La Fonda On Main

I Love La Fonda!

I decided to try this place out one day with my girlfriend Rawan. I live in the Dominion so I really dont care to drive downtown for lunch but she twisted my arm. Well, I must say that to my surprise everything was absolutely delicious. The customer service was amazing! There is truly nothing that is more important than customer service to me. The outdoor patio was so beautiful. I'm not on that side of town often but I will be back. You guys keep up the great work!

Very good food. Beautiful outdoor patio. Good service.

I've patronized this SA landmark since the 70's. Located in a quaint stucco building in a quiet neighborhood that is easily accessible from downtown area, this restaurant is a favorite for locals and a real treat for tourists. The atmosphere and service recalls that old-time casual dining experience that has virtually disappeared from the restaurant scene now days. The patio area is a ideal spot to enjoy a margarita or a tall glass of sangria. Service is generally very good, but there have been occasions over the years when I felt a little neglected. Food is primarily traditional Tex Mex with a lean toward Southwest cuisine. I'd rate the quality on most dishes I've sampled as middle-of-the-road average in a town that boasts some of the best mexican food in Texas. My wife and grown daughter love this ""cute"" little place. As former restaurant owner, I have to point out that great food and decent service will sell regardless of the ""atmospere"", but the over-all experience at La Fonda should place it pretty high on your dining list the next time you're in SA.

Pros: If you have a romantic notion of old SA Mexican dining, it's perfect.

Cons: Average food in a great Mexican food town.

Each year my BFFs come here, drink spectacular margaritas on the patio, order the specials and celebrate our lives and loves in San Antonio. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Pros: cuisine, not just food

Cons: parking limited due to popularity

I'm not the biggest fan of mexican food, but I really liked this place. My favorite dish is the rainbow trout, thought I don't think you can go wrong with any of their other dishes. It has a great atmosphere, and the waiters are very professional. I love sitting outside in the back. THere's a beautiful little fountain. My coworkers and I would go there all the time for birthdays and other celebrations

Great Mexican food and a great atmosphere, especially if it is a nice day and you can sit outside. Of course, the margaritas are excellent as well!

Pros: Margairtas, Mexican Food

My wife and I ate lunch at La Fonda this weekend and it was an excellent experience. Our server, Maria, was very attentive and checked on us repeatedly. The food is not your standard Mexican food but is creative and delicious. We have eaten here one time before and enjoyed it very much then. I highly recommend it.

The food was good, yet the outside patio made the experience completely worth it. While being relaxed and casual, La Fonda still has a touch of class enough to suit the needs of any well dined individual. The location is convenient and parking was simple. I will definitely be back.

Pros: Good Parking, Relaxed Atmosphere, Great Outdoor Seating

I've been going here since 1946 and still enjoy the ambiance, the good food, great service, and wonderful memories.

Pros: atmosphere, food, service

Ive had a chance to know LaFonda, from front and back, they have the most creative, and selected dishes of a true mexican restaurant. Reminds me of Mi Mexico............ Great food listen to a Mexican

Pros: Freshness, enviroment, great patio

Cons: not play ground, kids r welcome

Really enjoyed the ambiance, but the food lacked in quality; the service lacked as well. Needs to work on these two aspects.

Pros: environment, open windows

Cons: slacking service, food quality

My wife and I recently dined at La Fonda on Main and were extremely disappointed in the food. The patio was pleasant, and the service was very good. Our food arrived quickly, however I believe that was due to the fact it had been prepared well before our arrival. All of side items appeared to come from a box or can, and the main dishes were uninspired. I could understand La Fonda's popularity were it located in Ohio, but San Antonio has far too many great mexican restaurants for this place to remain open let alone popular.

Pros: Nice Patio, Good Service, Warm chips

Cons: Bad Food, Bad Food, Bad Food
