"I had a great time dining here for lunch. The food was excellent! Its a great restaurant in Dupont. It may not be the most authentic Mexican restaurant, but it certainly beats Taco Bell. It's also not too pricey for food in Dupont Circle. I will come back here for dinner sometime."

"Found this place on OT as the family was craving Mexican. When we walked up and saw the green awning we were a bit confused. But when you walk upstairs it has a great, vibrant atmosphere. The tapas was fantastic. The main course was okay. The service was great - both the manager/waiter were really helpful."

"The service was so-so. Our server did not seem to be knowledgable of the menu and had to keep running back to the kitchen when we had questions. She also messed up my dinner order but the shrimp tacos I recevied instead of my quesadilla were amazing. Good experience the food was very good. I recommend the margaritas but not the sangria, it tasted watered down."

"I had a really good experience at Fiesta. I went on a Saturday evening and they were very accomodating (I had a reservation for 15 people and they had my table set up and ready and were very friendly.) The food wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't bad either. Love the music and the energy of the place."

"This restaurant has an IDENTITY CRISIS. It looks like a Mexican restaurant, but it had a noveau American tapas menu (which was quite good). They need to work on their drinks and not use cheap mixes, but the food was fantastic."

"I have celiac disease so I can't eat gluten. We go out to tapas restaurants all the time and never have an issue because anything that's deep fried is always noted. Well we ordered 6 tapas and 4 of them were deep fried (all 4 of them were tapas that are traditionally NOT fried). Not everything should have to be fried to taste good and you should really note on your menu when something is."

"Had a wonderful meal here, though were a bit reticent when we arrived as we were the only ones there at 6:30pm. It was New Years day though.

But the food was some of the best Mexican I've had outside Mexico and L.A. My family had fajitas, and the steak was the most tender I've ever had; clearly marinated for a considerable period. We had tapas too, including the grilled calamari, chili relleno, lime asparagus, and chorizo (with red cabbage!), and each were top notch.
