In my little town of Charleroi, PA there sits an old Pizza Hut building. Thankfully it was bought by something other than a group of doctors. Its actually owned by a Mexican family and they serve up some really great authentic Mexican food.
Note that I said "authentic". So if you are hoping to get anything that resembles the menu at Chi-chi's, think again. What you are going to get is some fantastic dishes that really make you wonder why you loved Chi-chi's in the first place.
This past visit I decided to be daring and have the vegetable burrito. I thought that possibility meant your basic bean burrito, but no, this bad boy was filled with broccoli and carrots and peppers and onions and oh was it so good.
The refried beans are wonderfully creamy and topped with that special cheese that you seem to only be able to get at Mexican restaurants.
One of the best things about the restaurant is its salsa. Its just hot enough to wake up your mouth, but not too hot and their chips definitely don't come out of a bag.
As a Mon Valley resident, I've been to La Fiesta many times and I can tell you that you won't lack for choices on the menu. There are several combo meals for dinner all priced reasonably and some great chef's specialties, my favorite being chiliquas mexicanos (sp)
Its definitely a place you want to check out if you are driving through Charleroi.
