La Fiesta Cafecito - Winnipeg

I am not one to write a review because everyone's experiences are so different. That being said I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING ...... food was AMAZING. Best Papusas I have ever had, chicken burrito full of rich flavor. I could go on and on but I don't want to bore anyone that is reading this. Trust me, you must go!!! <br/ <br/ Sorry for the lack of pictures ... I already ate it.

Pros: great food, the service is super friendly, and I love that they cater to vegans. They offer two different vegan combo platters and they're pretty filling for what you get. The tamales are the best part: so sweet and soft. Their drinks all taste so fresh and fruity, especially the sangria and lemonade.<br/ <br/ Cons: the service is SLOW. It took us an hour to get salad and another hour after that for our entrees. The place wasn't even that busy! Plus we came on a night there was a mariachi singer. I don't know who installed their sound system, but the mic quality was fuzzy and way too loud for such a small space. The guy kept wandering from table to table, serenading people while they awkwardly smiled and looked uncomfortable.<br/ <br/ Bottom line: if you have somewhere else to be, are on a first date, or just don't like waiting two hours for food, eat somewhere else. I'd like to say the food is worth the wait, but not quite.

Amazing food, service and people! Great menu choices! To put it simply.....you are missing out if you haven't been here! You will forever crave it!

Earlier this week we had the latest installment of our Why Cook Wednesday supper club.  Our last gathering was at the Noodle Express for Dim Sum. This month the theme was South American. Two of the regular attendees suggested La Fiesta Cafecito. I looked it up and knew that it would be close to the south end of the St. Anne’s bus route. Fortunately, the bus stops just by the side of the strip mall where the restaurant is located.

A mini vacation. With the music and atmosphere along with the food it felt like we were away for the night. Highly recommend for a chill night out.
