Top notch homemade recipes from fresh ingredients, we enjoyed every bite

I have been spoiled after living in Austin for almost 30 years, so I am picky when it comes to spending my hard earned money to eat out. I was so impressed with the steak fajitas...so tender and flavorful! A lot of places tend to over salt...these were perfect I've now been here twice and this time the service was also superp! Thank you to Anthony D for your excellent attentiveness (but not overly) and your smile! We were very happy overall!

La Fiesta is a second home for me and my husband; today was not that day. We were warned that it was about to change to a $10 food minimum and before 8 PM. That was fine, considering food here is pricy compared to some other places in town, we always spend more than $10 on food anyway. We got there tonight and planned on 2 apps and some margs, then realized it wouldn't hit the $10 minimum. We added a dessert. When we got the bill, the add on of carne asada on the app (which was discounted before was ALMOST as much as the app! So, the app was $4.50ish and then we paid full price for additional meat, which hadn't happened before. I brought it up to the waiter, and he was irritated but said he would get the manager. I don't blame him on that; it was one of the busiest nights I'd ever seen there. The manager comes and hadn't seen this issue before. He comes back saying the first time we had done this, we got a discounted rate. This time, this is the real price. He gave us $0.99 off the order... Well, not great. But if that's true, it is what it is. Excellent managerial service would've knocked it off this time but warned us for the next. I would've gladly accepted that even more. But I paid it... As we were leaving, it hit me that the whole reason we even ordered something extra was the $10 minimum, and if we had known that adding carne asada was going to be charged FULL PRICE at HALF PRICE APPETIZER HOUR, we wouldn't have ordered it. I saw the waiter at the cashier station on the way out and tried to let him know for future patrons, and he would not make eye contact with me and hardly nodded his head. Now, we go regularly, and that is because we also love the employees (especially Max he is the most friendly and sincere waiter out there! But the rudeness we were treated with by him... That makes me just not want to come back. He may have just been having a hard, busy day (as we really didn't see him much tonight anyway... , and this was the icing on the cake. But I don't tolerate that when I could eat at home for a fraction of the cost. We won't give up on La Fa just yet (best margs in town! , but if this is a continuous experience, we will find another local favorite.
