    My guests were here from out-of-state and were told no softvdrinks due to issue with carbonation. Now this is prine dinner-time at one of the oldest, premiere Mexican restaurants in the area! So my guest orders lemonade and waiter offered a "refill" never advised we'd be charged for another! The manager refused to compensate. Very rude!

    Great service and food. We had Appetizer and Main courses that were excellent. We especially liked the Chips with Guacamole, Queso, and Salsa.

    We had a great Sunday brunch at La Fonda’s! When we are visiting in San Antonio we always make it a priority to stop there for brunch on our way out of town. Highly Recommend!!!

    This continues to be our favorite restaurant in San Antonio, and our favorite brunch spot as well. We've tried every top rated brunch in SA and La Fonda still takes the prize. The rotating specials, beautiful decor and courtyard, and exceptional service and food are why this has been around for almost 100 years.

    Some of the meat in the chili/sauce on top of the tamale was inedible. All else good.

    My friends and I decided to meet up for lunch at La Fonda on Main and we were so happy that we did. The weather held up and we were able to enjoy a wonderful lunch on La Fonda's gorgeous patio. Our server was awesome and very patient with us as we spent more time chatting than looking over the menu. Everyone raved about their choice of dishes. I ordered the combo 2 tacos and choice or chef's soup. Amazing! You cannot go wrong with any of the dishes at La Fonda.

    First everyone told us this was the place to go for a fun Mexican dinner. From the greeting when we walked in the door to the final farewell when we finished, the service and energy of the restaurant were excellent. I strongly recommend it.
