Patio seating area
Kurt P.

Lunch here today. Enjoyed the outdoor seating on the front patio - noisy with the traffic going by, but worth it for the social distancing. Really great chips and salsa. The chips were still warm, and very crunchy. Salsa has the perfect amount of heat. It took a little longer for my taco plate to arrive, but well worth the wait. The grilled onions were a nice touch and the fresh roasted jalapeño was. The taco meat was nicely marinated and I liked that it had cabbage instead of lettuce on it. I'll definitely stop in again the next time I'm driving past Deming!!

Didn't realize that most of Deming closes up at 7pm on a Saturday night. We were driving around and saw this place had a full parking lot and decided to try it. It's the definition of a small town restaurant. Homemade chips and salsa was my first clue it was going to be good. I ordered the combination platter and the server recommended green chili sauce on top. The portion was generous and it was probably the best Mexican platter I've ever had. I'd say the tamale was my favorite, but everything, including the rice and beans were outstanding. My friend ordered the stuffed sopapillas and said it was excellent as well. The service was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. I really wanted to rate it 5 stars, but the atmosphere and feel of the restaurant could really use some work. There were some other minor issues, unrelated to the food or service but I'd easily rate it a 4.5 if that was an option. Food 5 Service 5 Prices 5 Really wish they had house made flan, and looking forward to trying their Sunday Brunch!!!

Chips and Salsa
Bao H.

Yes, I was thinking of Napoleon Dynamite too! Fresh made chips and salsa! I would say that's the highlight of this place. I ordered their fajitas since they claimed it was their "famous" fajitas. I went with the steak and it came steaming still frying on a skillet; gosh I love that sound! It came along with some flour tortillas, rice, beans, and pico. The rice and beans were okay, but the pico was great! It had a kick I gather because of the green chili. As for the fajitas steak, I felt like I had to eat it quick because it was frying so fast that I didn't want it to overcook. Some pieces did and became crunchy. I wish they had left it somewhat rare so that as it layed on the skillet, it would allow it to cook to the temperature I would want to eat it. Service was pretty good and the place had a store front vibe. I would come back for the chips and salsa for sure!

Fajitas Carne only $11.99

We found this place, living here in Deming, New Mexico. It always looks filled up, and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did. Today I had the Fajitas Carne. First off price, it was $11.99. Unbelievable price, succulent tender steak strips, with a hint of seasoning, very pleasant on my pallet. Strips of white onion, charred to perfection, strips of green pepper, sautéed, and a little charred the way it should be. On a sizzling platter, no less! There was a cup of frijoles or beans, so incredibly flavorful, there was a little pico de gallo, I think I spelled that right, small diced jalapeño, tomato, onion, with slivered iceberg lettuce, there was guacamole, and OHHH! Flour tortillas, my favorite. The missus and I had iced tea, to go with our meal. I'm telling you, our glasses were never empty. I forewarned our server, Minnie, that today I was a very thirsty boy, she brought us a carafe of iced tea, and we managed to empty it, three times. The tea was a little dark, and the tea flavor was really good, I used to sweeten my tea, but I discovered that unsweetened tea really quenches my thirst...hahaha today it was so delicious I had to have more. Our lunch came to $23.41, and we were stuffed. Less than $25 bucks in this day and age is a tremendous bargain for two people. I HIGHLY recommend La Fonda in Deming, for lunch or dinner. The other night we tried their taco's. OMG, so delicious, practically melts in your mouth, pulled beef roast in there!

Service : amazing. Really sweet staff and really prompt Atmosphere : nice and perfect decor for Mexican food. It's a little sketch location but our car was fine. Food : the rice could have had more flavor the beans were good and the meat was good but salsa made it better as it was a little plain. I had the taco plate.

Basic but well done food. Beans and salsa are especially good. Friendly staff although a little slow. Extremely affordable.
