La Fonda On Main

La Fonda is a San Antonio staple and rightfully so. Their food and margaritas are excellent and so is their friendly service. The food we had was delicious. I had the La Fonda plate with enchiladas, a taco and a tamale and I couldn’t even finish it, which has never happened to me. So much food and it’s all excellent! We had to ask to recook our child’s food but that wasn’t a problem and they were very nice about it.

Overall we were very satisfied with our meal and would definitely recommend this place to family or friends.

Great food at a very reasonable price. It's probably the Smoothest Margarita I have ever had made from scratch. Was cool indoors, but out back in the courtyard is where it's at. I highly recommend it on a nice night to eat outside in the courtyard. Place gets busy, so make sure to make reservations! They do have a bar up front to serve those waiting on tables.

This is a real gem! Wow, was the food good! I had beef tacos and a wonderful spinach salad. The dressing and the mangos added a lovely sweetness that was just delicious. The handmade corn tortillas were so much better than I've had anywhere else. The tacos had so much flavor. Dessert was the added bonus, delectable chocolate roll, raspberry sauce, pistachios..OH MY!

This was the first time we went there. It was pretty full. Had made reservations for 7:30 and sat outside. The food was great, but the tortillas were hard. I would consider the price of the drinks high. I am used to having a Margarita in a Margarita glass, not a small glass. 😋 It was excellent, though.

Being that we live in Manor, TX and were there for the day to hit the zoo.....I would Not hesitate just to make the drive for lunch. This place was amazing! Exactly what every restaurant should strive to be. The service was perfect and the food was simply outstanding. We are currently planning a trip this next month for an event in SA, but will definitely be stopping for lunch.

There are plenty of wonderful options to choose from for even picky eaters. Vegans and others will both find delectable items on the menu. Portions are generous, and be sure to ask about seasonal items available, and you won't be disappointed 😉 lovely non-alcoholic options are available and gorgeously crafted alongside a wide variety of cocktails and wine. I particularly enjoyed the sweet potato enchiladas.

The food here is incredibly delicious. I loved it so much I came back as our last stop out of town. I’ve never eaten at the same place twice on a trip. I got the peach sangria, La Fonda Special, and a side of the esquite potatoes. The food looks simple the but the flavor will be missed! I don’t have anything like this at home. An incredible experience and I couldn’t recommend more!

La Fonda on Main is a classic, must-visit restaurant located in the beautiful Monte Vista neighborhood. Indoor seating is nice, but where they really shine is their gorgeous outdoor patio! It's nestled within the walls of the restaurant and surrounded by trees, so you get all the good feels of being on a patio while also feeling secluded. We went during happy hour (which is Monday-Thursday 3pm-6pm) and ordered their Prickly Pear Margaritas - soo good! We also started with their Salsas de la Casa which is chips and 3 of their house made salsas. Highly recommend ordering this if you like chips and salsa in general because they are all uniquely tasty and different! We also shared an order of mixed fajita nachos that were stacked - the best kind of nacho in my opinion! My husband ordered the Camote Enchiladas, which were super yummy and looked more like flautas than enchiladas. I ordered a cup of the Chef's soup of the day which was a brisket & veggie guajillo soup that was SO DIVINE I could not get over how flavorful it was! Our waiter was Mitch, who provided excellent service. offered great recommendations and was very attentive to our table. Definitely will be back!

We went here together with friends for a nice dinner while we were in town. Great food that is way more imaginative than tacos and burritos. Portions are “art sized” though no one left hungry. Atmosphere is amazing especially if you can snag an outdoor table. Our group was too large for outdoor dining, they can only take up to 7 outside. I’d say to call for reservations ahead of time.

Omg, beautiful outside dining experience under a huge tree, impeccable service, great Paloma’s and a date nite with my honey all made this a must go to restaurant in San Antonio!
Reservations are a must, sit outside under a huge 100 year old oak tree
Order whatever the special is and you can’t go wrong!

My first visit to La Fonda in general, but this location is nestled in a historic part of San Antonio. Our server knew the menu from top to bottom and was so helpful. The food exceeded expectations and made our birthday celebration very memorable. So good!

The oldest Mexican restaurant in San Antonio since 1932, tucked in a quiet neighborhood.
The home-feel ambiance, the hearty❤ made food & the hospitable service were all just perfect 👌🏻

I love La Fonda. There’s just a level of professionalism each time I come here. Never disappoints.

The cucumber jalapeño is my favorite drink. The arrachera steak is phenomenal! I prefer the dinner one versus the brunch arrachera. Just because the serving is much more sustainable than the brunch one.

I recommend making reservations! Overall great experience and one of my favorite places.

They offer a charming patio dining experience with attentive service and delicious Mexican food. The guacamole was made just right, and the mole enchiladas were the perfect balance of sweet and savory. My husband’s fajitas had a smoky flavor and came in generous portions. The sweet tea with strawberry lemonade was refreshing, and the tres leches dessert was a pleasant treat.

While our overall experience at La Fonda was great, I must note that the journey there wasn't as enjoyable. Due to the closure of the main exit coming from 35 N., our GPS took us on a slightly challenging route. However, we managed to navigate through it, with a bit of inconvenience. So just take precautions. This minor hiccup didn't overshadow the positive aspects of our visit. It ended up being close to St. Mary’s strip. I would definitely recommend their food.

Amazing atmosphere, top-notch drinks (try their featured margaritas), the food was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. We went during Brunch (desalmuerzo) and I had the barbacoa quesadilla (check out the photo), and my wife had the Chef’s chilaquiles which were chilamigas, basically migas and chilaquiles in one.

The food was so great and delicious. There was ample indoor and outdoor seating options. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the restaurant as well as across the street. We parked across the street and walked over, very easy!

I would highly recommend La Fonda on Main, especially early on the weekend during Brunch.

This is consistently one of the highest rated Mexican restaurants in San antonio. It's a beautiful space with a wonderful menu, and excellent cocktails. I had the enchilada and chalupa dinner, a traditional frozen margarita, and we had queso. Our only complaint is that we had to wait in the entrance for about 15 minutes despite having a reservation. Everything was delicious, and it was a perfect night to sit on the patio.

This place is upscale. Attached are some pictures of the meals. The service is great and the bean and cheese nachos is something that is out of this world. Their lemonade is tasty and they have good vibes spreading all around. Great place to go to if you are at a date night!😊

It was our first time here and we were a party of two. There was a lot of people and wait time for decent and we decided to be seated on the outside patio since the weather was nice. The food is very tasty and service on point. Decoration is Mexican and well selected. After our meal we had a little tour for the rest of the restaurant and the inside patio has the wow factor; no wonder there’s a wait list. Definitely coming back. Well done!

This is a cute place if you’re in the mood for an upscale Mexican restaurant. Great for special occasions or for visitors. I’ve tried a few of their dishes, and they’re all delicious. I’d recommend the brunch arrachera or their mole xiqueño enchiladas.

Enjoyed it so much that I had to go here twice on my trip to San Antonio. Great food, very friendly wait staff, and very nice ambience. Also, I never imagined seeing a fruit cup in a buñuelo! Points for creativity there.
