We have been to La Fiesta of Pekin twice. Both on a Saturday. Both times we had very good service and the food was terrific. I've had the Juan Special which was very good. I've also had the specialty taco trio and enjoyed the fish, shrimp, and pork tacos. My wife ordered the chili rellenos and was kind enough to allow me to taste them - delicious. The serving sizes were more than adequate. I've never been to the Morton or Canton locations so I have nothing to compare with Pekin. We've had two good experiences at La Fiesta of Pekin and plan on returning.
This family owned chain of Mexican restaurants is very popular in the area, so I was anxiously awaiting the opening in early July 2023 in Pekin, Il. Construction of the new facility wrapped up and they had a "soft opening" in early July, 2023. Almost imediately, bad reports started to filter in, mostly concerning the food, so the wife and I decided to wait a while before dining there. So, this weekend we stopped in and had an evening meal. The facility (being new) was very nice and the waitstaff did a good job of seating and getting drink orders. The complenentary salsa and chips was excellent. The chips were still warm and the salsa was (in our opinion) perfectly made, tasty with just a hint of heat. On to the meal. She had the chicken fajitas ($18.00) and came with rice, beans, flour tortillas (3), Mexican salad and pico de gallo. She passed on the guacamole and sour cream. I opted for my personal favorite the Juan Special ($15.00) and it came with flour torilllas (3), rice and beans. Soft drinks were $3.00 each with free refills. Remembering complaints from others, I was a little apprehensive, but when the food arrived all doubt was erased. The helping were more than adequate, and the plates were sizzling hot, piled high with spiced meat, peppers, onions and other veggies. The seasoning of the food was perfect and the meal was TASTY!! We ate like pigs and still had plenty to bring home! We will definetly be eating there again.
