Fiesta’s New Mexican Cafe & Cantina

I cant fully express how horrible this place is. The ground beef taco tasted like hormel chili in a hard shell… i could never see going back here for anything but an adult beverage…

Mandatory stop for us when in Vail valley. Outstanding food and value.
And great margaritas. Favorite is blue corn chicken enchilada with jalapeños sauce. Echo other comments about great bang for the buck.

Our new favorite whenever we’re in the Edwards area. The chicken chili relleno is amazing!

Everything here was delicious! To start we had the chips with chile con queso and salsa, the shrimp ceviche, and a round of margaritas and beers. The Rosangel margarita is very good, and pretty looking too! The ceviche tasted fresh, and the salsa had a nice flavor. I ordered the shrimp rellenos and thought they were very good… two chile peppers stuffed with shrimp, battered and fried, topped with the delicious white jalapeño sauce. I tasted the shredded beef burrito and thought the meat had a great flavor. Others ordered the spinach enchiladas and the tostada platter, and everyone enjoyed their meals. We had the tres leches cake for dessert, and that was amazing… very very good. Everyone left full and happy.

Surprisingly good! We are two out of towners from California that pulled off the highway after hiking and were skeptical to try Mexican food but we enjoyed it very much. The service was great and the employees friendly. Left here very full! I had the enchiladas which are always hit and miss and my fiancé had the steak quesadilla.

Service– ³⁄₅. Nice but not organized. Didn’t get order correct, didn’t fill waters or chips.
Food– not horrible, but really not good. Chips were cold, salsa was tomato sauce, and dinners were bland, boring and over priced. Taco was inedible and fajitas (with grilled tomatoes?) were very average. Friend liked the chicken enchiladas.
Drink– the worst I’ve had in the area. The sangria was like a wine cooler infused with triple sec. The house margarita was not drinkable. We left all the drinks on the table…
The server never asked why all the drinks were left and why so much food was left. Just dropped of the check on the way to another table.
Pretty sad all together. Don’t waste your money. Go eat italian nearby.

We were here 10 years ago so we wanted to try it again. The service was great, the food was ok. I got the Chicken Chili Rellenos. The chicken inside was nice and tender and they were covered in their famous white sauce. Served 2 on the plate along with Spanish rice and retried beans. My husband got the fish tacos and he said they were good.
Overall though I think that is a been there done that experience for us. It was good but not exceptional.

Food was okay, tiny portions (especially for the price) compared to the Tex-​Mex I’m used to, but I may be biased. Wouldn’t recommend it to friends.

I waited to visit this restaurant a few times before righting my review. Each time I’ve come I have had great food but less then par service. I would still still recommend this place because it is 5 star food. Make sure to plan lots of time if you come here because everything comes one step at a time. Also do t fill up on the free chips because their food is worthy saving he room for.

If you like ceiling tiles that are stained with water from a leaky roof, tables and chairs that are chipped, than this is your place.
Cleanliness for us is a big issue.
The overall ambiance of the restaurant is the statement. The food might be good but is overshadowed by how dirty the place looks.
Clean this place up, shame on you.

Food was really good, a little soupy on the huevos rancheros but good on the flavor. Ate two combo plates till it was gone. The chile rellenos were fantastic. Spicy delicious roasted jalapeños. Interesting looking Sopia that was surprisingly delicious with organic honey left happy and full. Took away a star for service. Ate everyones favorite white sauce and it was enjoyed by all.

Loved the margaritas!
The server was wonderful. I have a gluten allergy and she talked to the chef. They whipped up something special for me that was delicious.
We are from VA and really enjoyed the food.

Maybe being from Texas I’m a little spoiled to good mexican — tex mex food… I was not impressed. Although the staff was very friendly the service was very poor.
Our party of 8 was seated promptly so they were not busy.
I had a house margarita and it was fine, but I also ordered a water and had to request it 3 times before it was finally brought to the table and we had to flag someone down any time we wanted refills. A few in our party ordered beers and they were warm.
The chips were thin and crispy which is great but the salsa, both the mild and hot, lacked flavor.
I ordered their fiesta combo which had an enchilada and chili rellano and it was good, but nothing spectacular. I requested sour cream with the plate and it was not added. I asked for it again after the food was brought to the table but it was never received.
Everyone at the table ordered dessert… a few ordered the sopapilla sundae and the rest of us split a basket of sopapillas. They were huge and were steaming hot when we received so that was great, however when we asked for butter to go with the honey it was never brought. A person from the kitchen happened to walk out for something and we asked him for butter and he promptly retrieved some for us. The sopapillas were very thick… not quite what we are used to but they were fine.
Over all the food was fine, a little pricey for what we got but I credit that to the location. The service however will keep me from recommending this to friends.

