Enjoy Fiesta Mexicana on budget

Story by Marshanna Hester (Contact)

5:44 p.m. Wednesday, July 16, 2008

If you’ve got only $10 to spend at the Fiesta Mexicana, that $10 will go farther than you may think.

It costs $1 to use the parking shuttle at 8th and Madison and that $1 will get you to the Fiesta and back to your car.

Now, for the food. First you have to go through the line and get a food ticket. There you can get authentic Hispanic foods like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tostadas and tamales.

After you’ve got your food ticket, you then have to take that ticket to the food window and pick up your order.

Once you’ve done that, you can take your food to one of the tables under the tent and eat.

Tacos: $1.50

Burritos: $2.00

Enchiladas: $2.00

Tostadas: $2.00

Tamales: $2.50

Soda & Water: $1.50
