Fiesta Mexicana

User Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I like this restaurant and visit it every time I come to Salida. I have eaten at many exciting restaurants in the U.S. and in Europe; this one may be a member of a chain, but the complaints about it baffle me. It is colorful, with a polite efficent waitstaff and first-rate Mexican-American cuisine. I think some people, especially the ones who don't get around much, massage their egos by complaining about the restaurants they visit.

Terrible greasy gruel. Rude wait staff. Overpriced. Total disgusting rip off. I had the fajitas. There were four tiny strips of overcooked "beef" on a mound of undercooked onions and peppers. All of it was drenched in grease. Avoid this place like the swine flu. There are many other locally owned restaurants in Salida that are way better than this place.

I have always enjoyed Fiesta Mexicana in Salida. However, I recently went to the Pacheco's in Buena Vista, Co., On my anniversary. My husband and I were shocked at the server/manager Peter and his equally flustered girlfriend/ server, Mary. He explained in a very irritated tone that it was St. Patricks Day and he had(stupidly of course) cut his kitchen an hour ago and he was pissed that he had to accomodate all of the people flowing into the restaurant that he was managing. It was 7:00 O'clock! I was really put off by his rudeness at the hostess counter, and even then more horrified when he disrespected a table of 4 elderly people out to enjoy St. Patty's together. As we were seated, this Peter person then proceeded into the kitchen only to bark/scream at his kitchen staff and pummel what sounded like stainless steel something. On that note, being very privvy to all that is the restaurant business, I instructed my husband that I would not put up with this atrocious lack of hospitality on our anniversary. We then headed to one of the only restaurants in town open. Jan's diner. Needless to say I had planned for a romantic dinner somewhere else, Jan's provided the happy, loving atmosphere I desired on my 4th wedding anniversary. Mr. Fiesta Mexicana needs to rethink his staff in Buena Vista at Pacheco's. They are apt to bring that restaurant to the ground now that one of the best chefs in that valley was jaded. Sorry for you Mr.I think I have all my ducks in a row..... I think it is in your best interest to get rid of party-heads unwilling to give the best help possible to deserving Buena Vista patrons. Sometime having lots of restaurants and not enough good people to run them can be a downfall. By the way, All of your so called chefs booze it up all night back in that kitchen. Not to mention those silly crack-heads, Peter and Mary. Where was Paul when one neede him? Hmmmm?
