IS Project 1

Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to any larger event, and must settle for a review of an experience of a Mexican Restaurant in the Raleigh area. I will discuss Fiesta Mexicana, a Mexican restaurant here in NC, with six different branches in and around the Triangle. The location I visited was near the intersection of Tryon and Jones Franklin road, considered their Cary branch. The first things noticed when walking through the door are the traditional Norteño music and the huge mural depicting a small town in what appears to be north-western Mexico. They sell imported Mexican drinks such as Jarritos and glass liters of Coca-cola, made with real sugar, right by the entrance. Art displayed on the walls ranges from a huge painting of Loony Tunes' Speedy Gonzales to seemingly traditional Aztec carvings. I ordered two steak quesadillas, which were grilled and covered in Oaxaca cheese. They were great, a bit salty and tough. All and all, the restaurant was great and looking at it from an IS perspective was especially interesting, seeing the regional differences of Mexico blended together as one recognizable and distinct Mexico.
