Reviews for La Fiesta in Albany, NY
Their tamales were really good! Great service and convenient location.
Went out for dinner last night with some friends from out of town, a total party of 5 including a 2 year old. I have eaten here... before and the food is never bad- only good to phenomenal and everything in between. Got seated quickly. Waitress was friendlythrough this entire experience, however it lasted FAR too long. There was another table outside that seemed to have herattention, which made our visit drag on. Good friends and company aside, there is an expectation for service that simply was notmet. Arrived at 645, opted to wait until the last in our party arrived to order. He arrived at 7:10. Our order was not takenuntil 7:30, it took 15 minutes to get drink refills mid meal (because of the aforementioned table outside) and an additional 20minutes from meal completion until they STARTED gathering our check. The waitress even came over and asked how many drinks wehad in total. Just abysmal. The worst was yet to come- as we get the check and the cherry on top was the automatic 18% gratuityadded. I did not see such a message posted anywhere in restaurant, so I asked a server who showed me where it was in the menu,which he did. Unfortunately it said ?automatic 18% added to tables of 8 or more? ? needless to say I had them remove the chargethat was an attempt at theft (as far as I?m concerned). You can see the gratuity amount below. LET THIS BE A WARNING FOR ALL: Ifyou go in and have many peoples in your party, do not let this happen to you. I caught it, but I shutter to think who didn?t andhow much money this staff has stolen from others. And I will let you know, I have a firm belief that waitresses never getstiffed. They live off tips, and I still tipped something. But this is inexcusable and it was surely not near my normal 20% Read more
What a place and omg their margaritas are fab!! It was crowded so if you don?t want to have a waiting time period on a Friday or... Saturday night, its safe to have a reservation though you wouldn?t have to wait much longer if you do a walk in. I went withfriends and family. the best thing is their DJ combined with margaritas. Food is nice? if you want some fun time, this is aplace for you. ???? Read more
Exceeded my expectations with the food. Drinks are also stronger than margarita city now that Lea is no longer the bartender. I... order this exact same meal at margarita city and it's barely any cheese on it. I was so happy I didn't have to ask for extracheese and pay more. Read more

First time here! And the food and atmosphere was incredible. I grew up in San Diego so I have been struggling to find a decent... Mexican restaurant in the Northeast. La Fiesta checked all the boxes. The food was hot and delicious. Well portioned and pricedfairly. The waiter was attentive, helpful, and kind. And the restaurant was quaint and cute. Overall, a very good experiencefor someone who was desperately seeking authentic mexican food. Gracias por todo La Fiesta! Read more
The food was very tasty. The botana which is a mixed appetizer was delicious. I shared the molcajete because it?s huge, I... included a pic?was my fav. We were a big group so when the check came I gave it a quick overview. I wish I had inquired aboutseveral 9.99 misc charges. I just didn?t want to go through the hassle and possible disappointment. In the future I would askeach person at the table what they ordered and check it off the receipt. By all means, enjoy the food but be wary. Read more
