Had reservations for 10 people not enough food for everyone we had to look for another restaurant
Very disappointed since it was for a very special family reunion they never callled to let me know in advance ….
We hadn't been here in a while. Looked forward.
Start positive: White rice, red beans, and arroz con gandules, very good.
However, on a Friday evening (7ish) , there was only 1 server for the entire section. It was not crowded. Empty tables in our section.We placed our orders right away with drinks and an appetizer.
We waited more than 30 minutes for our drinks and appetizer. Appetizer never arrived, but our main courses (both the same) did. The fried pork chops...read full review
Service was awesome and the atmosphere felt like home!

La Fonda is a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience with its blend of authentic food, cultural atmosphere, and art. The menu includes a vegan option and dishes that are reasonably priced. The restaurant is known for its 'Jefe' sandwich and handcrafted cocktails. Many guests say the food tastes like family, home, and memories, making it feel warm and sincere. The artwork and the tradition of verbally communicating the menu of the day add to the authentic vibe. Customers often feel that supporting a local business and trusting the chef will lead to a satisfying meal, with some wishing salads would return to the entrees. The staff is hospitable, kind, and uses fresh ingredients, and the owner treats guests like family. The place also serves as a community gathering spot, hosting various activities and events. The dishes demonstrate remarkable quality, and the drinks are crafted with care and creativity. Visitors often find the food comforting, reminding them of home, and the atmosphere inviting with good music. However, there are reports of slow service, with long wait times for seating, orders, and checks, and the place can get crowded, so reservations are recommended during weekends. Portions are considered small, and drinks sometimes are weak, but the overall experience remains memorable. La Fonda’s authentic and tasty food can be inspiring and leaves customers feeling full and happy.
