La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant

Didn’t plan on eating here, but sure glad I did. The shrimp was amazing. If I lived closer to Rocky Top, this would be my go to Mexican food place.

The food was good but the service was very slow and there weren’t very many people in there. We stopped in there while we were on our way home from a day trip and we were disappointed that it took so long to get our food.

Good fresh food. I got the vegetarian chimichanga and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. Good service too.

I’m going to give 3 even though I really would rather put 3.5. I see a lot of great reviews from here so I gave the recommendation for my fam to try. We came in later on a Friday night and that was about the rating of the whole experience.
The staff was friendly-​ish (maybe it was just late?).The food was a good sized portion for all the meals we had and we were never short on refills or chips & salsa. I had the shrimp enchiladas and asked for mushrooms to be added. The insides of the enchiladas themselves were only about half full and I counted less than 10 mushrooms total.
I will be back at least one more time to give it a chance to improve.

BUFFET on sunday at 11:00 am. WOOHOO ! ! ! ! ! The food is great.

This place was great from the beginning to the end. The staff was super friendly and the food was fantastic. Like normal Mexican restaurants, this place brought out chips and salsa. I’m not normally a salsa person, but this salsa was amazing! Just the right balance of sweet and spicy in my opinion. I ordered a fajita steak chimichanga which normally comes with peppers, onions and tomatoes on top, which I opted out of. Now if you are what you eat, then I am Mexican and when I normally go to a Mexican restaurant I get a steak quesadilla, so I was branching out a little on this one, and I’m so glad I did!
The chimichanga was served with rice, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole while the chimichanga itself is topped with a cheese sauce. Normally I don’t touch any of the side items (beans etc.) but I decided to try them and they were all delicious!

If you like food like I do you cant get better than that.

Clean, good service and very yummy. I was surprised because the sign on the interstate didn’t instill confidence. I would recommend this place to my friends.

LA Fiesta was just as stated in the prior reviews. Just passing through, but access was easy from I-​75; food was excellent; very reasonably priced; and lunch service was fast.

This is my favorite restaurant in Lake City, by a landslide! The service is excellent, the food is always hot and yummy! My favorites are the chile rellenos, tacos, fajitas, and the fiesta dip. If you’re not in the mood for Mexican, their burgers and fries are great as well. They’ll even put guacamole and queso blanco on your burger.

I give this place 4 stars. I was surprised to find that the buffet food was actually the same stuff you would order off the menu. The chili rellenos was great, and the camarones el Diablo (spicy shrimp) was really good too. Fresh shrimp not old and fishy tasting. Even the bean and rice were good. Although the the beans were a little watery. I really liked everything, toquitos, empadas… Ect. And they had deserts and ice cream too, all for $ 9.99 not a bad deal at all,

Very good food. We were traveling and looking for Mexican. This was easily accessible right from I 75. Service was exceptional and the food was as well. Great menu and reasonable prices. They even have burgers! The décor is really fun on there and it was a fun place to take our kids. Definitely would recommend.

nice little gem, stopped for lunch. quick and courteous service. food was great, thankful for my Unilocal app and seeing the non chain pleasure where i stopped to get gas

We stopped here on the recommendations found on Unilocal and they were right on target… clean, fast, exceptional service and good food. Would gladly eat here again

This is a really good place to eat and a great value. It’s very clean, and he staff is always courteous and gets my order right. The food might not be the best ever, but it’s very good, reasonably priced and served quickly and hot. I wish the selection of beer on tap was a little better, but that’s not a deal breaker.
Worth a try if you find yourself in Lake City.

Food was ok but we were so disappointed they only had beer it ruined the experience. All we wanted was a margarita. Nothing special.

This was a lucky find. This place is really nice, clean, with good food, and generous portions. Mind you the food may not be what some would call authentic, it seems to be adapted to local tastes; but the carnitas was seasoned nicely, and roasted to a perfect fork tenderness. The servers were spot on and the place was doing a good local trade. A good place to stop.

We stopped in after a long day on the road. Service was prompt and very friendly. The food was excellent, traditional Mexican fare. Portions were generous. The only slight negative is they don’t have a bar so the Margherita was from a bottle. To the waiter’s credit he warned my wife of that before finalizing her order. Overall it was a very nice stop on Hwy 75.

This is a pretty good little Mexican restaurant. The place is clean and the amosphere is family friendly. The workers are clean, polite, and speak English. Dinner prices are reasonable ($ 7-​$ 15) and there are lunch specials but the lunch specials are normal Mexican restaurant fare. Not a bad place to eat — especially for this exit off the interstate. They have a Sunday lunch buffet that I’ve heard is good but I’ve not been there for that.
