Ranchero plate with barbacoa
Gloria Emelina M.

First time here. Cute small place very inviting. The food was great, many options to choose from. The staff was very friendly and helpful when ordering. Definitely coming back.

Rico! OMG it was good. I had the chicken soup with corn tortillas. La Fonda is a very nice, family owned, authentic Mexican food restaurant. And, the owners are very nice too.

I ran into this spot by accident and I'm so glad I did. The people were so kind and ready to serve excellence. This was by far the best carne guisada that I've had in Houston! The chicken con salsa was amazing too. And the tortillas? Fresh and homemade. The quaint place was chill and very clean. I'll be back for sure!

Muy rica la comida como siempre ! Les recomiendo este lugar esta alos alrededores de houston

Chicken breast tacos
Danny A.

First time here, and definitely not my last time. Today I got some chicken breast tacos, so good and fresh. Nice little kick to them. Service is fast too and it has this cool little authentic feel.

Fajita burrito plate
Rene F.

Stopped by for lunch at this small location and they didn't disappoint. They have a great variety of food. I ordered the burrito plate and it was delicious and full of flavor. The beans are rice were delicious too. I'll be going back to try other menu items for sure .

Chorizo egg scramble with refried bean and plantain.
Chau H.

Love that there's an authentic Mexican restaurant in the Sugar Land area. Pretty good food. I kind of customized mine by asking for a chorizo egg scramble with refried bean and ranchero sauce on the side. The ranchero sauce has a little kick to it so does the green sauce for those that like it a little spicy. They have cafeteria style food as well for lunch. They also have a pictures of various plates on the wall but with no words or prices hence I knocked off a star. I would definitely come back here and get their other plates but I would have to ask them what's in it and how much.

My coworkers often praise La Fonda, but I never really tried except for a breakfast taco my coworker recently got one for me to try. Today, I decided to visit for some breakfast tacos. I got the Mexican eggs and one not on the menu, just egg and cheese. The Mexican eggs tacos was really good, but the egg and cheese one was just so-so. I think the tortillas are just so-so but the fillings are flavorful/tasty. The green sauce absolutely makes the tacos better than average. I will definitely get more breakfast tacos here in the future. The restaurant itself kinda looks like a cafeteria type, but the ladies seems really sweet. Also, their restroom is really clean.

Food was awesome! Had the pulpo. Service was great…read more Drinks were good too. Noticed it is a good place for large parties like 6-8.

Stopped by Lago Mariscos for a casual dinner and was pleasantly surprised! One of my favorite…read morethings is that they offer all-day specials on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is always a nice bonus. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa had a nice flavor definitely a great way to kick off the meal. I ordered the strawberry margarita and it was refreshing, smooth, and hit the spot! We also tried the queso. It was okay, but if you're looking for a more traditional Mexican-style queso, just know this one leans more toward the Velveeta-style cheese dip. My niece ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and gave them a thumbs up! She said they were flavorful and really enjoyed them. (No picture) The atmosphere was a highlight for me. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio overlooks the lake, creating a relaxing vibe that's perfect for enjoying a meal and drinks. A special shoutout to our server, Jeanette (I believe that was her name)! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Overall, this is a really nice spot with good food, great service, and beautiful views. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. I've got my eye on the octopus next time! I'll keep y'all posted. #LoveJonesEats

The place is much larger than I expected from the outside. They have a separate bar area with bar seats & a few tables & then the restaurant has a few different sections including a section with doors if you want to have a private gathering. They also have a decent size patio. Service was good. The server repeatably checked on our party. But this is a Mexican restaurant so let's talk margaritas! I like my margaritas on the rocks, with a nice kick from a reposado premium tequila & a premium orange liqueur, preferably grand marnier. This place absolutely delivers! More importantly, they have consistently made great margaritas for each of my 4 visits. If you want a good tasting, strong margarita go for the black barrel margarita. I would be stunned if you were disappointed. The food is also good. Often you find a place with good drinks but the food isn't so great. Not the case here. I've had the steak quesadillas, the steak fajitas, & the fajita burrito. All good! I was so excited about this new find that I made 7 family members meet me for happy hour and everyone loved both the food & drinks. The complementary chips come with a bean dip & a medium spicy salsa. Come check them out!

Great Mexican restaurant!…read more We ordered the el molcajete, port carnitas tacos and steak and shrimp with a couple of margaritas and I have to say , I was very very pleased with our meals. Since moving here to Texas it has been quite difficult to find a restaurant that serves meals outside of Tex Mex . Something told us to explore the area a bit more and thankfully we did ! El fogon has been one of the most authentic Mexican restaurant we've had so far. In the month of May, my husband and I have ate here twice and every plate that we've ordered have been incredibly delicious. The meats are very tender & seasoned extremely well. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for dishes outside of the typical Tex mex. The menu has so many options and everything looks and smells so good. Their margaritas are made very well which is a bonus! I appreciate the assortment of seating (booths , patio ,tables & bar top ). I loved the decor and cleanliness. Our service each time has been top tier. The staff is friendly , fast and accommodating. Based on our experience both times, we are definitely returning and encouraging friends to try. I am ready to return already. Yum !
