What People Are Saying About Fiesta Cantina
Featured Review

The Scene – A thatched hut sprinkled with strands of chili pepper lights provides the perfect backdrop for spring break levels of tropical drink consumption. Music pumps in the background from the high-energy jukebox, where the hits range from Nikki French remixes to the original "Boys of Summer." Inside, spray-painted beach scenes depict hunky dudes in skimpy shorts, and giant blow-up beer bottles and colorful piñatas dangle from the ceiling. The popular rooftop deck sports a spacious, loungey perch to check out the action below, capping off the "frat boy for the queer guy" decor…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- The daily happy hour runs from 4pm to 8pm, and features 2-for-1 drinks--literally. You get two servings of everything you order.
- Parking:
- Metered street parking fills up fast. Utilize the $3 overflow spaces at the car wash just east of the club.
- Know Before You Go:
- The bar offers a full menu of Mexican favorites like crispy fajitas and lemony guacamole.
- The Extras:
- The bar has only two bathrooms, one for men and one unisex. Neither is particularly well maintained.

BAD!
by VFonk
Horrible!!! The security guy almost knock down the bathroom door because (god forbids!) I use the "male" bathroom instead of the unisex bathroom!!! I tried to talk to the manager after the harassment and a guy on underwear showed up who was practically laughing at me. So... I want my money back!!!! If you wanna have a great time stay away from this place.
Don't waste your time!
by tonysparks
UGH, what a dump! I brought 5 friends with me to have a couple cocktails last night. We usually won't will pass up a place with a line and move on to something where we can walk right in. But, we wanted to meet a couple of local friends who were already inside.
THE WAIT WAS NOT WORTH IT! By the time we got served by the smarmy bartender, an hour of our WEHO fun night had been wasted on waiting to get in and waiting to be waited on.
I ordered a round of drinks for my friends, but the (not very attractive by weho standards) bartender seemed to be more interested in serving more customers, than giving us what we ordered. When I got his attention and told him he got my drink wrong (I ordered a Bud and he served me Miller 64), he said "we don't have bud", then just moved onto the next customer again. I asked him to take the drinks off my bill and he refused. I finally had to get the manager (Marcos), who was standing there not doing a thing. I told him that I wanted the money refunded and he told me I had to wait yet again. I finally insisted on a full refund and we (all 7 of us) left.
I'll never waste my time on the crap hole again. And that includes the San Diego store too. Both of them are filled with slightly unattractive people who are way too drunk. NEVER AGAIN.
The ABBEY, MICKYS AND ELEVEN WILL BE GETTING MY BUSINESS!!

DIRTY TABLES AND STAFF M.I.A.
by santiagolmex
Yesterday I went to fiesta and grabbed a table. And then waited. And waited.... finally the busboy came over to at least clean the filthy table off. After making a few circles around my table yet still managing to ignore me, I found out thatLogan was the waiter on that section.....
Useless "Manager"
by jflores73
Will someone please tell me what purpose "manager" Scott serves at Fiesta Cantina? Had an incident a few days back where a careless irresponsible bartender gave my credit card to someone else; I did notice that the bartender who gave my card away was too busy socializing and taking shots with friends/patrons which explains his carelessness. I addressed this matter with "manager" Scott. When I approached him he had this arrogant look on his face and he made me feel like I was taking up his valuable time. Needless to say, he walked over to the bar and stood there while I discussed the issue with the bartender. Scott stood there steps away and NOT once did he jump in or say a word. You would think that as the "manager" he would apologize for their mistake and offer to make it up, but not a word. I've been reading other reviews which mention Scott and I realize that this is just the type of person he is and if he continues managing Fiesta they will continue to lose valuable loyal customers and will add to the bad reputation they are building thanks to Scott.
Good Times, Cheap Drinks and Food in WeHo
by Rick Travels
This is a great place, in the center of West Hollywood's nightlife district. Great patio views, lots of big drinks at good prices (and TWO happy hours!). Nachos, chips, and stuff like that are great value for a group.
Waiters are indeed, young, dumb and hung, but very friendly. Easy on the eye, too. (If you go with a group, have one person work with the waiter, to make sure no surprises on the bill later).
We ALWAYS start off our nights in WeHo with friends at Fiesta Cantina.
- Pros: Cheap Drinks, Good Value on Food
- Cons: Sometimes Packed
