We were there with a big group (13), during a busy week.
Services was good, especially considering the size of the group and the school holiday. Â The house margs were surprisingly good (not too sweet). Â We ordered the pitcher! Â Food was also very good. Â The mole was a bit peanut butter-ish but overall food was good. Â Yes, I would go back.
We ate a late lunch and really loved it. Â Good portions, great service, nice atmosphere and delicious Margaritas...had the specials at a dollar off. Â The medium size Margarita was equal to about three drinks. Â The food was fresh, authentic and flavorful. Â We came with our kids who are picky eaters and they enjoyed every bite.
The margarita list is extensive and goes from traditional with a twist to more "fun-frozen cocktails". Â It is a great place to check out while in Steamboat for vacation winter or summer.
Ate around 6:30pm. Was not too busy so we were seated right away.
The chips and salsa was good with a great homemade taste.
I had the pork carnitas which was simply OK. The meat was dry but the beans, pico, and rice was good.
My wife had the shrimp fajitas. They was just OK as well.
Favors were simple and not overstated. Overall a good meal, but not worthy of 5 stars.
Fiesta Jalisco still remains at the top of my list for Mexican in Steamboat.
The food remains consistent. The menu is large and offers something for everyone. The portions are still HUGE. The margarita list is still long and extensive, the special margarita still remains my favorite, and the glasses are still the size of my head. The table service is pleasant and efficient, not a dining experience.
I certainly recommend making reservations during busy season, especially Friday and Saturday nights. However, the hostesses are still my major gripe. Yet again we made a reservation and called multiple times to confirm. Yet again we arrive at the restaurant to a very confused hostess trying to play like we didn't make one, after a few minutes she found our reservation. You either take reservations or you don't ... gotta improve the hostess position.
If you like Chilis, this place is for you. If you actually like Mexican food (ie the food they actually eat in Mexico)- walk on by. This is to Mexican as Dominos is to Italian. I don't get the amazing reviews. We found it pretty gross, premade and frozen foods. My 7 year old calls it 'the place with the awful food'
Review Source:In Steamboat, you can generally find better wait service at the Mexican restaurants than elsewhere; so for treatment, it's pretty good.
Most of the food is average, however, their Chicken en Mole is superb. The environment is fairly nice, with a partial view of Fish Creek Canyon.
They obviously take a great deal of pride in their margaritas, which are offered in small, medium, and large, while the respective prices are Gasp, OMG, and WTF.
.
First stop this season for a BIG lunch. When I stopped at 1400, they offered both a lunch and dinner menu.
Since I just completed 10000 vertical feet in the morning, I opted for lunch. Selecting two enchiladas, what I got was a huge plate of rice, Cole slaw, and two of the enchiladas stuffed and I do mean stuffed with shredded chicken. Biggest portion I have had at any Mexican restaurant in the states. Coupled with an Arnold Palmer in a huge glass that was never empty, I got a great lunch for $11 plus tip.
No wonder Fiesta is my first choice for Mexican in Steamboat.
We were looking for a nice place to eat in Steamboat Springs, and the Yelp reviews for this place were awesome. Â We got there and the smell immediately made me realize this place was special -- it was warming and soulful. Â Our waiter was very attentive and sweet and answered all of my foreign friends' questions to the best of his ability.
Delicious salsa and homemade chips while we waited. AMAZING margaritas. Â I had the quesadilla w/ shrimp and veggies and my friend had the caesar salad. Â Both were executed really well. Â I couldn't even believe how perfectly done the shrimp was. Â Definitely a special place and always worth the trip!
We ate here on a Monday night, so it wasn't extremely busy or crowded. I had a medium "cabana margarita" that was 15.95. I have had $5.00 margaritas that were better.
Our server was friendly but hardly ever around. My husband had a beef chimichanga  but the beef was too spicy for him and he ate 4 bites.  The chicken enchilada was good though.
All in all for the price it wasn't worth it. Not horrible but I would not return.
Everything tasted really good and fresh- delicious salsa, lots of nice heat in the burritos, loads of spinach in the enchilda. Cabbage salsa is really good (way better than at Tequilas...well, that goes for everything here). Excellent service until the very end when I think our sweet and gracious server went to take a little siesta. But no worries; we were pretty relaxed after a full day of skiing and a pile of good mexican food!
Review Source:First time visiting Steamboat and definitely not the last! Â Didn't know what to eat after a long day of boarding with friends... Mexican food is what we were after... so we all yelped it and decided on this place. Â I'm glad we did!
