Ate here during our vacation in Ottawa and was very disappointed. The resturant itself is very small. Even though it wasn't busy the waiter seemed to have a hard time keeping up with orders. It was just my husband and I as well as 2 other girls at a separate table. The waiter was the only worker that we were able to see and he would disappear for 25 minutes at a time in the backroom leaving the dining area empty. It took the girls at the next table 15 before they were able to order due to the waiter being missing. We ordered the birria tacos, chicharon and 2 margaritas. The birria was very good however was disappointed it didn't come with consome and the portion was very very small. The waiter also forgot that we ordered 2 of them so we had to remind him and wait extra time on top of the long wait we initially waited for the food to come out. Our margaritas were okay but mine came with a broken straw so I couldn't drink it properly. I asked the waiter for a straw 3 different times before we finally gave up and my husband cut my straw in half so I could finally drink my drink. Chicharon sharable plate wasn't shareable at all. It was a really small plate with the chicken and 3 mini tacos to put them in. It wasn't the chicharon we were hoping to get and was really expensive for what looked like single serving appetizer rather than a large sharable. For reference my individual plate of birria was bigger. Overall we spent way too much money, really dissatisfied with the service. Will not be returning.

We arrived on Thursday at 3:30pm and It was close! It’ll be a good idea to change the schedule when you are planning to close.

Delicious authentic Mexican food, full of flavor, perfect for satisfying any craving.I've had this place on my To-Go list for a while so I'm glad we stopped in on a whim today! It's been a long time since I've had really good authentic Mexican food, but La Fiesta really nailed it for me.Smooth and fresh flavors for the guacamole and salsa.The pork carnitas, pastor, and chorizo tacos were cooked to perfection, good level of spice on the pastor and chorizo, the hot Diosa Verde sauce is AMAZING- creamy, cilantro, citrus and spice goodness.Will for sure be back again.

The service so fast and our server was super kind, the food tasted really delicious. Would definitely eat here again. (Their fresh juices were so refreshing too so I would definitely recommend that instead of a canned drink)
This is such a warm and cozy establishment with super delicious food. Absolutely loved eating here, will probably be back :)

Ordered for the first time, via UberEats.The food was good, packaging was good. My only critique is that the tacos, quesadillas and tamale lacked sauce. There were some red sauces included, but just small amounts. It would have even been more delicious if there was some sour cream or more sauce or salsa etc.overall - delicious food though. I’ll definitely try again. The tamales are absolutely delicious!!

I ate here for the first time today. There is plenty of street parking available. It's a clean, small restaurant with 5 or 6 tables and has a bright, friendly atmosphere. My server Marlene is a native of Mexico and was very pleasant and spoke spanish to me at my request. She was great with the explanation of the different dishes and salsas. I started with the Birria lamb soup which was incredible!! It was accompanied by a jarred salsa called Salsa Macha. The salsa was very different and tasted authentically mexican, nothing like a standard tomato salsa you get in Canadian restaurants. It was very good. I felt like I was somewhere in the middle of Mexico with every bite of my soup. Nothing about the soup or salsa tasted Canadian. For the main, I ordered a Happy Burrito (Carnitas) w/fries. The burrito was pretty good but really came to life when I asked her for a salsa verde and she brought me Diosa Verde!! This whitish-green sauce was heavenly!! The fries were perfect. You can tell the grease is changed frequently as the fries were fresh and light in colour. The restaurant has a great selection of Mexican drinks (Jarritos) and other Latin American favourites such as Inca Cola (Peru), Postobon and Colombiana (both from Colombia), which are among some of my personal favorite sodas. I will definitely be back to try more delicious food!
