At first glance, after entering
Casa Fiesta, one cannot help but notice how spacious the dining
area is. There are numerous tables and booths to accommodate
groups of different sizes. Upstairs there is a large room,
complete with a full bar, perfect for those family get-togethers.
Ramon (my co-reviewer) and I were greeted, seated, and served
water quite promptly. The host was very polite.
After carefully reviewing the menu, we decided to go with
a traditional appetizer: the cheese quesadilla. We also ordered
our meals; I chose chicken fajitas, and my partner chose a
combination platter of tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas. Within
ten minutes, our appetizer arrived. The flour tortilla was
soft, the cheese was gooey, and it was served piping hot.
The quesadilla tasted delightful, and was enough to share.
After the enticing quesadilla, we were ready for more. We
waited only few minutes, and then it was time for the main
course. Our server gave us plenty of time to enjoy our appetizer.
My fajitas came sizzling on their own skillet, accompanied
by rice and refritos (refried beans). The four tortillas were
fluffy, and reminded me of my abuela’s homemade tortillas.
The chicken was seasoned just right, and the ratio of meat
to veggies was about 2 to 1. It was served with salsa, which
more than satisfied my hot meter. The rice and beans were
not regular restaurant style- I could taste the hard work
and effort put into them. The rice was fluffy, and the beans
tasted fresh. Our waiter kept our drink glasses full, and
he even brought me more tortillas before I could request them.
My meal was delicious.
Ramon ordered a combination platter. It was also served with
rice and refritos. He readily agreed that the rice and beans
were prepared with thought. His meal was served on a hot plate
heaped with food. The enchilada was oozing with cheese, and
the tostada was piled high with toppings. Ramon said the food
was very satisfying, but almost too much, especially after
the appetizer we had shared.
Throughout our meal, our waiter was extremely polite, and
paid attention to our every need. He cleared our plates, and
never let us see the bottom of our glasses. After finishing
our meals, I excused myself to wash my hands. The ladies’
restroom was so immaculate I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I was pleasantly surprised, due to the fact that the restaurant
has a high volume of customers. As we left, we were greeted
again and told to have a nice day. We both agreed that we
would make the trip again, as we had such an excellent experience.
We give Casa Fiesta a rating of 4 1/2
