Fiesta Mexicana - Merced

This has become our new go-to spot in the morning. The food is amazing! Maria is always so kind and helpful. The decor is lovely too. Give it a try—you might just discover your new favorites!

The food was decent, but my experience was marred by the service. My server, Karla, was friendly at first, but after she cleared my plate, she didn't check in on me or her other tables again. Unfortunately, this lack of attention made for a disappointing visit. I doubt I'll be returning.

I ordered a torta with El Pastor, and the meat was bland. The French fries could have been cooked a bit longer, too. I ordered a Coors and mentioned it twice, but they still brought me a Coors Light. The music was good, but it was a bit too loud to enjoy a pleasant conversation.

The service was ok; the interactions themselves were fine, but the waitress came to check us and the food once and it was 3 or 4 minutes after we had been served, and then we had to wait a while until they are available to us to ask for the check (and the restaurant was not busy at all, occupied with only maybe 2 other tables next to ours). The food was disappointing and it feels bad to say because I always want to support Mexican restaurants whenever I can, but that should not be representative of good Mexican food. The decor was also everywhere in the square; it saw part bar, part dance / nightclub, part seafood restaurant, and they had some strange ad with handbags / purses and perfumes near the entrance that open their price tags. I think they still had Christmas decorations.

Try the taco enchilada combo. It's great! Visiting from Tejas.
