Farmington NM Restaurant
You might be wondering what a “chain” like Fiesta Mexicana is doing in a place like Farmington, N.M. The answer is easy, because we believe the best Mexican food belongs in the best places that truly appreciate real, authentic Mexican food. That makes Farmington, NM an excellent choice for the best Mexican restaurant in the 4 Corners area.
People in Farmington and those who visit tend to be outdoors enthusiasts. It seems everyone who comes to visit is here to enjoy our beautiful out-of-doors, nature involved activities and fine weather. It might surprise you to know we have over 70 parks in our city, and a world ranked golf course. Now, we are not sure about you, but if it were us and it was dry and warm, a cold brew would sound awfully good with some tacos, enchiladas, or a quesadilla after a round of golf with the gentlemen or ladies in your group. Come by and check out our full service bar and the great selection of appetizers we offer. The food is awesome, and our service is fast and friendly. There is something for every member of your golf group including the caddie. After all, the caddie did all the hard work, and it tends to be hot on the course, so invite them along and buy them an ice-cold beer they’ll appreciate.
Located at 5,395 feet, Farmington NM has unique weather for the Southwest. Our altitude keeps our temperatures moderate, rarely below freezing in the winter or above 90 degrees during summer months. We do get a bit of snow in the winter, but it is gone almost immediately. With 279 days of sun a year, you know we don’t get too much rain, but when it does, the skies are more than photo worthy. Our rains start usually in August. When the weather gets a bit cooler, come by for some of our renowned chili verde. After you are seated you get all the chips and homemade salsa you want. If you want warmer spices to get warmed up, just say so. We will bring you spicier until you tell us “no mas!”
What Our Customers Say .
Best Restaurant In Farmington NM
Farmington NM has a lot of unique things around the area, and events it celebrates. High school baseball is one pastime we are very proud to support. The Connie Mack World Series has been played in Farmington since 1965. The best of the best 16-18 year olds worldwide come to square off as enthusiastic crowds and scouts alike watch in awe as the best play America’s pastime. We serve a lot of tacos during that season when fans stop by after games to celebrate with a margarita and appetizers.
Hiking, biking, and fishing are all popular in the Farmington region since we have so many foothills and much rugged terrain. Two popular sports are white water and geocaching. With three rivers in the area, and two converging in town, one is only a paddle length away from a spot to launch. Geocaching or a GPS treasure hunt for clues has become enormously popular with families. Cachers of all ages can participate, use logic and smarts to figure out locations, and go on to the next hidden clue or treasure. Information about all the local activities can be found at our local Chamber of Commerce. Come to Fiesta Mexicana to share your finds, and we will help you celebrate.
Another big thing in our area is rock crawling. A big sport in the Four Corners region, rock crawling involves modified vehicles (mostly trucks) that try to traverse terrain the Mars Rover could not handle. Hot Rod car shows are another big hit, and rumor has it some pretty big celebrities and bands have been known to come out for our Hot Rod show. What better way to take a break from the festivities than stop by for lunch? We have lunch specials nearly every day, and late lunch runs into Happy Hour, which goes 2-6. That gives you an hour to eat a leisurely late lunch and get refreshed with an icy cold cerveza before you head back out into the fun New Mexico sun.
Of all the things to do, we are probably most proud of the Totah Festival. This long running pow-wow and First Nations annual gathering features dance, song, vendors, and all things traditional to the 4 Corners region. Among the highlights is one of the only annual Navajo rug auctions in the Southwest. Since much of our Mexican heritage touches native peoples, we are especially happy to share specials with our visiting guests that weekend. Check Facebook for current offerings, or call us. We will be happy to tell you what we have planned
