The server didn't seem like he wanted to be working on a Saturday. He was a bit rude to my guest but we made the best of the situation. The food is always awesome and so we just ignored the service. Will still visit again because the food is awesome.

I had the camarones jalisco during my visit to Fiesta Bonita and it was truly one of the best things I've ever eaten. I have ordered countless scampi dishes and pastas at other restaurants trying to find this specific flavor profile and nothing even compares to this specific dish. The service was also incredible; our waitress was kind, quick and attentive. Highly recommend.

The place is light and bright the second you walk in. The service is perfecto. We got food so fast it was amazing flavor and authentic. No other place is this good. 10 stars for our waitress and the chef and cooking staff. Please don't pass this place up you would miss out on a wonderful experience. Thank all of you for a wonderful day.

This is a great restaurant. Luis and Sahara bring an authentic Mexican flavor to the region.... Tios platter is my favorite, but they have plenty of great lunch specials also. The burrito Colorado is a favorite for sure! Be sure to try their queso! Unlimited chips and salsa, unlike Locos Kitchen, where you have to beg for extra salsa. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Idaho!

This food was delicious and I LOVED the queso! I thought their portion was a good size for the extra money for the queso! I got the fajita quesadilla and absolutely loved it. Not to mention the service was just awesome and absolutely no wait on anything! If you love Mexican it's worth your time!

We love Fiesta Bonita! Their food is very flavorful, the portions are generous and the staff is attentive and friendly. I get the steak fajitas whenever I eat here. They are better than any I've had at the places in Coeur d'Alene.
