Reviews for La Fonda On Main in San Antonio, TX
Caleb was the waiter. He did a great job because he was attentive, quicker than other places I have been to and explained the... menu very well! The food was well made and flavorful with a very spicy re jalapeño. The salad on the side was sweet andpersonally it wasn't to my liking. Their rice and beans are very good. Also, their tortillas look handmade and taste amazing! Iwould recommend! Read more

The food itself was memorable and enjoyable. Some great flavors andvarieties of dishes. If we're ever in town again, I'd return Read more
La Fonda on Main is an amazing piece of San Antonio history. It’s boasts being the oldest Mexican restaurant in San Antonio... opening in 1932. The main reason my wife and I love this place is the atmosphere. It has an old hacienda charm and whether yousit outside on the patio under the huge Live Oak tree or dine inside it truly is a wonderful experience. This place is great forspecial occasions like an anniversary dinner or Birthday. They can also accommodate large parties in their back room. Thecuisine is mostly interior Mexican but they have some Tex Mex selections as well. They waitstaff are all well dressed in theirstarched black shirts and are very attentive and accommodating. The service is some of the best in town. They have a bar waitingarea up front and the cocktails are excellent. If you are a visiting San Antonio or are a local you can’t go wrong visiting LaFonda. Reservations are recommended as they can get crowded due to their popularity. Read more
My sister and I were travelling from London all around Texas. When we arrived to San Antonio, everywhere we looked recommended... this restaurant so we had to give it a go. If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would. It was authentic, cozy andthe food was incredibly delicious. We sat outside on the patio with the lights handing from the tree and it felt like a movie.The staff and incredibly kind, hardworking, friendly and accommodating. It was really the highlight of my trip! Counting thedays until we go back. Read more
The food was exceptional, except for the beans, which were dry and hard. The fajitas, both beef and chicken were tender and... tasteful. The service could be better, more efficient, friendlier, respectful, and with less attitude. The waiter questionednumber of tortillas and salsa. Really? Just bring what is requested. The major faux pas is that this establishment does nottake American Express "because of the fee." Since my corporate expenses are on American Express that was a total turn off. Thereare also strange limits on the number of persons to divide the bill. Best part of the evening was the cake, but found out thatone of our guests bought it at HEB. The cake was delicious and perfect! Read more
Absolutely wonderful experience! You can get dishes here that you most certainly will not be able to order at a local Mexican... restaurant with standard "American style" Mexican fare the service was magnificent. The food is extremely flavorful and theambiance of the patio area is something to definitely be experienced. I have included a picture of all the food we ordered enjoyand I hope to return soon! By the way, ask for Gabby to be your host if she is there on your visit! Read more
My husband found this place and we have fallen in love! We felt confident the minute we walked in and saw a bunch of locals. The... food is fresh, staff friendly, outdoor seating beautiful in comfortable December weather. We literally could eat everything onthe menu. It definitely could be one of our favorite spots in all of TX! Read more
Dining at La Fonda was one of the highlights of my business stay in San Antonio. The restaurant is large and we were lucky eat... in their outdoor space, seated under a beautifully decorated tree. The atmosphere I lovey, festive, reminiscent of a large housewhere family come together to Enjoy something special. We were greeted and helped by Miguel, one of the happiest and nicestwaiters I have ever encountered. He made us feel welcome and really helped us out building up our menu and drinks for the night,pointing out a series of off-menu dishes. The food was fantastic, although portions seemed huge for my European standard. Eventhen, we got a doggy bag to bring home and food was just as exquisite the day after. Kudos to the wonderfully crafted drinks aswell. It was not a cheap dinner but well-worth it! Looking forward to another visit next year! Read more
