I had 2 sopes because I thought they would be regularly sized... NO! They were HUGE! For such an amazing price! I couldn't finish them! Great salsas, great toppings. I have absolutely no complaints. Good service, they were very kind. The ambiance of the space was very cozy, very chill. Will definitely come back and tell all my friends who love authentic Mexican food! :)“

If I had to choose one restaurant, and one restaurant only, it will forever be La Fiesta.“
