This place is under new management, which has helped with food and service consistency, but it's still not perfect. The servers are generally sweet and friendly, but the restaurant seems to be understaffed sometimes, so when it's busy, service definitely suffers and it takes a long time to receive orders. The prices are fair, especially on drinks. The food can be good, but a stone was mixed in with the pinto beans once, so the beans likely weren't rinsed well before cooking. The chips and salsa are great.
They changed owners and its under new management!!! They have all new servers and they are very sweet and friendly. Food is still amazing, great price on drinks! If you haven't tried it in the past two months you need to!!;)

1st And last time here. Parking lot seemed packed which led me to believe that it was a good place to eat. 47 minutes later still sitting here waiting for food. Waitress has to many tables and hasn't been back by to check on us.

OMG.... new management! Slow as S * * * service... they don't have a system in place to wait on customers... its more like they have a system in place to ignore customers. Not much was right, especially the price....

This restaurant is horrible.. 3 times I've tried this awful place! If you actually get sat then pack your patience for chips and salsa much less a drink.. the food is sub par. The service is slow and terrible.. I will never waste my time with this place ever again!

Under new management!!! Finally! Food is still great and service is now up to par. Katharine was an awesome waitress- friendly informative. For all you folks that stopped coming cause of bad service (like us) - give it another shot!

I ordered the arroz con pollo and I'm pretty sure it wasn't just chicken but pork mixed in as well. I had my dining companion taste the dish and she agreed. I'm not into mystery meats so I'm solid hell no on the food here.If you go maybe get something like shrimp. It's easier to identify.

I found a rock in my food. It was the size of a pinto bean and was mixed in with the rice and beans. Thank goodness I did not break a tooth! I am very disappointed and no longer trust eating here.

We've been to La Fiesta Grande twice in the last two weeks. Both times the food was good and the service was very reasonable. I was hesitant to try this place based on some of the other reviews but our experience was very positive. We'll definitely be back.
