Eating tasty food is one of life’s simplest and most enjoyable pleasures, and if you’re looking to dine on flavorful Mexican fare in Universal City, La Fiesta Patio Cafe is the perfect spot. This favorite for Tex-Mex serves a large menu of chicken enchiladas, tortilla soup, and unique puffy tacos that you won’t find at many similar eateries, plus all of the chips and salsa that you can eat before the meal.

Relax after a long day at work with happy hour tacos and cervezas at La Fiesta Patio Cafe. The regular crispy tacos and soft tacos are both good, but this Universal City restaurant’s unique "puffy" tacos are even better. Regulars say you should definitely try this house specialty, which lands somewhere between crispy and soft tacos and uses masa to create a slightly crispy, bread-like wrap that is quickly deep fried into the shape of a taco shell.

If something lighter is more your style, try the grilled tilapia topped with salsa roja or the grilled chicken breast with queso and tortilla strips. For the value-minded, the restaurant's combination plates offer the best deal, as they generally include four entree items (like two tacos, a burrito, and an enchilada, for example) along with a side of rice and beans.
