Delicious food, service was a little slow. And the outside seating was not like it used to be, a little disappointed. When I sit outside, I want the natural ambiance, not a plastic cover.

The food is awful except for salsa and the queso. Margaritas are good. Bartenders are great. I sit at the bar..,

Ive gone here twice in the last couple weeks and both times were absolutely awesome! The food was amazing, we had the best waitresses both times! We went as a pretty big group, 7 people the first and 9 the second time and both times our waitresses handled everything seamlessly! The second time we sat outside and that was lovely. We will absolutely be going here again and suggesting it to a friend!Wheelchair accessibility: While everything is kinda old, I was able to get through everything just fine in my wheelchair!

Giving food one star because we are used to so much flavor and found it sort of bland. We left our airbnb (@red rock) at exactly 6:15 and paid for our food at exactly 7:22. It just seemed already prepared. We are used to authentic sauces etc… made from scratch. Atmosphere, location, and service were fine.

Great food at Great price. Down by the running creek which is very peaceful. Outdoor seating so you can look out over creek. With lots of indoor seating for groups or couples. Staff is very friendly and very fast with their services.Kid-friendliness: Yes very friendly for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Skip it. People who know good Mexican Food and decent service will be disappointed. Service was very poor (we had the bartender running out to our table from the back despite THREE waitresses chatting together at the register). We had to get refills from the hostess as we rarely saw the “bartender.” Food came out cold from waiting on the bartender to wait tables and serve alcohol at the same time. Overall very disappointing and quite evident not concerned about customer satisfaction. Just the bar regulars and going home. Caveat Emptor.

"La Fonda's," as I jokingly label it, is the prototypical two-three star joint. Serviceable fuel for humans, but nothing special here. Mostly bland elevated prison food, it's a disservice to its location and authenticity itself, though the service is well intentioned. Best thing on the plate is the slaw. Everything- the rice, the steak, the sauces- is doused with wheat flour, so for those increasing numbers sensitive to gluten, your single option remains a plate of tacky, dry, unseasoned carnitas. My advice would be to keep driving, or have several margaritas if they're any good....Kid-friendliness: They serve children.
