The food here is excellent and seems to be made fresh. We had the Asada Fries as an appetizer and the potatoes were sliced fresh with the skin still on - just like home made. I had a shrimp dish and the shrimp, vegetables, and sauce were all excellent. The beans and rice were top notch too and everyone there was super nice. This place is a hidden gem.

Really tasty food, served hot. Reasonably priced, too. I haven't eaten much Mexican food, but I also haven't tried anything this good from the other food places I've tried. Great service, especially from Kimberly! I ordered the lunch set that had chile relleno, enchilada, and rice and beans. The complimentary salsa and chips were delicious, I couldn't stop eating. The cucumber aguas frescas was very refreshing. Will definitely visit again. Wishing this restaurant all the best!

The bean burrito was not cooked very well. Cheese inside was not melted. I had to microwave it when I got to work. Also the beans had a weird aftertaste as in perhaps maybe they had used fish Grease to refry the beans. That is a no-no!

The food was incredible much better than the previous restaurant. The menu is a bit small but very good. The jamaica agua fresca is the best I have had in town so far really great overall.

I was able to sample the Mexican Sushi at the Ribbon Cutting ceremony & grand opening. Best Sushi in town! Fresh fish, quality ingredients and so much flavor.

The last review I did apparently was at the old name so La Fonda is, I am assuming, now La Plebada.
