During my stay in Kingston, I came to Castle Street for breakfast four times. It contains a clutch of small cafes which offer standard cafe food at very low prices. Unfortunately, I wasn't over-impressed by any of them. You'd think the competition would make them up their game, but instead maybe they'e competed downwards in price, which seems to have resulted in unispired food, premises, and staff. Of the four similar cafes--La Cigale, Don Corleone, Moulin Rouge, and La Fiesta--I found La Fiesta to be the best, which not saying much. I had the same breakfast in each cafe, an omelette, because I run on a fix of eggs every day. The standard of communication in La Fiesta was the same as in the other three cafes: none. A man took my order and returned with the omelette without saying a word. However, the omelette was OK, if nothing special, and better than in the other cafes because it wasn't greasy. This cafe also had a woman staff member, unlike the others, which made a change from the hard-male-stare serving style in Castle Street cafes. To be fair, this cafe also had the best decor--with some art prints and plastic foliage. But, as at Cafe La Cigale, was blighted by a constant loud noise from a machine, which was only partly drowned by some unbearable pop music. (I think staff get so used to such things that they stop noticing it.)

Simple but great value, good selection of food and a buzz. Good coffee and very welcoming staff. Summer has space outside to watch the Kingston world go by.

I've been coming to la fiesta ever since my education days (back in 2008). Been one of my favourite ever since. the wraps are amazing. I always get a tuna sweetcorn salad wrap but most of the others are great.

LIttle hidden gem. Great independent cafe. We had full English breakfasts and both cooked perfectly. But beware the breakfasts come out scordingly hot. Great coffee and tea. All in all fantastic value for the price,£ 12.50 for for everything... Will return in the near future.

They use cheap ingredients which means low quality food. Example, the ketchup and mayonnaise they use is from a cheap supermarket, which tastes nasty! . I noticed a lot of half eaten plates of meals left by customers, which were quickly taken away by the waitresses , obviously not a good sign for passing trade . I had chicken katsu and my partner had lamb shish, both meals were poor standard. The meat from the shish kebab looked liked It came from a dog's rear end!!!Would not recommend having anything here!!!

What a brilliant little cafe. We were staying in the Travel Lodge round the corner and usually go to Weatherspoons for breakfast but after a medioaka breakfast the day before we decided to look elsewhere. We came across the cafe by chance on a walkabout. We had two huge breakfasts with coffee for the same money. My hubby had the large breakfast that comes with 2 of everything. Unlike Weatherspoons you get mushrooms and a bit unusual chips as well. I had the La Fiesta breakfast again with everything including mushrooms and chips. I have to say the fried eggs were amazing, no crusty bottom and a runny yolk. Looking through the menu the prices of the other other items on the menu were excellent and we will certainly be going there again when we go back to Kingston to visit family. Do give this cafe a go I don't think you will be disappointed especially for the breakfast.

I always come here with friends and family my sister showed me this place and I didn’t think much at first because of how it looks! but it’s cheap cheerful and the staff are lovely and welcoming. You get the best wraps and panini’s here for a good price. Would recommend against all the other popular chains such as costa or Starbucks.

Went to restaurant wanted a couple of drinks and only cheese omelette rather than omelette meal. Waited over 20 mins whilst other customers who entered after us were served. When paid bill charged for full omelette meal and they were not prepared to refund any consideration. They were oblivious to any customer care so will never go there again. If you consider this acceptable go there otherwise ignore. Many other reputable restaurants in same street. BE WARNED

This place has been around in Kingston for a long time, I first went here in 2004. They make very nice wraps (amongst many other things) and are great value.The same folks have been running it the entire time and are friendly. The restaurant is cosy.I think they only accept cash still which is odd these days, as I never carry cash, so have to remember to get money beforehand.

Well cooked, two eggs, two sausages, two rashers, beans, toast & chips. Only £4.50 in a nice, clean cafe in the centre of Kingston. Comfortable and far better value than any of the street food stalls in Kingston Market.Hard to fault it. I would eat here again.

