We were excited at getting authentic mexican food in Pittsburgh. We're NC, and it was a staple in our eating-out diet. La Fiesta is overpriced, it is twice the price of comparable restaurants and is really expensive when you compare it to the other, better quality restaurants in Pittsburgh. The service was slow, it took ten minutes for the server to come to our table, despite there being only one other table that hadn't settled up. The chips and salsa were awful, bland. I think the salsa was jarred. The sauces on my chimichanga seemed to have been kept at room temperature and we definitively not from hot. The server was rude, and the owner's children were running around the place, screaming and jumping on booths. Save your money, it might not be 'authentic' but go to Veracruz on Forbes or even Taco Bell for your Mexican food needs.
Pros: it is technically 'authentic'
Cons: no bar, bad service, crummy ambience
