Fiesta Mexicana is proof of the dedication and hard work of Martin and Patricia Rangel, along with their brother-in-law, Caesar Camberos. Their first venture into the food industry was with their Woodland Park, CO branch. Since then, the chain expanded to ten locations, including their restaurant Cortez CO, Farmington, NM, Las Vegas, NV, Moab, UT, as well as their Arizona branches in Avondale, Chandler, Lake Havasu, Page, and Sedona.
What’s for Lunch?
Lunch at Fiesta Mexicana is served from Monday to Friday between 11 am to 3 pm. The restaurant has various offerings such as eggs, burritos, lunch specials, and combos.
A few dishes you must try if you find yourself craving authentic Mexican food for your midday meal are the Huevos Rancheros, which consists of over-easy eggs on top of a soft corn tortilla, and comes with rice and beans, making it ideal for a quick snack or appetizer if you aren’t up for a full meal; and the Rapido Lunch, where you get to choose if you want flauta, taco, enchilada, sopito, or tostada. It’s also served with rice and beans. Plus, you have protein options from shredded chicken or shredded beef, as well as cheese.
There’s also the Arroz con Pollo, which is one of their lunch specials with boneless chicken and sautéed mushrooms in their special vegetable sauce, making it a filling lunch option. Fiesta Mexicana customers also lauded the restaurant’s chicken fajita and having it as the protein for your salad makes a complete, healthy meal.
For those who prefer vegetarian meals, Fiesta Mexicana also serves the Veggie Burrito, which consists of mushrooms, grilled onions, and bell peppers. The burrito is topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream, with whole beans and rice on the side.
Meat lovers, on the other hand, will enjoy the Burrito Verde, which includes flour tortilla brimming with pork. For that sweet, tangy taste that you’ll only find at an authentic Mexican restaurant, the Burrito Verde is cooked with fresh tomatillo sauce.
The Enchiladas Suizas features chicken and two corn tortilla enchiladas. The dish is topped with sour cream and green sauce.
