La Fonda in Longwood

This is the best Mexican food around. The customer service is excellent. You will feel like family as soon as you walk into the restaurant. The owner is always here making sure everyone is taken care of. He is amazing!!!!!! And the staff is always going over and beyond to make you happy. I love this place! ❤️

La Fonda is an authentic Mexican joint that you will want to visit again. Their nachos are so fresh and crisp and the food is really delicious. I loved the ambience and the food presentation as well. Don't forget to try their Sangria and keep your ears hooked to the music that's being played in the background. Everything comes together to give you a memorable experience.

The food here is nothing short of amazing. Tuesday is $1 taco day, and they are the best tacos I have ever had.

The Arizona fajitas for two was a large and delicious platter of chicken, steak & shrimp, seasoned just right. Love the option of corn or flour tortillas. The service was good and the owner went above & beyond to make us feel welcome and genuinely happy that we came to his restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant! Live music too (at least on Friday night), which was wonderful & made for a great atmosphere.

Authentic and quick service. A little pricey, but portions make it worth it.

A nice place overall, and good for a quick bite. A very plain restaurant with little to no aesthetic appeal. Perfect for a fast lunch bite, but not general or intimate dining.The food was fair, not extraordinary. The dollar tacos were worth a dollar, but certainly nothing more. The beef and chicken in the dishes were slightly seasoned, but flavorless overall. The refried beans were right from a can and under-seasoned. Sides and toppings were sparse, and available by request only. The pricing is a bit higher than I would pay for the quality of food. The alcohol pricing is on par with other venues, but without the typical drink specials.All-in-all, La Fonda is a fair joint, and worth the visit in a pinch. But in the area, and this plaza specifically, there are far better food options. For Mexican dishes, a ten minute drive will serve you much better

Sangria was great! Along with good tacos.

Awesome staff and great food. Definitely get some of the more unusual dishes!

Everything we the was great, and the take out was hot and fresh. Classic flavors exactly as expected. Next time, we will ask for medium, as it was all very mild, but we will certainly be ordering from here again.

One of the best places in longwood for authentic Mexican food!

Food is decent and affordable, but you better be prepared to waaaaaiiiiittttt. Don't go here on a first date unless you have a lot to talk about and are not really hungry. Other than spending the night there waiting on your food it is ok. Me personally I don't mind waiting for 20-30 minutes if it's busy and the food is good, but not 40-45 minutes when the place is not busy, like at all.

UPDATE: The manager has reached out to me and was very kind. He gave me a full refund and explained why things went wrong and will be making sure it does not happen to any other guests.I’m not a picky person but what a disappointing experience. If you’re looking for good chicken burritos, I don’t recommend this place. Chicken tasted rubbery and like it had freezer burn. I hope I don’t get sick. My friend got a shrimp burrito and the tails were not even taken off of the shrimp. She had to pick the burrito apart to take off the shrimp tails. We ended up throwing it all away. $40 down the drain. Btw, we didn’t even get greeted when we walked in. We walked up to the counter and 2 women stared at us awkwardly until I had to break the silence and tell them we were there to pick up our order.

Food is exceptionally tasty. The portions are generously satisfying. Prices and staff are excellent as well. They are so accommodating and respectful. I love it here, especially Saturday nights’ for Latin music.

We have been here a few times and they never fail to impress me and my wife. We have tried a few different dishes that they offer and they all have been authentic tasting and flavorful. The free homeade chips and salsa are great too. This place reminds us of another authentic restaurant in Washington state called El Sarappe. If you like authentic Mexican food then this place is a must to visit.

Great place, friendly staff and the owner works like any other employee. Thanks Jaine for the good time. Good food and music.

It was a good lunch and it was quick. I will definitely be going back when I'm in the area.

I know tacos get cold quickly. I am well aware. But after spending almost $100 on tacos, I would hope that they would at least wrap them in aluminum foil so that they would at least be warm. I got to the establishment minutes before they were ready. Paid, and left as soon as they brought them out. When we got home, 10min later, they could not be colder.. the tacos themselves had good flavor and the salsa was good. But it’s very disappointing eating cold tacos with a hard tortilla. I’ve bought tacos to-go before that have been wrapped in aluminum foil and at least are warm when getting home, so I know it can be done. Hope they pick up this suggestion.

