la fonda mexican restaurant and cantina

great!. i absolutely love this place. my coworkers and i go there to lunch sometimes. excellent authenticmexicanfood.

i can't believe this place had received any positive reviews! i'm visiting from ny- which is not known for itsmexicanfood. however, even compared to some of nyc's averagemexicanfood offerings, this place did not come close! they served a pre- made taco reheated in aluminum foil. their tamale just tastes like sweet corn bread- but not even good corn bread. the fajita salad was basically a large bowl of shredded ice berg lettuce , that had that day old packaged lettuce taste. while i was not expecting to be blown away by the food here or for it to be authenticmexicanfood- i was expecting at least average american style mex food and it didn't even come close to meeting those low expectations.

dependable. we've been eating at la fonda since i was about 7 years old, and believe me, that was a long time ago!

their food has always been pretty good, their chips freshly made and served hot most of the time and their servers frenquently have the kind of attitude of "yeah honey what'll have?".

i am very pleased they are still in business after all of these years, and even expanding to new locations. but don't look to la fonda if you're searching from truemexicanfood. they are very good "americanized"mexicancuisine, but nothing the will surprise you very much.

don't get me wrong, i love this place, but let's be honest, it's very generic although it is done quite well. all of their options are tasty and plentiful. (the nochos grande are enough for 4 people easily.)

you'll like it i promise, they just wont be winning awards for originality any time soon.
