Good Mexican food served by a friendly staff. I had LaFonda tacos w/chicken. Have to try with beef next time. Chili rellenos plate / crispy is always good.

We were next to a pretty loud party but they were having fun and we didn't want to get in the way of that. The food was great. I was a little surprised they didn't ask how spicy I wanted it, but it was perfect for my taste. If you like spicy, you probably should mention it to your server. The service was perfect, too. We really enjoyed it and the price was just right.

Came in for dinner tonight and was seated near restrooms. Staff cleaned bathroom while people still in the dining area. She must have used full strength lavender fabuloso because it hit the air fast and stayed there our whole meal. It's been two hours since we left and I can still taste fabuloso in my mouth. Couldn't enjoy our food because that strong scent interfered with our ability to enjoy the meal. Maybe clean restrooms when you are closing and everyone's left? I can't tell you if the food was good or not. Waitstaff was friendly and pleasant which is a bonus but hide the fabuloso!!!
To Clarify up front, I almost never give 1 or 5 stars as that means the place is exceptionally bad or good. I just updated this La Fonda to Five Stars because their service is amazing and very friendly. They deserve your business. I am so glad I rediscovered La Fonda! My family would bring me here back in the late 1970s and in many ways it still looks the same. I have been searching for a place to go that my ex doesn't know or go ;-) My waitress the day was absolutely amazing and accommodating for my vegetarian needs saving me from the customary smothering of Pork, Green Chile. I am sure it's good because the rest of the food I have eaten here has been great. (three times so far) It's not all "Traditional Mexican" recipes, which frankly is nearly impossible to find locally. Don't let that dissuade you! There are some Real Mexican treats and the usual "Tex-New Mex" food at La Fonda. It is exactly what one would expect to find and they have a lot of choices at reasonable prices and you get a Big Plate-Full! You parents should appreciate the Combinations: #8 "Children's Plates" for $5-! I only drink coffee, but I saw a what looks to be a reasonable wine rack and they have a "From the Bar" menu for those that want a little something. The kitchen is well run, organized and fast. They get all the food for your table out at the same time and piping hot! By the way all my servers have been excellent and friendly, it seems they all speak Spanish and English which is a real plus. Even the cooks waved good bye as I left the other day! That's Awesome! It really makes one feel welcome. And it wasn't just me the staff treats everyone nice and they remember those they have seen before! Saying "How are you, Today?" it really goes a long way! I highly recommend La Fonda!

I’ve been coming here for 40 years, very nostalgic for my family. It’s so great that it is pretty much the same as when Rick Garcia owned it, in fact, I can’t tell the difference. The LaFonda burrito is my favorite. If you’re in the Wheat Ridge area stop in and enjoy this awesome restaurant.

Prices have more than doubled in the last year and the menus are not updated so you get a ridiculously high bill without knowing … this will probably be our last visit. Adios.
