    Store bought taco shells

    Very disappointed in La Fonda tonight... my favorite Mexican restaurant in town and for my hard tacos I received store bought Old El Paso taco shells. Not genuine or worth my money tonight... be cautious about online orders The shells aren't even fresh.. they're stale

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was a whole vibe! It takes you back to the early 90s glory days of your hometown best Mexican restaurant from childhood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lunch specials are fire and delicious, strong margaritas. We will definitely be going back!

    A simple eatery with some fantastic Mexican food. There are alot of options and the servings are huge. We ended up taking leftovers to have another meal. The Sopapillas offered with each meal were delicious.

    Dinner out with friends. Food was awesome.

    Food was amazing, service was great and everyone from the hostess to the waiter and the gentleman who made my margarita were very kind and had big smiles. Huge portions, we will be back!! Reminded me of a favorite Mexican restaurant from my childhood.

    Strawberry Margarita on the Rocks

    The service was great with minimal wait time for our party of 11. The chips and salsa are always a great starting point. I highly recommend the Strawberry Margaritas! The two item dinner entrees are a great option but the problem is always which two should I pick. The food came out hot and tasted delicious. Don't forget about the Sopapillas, the best way to end your dinner. I love going to La Fonda anytime I'm in Flagstaff. Thank you.

We ordered (Tapatio Enchilada, Burrito De Camaron, kid cheese quesadillas) a margarita and kid's meal. Food were excellent 10/10!! We were impressed with everything, bussers or food runners they were super intensive. We got our drinks refilled, our boxes and dessert ordered by one of them. Also ordered another margarita once we ordered a fried Ice-cream. We love this place, would go every once in a while, because their food is so good and my fiancée is in love with their margarita. But here it comes, we asked for the check from our saver. Everything came right, but last one was 18% fees which was $22 something. And on the bottom of the check said gratuity is not included or tip is not included (something like that, didn't think of taking a picture). So we asked the saver and he said don't worry we will fix it. We ended up tipping him $30 cash, which we could have given it to bussers or food tunners instead. My question is, was it really the system error or was it because we were Asian and people assumed we don't know English? We love this place, and we're local here and now we have to think twice before returning who would be our server. Double check your bill before you pay.

Thinking the tacos would be small I ordered three. I had to take one home because I was full after two. And that's without rice and beans Please come here hungry! You will lot be disappointed. The service was great. So attentive. They stopped by often and asked, how is everything? Really welcoming. Can't wait to come back. Everything was amazing. ENJOY!!!

We were craving Mexican food and found this gem on Yelp! It had great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we ate here! I had the chilaquiles with red sauce and chicken. The food was amazing! They give you a lot, which I couldn't finish, but I totally took the rest home and ate it! The red sauce had great flavor and not spicy at all. The chicken was seasoned well. My mom had the chimichanga with green chili and she loved it! She said the meat was not dry and the green chili was delicious. Our fave were the chips and salsa! We loved the salsa so much, we bought a pint to take with us on our trip. As for the restaurant, the atmosphere was very upbeat, colorful, and full of culture. The inside is a little small, but when we went about 11am on a Thursday, it wasn't busy at all. Although, I did hear this place gets packed. Parking appeared very limited as this place is located in a small plaza area. Despite this, this restaurant is totally worth a try! My mom and I plan on coming back when we visit again!

Insanely delicious and what a great portion size. We were a bit surprised to learn chips and salsa are an extra charge which is not like most Mexican restaurants. We ordered them anyway and they were fantastic. The chips are light and crispy ( I don't like thick chips) and the 2 salsas were divine. I especially like the red and could have bought a gallon of it. We thought our server was attentive and friendly and the food and drinks came out pretty quick. They have some very cool Day of the Dead style artwork on the walls which was fun to look at.
