Reviews for Festejos Restaurant Bar & Grill in Clayton, NC
The best Mexican food I've found in the southeast. Their tableside guacamole is fantastic, their salsa is phenomenal, and their... molcajete dish is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Their margaritas are also delicious, and they have many flavoroptions. There's plenty of seating, including outdoors. We eat here often and are never disappointed. I can't recommend Festejosenough!

We went here for the first--and last--time last week. Guacamole was delicious, but I had to ask for additional lime and salt to... add flavor. Then I got my meal--disgusting. I couldn't figure out what the problem was and found it was the red sauce. I toldthe waiter the sauce was bad and very bitter. He went back and got a small bowl for me to try--extremely bitter. He did nottaste it but brought it back to the kitchen and told the cooks (I hesitate to use the word chef). He came back and said they"forgot" to add sugar. Are you kidding me? The sauce is bad so add a little sugar? I left almost everything on the plate. Hetook 10% off our check. Really? You can keep your guacamole and your bad sauce!! Oh, I failed to mention that the tables couldhave used a good cleaning. I think I can do without Mexican food, if this is what I get. No thank you. Read more
Food is always excellent and fresh!! Staff is always smiling and very warm and welcoming I love coming here. I do mostly take... out but the experience is just as awesome when I dine in. !!!!! Read more
I'm not sure what has happened to this place over the last few months but it went from being our favorite "go-to" to NEVER... again! I gave the benefit of the doubt after my last order was wrong so we ordered again today and it's like they don't evenread the customer's comments/preferences any more. The food took way longer than expected (though there were only two customersin the restaurant), the corn tortillas were not even warm (like they just pulled them out of a package), they included sides Ispecifically asked them not to (sour cream, pico, lettuce, etc.), the lettuce looked like it had seen better days and when Iasked for a side of house hot sauce (not salsa), I was told they don't make hot sauce any more! WHAT Mexican restaurant doesn'tmake hot sauce?!? Super disappointed! Read more
Festejos has been a long-time favorite. Authentic and a great staff, I recommend it over trendy Mezcalito down the way. You are... more likely to get great service and have an enjoyable experience here. We recommend the fajitas or tampequeño steak! Read more
Decided to give another Mexican restaurant a try. I've eaten authentic Mexican food my entire life and have cooked it for most... of my adult life. This doesn't come close to authentic, but Americanized Mexican food. I'm happy that people who have never hadreal Mexican food actually enjoy it and assume this is what Mexican food is supposed to be like... enough to give this place 5stars. Tonight, I will give you my reason for the 2 stars. I ordered 5 entrees in which one was incomplete. One of those orderswas fajitas, but they forgot to add the tortillas!! Strike one! Two of the other orders were chicken quesadillas that came witha salad. The question on that should be, "Would you like salad with your sour cream?" I've never seen so much sour cream as Idid in those orders. Strike Two! Last but not least, the order that took the worst I've seen and tasted...beef flautas. Firstoff, flautas aren't supposed to be made with ground meat, especially the same one used for other foods served there such as thenachos. Also, flautas should be made with corn tortillas not flour. When I opened the flautas order, immediately noticed thewrong tortillas. I tried to pick one up and it was completely soggy, no crunch whatsoever. The worst flautas ever, which Iwouldn't call flautas. Strike Three, you're out! Read more
Wheelchair accessible. Our waiter was amaaazing. Service was quick and our waiter gave us great suggestions on which items to... order. There was a special on the house margheritas. We had several dishes and free nachos with salsa for 2 and it cost lessthan $40 including tip. The food was served so quickly and looked identical to the pics on the menu. We enjoyed dining on thepatio. There is not much of a view but it was perfect weather. Highly recommend. Read more
