    We celebrated our 54th anniversary by dining outside. La Fonda is hard to beat for romantic patio dining. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. Food was very good. (We split the skewer which had excellent beef, shrimp, pork and veggies. A nice bottle of Cava helped.) The evening started fairly hot, but well-placed fans kept us comfortable. Not sure if we would stay outside July-September, but La Fonda has ample indoor seating for the hot summer.

    I have been going to La Fonda for over 50 years! It is a true local tradition. The food and drinks are amazing. The ambience is true San Antonio. If you want true Tex Mex in an upscale traditional setting, that has not been changed for the tourists, this is where you come.
