Stay Away!!!! – The service was slow, The food very bad and bland, the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten except for the chipotle Brownie everything else was very bad. The Mariachi did not sing any traditional songs and severely over priced for the quality of the food. I am never ever going back again. EVER!!

Poor Service – This restaurant does not deserve any ratings at all. I've been ther a couple times. This last time I was there for a very special & exclusive event & I had the most disappointing experience.... I was actually part & invited by the production of an event held at the restaurant. I have no complaints about the place itself except the unisex restroom located on the bottom floor which is very inconvenient & having to travel to the second floor if the RR on the first floor is busy. Service: Very poor service to gues... read more

New Owners / Bad Service / Not the same Mariachi. – We had not visited La Fonda since last year and we were surprised to see that the Original Mariachi was not there anymore. That the last Mariachi event was at 8:00 PM. We were there for fathers day and got bad service, over priced food. After our food got to our table late and never even got water. After the show finished at 9:00 PM and our food got there almost 45 minutes after the fact...we decided to stay for the 10:00 PM show. To our amaze they started to taking the tab... read more

Wonderful mariachi music and fun – We found parking on Wilshire blvd which was super convenient. We hadn;t been there for years and this is not the dingy old La Fonda. The group was talented and fun and visited our table for a happy birthday. I ate the lamb which was amazing and sampled chicken in a tasty mustard sauce. My friends went up on stage at the end to dance a "mariachi loco."

Not coming back – La Fonda recently reopened and it is not owned by the same people as before. And it is not the same mariachi group, Los Camperos. My family and I recently returned and found the food to be awful. It's mostly a place for tourists or white people that don't know any better. My group and I asked for tortillas and they said they didn't have any. It's a mexican restaurant how could you not have tortillas! I waited 20 mins for water. However, the mariachis weren't bad but in l.a. there are far better places.

Good Music, Bad Service, Average Food – This place is overrated. The food is overpriced and mundane. Ceviche was average , the soup was gross. The mariachi which plays there is entertaining but does not compensate for poor service and bad food. I had to request multiple times that my drink be refilled as did the rest of my party.

Great food, great music and great dancing! – Honestly, if you want authentic Mexican food and great entertainment, La Fonda is the place to be! Was a little apprehensive taking my aunt there for her birthday celebration (because of the below low recommendation....btw "priced" not "prized") but from the moment we walked in the doors we were quite pleased by not only our hostess (prompt and courteous) but our service. When we sat down our waiter saw to us immediately, taking our drink orders (get the margaritas!) and then givi... read more
