    All of the food was wonderful, but the desserts were unforgettable. The peach tart and key lime empanadas were two of the best desserts we have ever had. Another stand out was the huitlacoche empanada appetizer. The suisa enchilada was also lovely and light as air.

    We had a fabulous evening the food was amazing, the drinks were great and the service was impeccable. We had the shrimp and lobster enchiladas. They was to die for. Would order again without question. Our server Ethan was excellent. Attentive and respectful, gave us the time and space to enjoy or dinner but was able to see when we’re were ready for a question or in need of something. Great service.

    Such a quintessential San Antonio dining experience. Great outdoor options. Good food (fajitas, enchiladas are extra good). Although busy and quite loud (indoors), we never felt rushed. Really good value!

    La Fonda was fantastic, fun, fabulous, even frivolous. Good food, lots of interesting outside places along with a splendid inside space. Great specials and a wonderful menu. La Fonda is a great place to have a meal with business associates, friends or family.
