La Fiesta Restaurant - Gretna (LA)

1 /5 Ian Moberly: A previous review said it was a dive bar, but with food. He wasnt wrong. The food? Not good. I mean if you went to Walmart and decided to have great value taco night. But theres something about the drop ceiling, terrible parking lot, 1996 dining room that has this weird masochistic charm. Its dirty, the food isnt good, but what a mystery! I didnt have good food, but I also didnt have a bad experience. I would say, IF you can figure out how to park, then you should have a Modelo Negro and a shot of Patron just for the sheer enjoyment that places like this exist. Literally smells like cigs. I have no love for the food but the atmosphere is a must see for the adventurous. Not authentic Mexican food at all.

1 /5 Nelson Pantoja: Hi everyone and good evening! My experience on July 29, 2022 • I did not feel a warm and welcoming environment. I was not greeted when I arrived inside the restaurant and nobody from the staff assigned me a seat/table. A gentleman with an unfriendly face told me from the kitchen door “sit wherever you want”. The waitress took the chips without gloves and with dirty hands (without washing them or applying antibacterial gel) and she was not a friendly person. I would like to recognize the following only two positive things she was very attentive every time I finished my drink, giving me plenty of refills without asking. The bean dip tasted very delicious (that and the sprite soda were the only things I liked). Main dishes are not authentic Mexican food, I have visited Mexico 3 times and I am a mexican food lover. The burrito looked and tasted like the frozen burritos you find in grocery stores. Before leaving the restaurant they charged me more taxes than normal, by the way the costs are quite expensive for the type of food they offer and the portion they serve to customers. Next time instead supporting this local business Ill go straight to McDonalds for lunch. Its a shame that such a nice and pretty restaurant is run by inefficient and not polite staff. I did not feel welcomed, cared for or valued. My first and last visit.

3 /5 Tina O.: Friendly service. Loved the cozy atmosphere. Food and drink were just ok. Not authentic Mexican food, but I did enjoy the Mexican music playing while I was dining. I had tacos and a margarita.
