Crappy Food, Great Entertainment. – After reading decent reviews about this place my family and I visited the restaurant in early October to celebrate my brother-in-laws birthday. I made reservations for eight and when we arrived to the restaurant we were seated promptly, which was nice. The service was decent, but the food was horrible. For one the menu is small and over prized. I don't mind the menu being small as long as the food is good, and if the food is good I don't mind it being over prized. The problem is that the f... read more

Best Dinner and Show entertainment – This is really a historic place, hadn't been there since they closed, went this past weekend and it was incredible. The place looks amazing with all the new updates made to it. They still have some of the great servers from before. They are also having on display some beautifull art paintings, in fact it is a working art gallery within La Fonda. The food has been revitalized with great dishes. The food is a totalk experience in itself. The Mariachi is familiar as well, they are the previo... read more

Mariachis and good margaritas! – I visited this establishment on a Wednesday and they claim to have the best Mariachis. I am not an expert but they seemed to perfom well. The margaritas were good (its hard to mess it up though). I had the Boracha shrimp dish was satisfactory but really wasn't worth it. I had the appetizers plate that was good, but hardly worth $30 for a few quesadillas, guacamole, taquitos (small), and ceviche (I have had better). Oh and there was this mystery dip that had cheese and was solid in the middle.... read more

Business response:

Thank you for the feedback on your experience at La Fonda, we look forward to our guests comments to help us improve. We are also very glad you enjoyed the entertainment, I must say , I am a big fan of Mariachi Monumental de America myself, they really try hard to interact with the crowd and make everyone feel part of the show.. Our menu will be going through some more changes offering our guests more choices, we hope you give a few other items another chance. We hope you visit us again! Please visit our website as well for ... read more

La Fonda is a Great place to take a date... – A buddy of mine turned me on to La Fonda, when he went there on a date. He told me it was a great first date place so i went out for myself hoping I had the same luck as he did. The food was good, but it's weird when the mariachi came out the food got that much better. Come to think of it everything got much better. I don't really speak Spanish but I understand so it made the night fun. It's worth the drive, and the food was great. Get the Mole chicken (I think that's how you spe... read more

Great live entertainment and food – I dined here for the first time a couple of days ago for a business meeting and ordered a oaxacan quesadilla and the mole chicken. I enjoyed both very much, especially the quesadilla. The restaurant is not super beautiful, but we were told that the owner(s) have great plans for expanding and beautifying the restaurant and I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. What really made the dinner fantastic was the live mariachi band and traditional dancers. Every member of this band h... read more

Nice Restaurant, Good food/mariachi – The food is here is very good and the portions are as well. We were a big group of about 10 and we had a great time with the Mariachi show as well. Very nice place to go for a big party or a a nice evening for 2.

LA FONDA: GREAT MUSIC – LA FONDA IS ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS TO GO FOR MARIACHI, THE FOOD ISN'T SO GREAT BUT THE MARIACHI IS ONE THE BEST! THE STAFF IS NICE, YOU SHOULD DEFINETLY MAKE RESERVATIONS AND IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO SHOW UP MAKE SURE YOU GET A GOOD TABLE... WHEN YOU WALK IN YOU JUST FEEL SO WELCOME. aNOTHER THING IS THAT IF YOU ARE PLANNING A DINNER WHER IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN JUST 5 OR SIX MAKE SURE MAKE RESERVATION AT LEAST A COUPLE MONTH IN ADVANCE... THEY CAN FILL UP QUICKLY.
