Decent Mexican food with good prices. Guacamole was great! I was expecting my burrito to come with sauce on top based on the description, but it wasn’t as an FYI. Wish that was an option.

I’ve been here at least 10 times now and I had to make a review because it’s been fantastic EVERY ?? SINGLE ??TIME! I order the arroz con pollo and order my boyfriend the ropa vieja! Prices are affordable, drinks are plenty and I never get tired of coming. For drinks we buy the pina colada frozen margaritas! Just do it! The outside is beautiful and the inside is relaxed but still a fun time! And yes, they take Apple Pay.

My family and I absolutely love La Fonda. All their locations have straight consistency! Fast service, friendly staff! The food is very delicious and affordable, don’t hesitate to try this place! The ponce location in particular has a very nice outdoor seating. I will forever come here. 1000/1000 :)

I have been to other locations and had a good experience but this one not so much. Their menu prices have definitely changed so do not go by what’s on Google you have to go to their full website to see accurate pricing. I placed a to go order which came up to $100 because I didn’t know the prices on their Google menu were inaccurate and they had me pay over the phone without telling me the total. The paella was not good it was 90% rice and barely any seafood in it. There was no flavor at all. The queso and salsa are still delicious but after this experience I won’t be ordering from any location.

This location has the worst service and the quality of food is poor compared to the Ponce location. The staff is unfriendly and unhappy. The food was served cold and the chicken was dry! They also don't allow you to order more than one different type of Taco. If you want better service and better quality go to a different location!

Well the food was okay, but tried to bring my pup he was in a bag just minding his business. They said no dogs...we asked to sit on the patio but they said no, and so dogs on the outside...so we did take out...The tacos were not that good I was disappointed, I had fish tacos with barely any fish! Prior to this I had a pork salad from there and it was great. The drinks was so so....We ended up going back to the RED VELVET TACO! They have consistent food and the frozen Margarita is ALWAYS SO SO GOOD! I won't be going back period....

La Fonda Cantina is an old favorite that worked out perfectly to celebrate Daddy's Day! Had been a while since I had visited La Fonda, and the Howell Mill location is always been my favorite as they have several locations. Parking is ample, and so is seating. The outdoor dining area was as vibrant as the inside despite the warmer temperatures. Opted to sit inside and enjoy their AC. My date had never been and was very pleased with the ambience, especially the Latin music and the selection of entrées. The Latin/Cuban meal options were preferred, and I did see some Mexican dishes that were previously in my regular rotation. Today I decided on a salad with grilled salmon. I also ordered tostones - mature plantain - as an appetizer and the 6 or so pieces with the garlic sauce met my starch content cap for the day. I was tempted to get my usual quesadilla with spinach and shrimp over a bed of yellow rice and black beans, but must watch my girlish figure in order to continue on my foodie adventures and still fit in my bathing suit! My date was intrigued by the paella, and the different versions offered. He liked the vegetable one as it included eggplant and other curried vegetables but still wanted the Paella Del Mar for its seafood content. He explained his desire to Anna, who appeared to be a manager and she obliged. His paella came in a small cast iron pan and was accompanied by a side of the vegetables that normally come in the vegetable paella. My salad almost overflowed the plate and had a delicious dressing to complement. A bit too much corn in my opinion, so will definitely asked to modify if possible in the future. The flavors of everything were well seasoned and robust. I ordered the Mojito as my drink and was not pleased with the taste which partially led to the four star rating. It was overpowered by the inclusion of club soda. Mentioned this to Anna and she confirmed that the ingredients had been changed recently and I was able to get another drink in its place without additional charge. I opted for the pomegranate margarita, which was a bit on the sweet side due to the flavor addition. My date had a combination of drinks including espresso coffee, a shot of El Jimador Reposado and a Horchata drink. He combined all three to make a delicious drink, and I was very appreciative of the caffeine boost! We still had leftovers due to the ample portions. Will definitely return, and hope that we can sit outside if temperature permits.
We stopped here before going to Puttshack. This place has been on my list for weeks to try. The food and service were okay. We walked to the cashier and she nonchalantly told us to pick and a spot and someone would come take our order. We sat and after 10 minutes someone came by. We ordered waters and queso for the table, then ordered our food. From their Google rating, I thought my socks would be knocked off. The queso was really good but kinda watery, which was weird lol! My paella was good, but the mussel shell got broken so it was all in my food. It was like chewing sand. Yuck! Not a bad place to grab a cheap bite in Atlanta.

The Mexican food and Cuban sandwiches were delicious. The salsa was terrific. Margaritas were okay- could use some improvement. Friendly staff.

Service was a little lacking, had to wave over waiters a few times to get the check and for other requests. Not very attentive. Food is excellent though, tried the paella and the horchata and reasonable prices.

Food was good, menu selections not what I expected. But the place was pretty crowded during lunch time. I ordered chicken tacos, I wanted one chicken and 1beef, but I had to order 2 of the same as if they were pre made. Anyway the 3 rating, is because me and my co workers stomachs were not favorable after eating there. So probably won't return.

This place is always a hit.. well maybe because I get the same thing every time lol. The salmon burrito and the salmon enchiladas are amazingggg. And their rice and beans are great quality.
