La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant - (Near Mt Vernon, IL)

5 /5 kaboose gaming: If you want some real good Mexican food this is the one. Has a real authentic feel as soon as you walk in. Staff are friendly and the food is always great. Some of the other places might have a nicer setting and curb appeal but thats about it. Your going to get authentically good food, might not be authentically Mexican but its authentically good and a highly recommended local spot. The street corn is phenomenal

5 /5 David Fendley: I was wondering what I was going to eat for dinner, and the answer was right across the street. Fantastic food and good portions. I ordered mine to go and had a soda with chips and salsa. Good job on the salsa. They made a non seasoned chicken breast for Milo, and I had the seafood dish with chorros for dessert.

5 /5 Mack Sittnick: Great spot! After traveling all day, this was one of the few spots open after 9PM on Sunday. It exceeded our expectations! The food was ready incredibly quickly (10 min) and tasted fresh and authentic. Everything pictured plus freshly made chips was less than $30 before tax. The team there was so friendly and kind. The monster burrito was enormous and the queso was delicious. The fajita serving was enough for leftovers. We didn’t stay for drinks but it looked like they were a great deal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good filling dinner.

5 /5 Phillip Mills: The food was fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and was very colorful. No iceberg lettuce, nice green lettuce, beautiful red tomato that tasted fresh and full of flavor. The steak in my Fajita quesadilla was super tender. The homemade hot sauce salsa verde was some of the best I’ve ever had, it was packed full of flavor with just the perfect amount of heat.

3 /5 J FF: Overall the place was not bad but it had been open for a hour or so and no one else was in there but the server and 1 cook. Lights were still off and floors were we in spots. The bathrooms needed cleaning as well. The food was decent for a first time trying but I wouldnt recommend trying this place it just seemed out of the way and in a sketchy neighborhood. The server was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional. With some reworking it could be a good and lively spot.