La fiesta. Wow selection of food snacks sweets and there is a whole lot of breakfast for your money. What can I say breakfast lunch or a snack not a problem. Coffee or tea no problem. Milkshake or soft drinks too. The curry's or fry ups are great the wraps I've tried I could wite and essay to say how good this is but if your in Kingston I would definitely pop in for that bite to eat. A curry what a great deal I'm 6ft 3 and not skinny by any means and it filled me up for the day.

This place reserves a special, nostalgic place in my heart. Not because it's something grandeur or 5 star posh or over the top but as in my opinion - it simply makes the best panini and wraps I've tried so far!A must-go-to for all panini lovers; this place serves delicious paninis. There are many varieties of chickens to choose from amongst other meats and fillings. My personal favourite is the Italian Chicken with salad. The English breakfast is also filling with generous portions and there is a surprisingly wide variety menu for a panini cafe serving Chinese, Indian and the like.I think the paninis here are particularly nice mainly due to their panini bread and the way they toast it which provides a nice crispy textured taste~Service is friendly too. Downside is they don't accept cards. Ultimately, if you're in the mood for some great panini - just go!

Been coming to la fiesta for years. Delicious and filling wraps & paninis. Family run business who are extremely friendly. The only downer I would say is that there’s the 3 people usual people working here for the last 8years or so - extremely friendly but can get swamped during busy period!

Cuatro de nosotros estábamos realmente hambriento y sólo quería un desayuno enorme. Fue la hora de comer pero no había comido esa mañana y acabo de ver una foto de un desayuno inglés completo en la ventana. Tuvimos un desayuno inglés completo, tortillas y desayunos vegetarianos y fue genial! Nos dieron tanta comida que no podía en realidad comer todo mío pero quería realmente. Era todo lo que te puedas imaginar un desayuno inglés completo incluido y con un té o café, todo por £4. 50! ! ! Era genial! La comida era muy buena y creo que la factura era de £21 para los cuatro de nosotros y todas las bebidas. Yo tenía una piña batido realmente agradable. Los camareros y camareras eran realmente encantador y acogedor y hicieron que nuestra comida muy placentera y agradable. Sin duda volveré y lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Abbiamo provato tutti i locali che si trovano in questa stradina pedonale nel vano tentativo di bere un buon cappuccino per colazione. Il cappuccino non era buono, ma niente di nuovo . E' così quasi ovunque. Buoni invece i due pezzi dolci che abbiamo preso. C'era una discreta scelta non solo tra i dolci, ma anche, se l'avessimo volute, tra le cose salate. Personale gentile, anche se un po affannato nel servizio, visto il numero elevato di clienti. Tutti questi locali in zona credo che andrebbero meglio per il pranzo. Anche qui abbiamo letto il menù e sembrava invitante e non caro. Proveremo

I love this restaurant for the food, but the staff takes ages to serve you I was fine with this, but on Sunday I arrived hungry. I was in a group of 4 people with one arriving later. One ordered a full breakfast, the other 2 ordered a chicken wrap dish. I ordered a croque monsieur.My friends had eaten their food by the time mine arrived. I had asked them 4 times where my food was and they said it was coming. I understand that the restaurant was really busy, but it is really unprofessional to not serve all the food at the same time.

A Bit disappointed with this restaurant. The prices were reasonable and what i ate a chicken wrap was tasty, But my experience was spoilt by the service. The girls were really friendly they seemed to serve only drinks. We had a male waiter to serve the food and he was so under pressure, serving, taking the money as well that he was abrupt in manner. It was chaotic and they need more staff definitely. Not sure if I would try again.

Stopped here for lunch. In a pedestrianised area well populated with restaurants, it was maybe not the best choice. Menus were obviously old and battered. The food was pretty good, (we had baguettes) but we had to go in to the indoor counter to order it as the waitress disappeared to work there as we took more than a few nanoseconds to decide what we wanted.Tea was a tea bag in a none to clean mug of hot water, and delivered so long before the food that it would have been stone cold by the time the food arrived. When other diners left , the plates were not collected very quickly and the whole outside eating area became overrun with pigeons - not very hygienic, and distracting trying to eat with screaming fellow diners around us (obviously not pigeon-lovers) . Toilets fairly clean, but not in good conditions and lots of evidence of black mould on the walls. Needs some TLC !
