This place has a great following on the Virtual Railfan so decided it was time to try it. When I arrived there were two cars in the parking lot and no one inside other than the staff. Normally this would be a big warning sign and I was pretty hungry. So I thought, "No waiting, at least." This was at the beginning of the pandemic and the number of cases in central Missouri was very low. I was seated immediately and brought the usual complementary salsa and chips. The chips were hot and fresh and the salsa was delicious. The menu is large with a lot of options. I picked the Fajitas al Pastor. The description sounded good and it came with rice and beans. Rice and beans are a requirement for a big plate of Tex-Mex. It was all fabulous. Will be back next time I am in town.

Our waiter was very professional and friendly, and our food was delivered within minutes of ordering. Every one of our meals were delicious, and the servings were BIG! Prices seemed lower than typical Mexican restaurants too. Also, our drinks and chips were never empty. As we walked out, the bus boys looked up and wished us a good evening. If I could have given this place 6 stars, I would have!

Loved the decor with pictures of the owner's childhood home in Mexico. Adds to the ambiance! We had the beef taco salad that was very filling. The shell bowl was light and crisp, filled with plenty of meat, lettuce, tomatoes & cheese, topped with sour cream and delicious guacamole. My favorite part of any Mexican restaurant is the chips & salsa - just enough spice for good flavor and light, crispy chips. Very pleasantly surprised!

Every meal I have had I have enjoyed. The service is great, they treat you like family. They get you refills, ask you how the food is, and are super kind to everyone. They ask if you need more chips when needed. They are great with kids as well. The ambiance is great, good seating, and very very clean, never smells or looks bad. This is easily the best Mexican place in town to eat at. If you want good service and good food, eat at la fuente.

Well, let me tell you... this fusion inspired dish has reopened my heart and mind to pasta!! So this dish is so simplistic in nature- yet complex in delivery and flavor! The shrimp was perfectly seasoned and seared/ yet remained tender. The pasta was tossed in a cream sauce that actually is a light queso cheese sauce. Then it had just the right amount of zucchini and onion perfectly sautéed to compliment- not overly dominate- this delightful and satisfying dish!! If I weren't so hell bent on trying new menu items each visit- I would order this again in a heartbeat.. and swallow my pride about my usual mundane views on pasta. Now- how does restaurant compare to the other " near by and local" Mexican restaurant ( Los Grisoles)? Well let me tell you. The staff and owners are so friendly and attentive- they treat me like family even with me being the outsider from out of town I am! The food is displayed on the plates- not just "slapped on the plates." The bar does the trick and creates "just the right kind of feel good feeling" after chugging the 32 oz margarita!! The decor and ambiance places it far beyond what one would expect in a small farm town. Compared to " the other Mexican place.." it's like comparing a Sonic Cheeseburger to a steak or burger at Texas Roadhouse. Get the drift?! Try this gem.. try it often like I do! Grow the balls to try a new dish each time like I do!! You won't be disappointed! Hmmmm... already thinking about what I will be trying when I come up to camp next week!!
