"This restaurant was very unassuming from the outside - the party I was with almost didn’t go in. I’m SO glad we did, because all of the food was flavourful, perfectly spiced, and were served in hearty portions. As someone with a gluten intolerance, I was able to safely eat the majority of the menu. I ordered chicken as a main, and was given fresh corn tortillas to accompany the dish. My thoughts about the flavour can be seen by the POLISHED OFF plate. I couldn’t get enough of that sauce! The sparkling water I got was also presented beautifully, and the salt was an excellent touch! I found the service very friendly. My only complaint would be the interior is not very inspiring, but that didn’t bother me once I tried the food. Overall, very yummy!"

"Food – Flavor! I had the Chile Relleno and my husband had the Green Chilaquiles and WOW! Everything was seasoned to perfection. The rice and beans were cooked just right, and every bite was packed with flavor. The cheese pull oooofff!!! The platanos were cooked to perfection. Coffee – We tried the Mexican Coffee, and you could honestly taste the love in every sip. So good! Service – The service was amazing. Our server was so kind and attentive she felt like family! As soon as we walked in, she made sure we had a clean, dry table before seating us. Little things like that really stand out. Drinks – Even the infused water was tasty and refreshing. Overall, everything from the food to the service was a 10/10. Can’t wait to come back! 🌮❤️"

"This unassuming place has the most friendly staff and the yummiest food. It’s a very welcoming environment, no frills, fair prices, and everything is delicious! We loved the bean dip they start you with, the guacamole was really fresh, and the enchilada verde packed a kick! The cucumber and lemon water are also nice touches, can’t wait to be back"

"We have eaten here quite a few times. Luckily, it's usually not too busy in the late evening, otherwisewe would have taken it to go. Food is always great. The chips and salsa and bean dip are always nice to start off our visit and meal. I also appreciated that they turned down the music so it would not hurt or aggravate my ear injury. Staff is always kind and welcoming. Give this place a try next time you are in the mood for Mexican food."

"We had just gotten off the cruise ship and checked into our hotel before lunch, so we googled a restaurant near us. The reviews for La Fonda were spot on. We were seated right away in a cozy, clean, simply decorated establishment. The menu offers much to choose from, food and drinks. The self serve cucumber water is a refreshing touch. Our waiter was attentive and the service was efficient. The chips, salsa and bean dip are house made. Such a great way to start the meal. I wanted to order more but wanted to have room for my burrito. My husband and I split the al pastor wet burrito. On a whim, I ordered the guacamole and am so glad I did. The fresh ingredients added that extra something to the burrito. Out of many Mexican restaurants to choose from near LAX, La Fonda would be my go to if we lived here. Excellent food and service."
