Fiesta Mall

Family and I came here tonight, we went to go eat at Charley’s grilled subs. This mall is literally getting abandoned by stores that were here, was here 5 months ago shopping at Hollister for my kid… GONE! Just an empty space, just sad!

Went to the mall today. Figure I go have s look around being I just moved out here a month ago. didn’t know what to except but what I saw that wasnt it. Most of the stores r closed down there wasn’t nothing really there. I will never go out there again unless its necessary.

The only thing here is air. Air you may ask? Air because there isn’t squat here so what does mean? It’s dead plenty of fresh air.

I go here strictly for Dillard’s Outlet. The mall is very dated and could use a face lift and more anchor stores to attract a decent crowd. Wal-​Mart is currently renovating a wing of this mall, so now you know what type of clientele will frequent this establishment. There was a Macy’s at this location, but it closed in 2015.
When I’m feeling bodacious, I venture outside of Dillard’s. People that have no intentions of buying anything lingers about. I have a problem with being greeted with «Yo baby-​baby yo!» Or being followed by the aggressive sales people at the kiosks. Rude!
So I’ll stay within my comfort zone… Dillard’s and only Dillard’s.

BEWARE. Stay far away from this mall as you can. There is literally nothing here. Waste of time and space. Why is it still even open? I’ve seen homeless people hanging out in the parking lots asking for money, and you see the sketchiest things in every corner. Don’t walk here anywhere alone…
I remember growing up this was the mall to be at! Blue neon lights adorned the overcrowded food court and people everywhere! It’s so sad and terrible to see what’s left of this mall. They need to just tear it down ASAP.
Oh and please hold on to your purse as hard as you can if you do tend to visit this place…

Crappy ass mall looks like it ghetto inside not many stores are left it like a ghost town inside it

wow this place is done for. I have no idea how any store is still open in this place. I would say 70% of the mall is empty. The one store I went to was express but it was so hot in there I couldnt even shop. They need to figure something out with this place because its done for unless they totally try something different.

I used to love Fiesta Mall. It has changed so much I don’t know if it will be around much longer. There are still some good things about it.
*It’s a smaller mall making it easy and quicker to get to the store you want.
*Covered parking
*Stores I like are: Dillard’s, Dick’s, Best Buy, Torrid
*A couple descent places to eat in the food court
* Aunty Annie’s Pretzels. Nom nom
* Close by are: Longhorn Steak House, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, In and Out Burgers.
What i don’t like:
There a lot of new Indian and Mexican stores. Some of the stuff is good while others are junk. Like the $ 1 jewelry store. Junk. I don’t like most of these stores.
In order for this mall to remain open they had to bring in these smaller stores but it brings down the quality.
They sometimes have Performances on stage. Every time I’ve been it’s been Mexican style. It would be nice if they mixed it up a bit.
Tempe Market place is a success BC they bring in good artist, have good places for happy hour, inviting environment, a nice variety of stores. Fiesta Mall doesn’t have any of that.
I wish then all the best. It will be a sad day when FM closes.

When we moved to the East Valley in the late 80s, Fiesta Mall was «the cool place» to hang out. Today is the 1^st day my wife & I are back in a very long time. We don’t even remember the last time we were here last. Fiesta Mall today is a shell of its former self. Many stores are empty. Other shopping malls, such as Chandler Fashion & Tempe Market Place (just to name 2) divert customers away. Also the lack of a major employer (Motorola nearby shut down over 10 years ago) is a major challenge to the recovery of this surrounding area. This fact bounds to affect Fiesta Mall too.
I wish Fiesta Mall, its tenants & its owners well and that their efforts in reviving this place bear fruits soon.

Before Forever 21, Wet Seal, and stores like Deb packed up and left I was a big fan of this mall. You could find what you needed quickly, and cheaply. I wish I could say better things about this mall, but there’s nothing left in it! Last time I was there, I only stayed for 30 minutes and did not find a single thing I was looking for. I was very disappointed. It sucks for the mom and pop shops in there that the development is now failing, but it’s just not worth my time to go anymore. Also, I’m too afraid to park my car in the parking lot here. Apparently this mall is the place to break into cars. Lol

This mall has really went down hill. 12 stores have shut down in the past year. There isnt much here then a few of the same stores, a few department stores and a pretty good food court. Ehh, won’t be back.

Use to be one of my favorite places to shop and eat in Mesa but is now very run down and almost empty no good stores to shop in anymore come on Mesa we need a bounce back fir the community.

In the ghetto. This place used to be happenin’ when I was younger. It’s now turned into an outlet mall with not much to see. It’s a great place for punk teenagers to go and loiter but that’s it. Sad this mall has gone down hill.

Well, it has just gotten worse. Wet Seal and The Children’s place have closed down as well. Although I did see Wet Seal close at AZ Mills as well so I don’t know if that’s related to the business or not.
A lot of other stores have closed since my last review but a lot of them I can’t remember what they were; but I will tell you it was a good handful. It is kind of sad to walk through this mall.

