La Fiesta Chatham

Get this party started on a Saturday night.
Everybody is lazy, don't want to cook.
Sending out a message to all of my fam,
We'll be looking Midwestern in your Dodge Ram.
I got a Columbia coat, check my minimalist silver ring.
I can eat tons of tortilla chips, if you know what I mean.

I'm coming to La Fiesta, so you better get some more servers.

Lookin' over the menu, checking out all the vibes.
Why is there a fountain?
Just askin' why.
The one server is freakin' out as the customers are coming in fast,
I'll be left wanting attentive service, best not just walk past.
Pull up to my table, get out the tab,
My debit card says, "Get out of here fast."

I'm coming to La Fiesta, so you better just get take out.

I'd like to say I'd give this place a third chance but I don't think I will. The service was awful, and we were a table of 4 plus a highchair. I don't know if she was overwhelmed or what, but my wife and I didn't get our drinks refilled when we asked. Also one measly basket of chips with a splash of salsa. As far as menu options are concerned I think the menu had a lot to offer. I ordered the combination which came with a tamale (good flavor, a little on the dry side maybe because it was around 6pm.) Cheese quesidilla (it's a cheese quesidilla of course it was good) and a chimichamga with chicken (worse chimichanga I've ever had. Bland chicken, cold, and was barely even fried.) I'd also like to note that our food came to our table wrong twice. We tried asking to speak to someone but we were pretty much ignored. Finally when requesting the check we asked for it to be split and the waitress didn't split it right. We just said screw it and paid left.

Tldr: bland cold food, bad service, over priced menu options. Go to another Mexican joint. You'll have better food and service.

Food is good depending on when you go. It's hit and miss place. Staff is good but sometimes it's a long wait to get drinks even if they are slow

When we came to La Fiesta, we weren't sure what to expect, given the general Mexican food scene in Springfield. However, we were excited the moment we went in! The seating is charming, with a fountain area, vines and fairy lights. Chips, salsa and guac were delicious and tasted homemade/fresh. We ordered the chimichanga and chipotle burrito. Both were absolutely delicious. The burrito, especially, was an innovative twist with a variety of flavors and textures.
The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating towards ourselves and our younger family members.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be frequenting La Fiesta!

Lots of delicious vegan options! La Fiesta has so many vegan friendly dishes! There's vegan chorizo, chicken, beef, tofu, and even a few dessert options! I've tried the tofu burrito, tofu tacos, vegan fried ice cream, and vegan cheesecake chimichangas. There is sometimes a language barrier to be aware of. We've had them get the dessert order wrong and give us the non-vegan version. Luckily, my date knew it wasn't the vegan version. Great date night spot too!

This place is the best Mexican restaurant around hands down. The proprietors really know how to treat a customer. The drinks are reasonably priced and the food portions are good. Once the folks who work there know who you are, they treat you like familia! Easily my favorite restaurant!!

Really great vegan menu!!! Service is very attentive and nice. I will definitely return! :)

This is a very family friendly restaurant. The staff are good to you and they treat your kiddos well. The food is great and the waiting staff are attentive. No complaints here.

I've eaten plenty at Xochimiloco and Casa Real with low expectations for Mexican cuisine in and around town, but Holy cow, this has to be the best Mexican food around here. Everything had great flavor and you can just tell they used fresh produce. Decor is beautiful with Real plants and vines growing above your head! All for a very reasonable price and delish margaritas!

Great food and service. They have a good selection of food for vegetarians as well, which I appreciate. It's so hard to get good vegetarian food that is vegetarian friendly.
