Staff was super nice.Restaurant is nicely decored and clean.The house salsa had fantastic taste and the slightest kick which was delicious.The mexican waters were okay, definitely not the best I've had.the choriqueso was okay -they use melted stringy cheese so once it cools it's thick and hard to enjoy.the chorizo sandwich wasn't enjoyed by the person who ordered it.the tacos were okay, very standard, nothing special or remarkable to warrant a return.

It was good for being a taco spot .Meat was tasty .The asada had flavor and juicy .The carnita tasted good had that pork marinate which complimented the tortilla very well. Chip and salsa that is giving complimentary are good and the marinate is good as well need a lil kick to it cause it’s sweet for my buds ijs .The tortilla was a good brand . Not sure if it was homemade I doubt it .The queso fondo was good but I could had been better .The green sauce was mediocre but that red one , watch out now! My taste buds were dancing due to its fiery flavor which I’m not complaining but don’t add to much .The orchata is served very good go for the liter it’s worth the monies ..To sum it up give it a try you will leave a happy person full of good compliments to talk about . .

What a wonderful find! We had the taquitos and the Chile relleno and both were delicious! We were there at lunch so had the homemade hibiscus tea. Service was great.

I’m late posting this review, and I apologize. We took the Harley for a ride from Fort Myers to Homestead with the intentions of eating at Fonda Familiar.We arrived at the restaurant, ready to eat. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered, and enjoyed the chips and salsa while waiting.We shared the combination fajitas and it was delicious !After finishing the main course, the owners, mother and son team, came out to join us, let us try complimentary desserts, also delicious, and great conversation.What a hidden gem of a restaurant, with good food, friendly staff and ownership. We like to try different restaurants and prefer to spend our money at the independent places rather than the big chain restaurants.Give FONDA FAMILIAR a try, I’m certain that you will be a frequent patron.

The best meal we had while staying in south Florida. The tacos and arrachera were fantastic and so was the service. A perfect stop after a day in the Everglades.

Soo good 1st time the mahimahi tacos and shrimp tacos so yumm, get the queso fundido with chorizo and use the fork its easier to get the cheese, the steak tacos had good flavor even took home some churros its best to eat freshly done but still so good. We'll be back

I found this cute hidden Mexican Gem a couple of months ago and have been a regular ever since. I’ve tried a wide assortment of items from the menu and absolutely everything has been delicious! Everything is fresh and tastefully made. Their guacamole is smooth and refreshing. Today I decided to try their seafood tacos, one grilled mahi-mahi, one grilled shrimp and one grilled salmon! Can you say Spectacular… it was a delicious explosion of flavors in your mouth! The staff are very friendly and accommodating and always go the extra mile to make sure your satisfied and happy with your selections. So if your in the mood for delicious authentic Mexican food this is the place to visit, I can promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

This place is so so so so good. Definitely worth the trip. Place has odd hours of operations. So call before hand. When food is this good, I guess you do how you feel. Lol.
