    I planned an evening for my wife’s birthday and we had an amazing time. Fernando and the other server were amazing and very attentive to our table. It’s sad to hear the restaurant is closing in five weeks. Truly enjoyed the pictures of margaritas and all the little candles in the slice of chocolate cake! Thank you for a wonderful night.

    Great place for lunch or dinner. Good is delicious, nicely presented with generous portions and most of all authentic. Rumor has it that the owner is retiring. Go NOW and have a great authentic Colombian meal before it closes...

    Had not seen my college friend in more than 10 years and this was the perfect place for us to meet up. She and her wife are from Brazil and our other friend is Dominican/Puerto Rican/Mexican so between all of us the cuisine at La Fonda is PERFECT! They were very accommodating and service was fast. The food and drinks here are always good here and it never disappoints.

    Great waitstaff, knowledgeable and cordial. Excellent food. Tasty salsa. Very nice flan. Pretty room. Very noisy due to a party of about 18 people talking loudly. Fabric wall hangings could cut the noise a bit. I would come back.

    We made our reservation based on the neighborhood and cuisine style. We had never tried LaFonda before. While the restaurant was a bit empty when we got there our fears were allayed by the incredibly friendly servers and the quality of the food. When we inquired to the flavor of an unfamiliar liquer on the menu we were offered a sample; which was fortunate because we found it not to our liking. The chocolate cake was divine!
