Soft tacos, rice, & refried beans awful, worst Mexican food I've ever had, will not to back. Service was fine, ambiance - just a Mexican restaurant. Interesting at 12:30 p.m. the place was basically empty. read more

We have eaten there for years. My husband loved her chicken fajitas with fresh jalapeños on it! And their extra hot sauce!

Terrible service tonight and the restaurant wasn't crowded. A long wait for chips, then taking drink order and then the food order. Our waiter never came back after taking our order...we didn't get drink refills or asked how our meal was. After being there for 90 minutes, I had to approach the cashier area and ask for the check. read more

Excellent service and great food! I'm one that admittedly doesn't eat Mexican a great deal because I find that all the various Mexican restaurants are so similar in taste. But my wife loves it and today we went. I was impressed with the service, and unexpectedly surprised by the meal- delicious!!! I highly recommend the tamales ;) read more

We enjoyed our meal and margaritas at La Fuente in Lees Summit. I tried something new and went with the Pineapple Fajita Mix and WOW! Pretty presentation with a lot of flavor. Highly recommend! Ask the server about drink specials that night. Great service & clean environment! read more

DONT GO HERE!! Go to any other Mexican restaurant before this one. They will over charge you!!! And the food is horrendous!! Food - mediocre at best. I had chicken enchiladas and they were ok. The refried beans tasted like fish water. The cheese dip tasted like stale burnt peppers. Plus our server messed up our orders and never came back. Service - awful!! The server was not paying attention when taking our order. We order meals and 2 of them we requested no beans just rice and she charged us for extra rice. We ordered cheese sauce on our burrito and enchiladas and it only came on enchilada's but we were charged for both. When we went to pay and tell them the issue because she never came back they did not listen so we just paid. And just washed our hands of the whole deal. Then when we see our credit card charge they increased the tip on our card. What the heck!! Who does that!!! Don't go here!! Go to Carmens! Over trying all the Mexican restaurants in LEE'S Summit. read more

The food was great. We had an amazing catch up with all the gossip. Service was quick even though their was a lot of people their. The chips and salsa were free and amazing!! Atmosphere was great and cheerful with all the AMAZING MUSIC. Definitely will come back!! read more

This establishment has always been fair, really good food, and customer service. Order the chicken chimichanga trust me.

Good food and service. The staff keeps the restaurant clean. I would recommend to friends.

AVOID LA FUENTE! AVOID LA FUENTE! I ate there for lunch today, and ordered Potato LaFuente, by pointing at it on the menu. The server brought our food, and in taking my first bite, I knew that it was the wrong thing. It had none of the things described in it. The server (Marco?) never came back to check on our table, I was starving, so I ate it. When he came back to bring our check, I told him that I was willing to pay half-price since I did eat it; he said that he thought that I wanted an entre on another page of the menu. Pollo-something or other (there was no chicken in the dish that he brought...) Long story short, he was willing to deduct 10%; I said no. Poor service, didn't check on customers, delivered wrong food, was very argumentative, non-customer centric; will never go back nor UberEats this business. El Potro, about 1/2 mile down the street, is an awesome place to eat, always friendly, great service; Marco was a great advertisement for them. read more

I had heard that La Fuente had great margaritas. Of course I'm going to get one as soon as I sit down! The margarita was great. I had a medium sized one and picked up a small buzz from drinking just one! It didn't taste like margarita mix or have an overwhelming tequila flavor. My mom and grandma approved of it also. I'm picky so all I got to eat was a cheese quesadilla and rice. My mom and grandma got burritos and tacos, etc. I think they ordered from the combo meal. Our server was tentative until after we got our food and he kind of disappeared. I was brought out the wrong dish but it still looked good and I gladly would have eaten it. When my waiter found out he misheard my order he rushed over and apologized. All in all, the food was great. Sure, not your authentic mexican food but I still greatly enjoyed it! The chips were hot, the salsa was tasty and don't get me started on the marg. We ended up having to walk to the counter and pay because we got tired of waiting. The lady who helped us was very sweet and friendly! I will be back for happy hour :) read more

