I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life. I have eaten out at pretty much almost everywhere in the pittsburgh area. I lived in oakland and greenfield for about 3 years and was addicted to La Fiesta! I love everything about their food! It is the best AUTHENTIC mexican in pittsburgh that you can find.! I always get chicken enchiladas with a beef and cheese quesadilla. They have orginal entree dishes and also have about 15 or so combination dinners ( i always do the combination dinners) I have also had their lunch buffet and it is usually pretty decent. It has everything from the menu on it but sometimes they skimp when refilling it. All you gotta do is say something to the waiter and he will get it filled though. I want to begin by saying that anyone who says they have recieved poor service at this restaurant has OBVIOUSLY never worked a job like this in their life! I have been to La Fiesta at least 40 times. (I averaged twice a week for the 3 years that i lived in the close vicinity.) Every single time I go there, it is one guy (who i am pretty sure is the owner) and he is ALWAYS our waiter! always... He is usually the only waiter in the entire restuarant with the exception of a woman who tends to work weekend nights or busier evenings during their half price( 11pm-1am). He works extremely hard and it is very obvious that he is running around like crazy waiting on anywhere from 2 to upwards of 10-12 tables at a time alone. He is very nice and it is clear to see he works very hard. I have never gotten a bad meal there! Go to la fiesta if you are even slightly considering it, you will love it! just take into consideration when you go there that a very hardworking family is making authentic mexican and even if it takes a few extra minutes than ordinary to get your chips or water, it is well worth the wait because it is a great meal. Dont rush yourself! take your time and enjoy your dinner out! dont be so prude about waiting a few extra lousy minutes for a good meal!
Pros: excellent chicken enchiladas, half price 11pm-2am, buffet 11am- 2pmweekdays
Cons: sometimes skimpy on refilling buffet, but just ask for more!
