cheese enchiladas, and boy did they they delivered. My plate came with a crispy beef taco which was perfect...lots of wonderfully seasoned beef, great toppings and nice crispy shell. The two cheese enchiladas were wonderful, I will say the sauce was a little different than I'm used to (hard to describe, kind of a sweet tomato taste?) but it was still very good. The guacamole was PERFECT, and we asked for cilantro and onions , and they took care of us. If we were not going hiking after lunch, we would have tried one (or two) margaritas...they had a great selection; but we knew if we did we'd just want to take a nap in the truck. So if you are looking for REAL authentic Tex-mex, don't hesitate to give this place a try!