La Fuente Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

The place is near my apartment. Food over time has been ok, but decent enough during past visits. Tonight I ordered a burrito Jalisco and large house margarita. The marg was heavy on sugar water lime flavoring but very little tequila - awful marg if you like margaritas. I drank 1/2 but should have quit after 1 sip. Asked for ice water along with marg. Not provided. I asked the check out person if the margs were simply premade and poured out. She confirmed such. No more margaritas at La Fuente. The food was average. I ate what was served. The server - who has always been there in my 1/2 dozen visits over 2 years - never came to my table for follow up or provide a check. I went to the counter to check out. I shared my feedback and referenced the poor drink sitting unconsumed. She provided the full check saying she had no way to adjust. I wasn't looking for a comp, but I was looking for consideration! None given. Good Bye to La Fuente. read more

Food was mid, service was mid, ambience was okay. There's an infinite number of Mexican restaurants that are better and cost less. No real reason to go here read more

La Fuente Mexican Restaurant - Pretty cool 3D painting - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

The salsa is fresh and tasty, free chips and salsa with purchase of an entree. My boyfriend got the huevos rancheros they came with rice, beans and fresh flour tortillas. It was really good and fresh. They have Coke Zero wish is always a plus in my book. I got the Pico La Fuente, it comes with freshly grilled shrimp, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños and fresh avocado. I ended up eating it with the fresh tortillas that came with my boyfriends food. It was really good and filling for lunch. They have happy hour specials on pitchers of beer and margaritas. We will Definitely be back! read more

Burrito la Fuente is the best! Get the hot sauce on the side if you don't tolerate spicy food well. The fajitas are great and it's the best queso we've found since our beloved El Maguey closed. Okay - now for the service. It is truly hit and miss. We've had good experiences and then there have been times where we had empty beverages for a ridiculously long time while we were eating. We often joke that we're willing to roll the dice and be ignored because the food is THAT good - but this is definitely an area with room for improvement. read more

My wife and I tried to eat at La Fuente on a Monday evening a couple of weeks ago. We tried to get into Barrigas and El Potro. However, they were packed and the wait was long. So we tried to eat at La Fuente. Big mistake! No one was being served or eating. We only saw one server. I could see people through the window of the door to the kitchen who were clearly jacking around. We turned around and walked out! The restaurant was not inviting either as their lighting was bright white like a hospital cafeteria. No ambiance! read more

Forget the negative reviews of La Fuente, as this restaurant is excellent and always satisfies. They work very hard to make sure your experience is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. Everything on the menu is excellent, including the Margaritas. This is our GOTO mexican restaurant. read more

Was one of my fav Mexican restaurants. The menu is not accurate so ask if you have allergies. I ordered a salad with romaine and it was served with iceberg, big difference. A discount was not offered for the misleading menu item. Extremely disappointed in the menu and lack of customer service to what was a regular customer. read more

Our family's go-to for Mexican in Lees Summit. I especially enjoy their fish tacos. Juicy, flaky fish that tastes fresh every time.

We chose not to wait the 10 min at the place in the same plaza and walked right in here. The service was slow and left a lot to be desired. The food was marginal and margaritas were lots of mix and no alcohol. Next time, we'll wait the 10 min. read more

We just ate at La Fuente worst food and service we've ever had Our waiter was mean. Slammed my plastic water cup so hard on the table the couple across from us even made a face. . Dont go there. The couple in front of us dined and dashed. After trying to pay. Haha read more

So so is the best I can give this place. I went in on a taco Tuesday and order 2 hard tacos and 1 soft taco. Tacos come with meat cheese and lettuce. I personally like more toppings on my tacos. Anything you add is charged as a side. They give free chips and salsa. The salsa could use some flavor. Chips were good. read more

La Fuente Mexican Restaurant - Taco Tuesday special with a side of fajita veggies - Mexican Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

We have gone here for years but the last year it seems the quality has gone significantly downhill while the prices go up. Price does not reflect quality of food at this location. Kids meal did not include the drink like most Mexican restaurants yet the meal is the same price as others. We spent 50 dollars for the 4 of us for very mediocre food where we may go to another and spend between 5 a d 10 dollars less for comparible, much better tasting food. My wife ordered a chicken dish and it was so overcooked that she could hardly cut it with a knife. My kids ordered cheeseburgers and the burgers were extremely overdone and dry. Typically I would not review something negatively for this sort of thing if not consistent. In this case, this has happened multiple times and when we let the restaurant know, they brush it off with a glancing apology and then do nothing to make it better. I would expect at least a kids meal be comped. I have been to competing restaurants where the manager has come over, apologized and comped the whole meal just for one small burger being overcooked. Not the case here. I can also go to a competing restaurant, get better food, get more such as chips salsa and queso and still pay slightly less. La Fuente used to strike me as an authentic Mexican restaurant but their completely americanized competitor blows them away in every aspect. They need to step it back up if they want to stay in business in a competitive market where more restaurants are popping up in the area. My family will not be going back to La Fuente. We will drive a few min further for better Mexican food and better experience as a whole. read more

