Fiesta Grande

At the time of this review there are three Mexican restaurants in Marysville. The other two should close up shop immediately. I’m not sure why the other restaurants got favorable reviews. All I can say is the reviewers probably work there. Anyway, this one will beat most Mexican American restaurants in Central Ohio. Their food is stellar and I haven’t had this kind of service in the cornfield called Marysville ever. I’m not saying this is the most authentic Mexican restaurant east of the Mississippi, just that the food is really good. Oh and the Margheritas are the great!

From the outside it would give you second thoughts. as far as Mexican cuisine goes but once we entered and got over the loud colors the service was excellent the food was fantastic and we couldn’t be happier some of the best Mexican food that we’ve had around Ohio anywhere we will go there again and again and we suggest you do too

Great place for lunch.
Wonderful staff
They started charging for soft drinks.
Used to be included. This drives up the cost of lunch. Making the lunch pushing close to $ 10.00 with tip Still not bad
Just won’t visit as often.

I want to start by saying the service was great! We were seated quickly, chips salsa and drinks came directly and our waitress was lovely.
The reason for my sub par review: I ordered from the vegetarian section on the menu and recieved a dish that seemed to be served with a chicken based sauce. I asked our server upon tasting my meal if the sauce was made with chicken stock. Her response was that she wasn’t certain but assumed not because it was an item from the vegetarian section of the menu and that she would find out. She returned with the sad news that the sauce was indeed made with a chicken base.
My intent is not to fault the waitress but to point out that she would agree items listed on the vegetarian section of the menu should not contain animal products.
It is nice to have vegetarian options listed on a menu but more than disappointing to find out they are falsely represented.

It all started with the free chips and salsa. They are both plenty tasty. Then I ordered a large beer which came in a nicely frosted mug. Delicious. Then the Lunch Chimichanga was delivered quickly, and it tasted quite good. I frequent a Mexican restaurant in Columbus on workdays, and I have to say Fiesta Grande just tastes better overall. Not to mention the prices are lower.

This is our favorite Mexican food restaurant in Marysville. My husband and I have been here 4 or 5 times in the past few months. The food is great and there is a large assortment of items to choose from. The food is not expensive. We usually spend about $ 10-​$ 12 per person plus drinks. Being from Arizona, this is the closest we have tasted to authentic Mexican food in this area.
The service has always been good. My only complaint is that the restaurant smells a little… musty? It is hard to explain. It kind of smells like a basement or an attic but it isn’t that bad (it isn’t bad enough for them not to get a 5-​star rating from me).

This is our 7^th time at Fiesta Grande. We seem to be coming here more often. The food is excellent, fast and reasonably priced. Service is top notch and I don’t think that I have seen an employee without a smile. Angel was our server for the 2^nd time and once again he was superb. They all seem to love their jobs and it shows. I have had the shrimp, chicken and steak fajitas — all good and healthy portions for $ 13. Beef soft tacos are excellent and inexpensive. We always have plenty for leftovers too. The chicken burrito was the best that i’ve ever had. This time we ordered the fried ice cream, which everyone fought over because it was so wonderful. Next time we’ll have a pitcher of margaritas too. This has become our favorite restaurant in Marysville.

My first visit since the move, and it was fine. Nothing special, but pretty good typical Ohio Tex-​Mex.
The service was very good. The décor is okay, kinda kitschy Mexican restaurant stuff. The noise was– wow, very loud for not being packed. Music blaring, kitchen noise, conversation echoing off the walls. Not excruciating enough to make me leave, but not pleasant.
The food made up for that. I had the Guadalajara combo– chicken tamale, chicken and beef taquitos, and 4 nacho chips piled with meat, rice, beans, etc. A ton of food, all of it pretty tasty, particularly the taquitos.
Prices are reasonable for what you get. I’m rarely in the heart of Marysville and it’s not good enough to go out of my way for, but worth it if you’re passing by.

This was our first time to Fiesta Grande, walking in the door you are greeted with décor that you would expect for a stereotypical Mexican restaurant. Sitting down the menu was a little overbearing and had too many options in my opinion. It took a while to figure out what we wanted.
I ended up getting the «Chicken Chicana» and my wife had the «Burritos Supreme». The food came out quickly and this is where our visit took a turn, for the better.
I have to say this is the most authentic Mexican food I have had outside of an actual Mexican home. My wife said it was very close to what she had in Warez Mexico.
The service was amazing. Every staff member there was smiling and pleasant. It made for a very enjoyable experience.
If you are looking for authentic Mexican in Marysville Ohio, heck even the greater Columbus area, this is the place to go.
The only reason they did not get 5 stars is there was a slight musty smell by the hostess area, though I think that comes from being in an old building. Once you get 20 feet or so in the smell is gone.

The best option for Mexican food in Marysville. Great food, prices, & service. The ambiance is a little different than their previous location, but that’s nothing major. It’s great to have this place back after a year & a half hiatus due to the previous location being damaged by a storm.

Sometimes being too good makes it so that you become your own hard act to follow.
My wife LOVED Fiesta Grande when it was at the original location on 5^th st. The year and half that they did not operate were almost painful. So for them to finally reopen at 109 N Main St, it was a day we were so looking forward to.
But… sadly there is a but here. It pains me to say it, but our enjoyment of what is supposed to be the re-​incarnation of our former beloved restaurant has not repeated the experience we so once loved.
First, we don’t consider ourselves drinkers, but we do enjoy a margarita and/​or piña colada when dinning at a good Mexican place. Both of our drinks tasted odd. Not being drinkers, neither of us know what was wrong or missing, but we knew they didn’t taste right.
Second, the ambiance of the place just felt downright weird. If they paid for an interior designer, they should request a refund. I am far from being known for decorating style… but when I said to my wife «it feels weird in here» she immediately exclaimed «EXACTLY». Maybe it was too much light (there were a ridiculous amount of lights on). Or maybe it was the colorful seats that brought over from the old place seemed to have nothing to do with the décor of the walls, ceiling or floor. I don’t know. I can’t fix it. I just know it was weird enough to be uncomfortable.
As for the food, the quality is what I remember. Tasty bites from everything on my plate. At least they got something right from the move.
The food alone earns 3 stars, but the drinks and the ambiance are why I can’t rate it any higher, which pains me given they were easily 5 stars prior to the move.
Fix the bar and fix the ambiance, or we will be nothing more than carry out patrons.
