La festa Mexican Restaurant

Just found a twig in my food please people stay away from here. NO TELLING WHAT I JUST ATE!

I love this place! I have been coming here since 2008 when I moved here and always have a great experience! I love the margaritas and the nachos!

5 stars, good food, quick service, pleasant and attentive wait staff… we love it!
Thanks for continuing to be our go to Mex. Great salsa, plenty of chips… cold Negra Modelo! Love the Shrimp Nachos, Chicken Fajitas, and anything with a big old chili relleño.
Gracias amigos por la más excelente comida, servicio rápido, y un gran ambiente!

VERY Poor customer service!!! I’ve made two separate call in orders and both times my order wasnt ready! Today it was chips and cheese dip. And I had to wait 10 minutes for that. I spoke to the manager and she wasnt sympathetic about the service I was giving. Dont GO!!! There are GOOD restaurants in Fayetteville with GREAT service

I work in sales so I try to eat healthy during the week then usually have what I call a fat ass Friday! This seemed to be the only Mexican restaurant in the area. It’s in a run down area but I thought maybe it’s a hidden gem. Usually I’ll check Unilocal reviews before I try somewhere new but forgot to until I was lead to my table. I thought great well this will be interesting. I’m gluten free so mexican is one of the few treats I can have especially in a small town like this they don’t have GF pizza or burgers. I placed my order: chipotle chicken and a small carne queso (told you it was Fat ass time). A few minutes later another waitress drops the wrong queso one the table and scampers away before I can tell her but then my waitress comes out with the right queso. It was good, not great but edible. Just cheese sauce mixed with taco meat. I was already full when my monster meal came out and I maybe ate ¼ of the queso. The chicken was a little chewy like over cooked but the sauce was good. The salad was good and the rice and beans were good as well. Service was quicker than I thought it’d be based on the reviews. My waitress was really friendly and the portions as you can see are huge. It’s not the best Mexican I’ve ever had but for the area it’s really not that bad.

So while it’s good that some things never change it is bad when they don’t get better. I didn’t have as horrible an experience as some of the other Unilocalers listed here but the food wasn’t fantastic, the service is still subpar. I guess there must not be much competition in this area because they have been getting bad reviews since 2010

Sat down for lunch and they placed the free salsa on the table. After eating a bite I noticed a soggy tortilla chip and coagulated cheese dip on the bottom. These nasty assholes REUSE SALSA FROM OTHER TABLES! Do not go here, unless you want to eat after other people and possible catch hepatitis. Lazy, cheap, disgusting.

Salsa was tasteless. Taco Salad was bland. My Chicken Chimichanga was ok. Only thing great were the prices, but the quality of food didn’t even match that. I would not visit again.

Worst food with worst service to match!

Stumbled on to this restaurant while driving the side streets, and I was very impressed. The food is very good, and flavorful. I’m from Los Angeles and this was just like back home. The chicken was well done, juicy and tender. The carnitas was perfect and spiced well. The staff was friendly and attentive. This restaurant is well worth the short detour off I-​85.

Decent, cheap food. Everything tended to be on the spicy side, but that was okay for me. The whole family was able to eat for about 50 bucks.

After dropping my car off to get some new tires, we had 2 hours to kill. So why not get some tacos and margaritas right? Wrong
First off, the chips and salsa were terrible, which should have been the giveaway point. We asked for jalapeño queso dip, and was brought out a very small cup of queso, and a few minutes later a few pickled jalapenos, how authentic… So, a pitcher of margaritas, overpriced, not very good, my glass was barely salted with table salt, and I had a long black hair in my glass.
After waiting 25 minutes in a mostly empty restaurant (now i know why) i finally got my #2 lunch special. Enchilada, taco and something I couldn’t recognize, was just a tortilla with lettuce chicken and sour cream on it. Everything was bland, no flavor, chicken was way overcooked, I barely ate any of it. My friend got something similar, and once again most of it was unrecognizable, just thrown together on a plate with beans and rice. She didn’t enjoy any of hers either.
After the bill came, I showed the waitress the hair in my margarita glass with the hair in it but told her it was no big deal and it happens. She says nothing and takes the glass to the hostess at the front, who looks at me with the waitress in a very puzzling and dirty manner. I left the bill money on the table and proceeded to walk out, where the hostess stops me and tells me there is no hair in my glass and that it must be mine if i see one. This was rather humorous to me as i barely have any hair, military cut, and my friend is a blonde, so a long dark hair coming from either of us seemed unlikely. After a minute of arguing, i walk back to my table, take half of my tip i had left back, and poured the plastic cup i had brought in on my walk over full of the margarita so id have a drink for the walk back. The hostess and waitress then were shouting at us and said they were calling the cops for stealing and something else in Spanish.
Overall, a horrible experience and i will have to look somewhere else in the area for decent Mexican. I would avoid this place at all costs.
