Bruce LeflarFebruary 23, 2014This restaurant is located in the heart of San Diego Gas Lamp area. There are many Mexican restaurants on this block and I have been to several of them. La Fiesta is by far the best.
Best happy hr in Gaslamp - the top shelf margarita is soo good & only $5 & surf & turf taco is da bomb...
Nina GhamrawiOctober 7, 2014Happy hour 3$ margherita is too sweet, low tequila. Fish tacos are delicious! And mmmmmm nopales tacos?!
Isabel RiveraMarch 22, 2014Fresh, delicious! Try the fish tacos amd burritos. Happy hour includes $3 margaritas
Brooklyn LindseyOctober 7, 2013Table at the front was wonderful. Prime real estate! Excellent service. Delish. Killer flour tortillas.
Mike PerezMarch 8, 2014If the table next to you complains and you do to, there is obviously a problem. Get it together people.
Nancy Hernandez GarciaMay 19, 2013The bottomless mimosas from 9-2 are great w both breakfast and lunch meals:)
Jason HimmelsteinAugust 21, 2014Amused that the hotel concierge sent us to the one Mexican place had ever already been to in San Diego.
Scott SilsonJune 10, 2012Eat here between 3pm and 6pm to get the $2 street taco special as well as the $3 house margarita!
Sam KhorramianJanuary 8, 2012This place is aweeeesome!!! Great food, cheap drinks and $10 bottomless mimosas!!! Sooo good
AleJune 23, 2014Came first time for guacamole and margheritas and was great. Then came back and ordered tacos, they were the worst ever, simply tortilla stuffed with dry gummy meat and nothing else. Unimpressed
Nadim B👀June 6, 2010The Bloody Mary mix is the shit. They have a special brew and one of it's kind. A must try.
Gary WilkinsonApril 9, 2016Nice enough and good atmosphere, and the food was ok, but not really authentic Mexican so I found it mildly disappointing.
Peter KFebruary 25, 2015Fantastic food, terrible service. Didn't bring enough waters for our group, even after asking twice. Our food came out literally 20 minutes between the 1st & last person...
EceNovember 14, 2015Such a horrible service! We waited more than an hour just for the nachos!! I got so pissed off and cancelled the order and leave eventually 😡
Meliss & Woody JuarezJanuary 20, 2013This place turns into a club, so enjoy your drink until they take your table. Shit service
😜 Heather Siems 🍻November 6, 2011We came in. Got seated. Then nobody helped us so we left. The staff was screwing around in the back room, you could see them. Bummer!
Gul TercanJune 25, 2014The worst mexican food I have ever had! The salsa sauce, which taste awful, is used for all the meals
