La Fonda is a local hangout restaurant that offers a unique blend of Mexican and Southern cuisine. It is a Lafayette classic with a lot of history and a great ambiance. The restaurant has a reputation for having long waits, especially during peak hours, but the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere make the wait worthwhile. The menu features a range of options, including the popular fried chicken, which is the best ever, and the excellent Carne Asada. The fried rabbit appetizer, kabobs, pork chop, and chicken salad stuffed avocado are also awesome. The restaurant also offers an "off-menu" selection with great options and super strong margaritas. Overall, La Fonda is a gem that is well worth the experience, especially for those who appreciate the social culture and atmosphere of a historic local hangout.
