"We stopped in for the first time on a Sunday evening; noticed the outdoor dead winter planters on the sidewalk, and the bag of ice melt it's been 3 months since winter ended, not a good sign. Inside, service for seating and ordering was prompt. Immediately noticed that the tabletop was excessively sticky, however, which was a huge turnoff. When your arms, napkins, and even your cell phone stick to the table, it is an issue. Is it clean? Is it a buildup of grime or cleaner? Either way, not acceptable. Chips and salsa were hot and fresh. I ordered the Tropical Fajitas, which according to the photo, showed a fresh pineapple half, filled with the described meats and fajita veggies. On arrival, the entree looked nothing like the photo. 3 canned pineapple rings lay on top, another 2 were buried under cheese sauce with the tough, overcooked shrimp, and julienned (too thin a cut for high heat) steak and chicken, which all continued to cook on the hot fajita platter. If they were out of fresh pineapple, that should have been mentioned to me as I ordered. If the dish is never made with fresh pineapple, the menu photo and description needs to be changed. While the meat mix had flavor, it was drenched in cheese sauce and tough. I usually send items back when they're not acceptable but last night chose not to due to personal circumstances. We may return to try other items; my husband's Enchilada Verdes were tasty. We happened to see a server using an all purpose cleaner on the other highly varnished booth tables near us, so we assume the sticky situation is varnish becoming tacky with cleaner over time. Hopefully the business takes some time to pay attention to all of these things, but when customers continue to rave about the food, sometimes the business doesn't care enough to bring other concerns up to a higher standard."

"I live close to this restaurant so I decided to give it a try for my first time. I ordered for my fiance and myself for a Friday supper date after a long day at work. So I get home and me and my girl start eating. The chimichanga and burrito plate wasn 't bad at all. After we both had a few bites of our supper we went for our chips and cheese dip. So far everything was decent until my fiance spotted a roach in the chip bag while I was holding it. I automatically squeezed the bag shut and got my phone to take a picture. When I called the restaurant and the hostess told me to send her the pictures and he would call me asap. So the next day, today, I messaged her phone asking if there was a reason he never returned my call? So he calls me about 30 minutes later. He says they spray 2 times a month but couldn 't give me their name. I didn 't call for a free meal, I called for principal. His words was extremely few without remorse and assured me that they don 't have any bugs . So when I asked why they spray twice a month for bugs they don 't have his reply was have a good day and hung up. I do not know this managers name nor is it important. He 's rude and without any remorse so 5/20/22 is the first time I 've ever left a bad review. Look at the pictures and reviews before you eat here. My next call will be to the health department. It 's not about the meal , how I was talked to as a customer is disturbing. I have two houses and never had any problems with roaches before. I will definitely not be going back to La Gran Fiesta!!"