Overall, it was an average experience in terms of the food. They are known for the jalapeño cheese sauce, which is cheesy but not spicy at all. Yes, it is pretty much good to drown everything you order with it. Ask for aside of it to dip your chips in.
Otherwise, all the food is just standard fare.

Without a doubt one of my two favorite Mexican restaurants in Colorado!
It doesn’t matter what I order it’s always terrific and the staff is always friendly and courteous. If you haven’t been here I totally would recommend that you do!!’

We had a combination plate of a hard taco, wet burrito, and enchilada. The enchilada was tasty: good red sauce and texture to the tortilla. The taco was bland but not unpleasant. The burrito was somewhere in between these two.
It was a bit pricey, but I assume that’s just the ski-​town up charge /​rentflation.
On the good side, the service was friendly and prompt, and the chips and salsa were well above average.
Altogether, it wasn’t unpleasant. Bland tacos are better than no tacos. Get the enchiladas.

On vacation I always ask the locals where to eat. Fiesta’s kept coming up, so after a grueling hike to Hanging Lake, we stopped in, exhausted and starved. Our waitress was fantastic. She looked at us, and could see we needed, water, Margarita’s, and chips with Guacamole. STAT!!!
It was a pleasure to have someone make it easy to just say Yes. She wasn’t trying to pad the bill, she was doing her best to take care of us.
I was way past trying to think about what would be good. Further suggestions were made, and I couldn’t have been happier with what arrived.
The food is very reasonably priced. It’s fresh and it’s good. And the Margarita was fantastic as well.
As I’ve written in other reviews, I love family owned restaurants. And this is no exception!
The service was impeccable, and the staff all seemed to be on top of their game.
There is a Lacrosse camp or something going on right now, and the kids have been wreaking havoc everywhere they go. Their entitled attitude and lack of manners is quite something to see. Apparently 50 of the little darlings left just before we arrived. There was food everywhere, the kids threw it on the floor, the chairs, knocked things over… Picture 50 SPOILED young teenagers away from home…
Reason for the brief story is because the staff of Fiesta’s got everything in order and cleaned up within minutes. They still had a great attitude even after what must have been a very challenging service.
If you are in the area, or passing through Edwards, make it a point to stop here, you won’t be disappointed.

After reading many favorable reviews about Fiesta café, I decided to give it a shot. I came in and was promptly given chips and salsa. I decided to order the 3 item combo; spinach enchilada, Chile rellano, and a fish taco. It took about 15 minutes for my food to come out. The plate was filled with sauce that made it messy to eat. The chile rellano was the highlight of my dinner, while the other items were less than memorable. I expected more from the reviews that I read. While the price is reasonable, I thought the food could have been better. Also, I wanted to order shrimp but they had run out.
The service was okay, but sometimes you had to tell the waitress twice. Compared to California and New Mexico, I’ve had better. I guess it’s okay for CO.

Wow what a good food find!
Attention people out on the road — stop by Fiesta’s New Mexican Café & Cantina.
Driving through Colorado we were looking for some breakfast… I said, «there is a café maybe they have some bacon and eggs…»
The place is very cozy and comfy. It has a nice warm feeling. Service was excellent.
Well, I decided to go for some Huevos Marquez. Eggs smothered in green chili!!! My friend had a breakfast burrito and some menudo. Now I am not a menudo fan because usually the tripe is tough, but My friend said it is the best menudo! So — I had to try it.
That was the best menudo I have ever had. The tripe was incredibly tender — «it was like Butta!» I wish every mexican joint made menudo like that! Major Kudos to the person who makes the menudo at this place!
Seriously — driving through the mountains of Colorado and we find a real good Mexican restaurant with menudo that is bueno bueno bueno!
BTW — Notice I rarely give out 5 stars.

Fiesta’s is a fantastic hole in the wall located in a strip-​mall. We heard about this place through an acquaintance, and their recommendation was dead on. The server had come by several times before our entire party was there but then when we were all there she was no where to be found. But the food made up for it, and the service picked up.
I’ve said it before, but the true test of a Mexican restaurant for me is their chili rellanos. Damn. Fiesta’s were awesome! Sooo crunchy and cheesy! Mmmm…
Rice and beans were just ok.
Carne Adobada was savory but kinda dry.
The blue corn tortilla chicken enchilada was great as well.
I’d definitely come back if I’m ever in these neck of the woods again.
