La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant Charleston

Arrived at Casa Fiesta around 6:30 on a Friday evening for dinner in July. We were seated immediately upon entering the establishment. The restaurant wasn't vacant nor busy; it was comfortably in-between. The ambiance was welcoming, but loud. Unfortunately, the screaming of young children and clanking of dishware echoed off the walls. The decor was very pleasant; I absolutely loved the artwork. 🫶🏻 The table was wobbly and tipped upon placing weight upon it. The booth seats had rice sprinkled across it; they could've used a good wipe-down before seating customers. Our server was kind, quick, thorough and efficient. Food arrived within 15 minutes of placing our order. The server kept our waters filled and checked on us regularly, though we did have to flag them down for the check and a box. They brought chips and salsa to the table while we waited for our dinner, which didn't take us long to clear. The salsa had a delicious flavor and appealing consistency. Unfortunately, it was too spicy for me to eat, but I have a spice sensitivity, so I'm a terrible judge of spice. What I did taste was good though, and the chips were fried perfectly; not overcooked nor oversalted. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and it was delicious. Husband ordered the trio enchiladas, and said they were the best enchiladas he's had in a while. Daughter ordered shredded beef nachos and successfully ate half her plate (which is a good thing; she eats like a mouse). And our son had the machete special and ate most of his plate. Overall, the good was wonderful. The price was affordable and more importantly, we didn't feel ripped off or receive sticker shock. I highly recommend this establishment. You get your money's worth! 🫶🏻 We will return the next time we're in Charleston. Ambiance ⭐⭐⭐ Cleanliness ⭐⭐⭐ Wait time ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Location ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Casa Fiesta was terrific! The food, service, and environment all rocked. There are beautiful blown glass, metal sculptures, and paintings decorating the restaurant. I dined with both adults and children, and even the kiddos loved the food. The table salsa and chips were a delight and immediately disappeared ;) They weren't spicy at all. The chips came to the table still warm! The kids ordered a crunchy beef taco and a beef enchilada--delicious. The adults ordered steak and shrimp, garlic shrimp, and Baja shrimp tacos. I took a picture of my beautiful Baja shrimp tacos: coconut shrimp, avocado, mango, chipotle lime sauce, cabbage, and pico. It was FABULOUS. The service was speedy and attentive with polite, friendly wait staff. We will definitely be back!
