This was our first visit, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We started with the table side fresh made guacamole (recommended by our host Alex). He was Exceptionally helpful, and he consistently ensured we had everything needed to enjoy our meal. I will definitely visit Fiesta Azul in Altamonte Springs.

Such a delicious dinner, again. Had the lamb birria and enchiladas verdes, queso fundido with corn, a Guera cake and chocolate tart. My take home bag over-floweth! A beautiful night so we sat outside, were it’s a bit quieter. Inside has a lively atmosphere which does test my hearing. Highly recommend if you like Mexican food with flair.

This place has all the Winter Park charm. Beautiful dining area, partly open to the air. Beautiful bar and very nice people. The tableside guacamole was amazing. As was the ceviche and enchiladas. Definitely a place to try if you’ve not been here before

The food here is beyond amazing! The brunch options were awesome. I can't even pick a favorite dish because everything tasted so good. The taco bar a hit and the ala carte items were on point. More importantly the SERVICE was spectacular! It is so hard to get good service let alone great service. This is the second time coming here with two different servers and both were top notch.
