| - My wife and I love to go to La Fiesta and the catch a movie at Richmond Mall... not because movies at Richmond mall are great, but because it's convenient for us. Our move is to get a pitcher of the gold margaritas, have some chips and salsa, maybe a little hot food, and then sober up during the movie.
The gold margaritas are quite good. Very strong. They should be, as a pitcher is $50. But, we've done the math, and really... to get completely loaded on delicious margaritas is not a cheap proposition. No complaints on the price.
When the chips are fresh, which they usually are, they are very good. Properly salted and everything. Their salsa is adequate to slightly above average, as far as cheap Americanized Mexican restaurants go.
They have a tasty chorizo dip, which we usually get. I wouldn't go much further down the menu... we occasionally do dinner there, and I'm always unimpressed.
Their primary seasoning seems to be salt - mounds of it. I like salt more than any healthy person should, and it tends to be too salty for me. Very little spice in anything... I could use some more heat or some more cumin in most dishes.
For some casual Americanized Mexican food, it's decent. The food doesn't suck completely, and the margaritas get the job done and taste good in process.
