Great atmosphere and margs - Very deceptive business practices – Great atmosphere. Very good margaritas. Food is average. As stated already, BEWARE OF THE AUTOMATIC SERVICE CHARGE (regardless of your party size)!! I have been going to La Fuentes for over 10 years. However, due to this very questionable business practice, I will no longer visit this establishment. Please note, the receipt that you initially receive with your total does state that there is a service charge added (which is less than we normally tip). However, t... read more

Aside from that - VERY delicious food and margarita... read more

Deceptive tipping policy – My husband and I have been frequenting La Fuente for over 12 years., before the numerous expansions. We go there at least once a week.

We have owned restaurants in other states, so , we know quite alot about the restaurant business. We think it is cheesey to charge for refills on soft drinks. It cost them about 10 cents. The biggest gripe we have is their new deceptive practice o... read more

Weekly Occurrence! I have been going to La Fuente for 6 years now and all I have to say is...I'm addicted! On average, we go at least once weekly...and when family came to town from out of state, we went 3 times in 5 days! They loved it! The margaritas, the salsa, the food! Amazing! I can't say enough great things about this authentic mexican restaurant! Sit on the patio if its warm enough...the atmosphere is so much fun!!