Had hoped this location would be better than the others we've been to based on word of mouth. It was ok but not my first choice if I was looking for a place to go. I'd meet friends here..nothing bad. Just generic and nothing remarkable. read more

I ordered the Avocado Shrimp Salad. This was my first time going. Salad means lettuce. There was very little lettuce in the salad. It was suppose to be Romaine lettuce and it was cheap iceberg lettuce. Please do better. read more

This is not your average mexican restaurant... unless you're from Cd. de Mexico. Actually, I wouldn't know, I've never been there (Mexico city, that is), but I have a good friend who is, and she explained that if you go to a mexican restaurant, and they have the green salsa, then that is a sign that they might be close to what it's like in Mexico. The next step for me is to try their beans and rice. Beans, pretty good, but I've had better. Rice, very good. Then I try their flan. The flan, well, I've had better, but to credit the wait staff, they didn't recommend this, they recommended the sopapillas mexicanas, which they said was a sopapilla with friend ice cream, and I was so full of my fajitas that I could barely form the image of friend ice cream and sopapilla in my salsa-riddeled brain, so I just went with the flan. I would try the sopapilla next time. Also, they seem to serve flour tortillas with everything, but if you ask for the corn, they are really where it's at. I would definitely go back, and the chorizo and shrimp I had in my fajita were really flavorful, so among the muchisimo different dishes you can choose from, those with chorizo or shrimp are probably good bets. Also, they offer sides of rellanos and tamales, and I would probably give those a shot, too. read more

Very highly recommend this restaurant, it is harder to find authentic Mexican around the area and this is the closest I have gotten. The pollo cancun is insanely delicious. read more

I absolutely HATED La Fuente before visiting the Raintree location. This location has the best service and the best grilled chicken tacos. My boyfriend and I go a few times a month and are always greeted like friends and served quickly. No other La Fuente compares, I've tried! Other locations need to take some tips from the Raintree staff; they're awesome! read more

Below average salsa and extremely boring staff. Huevos rancheros were also not very delicious either. At least the decor was somewhat nice. Tables and chairs are hand carved and personalised. Too bad it doesn't help the food taste any better. . . . read more

Good quick service. Music is corny Mexican, as annoying as mariachi band. Food is good, simple, and quick. read more

Staff is wildly unfriendly. Waitress wrote down our order but came out wrong. Portion sizes are incredibly small for what you pay for.

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants. Good food and very fast! The staff does not speak English as their first language, so if that bothers you, keep driving by. $4 32 oz Dos Equis during happy hour in a frosty mug!! The fajitas for 2 might be my favorite but there is lots to choose from. read more

I used to come to this location & LOVED it!!! The service was so good & quick, it was almost too quick! The last 3 or so times I have been, it has taken around 20 minutes just to get my drink ordered. The food, also takes FOREVER to come out. It seems like the staff is purposely trying to have bad service. If it continues like this much longer, I don't think they will be in business soon. read more

Food was good. I'd like the salsa to have a little more kick. Staff was friendly. Monday nights kids eat eat from the kids menu for $2.50. We'll probably eat there a few times a month. read more

Best steak fajitas in Kansas City (so far). The prices are fair and affordable. Portion sizes are perfect. I usually am able to take home a ton of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. They have a daily specials which is nice. I know my wife enjoys her enchiladas here. I've been to this location at least 7 times... and plan on coming back for more! read more

I have fell in love with their taco salad fresh well portioned the shell is light and crisp. Plus it is filling. There is something for every one. The atmosphere is great and plenty room for the whole family. read more

As a longtime La Fuente enthusiast, it pains me to award one star. The food quality has taken a nosedive over the last year and I'm afraid I won't be returning. I miss you La Fuente of yesteryear. Since my last review, la fuente has gotten it together and I'm happy to report many satisfied visits! read more