We were a party of five and got seated quickly. Â The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Â I must say their "original" margarita 24oz. is pretty good. Â Have 2 of them and that'll make you feel warm and fuzzy inside :)
Food was delicious... I had their beef enchilada, and OH MY was it amazing!... Others ordered carne asada (yum), rib eye (perfect medium rare), and a shrimp burrito (also very tasty). Â All were cooked exactly how we wanted. Â
I gave it one less star because @ 8pm they were already out of rice. Â Most their meals comes with beans and rice, and they were out when we ordered.
Overall ,the place was clean, service was great and food and atmosphere was awesome... if I were ever in the area again, I would most likely return!
If people in Orlando, FL were telling me about how good this place is I had to try it out.
They were right. Â It was the first time I had ever had something with a Mole' sauce on it and it was amazing. Â I could have bathed in that sauce. Â All the Mole's I've had since then have not been the same.
Service was awesome. Â Our server was very polite and attentive.
Portion sizes were generous.  I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day.  The salsa was homemade and everything  tasted super fresh.  Best thing of all I think I spent about twelve bucks!
You should absolutely try this place if you're in the mood for good, authentic Mexican.
Adequate little Mexican joint. We popped in here after a somewhat dismal tour of many chain restaurants near the hotel we were staying.
The food was good, not great. The margaritas were okay. We were pretty hungry. I'd probably not go back if I was in the area, it was just . . . sorta . . . Meh.
Between town and mountain in the back of a strip center--you need to hunt it down. Extremely kid-friendly and the food is very good. Huge menu.
All of the grilled meat dishes (carne asada and chicken-based) are really tasty. I like the mole, the green sauces, and the chile relleno a lot too. The relleno has an almost omelet-like outer coating rather than a deep-fried bread, and the interior is more like a soufflé (cheese, milk and flour?). It's substantial, but not gut-wrecking cheesy.
The back patio is one of the nicest outdoor places to eat with kids--not fancy, and there's no big view, but it's right on Fish Creek with very little sense of traffic (there is an office-park lot next door, but it's not busy).
We like going and letting the kids play along the creek until the food comes. Then they eat and run back to the creek, which lets me and my wife enjoy a peaceful, unstressed meal. The sopapillas are nice, and they're free on your birthday (they used to sing to you too, but they've stopped that). I'm not crazy about the margueritas, but I prefer beer with my Mexican food.
Another great Yelp! find. Â After making the beautiful drive from Aspen to Steamboat in the family cruiser, we were looking for a good meal when we pulled into town. Â Mexican is usually the preferred fare for our family so we looked around Yelp for help. Â Restaurant Jalisco received favorable reviews, so we gave it a shot.
First off, their classic margarita is just the way I like it, simple. Â Tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. Â It comes in its own shaker left at the table and was excellent!
The food was very good. Â I had Arroz con Pollo. Â Seasoning was spot on and it was a large amount of food. Â My wife had Enchiladas and before I could ask her how they tasted...they were gone.
I would highly recommend Fiesta Jalisco when in Steamboat!
Fiesta Jalisco was a great restaurant. Â The service was outstanding and we loved the food. Â I ordered the carne asada, which was fantastic. My wife had the chicken mole which she loved also. Â My youngest ordered a taco from the kids menu and she thought it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Review Source:Closest thing to Tex Mex in Steamboat. This family has perfected the art of running a great Mexican Food Restaurant. Food is very, very tasty and fresh, affordable and you'll never leave hungry. Excellent service! Huge menu, great margaritas. I normally go for one of the combination dinners, tacos al carbon de carne asada or the enchiladas suiza! Awesome! The servers love to speak Spanish so feel free to give it your best shot. Children are always welcome, they love them here. Order some "mild salsa" for anyone that's not interested in a little heat. Have fun and save a little room for some sopapias!
Review Source:Not a bad place for Mexican fare in northwestern Colorado. Â I figure, if they at least know what region of Mexico they represent, they've got a bit more 'on the ball' than most places.
One of the few places I encountered out west that knew a 'taco al pastor' from hole in the wall. Â Caution though, they do tend to smother everything in sauce, so if you don't prefer that (like myself) you need but ask and they'll leave 'em dry for you.
If memory serves me, I think they even had horchata (sweetened rice water with a hint of cinnamon) a rare treat.