It was way too cold in the place when we walked in. Asked to have the air conditioning turned off, which they readily did for us. Asked for coffee, chips & salsa while we looked over the menu. The salsa was water thin. Tried 2 other salsas, none were great. We asked if the coffee was fresh, and were assured it was. First cup was lukewarm and tasted old. Second was scaling hot. Although we kept being assured it was fresh, it seemed and tasted old & microwaved. Our server couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating, so the problems weren't her fault. Wife ordered a taco salad; said she had a better one from Steak & Shake. I ordered fish tacos, which weren't bad. I wouldn't mind giving it another try before writing it off totally. We may have just picked the wrong day & time? Seems like a local, non-chain restaurant trying to make a go of it.

We went to dinner with friends Friday evening. Really enjoyed the Arizona Fajitas for two. Very tasty mixture of chicken, steak and shrimp! The service was good and the owner was very attentive. They also had live music (Friday) which made for very enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely return!

I love this place. First, the service! From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile and feel very welcomed. If Aniuska is working try to get her! For the food, my go to is the fajitas. Chicken or beef, just recently they changed the marinade on the chicken and it is Amazing. Keeps the chicken super tender and juicy. I don't normally like refried beans, here I eat them up, they are creamy and light. Last but not least, leave room for dessert, their fried ice cream is the best I've had. My go to place for Mexican!

Every time I order I get the tortilla soup because I love that it's a little spicy and always has Chile pepper. I live really far and come to pick up because it's one of my comfort foods. I am extremely disappointed because all I got was chicken soup with nothing but chicken and rice with the crispy strips on the side. It's just salty like the chicken soup that I have also ordered before. I live way too far to go back and have been in the hospital for almost a week and this was my only pick me up I had time for so you ruined the only good part of my day.

First time going there a couple weeks ago and it got extremely busy yet I received wonderful service. I am definitely going back. The food was tasty too.It’s a small place but looks huge in the inside and pretty decorations and set up.Nice and clean environment.The staff was very sweet. Glad I went and would recommend to everyone.

I have been searching and searching for a good authentic Mexican restaurant for over 5+ years ... saw this place driving by and had to try it out and let me tell you, this is the BEST authentic restaurant around!!! The entire staff is so nice and polite and the food, OMG is Absolutely AMAZING!! The flavors can not be any better!!! You must try this place out if you want real flavor food!! The margaritas are on point and the chips and salsa is the best I have had in all of Florida!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

Clean, sanitized, social distance measures are observed. We ordered Molcajete for 2, and it was excellent, just a little salty chorizo. My friend ordered an orchata drink but he being a Mexican said is not homemade drink rather an instant mixer bought in little bags. Service was excellent. Overall I would recommend it.

We decided to make this a stop on our Quest for the Best: Chips and Salsa and though the chips were decent, the salsa was a little bland. Not terrible, but we've definitely had better elsewhere.Our meals were very fresh and tasty, portion sizes were good, but just a little overpriced for Mexican food.Overall, not a bad experience, but probably wouldn't make it a regular place to go.

The service was good, good tasting food, quiet, over all a pretty good experience. Clean and organized building, not an over use of decor but enough is used to set the theme and mood of a Mexican restaurant.

Was a great new find for our family. Food was really good and the staff were very pleasant too. Add Live music on top. What more can you ask for? Will definitely visit again.

This restaurant definitely has a cosy feel to when you walk into it.Excellent , authentic food! Staff is pleasant and attentive. Complementary chips and salsa were great. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing coming from California I like Real Mexican food. This is the place to go. Come enjoy all the Mexican tradition foods and drinks.Customer service is a plus for me, they greets you well. My son and I had take out and they did mess up my food but no problem they apologized and delivered my food just the way I like it. That is called amazing customer service. That has never happened to us before. Thank you so much and we will be seeing you again......

Carla gave amazing attention, the food was prepared fast and with love, one of the most interesting things is the complimentary chips and salsa they give. Also just fascinated by the environment, it’s a welcoming and salsa themed environment.Muy rica la comida y a muy buen precio gracias carla por tu buena atención.

Love the Authentic Latin food. Their empanadas are the best! Large variety and great prices. Fast delivery.

Great tacos al pastor. The bean and cheese dip is to die for.
