Nestled away on Lower Main Rd in Obs, we found El Fiesta. Like most places in Obs, bunched up so closely together, drive past it, blink and you're most likely to miss it. Finding parking was a mission, but eventually after going round the block twice, a spot opened up and we landed up right outside the entrance. But, on a Thursday night, at 19h00, we literally had the place to ourselves which made me question the legitimacy of the restaurant. Putting my fears aside, however, myself and Trev made for a table in the middle of the room and the evening began!
The restaurant, small but cosy, plays home to multiple Mexican references. The best has to be the multitude of grand sombreros that line the walls, playing host to wonderful photos, and crazy moments! The awesome South American music was bringing out the salsa dancers in us, and we quietly enjoyed a little salsa in the middle of the empty restaurant, to the waiters and barman's amusement I'm sure!
Choice of food - there is a wide variety on offer, everything and anything from Nachos to Burritos and Tortillas. Due to the restaurant being empty, our food arrived quickly and piping hot! I wasn't too convinced of the Nachos dish - I've seen and tasted better, but did appreciate the abundance of sour cream, tomatoes and guacamole. Trevor's wraps on the other hand were amazing!
It won't necessary be my first choice of an evening out again, but I would like to pop by and try my hand at the other items on the menu - take a crowd, take photos, find the Mexican in you! A lively yet quiet evening which goes to show, it's the company that counts, not where you at :)
Olé!
