| - As far as (American) Mexican food goes, Gran Fiesta is pretty standard. The restaurant itself is HUGE...like, big enough for them to be able to close an entire section of the dining room on a Friday night- and still not have a wait. This is a definite plus...I don't like waiting for my Mexican food!
Our server didn't seem to have the world's best grasp on the English language, so we didn't really feel comfortable asking him questions about the menu. With that said, we played it safe and ordered fajitas and a combination platter.
The entrees hit our table in less than 5 minutes...fast even by Mexican restaurant standards. Unfortunately, I was hoping for a little more of a kick from the food here. Even the chile relleno wasn't very spicy. I normally don't have to ask for hot sauce at Mexican places...but it was definitely required here. The server brought us some house-made hot sauce, and the quality of the food infinitely improved after a couple spoonfuls of the stuff.
Following dinner, I ordered the flan for dessert. It was horrible...way too heavy, and masked by all kinds of toppings. Chocolate sauce and whipped cream on flan?? Totally unnecessary.
Overall, I can't say I had a horrible dinner at Gran Fiesta, but it wasn't anything special by any means. The meal was really quick and affordable, but not really anything you can't find at any suburban Mexican place.
