  • This place is exactly what a Mexican (American) restaurant should be. Warm nachos and fresh salsa on the table. Cold Dos Equis beer, Frozen Margaritas with lots of tequila. Delicious Southwestern food. My wife got the fajitas, they looked great. I had the Combo #13: chilli relleno, burrito, enchilada. The chilli relleno was quite good! It had lots of good spicy heat, and the melted cheese was perfect. I'm not sure why people gripe about this kind of place. I think, for the record, it should be noted that Rick Bayless is a smug douchebag. How does one get a show on PBS? Be a great chef? No, those are a dime a dozen, and found more easily on food network. Seriously, what gets you a show on PBS is the magnitude of your capacity for douchey smugness. Case in point: Rick Bayless, Rick Steves, and pretty much anyone who has a cooking show on that channel. Don't let them be your guide to restaurant faire of any kind, least of all ethnic varieties. I lived in Mexico with a host family, and Mexican food shares little in common with what passes for it in the USA. Yet, most of the people running Mexican Restaurants here are of Mexican descent. Why is that? Are they traitors to their culture? Are they maleducados, destruyando la raza? NO! It's because when they arrived here, they realized that most Americans don't really enjoy eating chicharron, chapulines, and mole, even though those things are absolutely authentic. These entrepreneurs did what any good businessman does: market research. So, upon what shall we judge "Mexican" restaurants? 1. Atmosphere--Gran Fiesta has a good one, and they make birthdays fun with a sombrero. 2. Flavor--Gran Fiesta's food is delicious, and reminiscent of Mexican food in all the right ways. Their free salsa is delicious! 3. Good value for portion sizes--Check 4. A decent beverage menu--yup 5. Pleasant, efficient servers--yes! The only reason that Gran fiesta doesn't get 5 full stars from me is that their dining room is a little dated and could use an upgrade.
