| - Opened in September 2007, it's taken me 6 months to come in for a try. The flavors are authentic, the margaritas pack a punch and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is cute inside, filled with authentic art work, and hand-carved booths, tables and chairs imported from Mexico. Owner Martin Bolanos operates three La Fiesta Mexican Grill restaurants in Chattanooga, TN. I am not sure how he ended up with a restaurant in PA.
Acoustics wise, this place gets 1 star. Host staff gets a -2. But our server was great, although there seemed to be a tiny bit of a language barrier. And the food was delicious, although it took a long time to pour over all the selections. In the mean time, we stuffed ourselves full of the complimentary homemade chips and yummy hot salsa. I finally decided on the camerones diablo, a dozen nice sized butterflied shrimp covered in a spicy red sauce, served with fluffy rice, pico de gallo and lettuce. My handsome friend, the ever charming Robert had enchilada mexicanas; one chicken, one beef and one with beans. All were topped with cheese, green sauce, red sauce and sour cream with rice and beans. I had the usual strawberry margarita, although next time, I think I'll be adventuresome and try a mango or a watermelon. Robert had some sort of Mexican beer. We were too stuffed for dessert, although they serve the usual fried ice cream, sopilla and flan.
The place turned into a mad house before we left, apparently 6 o'clock is major chow time in Wexford. The restaurant is very family friendly, kids everywhere.