You know it’s bad when the mall’s owners let the bank take it over. Losing Macy’s was a massive blow (and they owned that Robinsons-​May building too, so no rent). They’ve been struggling for a very long time now, but the surrounding area just isn’t rebounding enough to support a regional mall.
I remember when they lured Best Buy from across the street (Borders was supposed to have the other floor, good thing they got Dicks instead) and several chain stores (Express, New York and Co) used the low rent to expand and remodel while the mall did a refresh (yanked out second floor carpet for tile). So many storefronts are closed now. It’s really sad to remember how crazy busy this place used to be during the holidays!
There will never again be the plant-​lined courts where Sam Goody and Music Land were built on top each other next to the well-​stocked everyone-​shops-​here Sears, no overpriced but unique Suncoast across the ways, and no surprisingly good buffet at King’s Table. Wizards of the Coast, the music box and beanie baby shop, cookies and corn dogs and mozzarella sticks from the neon-​lit Food Court… at least we have the memories.
Don’t be surprised if you are asked for money by people in the parking lot or they try to sell you something. AVOID the ridiculously rude survey people in front of Dillard’s, if they’re still there.

This mall is so sad. I lived near it for 4 years, and would come here on occasion for random things that I needed. They had more of a selection when I first started coming here, but it was still kind of a dump even then.
Over the years, more and more stores have shuddered over time. I mean, it’s not like there was a lot in here. Now, even the Macy’s is gone, which is kind of sad, because I would go in there from time to time to check out their sales.
I really don’t know how this place stays open. Honesty, I think this place is 10 times worse then Metro center, because it’s just so vacant. The outside stores that circle the mall are okay such as Best Buy and Dicks, and they at least still have the Sears and the Dillard’s which has turned into a clearance center.
I don’t feel scared coming here, but I have seen some shady characters here over the years. I stopped in here yesterday to see if it’s still the same, and sadly, it is. Not a whole lot going on.
There are plenty of better places to shop, and aside from a few occasional trips to Dillard’s, I don’t know that I would even bother going here if I were you. I think if they put some effort into it, the mall could have a few decent stores to draw people in, but overall it continues to get worse. My theory? Either kick it into high gear and try to turn this place around, or shut it down already and do the city a favor.

Poor poor Fiesta Mall. So sad to watch it die a very very very slow drawn out death. It all started back when Chandler Mall opened up. Fiesta was never able to compete. Since then it just keeps getting worse. Now about only half the stores are open. Macy’s is gone. Forever 21 is gone. American Eagle is gone. The Body Shop is gone. Victoria’s Secret is gone. Cinnabon is gone. Cinnabon! Why??! Seems like once a store’s lease is up they get out and that’s sad. With MCC so close to the Fiesta you would think that with proper management this mall could be saved or re-​imagined or something. Look at In and Out and Dutch Bros and how busy those places are all the time. The lines are always so long! Obviously, there is business around the area but the stores are not. Still I hope for nice things to happen. I wish you good luck, Fiesta! Just hold on to Best Buy for as long as you can because it is about all you have left.

This mall is ghetto and so are the employees.
I was in the neighborhood and need to kill some time, so I took my kid to the playground (which is very worn out). Decided to walk around and see what shops are still open, when I almost slipped on some water, I was able to gain my balance by grabbing the wall. I saw a maintenance lady nearby and informed that the floor is wet. She went to inspect it and said in Spanish its nothing, not a big deal, its almost dry. She pissed me off, obviously there was enough water for me to slip, you could even see the skid mark my shoe left in the water. And I replied to her back in Spanish «I was just letting you know so someone else doesn’t come and slip and sue this mall.»
I remember as a teen this was the mall to go to. Now its just sad to see what it has become. NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS GHETTO MALL

The Short:
The mall equivalent of an old dude wearing a toupee and driving a bright red sports car.
The Pros:
— Great food court restaurants.
— Easy to navigate.
— Tons of sales.
— Covered parking.
— Great hangout spot for angsty teenagers.
The Cons:
— Sales can often be attributed to store closings.
— One-​third of the mall is empty.
— Not the best cross-​section of mall shops.
— Oh no, youth abound!
Interest Fact:
When the flagship stores leave, it’s often a sign that the mall is doomed. This one, unfortunately, has been diagnosed with a year or two left to live.

I hadn’t been here in several years, so I was pleasantly surprised when I drove by and on a whim decided to stop in and check it out.
Five or six years, when I worked across the freeway from here, I’d have thought that Fiesta Mall would be deserted by now. In fact, it looked like it was becoming the East Valley’s version of MetroCenter.
That’s why I was happy to see that Fiesta Mall has done a good job in recovering over the past few years. Dick’s Sporting Goods and Best Buy are great additions and the conversion of Dillard’s to a Dilard’s Outlet is a great move and it seems like this outlet had a better selection than the one at MetroCenter.
Maybe Fiesta Mall has a future after all!
