Authentic Mexican cuisine can be hard to come by in the heart of downtown San Diego, but La Fiesta, located in the stylish Gaslamp Quarter, fixes that problem. Featuring dishes influenced by South American and Spanish cuisine, La Fiesta offers a wide range of mouth-watering (and healthy) selections, such as a fresh salmon filet grilled with bell peppers and lime butter.
Happy hour is daily from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, and what a happy hour it is with $4 mojitos and $3 margaritas! Select food is also available for half-price, like the mini-nachos or shrimp diabla. Boasting a full bar with 65 different types of tequila, La Fiesta is known for their margaritas. Try any of these delicious drinks, especially the Melonita Margarita, either “grande” or “gigante” sized!
If you’re in the food for a Mexican meal, this is the right place. Tempting entrees and tantalizing drinks are sure to keep you in high spirits.

La Fiesta had a great happy hour.
If I could, I would give it a 3.5 Stars. The food is good, so Ill bump it up to 4.
Happy Hour is a heck of a deal from 3-6. The margaritas are strong, the chips and salsa are good, and the happy hour menu is pretty darn good. I went with the 2 carne asada tacos, rolled tacos, and mini nachos. EXCELLENT plate. The place was packed at 4 in the afternoon and understandably so... Good place to eat at happy hour prices.
