Taco Fiesta

Suite J at 1989 Santa Rita Rd is the Pleasanton address on record for Taco Fiesta, a Mexican eatery in Alameda County whose owner is listed as Efraen Fonseca, with 1996 given as the year it opened. Several public listings for the same address and phone use the reversed name Fiesta Taco, so a search under either name should lead to the same counter. This listing was compiled from public business records and is awaiting the owner's confirmation.

What a taqueria usually serves

A taqueria in Pleasanton usually builds its menu around tacos on corn tortillas, flour-wrapped burritos and quesadillas, filled with carne asada, al pastor, carnitas, chicken or grilled vegetables. Plates of enchiladas or fajitas with rice and beans are typical too, and many places start the day with breakfast burritos. Ordering tends to happen at a counter, with salsas set out for diners to add their own heat.

Restaurants of this kind generally take phone orders for pickup and show up on delivery apps, and some will prepare trays of tacos or a taco bar for office lunches and family gatherings.

Ordering tips

Calling in a pickup order before noon saves standing in line at the busiest hour. If you avoid meat, dairy or gluten, ask which fillings are vegetarian, whether the beans are cooked with lard, and whether the corn tortillas contain any wheat. Feeding a group? Ask how much notice the kitchen needs for a large order, whether items can be packed separately, and whether chips, salsas and utensils come with it. Opening hours at small restaurants shift with the season, so check before making a special trip, and ask where to park if you are arriving at a busy time.
