La Fonda just isn’t the same. This was my fourth visit and there was less food available last night than my other visits. The menu just keeps getting altered. The service isn’t good. We were asked to place our orders using QR codes that didn’t work and staff left us waiting for a good amount of time even though the restaurant had very few patrons. Finally we were able to order with a waiter but had to rely on the folks at the table that had working QR menus. We each ended up just ordering one drink each and going to another restaurant to get dinner.

Google allows you to choose recommended dishes for your review however, the majority of the listed dishes are no longer part of the menu.

Stopped by last night. Even though they were holding a private event they accommodated us. In my opinion the best Puerto Rican establishment in NYC. James stopped by our table and we immediately were drawn to his passion for our culture. I felt like we were on the Island. Definitely stop by and show love.

The food was good but there were a lot of things wrong with this place. First they handed us a QR code menu that listed many items that they didn’t actually have. Then we were handed a paper menu that had less items but every time we ordered something they came back saying they ran out. They basically had 3 dishes available. They had 5 items listed on the dessert menu but not a single item available. They didn’t even have the soft drinks listed on the menu The service was very slow. The waitress was inattentive. I asked for lime and the waitress brought one small piece of lime holding it in a toothpick. I don’t know how this place is in business.

The service and the atmosphere in this place never fail to impress me. And while the food is usually spot on. The items on the menu can vary from day to day. The monfongo have been spot on the two times I've visited. The pernil was salty the first time and dry the second time. The tostones were fresh and perfectly cooked. Also, the first time, most desserts were not available. I do really enjoy the atmosphere and the service.

Also, on a side note recently, they are offering a menu with food that is not spanish food. Smashburgers and pizza...

Sometimes the food takes a while, but the environment, the service and hospitality is very Puerto Rican, the wait is way worth it!!?

The first thing when we got there the waitress stated that were was only two appetizer and this was at 430,waited almost for 2 hour's for the food and it was only two tables 1 table with 3 person and our with 5. Asked to speak with the manager he started that he's manager and the cooker at the same time "I'm not changing of anyone naughty attitude. I food was cold,my bean came out in a cup where you served coffee and cold. My coworker complained it was cold and he brought her another piece of chicken maybe this is hot now. Not go there

I wanted to try this restaurant, so I ordered through Too Good To Go. Boy, was I disappointed! They made me wait 40 minutes until another Too Good To Go customer came for their pickup. Furthermore, the food was a salty mess: chicken scraps and white rice. I don't understand why I had to wait 40 minutes for such poor-quality food. I'm glad I didn't pay the retail price. I will ask Too Good To Go for a full refund.

After flying in from Chicago on Thanksgiving morning and after a Google search on where we wanted to eat that night we found this gem and I’m so glad we did. Although we didn’t have the traditional menu as they had a special menu (all cooked by Mama herself) for the holiday everything was delicious but what really did it for us was since we were away from family for the holiday we felt as though we were sitting amongst family we were so entranced in conversation that we stayed well past the time that our plates were empty and walked out of there full and overjoyed with the overall vibe and experience.. Thank you again for making us feel at home ❤️
