Fiesta Mart

There’s a gentlemen pushing cars, his name is Donato I think. He’s such a great worker. He’s an elderly man. He always has an smile on his face. We go to fiesta because of people like him. Such a great worker.

5 stars you say? For a Fiesta Mart? AM I CRAZY?
Probably.
But besides that point, which I’ll explain for another day…
I have visited pretty much all of the Fiesta Marts along the 75 corridor and some (Plano (Parker Rd), Ricahrdson (Spring Valley Rd), Carrollton (N Josey Ln), Oak Cliff (Jefferson Rd), Lower Greenville (Ross Ave)) and this particular one is my favorite of those listed.
Why? Well, for the several contradictions found in this location:
1) It’s smaller in scale — you can stroll around easily and comfortably. The shelves are not stacked up high, and feels like it’s at a human scale.
2) Despite it being smaller in size, it’s also the BEST ORGANIZED even though the other Fiestas have more square feet of space. It’s also the cleanest and more modern Fiesta I’ve seen locally.
3) And again, despite it being smaller, there’s EVERYTHING here — and I find things here that other Fiestas do not carry. More Indian goods, and DEFINITELY more Caribbean /​South American goods.
For French bread or something similar, I prefer their pan de agua (aka Caribbean bread — actually Puerto Rican), which I much prefer over their pan frances (aka French bread but it’s Mexican style). Tastes better, and more versatile as the result.
For produce, I was surprised that I could even find the Florida /​Caribbean avocados which are conspicuously absent in many other grocery stores, including other Fiestas.
For dry goods, they also have a large selection of Argentine Yerba Mate, and even coffee (much to my delight). And I could also find Venezuelan cheese and cachapa mixes, and SEVERAL corn flour brands specifically for arepas instead of just one. And plenty of Colombian guava pastes. I was even able to find canned Fabada soup, a typical soup from the Asturias region of Spain, which is available in every supermarket in Miami. And there’s also a larger representation of Asian products as well — more Middle Eastern and Indian products than at any of the other Fiestas as well.
I’ll definitely be back to this one frequently.

One of the few Hispanic or international themed stores that are actually clean and comparable to other grocery stores. Price is good, fruits and veggies fresh, even bakery is good, not the typical dirty, rotten fruits, super sweet bakeries that you find in other Hispanic themed stores.

Best kept secrets —
— great veggies/​low prices
— taco meat at the deli
— good seafood selection
–little oddities you might not find elsewhere.

The manager or the Taqueria is from west Tx and she can cook. The seafood is great and fresh from the Gulf coast. Produce is awesome and a very large section for Asian and Caribbean. Now they have fresh Sushi from a real Sushi chef by the entrance for anyone who wants fresh made Sushi. Its ground beef is made onsite and not prepackaged.

Wow, Fiesta is a legit grocery store, comparable to any Kroger. First time stepping inside. I’d always driven by without giving it a second thought, but I’m seriously impressed. A lot of Hispanic foods too, so I’m happy. Prices also seem cheaper than Kroger.

Some of the freshest tropical produce in Dallas. These guys have REALLY good bananas. And how can you pass up their fresh tortillas?

This used to be an old Sack N Save grocery store a couple years ago. Fiesta has taken over the spot and I actually welcome the change. Not that Sack N Save was bad. I had gone there for as long as I remember. Fiesta just has better prices on fruit and vegetables and they always seem to be fresh. I like their seafood counter where I can buy crawfish by the lb for $ 2.29/lb or $ 2.19/lb if I buy it by the bag. I’ve tried buying crawfish at the Asian markets but the ones that Fiesta bring in taste better in my opinion. They also have very good deals on the rest of their seafood. I bought large, head on shrim for $ 2.99/lb just the other day. I’d say they’ve got great prices for seafood, vegetables and fruit. As for dairy, meat and other items, they are pretty on par with Albertson’s. Walmart can be a bit cheaper on some of those items.
During it’s grand opening, Elvis was present and seranaded me with his song and even let me take a picture with him. I saw the Fiesta bird on one occasion. On the weekends they bring out a table to the front of the store and sell elotes en vaso (corn in a cup), tacos, tamales, horchata, etc. I love the hot sauce that they have available. Oh, they also make their own toritillas at the front of the store. I bought a 10-​count package of plain flour tortillas for $ 1.00. I haven’t tried them yet but will be making some breakfast tacos very soon.
