La Fiesta Cafecito - Winnipeg

We got the signature dinner for 2 and it was fantastic! The variety given to us was perfect. If you want to try a whole bunch of things and can't decide just pick one of the dinners for 2's. The tortilla soup was tasty, just the right amount of spice. I could eat a huge bowl of it! The fresh juices were both delicious and unique. Everything from our dinner had a unique and different flavour and the flavours were beautiful. The variety was perfect. I cannot wait to go back again! I took off a .5 in the rating because I found the service to be a bit spotty. Very friendly and warm but a little slow.

Pros: great food, the service is super friendly, and I love that they cater to vegans. They offer two different vegan combo platters and they're pretty filling for what you get. The tamales are the best part: so sweet and soft. Their drinks all taste so fresh and fruity, especially the sangria and lemonade.<br/ <br/ Cons: the service is SLOW. It took us an hour to get salad and another hour after that for our entrees. The place wasn't even that busy! Plus we came on a night there was a mariachi singer. I don't know who installed their sound system, but the mic quality was fuzzy and way too loud for such a small space. The guy kept wandering from table to table, serenading people while they awkwardly smiled and looked uncomfortable.<br/ <br/ Bottom line: if you have somewhere else to be, are on a first date, or just don't like waiting two hours for food, eat somewhere else. I'd like to say the food is worth the wait, but not quite.

Amazing food, service and people! Great menu choices! To put it simply.....you are missing out if you haven't been here! You will forever crave it!

Food was good and authentic, service friendly and accomodating, they made a great subsititute to accomodate my allergies during dessert,have been impressed every time I have gone there, its a great local place,if it gets really discovered you will never get a seat so try it now

La Fiesta is a family owed restaurant that serves El Salvadorian food. I was here on a Sunday a few weeks ago. I was rather disappointed with how slow the service was and how limited the selection of items was on the Sunday menu. The only items that were available to choose from were pupusa, quesadilla, yuca frita (deep fried cassava), tamales and maybe one or two more items. The regular dishes including burritos, enchiladas and others were unavailable. <br/ <br/ In contrary, due to the limited dish selection that were available on the Sunday, the restaurant offered a number of specials/discounts, which was something I appreciated very mcuh and it definitley was an incentive for costumers to come back. <br/ <br/ At my visit, I'm not sure what the occasion was but during our meal, a man in full El Savaroean costume came by and put on a lovely traditional performance. He came by our table and sang a few folk songs. He even explained the story behind the tune. What an experience! This might be something you can request if you'd like a special performance on a special occasion. <br/ <br/ In terms of food, they are good but they're definitely not nearly as good as Mercadito Latino. I would come back again only if there's a reason to.
