Celebrating 25 Years of Fiesta – Since 2001

Fiesta was founded in 2001 when Isidro Ortiz, an immigrant from Michoacán, Mexico, decided to bring his mother Teresa’s culinary gift to life. What started as a small family-run restaurant—where 80% of the staff were relatives—has grown into a beloved part of the Tri-Cities community.

As we approach our 25th anniversary in 2026, our mission remains the same: to serve authentic, flavorful Mexican food made with the freshest ingredients and warm hospitality. From handmade tortillas and sizzling fajitas to classic Menudo, burritos, burgers, and our award-winning salsa bar, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

I was just 11 years old when I dreamed of opening a restaurant, says Isidro. Today, that dream is a reality thanks to the love, support, and hard work of my family—especially my mom, Teresa. She's the heart of Fiesta, and always will be.

We’re not your average Mexican restaurant. We are Fiesta. We are Extraordinary.
