“ Been going here for 20 years and still see some familiar faces each time I go. Never disappoints. Consistently great food and service. ”
“ The restaurant it self is great, loved the food. Service great. Outdoor seating was nice. Has an open kitchen inside and upstairs seating. Downside gang names all over the bathroom and sign on front door no cash. We had dinner at sunset at the outside tables. No concerns, but also made sure my purse was in my lap and not exposed out of an abundance of caution. ”
“ The food was very tasty and they have Mexican and Cuban dishes. The servers were very friendly and checking on us all the time. I will definitely go back. ”
“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La Fonda is fantastic! The grilled steak was cooked perfectly…juicy, tender, and full of flavor, paired with seasoned yellow rice, hearty black beans, and a tasty salsa. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. I also loved the chips and salsa to start, which were crisp and delicious. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone craving flavorful, authentic food! ”
“ If you are looking for Latin food, a relaxing atmosphere, and a good view, go check out them out. The location is good. I like that it's near other restaurants and in a semi busy area. I like the variety of seating, from inside to outside the patio on the bottom and second floor. You can watch the sunset on the second floor. The staff was friendly and fast. As soon as you sat down, the servers were there. The chips, salsa, horchata, and queso were good. However, I have to say the seafood paella was not as impressive. The veggies and rice were overcooked. The seafood was quite small. The flavoring is there, though. ”
