A great little place for good Tex-Mex food. The enchiladas and tamales were good and the guacamole was great. Chicken fried steak, fried catfish and the El Fantastico (big taco) got rave reviews at our table. Hot sauce was gringo mild and had a good flavor. Chips were light and fresh. Good service with attentive servers. read more

Enjoyed the breakfast. Prices are very reasonable. Refried beans are the real thing here not out of the can. Corn tortillas are fresh. Salsa is very good. Truly authentic. Don't miss this place if you are in Jacksonville!! They have daily specials. read more

Their food is authentic and delicious! Only down side is don't go eat there in the summer it's blazing hot in there! They have one big fan blowing in there and a small window AC! You'll be heavy sweating by the time the food comes out. Sad thing is they are understaffed so it's takes a while to get your food. read more

Stop in here 3 times, once for breakfast & twice for lunch. Nothing fancy but the food was good & has a wide variety menu. The salsa was different but tasty & has a little tang & taste good on what ever you put it on. Really enjoyed the Taco Mexicanos, 3 street style tacos with onions & cilantro. The fajitas were tender with good taste. Again nothing fancy but I'll definitely go back for lunch to try some of the other items. read more

Excellent breakfast food! Very authentic Mexican! We ate 3 baskets of chips and salsa because they were just so good. We'll come back any time we're in Jacksonville! read more

Great authentic Mexican food, so far the best I have ever tasted. Especially the cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans were incredible, I highly recommend coming to this place. Something else that makes this place stand out is the weighters. They were so kind curtious and just amazing. When we came here the guy joked round with us and we joked with him too. Just the scenery was beautiful, the old pictures, and everything. The cooling was amazing they had fans, and an ac, just fans everywhere. So like I said I would highly recommend this place. So if you'll are ever in the Jacksonville tx area and you'll need some amazing Mexican food come down here!! read more

After reading all of the great reviews for La Fonda I though I would see for myself. The parking lot was full of cars, trucks, and several police vehicles from the area. If the locals eat here then it must be good. I walked in and sat down at a table right in the front. After several minutes I finally had one of the staff walk over with a menu and ask what I wanted to drink. Several more minutes they returned with my tea and took my order. My order came out in a reasonable amount of time and I dug in. I had worked most of the night so I was ready for "lunch" as it were at 9 in the morning. I had to flag one of the staff down for catsup to put on the hash browns. I would have thought that might have been a standard thing to offer with them. I was here for about a half hour and after the waiter brought out my food and finally got the catsup I never had them come to my table again. My drink went dry and nobody even noticed it even with me at a table right in front of the counter. I finally decided to leave and had to go to the counter to get my ticket and pay. The food was great with decent portions but the service stank! They would have got 4+ stars from me if the service would have been decent. I even watched several of the regulars get up to get drink refills for themselves. I guess that the staff at La Fonda feel that the food is the only reason that they have customers. The service is definately not why people eat here. read more

Loved the fresh food! No nonsense service. (Quick and Unpretentious) the fajitas were tender juicy and served piping hot! The corn tortillas were also quite tender! read more

La Fonda del Sol - Chicken/beef fajitas are sizzlin' hot and perfectly seasoned! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Texas

Food was bad and brought us the wrong stuff and charged for flat coke. Never going back. Even if the fish is good. Went to pay and the boy was on the phone talking to his boy friend. read more

Growing up in a small town you always wanted that one place you can go eat and can't find anywhere else, this is it! It's the best breakfast you can get for miles around and the lunch is delicious too. Te prices are well within my college student budget so it's a must at least once a week! I always et the King Plate, it's eggs, potatoes, jalapeños, onions, and tomato scrambled together and served with bacon and retried beans with hot con tortillas, it's a build or own breakfast taco plate!!! read more

La Fonda del Sol - The king plate every time, and only $7.25!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Texas

Excellent Food and Service!!! I will definitely keep coming back, just wish they were open all day!!

If I could put a 0 star I gladly do it, food wasn't bad, put the guy serving was for sure not giving a good service, he was moody, worse experience I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant!! read more

The food is GOOD! The king's breakfast plate is huge, and the tortillas are real. The atmosphere is laid back, as I was listening to a family laugh and reminisce about a loved one who recently passed away. The only drawback? The entrance is a around a corner, making a day trekker have to make a 1 mile u-turn, or make a dangerous u-turn. I would hate for a hungry soul miss out on this spicy chorizo con papa and homemade refríes beans read more

This is, without a doubt, the best breakfast in Jacksonville. This is a little family-owned taqueria-style diner that is clean, neat and staffed with friendly, attentive folks. The chorizo and eggs were the best I've had (chunks of sauteed onion and potato scrambled in with the eggs and chorizo) and came with refried beans, a side of bacon and warm, fresh tortillas. Husband had the Mexicana platter that consisted of a huge plate of eggs scrambled with onions, peppers and who-knows- what-else, with sides of refried beans, hash browns and tortillas. Both were extremely generous portions but we didn't leave a single morsel. They also serve "American" breakfast items and even have pancakes. read more

This place is ridiculous(ly good). The chilaquiles made me cry with happiness. We ate our breakfast in reverent, rapturous silence, punctuated only by mmmmmm noises. There is only one thing wrong with this restaurant--it's about 2300 miles away from my house. read more

Great food! Friendly staff, they have great daily special! I've never been disappointed with them. Mario s always ready to take care of you, when you go back a couple of times you will be his friend! read more

I googled "Mexican breakfast + 75766" and old Fonda del Sol came up first with good yelp reviews so a breakfast visit was imminent. Let me preface this review by saying I had a house guest from out of town in for the weekend. Gary Fencik, part of our 46 Defense, was riding shotgun on this morning. Now let me back up and tell you that "Fence" is an Ivy League grad and every bit as pretentious as the rest of those snotty New England pukes. The service was quick and attentive. The coffee was warm and tasty but not your fancy coffee like you'd find in New York City so Fence was a little put off in his typical bitch fashion but that's Fence for ya. Being the ass kicking linebacker I am I ordered the King Plate. Fence being the little bitch Safety ordered some lighter fare. I've got to say if the bar is set in NYC where I was kicking Phil Simms' ass then Fonda would only get 1 star but this is East Texas small town so I'll give 3 stars because the portion size didn't live up to my NFL-sized concussion giving appetite. Nonetheless, the food was tasty and I'll certainly come back although The Fridge would need to order at least of the King Plate. read more

Be forewarned that they don't have air conditioning so normally during the summer, we order out lol. My father-in-law is a self-proclaimed chicken fried steak connoisseur and says that their's is the best he's had. The building isn't in the best condition but they're food is worth trying. read more

Good food. Clean place. Reasonable prices. Decent service. I had the chorizo and eggs. Husband had the migas. Coffee is excellent. Ask for the better creamers. We will return! read more

I read about the good food and slow service and gave it a shot. Service was not only slow, but very bad! If the food had been good, it might have been worth it, but it wasn't. And we sat next to a blowing fan that hasn't been cleaned in 50 years. Gross! Go somewhere else. read more

The food has always been good and fresh every time we stopped in for dinner. Especially try the catfish which is the best I've had.

It's a very good thing the food is excellent. Because sitting here watching the three ladies chat for 25 minutes instead of cooking my lunch really irritates me. Food 4 stars, service. :-/ read more
