I had hoped to order sopapillas but we were there too early for them to be making them. As we were asking for the check, our server Leticia came by and asked if I still wanted a sopapilla. She brought one over to me with the check, for free. It was such a sweet small gesture--and it was delicious.

We've been traveling and…read morehonestly I was tired and didn't want to drive into Espanola for dinner, but was pushed into it. Not very hungry, I ordered a Frito Pie (what I consider a small dish that is always ok, but nothing special. ) First, this came with a large bowl of beans and ground beef in the best red chile I've ever tasted. After over eating at the restaurant, I brought half of this dish home for another meal. My wife had a small ground beef stuffed sopapilla with green chile. She said it was excellent and also had leftovers. My daughter had the Enchiladas Especial with Christmas and said it was outstanding as well. Dinner finished with three large and delicious sopapillas and honey. Service was excellent, the ambiance of the restaurant comfortable and relaxing. I can imagine there may be times we will drive up from Albuquerque just for a truly amazing New Mexican meal.

We ordered their green chile chicken enchiladas, red chile beef enchiladas, calabacitas, street tacos, and more! Throughout dinner, many people came up to us and were thrilled with the food and expressed how tasty it was, even us from Northern New Mexico were incredibly impressed. Just the right spice level, everything was hot, and the service was amazing. If you are looking to cater a wedding in Northern New Mexico, we highly recommend La Fonda Del Sol. Thank you for making our night even more special.

This was BFF's first time here and he loved it. Both he and mom ordered the carne adovada plate which came with refried beans and rice (they did state that the red chile was too spicy though). I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with both red and green chile (Xmas style). It was ok but 16 bucks for this was too expensive. We also ordered a margarita each and they were also just ok and too expensive at 13 bucks each. As for the parking, it is kind of confusing but there is plenty of (unmarked) spots and kind of like a maze. We dropped off mom on the side (she is handicapped) as there really isn't a front side where you can drop off anyone. Our server was so genuinely nice though and provided excellent service and she went above as well as she noticed us dropping mom off via the cameras and told us we could go out through the side entrance. Would I be back? Most likely not as I had mentioned above that this place has never been one of my favorites but I am sure I am in the minority. I hear it is quite the place to be seen (for happy hour).

I was thrilled that they changed their days of operation to Tuesday and Wednesday closed as they used to be Monday Tuesday which were my days off work. Aguachiles were good, but packed quite haphazardly as I could see a puddle of liquid in the bottom of my bag before even leaving the restaurant.. My kids' mom usually loves the Al Pastor tacos here, but today was very unhappy with them stating that the little meat she got was fatty and they were overloaded with mostly pineapple as filling. Only one small piece of lime for the plate. My son's steak burrito was very small compared to the price point. My daughter did like her elote en vaso even though they didn't have the right sized lid for the cups they serve it in, which made it cumbersome to get home. Aguas frescas (Sandia) were still good. Overall price point to quality wasn't great today.
