Description: Only the freshest (never frozen) and finest ingredients are used to prepare all menu items fresh daily. Our frozen margaritas are every Wacoan's favorite, so don't complete your La Fiesta experience without ordering one. We are proud to serve vintage Tex-Mex from original Castillo family recipes. Back in the good old days, before there were pre-formed taco shells and canned enchilada sauces, restaurant Tex-Mex was just like homemade. At La Fiesta, you'll find the same home-style flavors - and the same fresh-fried taco shells, house-made spices, homemade tortillas, and made-from-scratch enchilada sauces that your grandparents once enjoyed. Host your next event at La Fiesta! We have a private party room and a banquet house, enabling us to host up to 150 people. We also cater and will deliver directly to you with a minimum order of 8 entrees.

Had about a 20 minute wait on a Friday night but enjoyed a fabulous chicken enchilada dinner. Also enjoyed an appetizer of a combo of guacamole and queso - very good!

Was visiting my niece in Waco and she recommended this as a good dinner spt. She is a vegetarian, and my wife and I are not so the menu had options for us all. The lcoal cuisine was fantastic, my wfe loved the fish tacos; as did my niece. The queso was great, chips fresh and the burrito superb. More importantly, the margaritas were refreshing and delicios. The purple one (only allowed two) were limited for a reason, good and strong. Will go back on my next visit.

We asked our hotel manager for a recommendation on Mexican food. She said "definitely La Fiesta". We were in Waco for 4 days and ate here twice! The food was so tasty. Try the Cilantro and citrus rice and the sweet corn cake as your sides. You'll love them! We heard that the margaritas are excellent, and there sure were a lot of folks drinking them. Highly recommend this restaurant. Plenty of parking. Easy to get to.

I love the food here! Lots of choices & if you've never had their stuffed avocado, wow, to die for! Haven't had anything we didn't like after multiple trips!

La Fiesta had been one of our favorite Tex-Mex places in Waco for quite some time but we quit going after several poor experiences. We recently decided to give them another try and were quite pleased. It seemed for awhile during their remodeling that the food and service suffered but no more.

They are back to serving excellent Tex-Mex and providing great service as well. We've been twice recently and are happy they are back to what they do well. After being out of town for a couple of weeks my wife decided she wanted Mexican food so we went. The food was really good and the service was great. Keep up the the great work and we will be regulars!
