Just got back from a golf cart ride out to Colony Plaza for ice cream at McDonalds and saw that the new mexican restaurant Fiesta Grande is open. Must be having a 'soft open' as I haven't seen any advertising. We will probably go there for lunch tomorrow...

I noticed it open last night, had just finished eating at Oakwood. I can't wait to give it a try but I'm leaving the bubble for a while, it will have to wait.

I'm hoping the food is good....I LOVE mexican! Now the question is:

Do we go during the grand opening or do we wait a few weeks to give them time to iron the bugs out?

If it's as good as their other store it will be a great addition to the area.

Don't want no Bugs!!

Where is their other store?

[skip0358]

Their other store is in Mount Dora. Ate there on one of our visits. Food and atmosphere were both good.

Woo Hoo! We need good Mexican food in The Villages. Tried the one in Spanish Springs over the summer, it was ok but doesn't measure up to what we have in the Chicago area. Can't wait to try Fiesta Grande out next week.

True...but the trade is worth it, huh?
At least I cook Mexican and Italian food well!

I hope its a winner!!! The last Mexican/TexMex place at Colony Plaza was a flop and went oob.

We ate there Saturday afternoon. My husband and I shared a Chicken/Steak Fajita Combo. They don't have their liquor license yet so I missed out on my margarita, but the food was very good. They were very pleasant.

Had lunch there yesterday and the food and service were very good. I think they are a keeper.

We are so thrilled to have a Mexican restaurant in Colony. We love Sakura for Japanese and now Fiesta Grande! I LOVE ethnic! My husband and I ate lunch there today and were very pleased. Probably my only critique would be that it would have been nice to have been greeted by a host or hostess. We stood there like idiots for a few minutes and didn't even get a glance from the bartender for a glance of recognition. A waiter who had a free moment seated us. Probably just a kink that they will work out. Nice Mexican music playing. Very, very nice! We WILL return!

I have been to the new Mexican resturant,,,and it is very good...a few kinks in service but not bad at all...they don't have a liquor license right now, but their food is served very quickly and hot, and there is plenty of it.....
