Located in a quaint neighborhood, it feels like you just got home. I love the outdoor diniing, personally. Ask for one of their many homemade salsas! I had the tomatillo and it was fabulous. I had the cheese stuffed pablano. Queso fresco, nopales, grilled onions, squash, zucchini. Okay, now I'm the one stuffed!

Update - I had previously reviewed La Fonda on Main about a month ago (lunch) but just had dinner there this week. In keeping with one of my flexible rules, I don't award five stars to restaurants based on one experience - I like to have a second meal to validate. So NOW I can give La Fonda five stars, because dinner was as good or better than lunch! So, there is not much more I can add to my previous review, I can just emphasize the fact that it's cool, beautifully decorated - simple and effective - the service is still excellent and the food terrific. Here are our menu selections: appetizers - Diablitos (bacon-wrapped chicken with serrano chili and red salsa) and Huitlacoche Empanadas (blue corn emp with creamed corn filling). Mains - Alambre Mixto (skewered mix grill featuring Wygu steak over creamy rice with chicken), Pollo Milanesa (breaded cutlet papas and veg), Enchiladas Suizas (chicken with verde/creme sauce), and Paella. The apps were rockin. Next time I order those apps and a salad and want to be left alone. All the entrees were excellent, the enchiladas were large and my buddy couldn't finish! The Paella was one of the best our diner had ever experienced. I had the skewered grill which was a nice mix of meat, veg, shrimp and was perfectly cooked. Often, I find that skewered entrees can be dry, but the Chef said "not today my friend." Finally, for the couple who joined us, it was their first experience at La Fonda and they were sold - they are already planning our return for dinner in their beautiful patio area!

Made a last minute reservation on a Sunday mid morning. Service was prompt. The server explained the specials and gave some recommendations. He checked back a few times on us. The restaurant was spacious and appeared to have outdoor seating as well. There are multiple parking lots nearby for free parking. It was busy throughout the several hours we were there so I would recommend a reservation. The food we ordered was an elevated Mexican. It was tasty

La Fonda on Main delivers an outstanding dining experience that transports you to another place. My top pick is their must-try nachos, which are loaded with juicy chicken, chile toreado, fresh pico de gallo, creamy avocado, cilantro, and a generous drizzle of crema Mexicana. Every bite is a perfect mix of flavors and textures. The pineapple spritz is another menu standout. Try this refreshments on their back patio oasis. The patio is filled with banana trees and tropical plants, offering a shady, cool, and relaxing environment with an abundance of tropical vibes. The evening ambiance has beautiful string lights creating a festive or intimate atmosphere. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place always impresses.

La Fonda was highly recommend to me by the locals of San Antonio! They sure did me a favor! This place is a gem on the side of a small street. The door has a really cool iron etched design! I was greeted and seated promptly. They had no indoor seating left, so I gladfully took a table outside. There are fans, which is great! My waitress Jordyn, she was the epitome of amazing customer service! She gave me salsa and chips + queso fundido on the house! The salsa was flavorful with a nice heat kick! The cheese was very smooth and tasty! I ordered the prickly pear spritz as my beverage, and it was both cooling and hydrating with a very unique flavor profile! Now, for my appetizer I ordered the spinach salad. It had crushed almonds and also sliced mandarin pieces! This salad was altogether fresh, delicious, and vibrant! I felt my energy levels elevating upon eating it. Now, onto the main shebang! The lobster and shrimp enchiladas! LAWD TAKE THE WHEEL! Okay, so these were highly recommended by my waitress Jordyn. Two enchiladas stuffed with shrimp, a big ole juicy lobster tail on top! Creamy corn rice, with a douse of chipotle sauce over the enchiladas! These were some very luxury enchiladas I tell you! The flavors were so wholesome, and the texture + the lobster meat and shrimp took this dish up to a whole other universe! Please, do yourself a favor and stop here if you happen to be in San Antonio!

3.8/5 Service here was great and I loved the ambience of this place. We sat on the patio and thankfully because they had fans out it was not hot at all. We got chips and dip--none of the dips were very spicy, but they went well with the chips. The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the tartness was perfect. I ordered the chef special al pastor. The tacos were alright in my opinion--too much pineapple on the pastor and the tacos were not spicy at all. The salad that came with it was super delicious though--not too sweet and not too savory.

Wow! If you go to San Antonio, La Fonda is a must try Mexican restaurant. The ambience is quite charming and the old ancient tree on the patio is symbolic of this rich and old culture. The ambience gives off an 09 vibe and I'm intrigued. The food and drinks were so good. I had the Enchiladas Suizas. The chicken was so tender and the cream sauce brought the whole dish together. We also had the chips and hot sauce. A must try! I had the Flaca Margaritas and the Top shelf.All great fusions and a healthy pour. The service was perfect! We enjoyed Caesar and his thoughtful and helpful personality. Ask for him if you prefer exceptional service. Make sure to make a reservation. It's worth the trip here! We'll be back!

Came here solo on the recommendation of a friend who grew up in the area. The patio vibe is amazing!! I didn't have a reservation and was worried where I might be seated since I was alone, but was given a quiet corner in the furthest back patio section with a small fountain. I came around 6pm on a weekday and there were plenty of people but no wait. I began with a mango margarita and people watched as others filled my section. The chips & salsa were fantastic (make sure to ask for the unlimited refills) - the salsa is made with raw tomatoes and has the texture of bruschetta, very unique with a little kick. For dinner I ordered the camote (sweet potato) enchiladas - these were to die for!! Sweet potatoes & nopales inside, queso fresco & sweet potato shoestrings on top. The texture and flavor was outstanding. There were several other vegetarian options available and you probably can't go wrong. The service was also very friendly and prompt -- I see what all the other reviews were raving about! If you sit outside, do be prepared for the mosquitos to arrive a little before sunset. I got a couple bites in my last 20 mins.

I can't believe I didn't save room for dessert! I definitely need to go back one day and just order dessert and some coffee. We had a big party of 8, and unfortunately I can't remember which dish went with what picture. Therefore my apologies for not writing a description for all of the pictures. Everyone enjoyed their meals and said it tasted great. The service was great and our server check up on our group often and answered our questions and made suggestions. We sat in the terrace and the ambiance was nice, but it was so humid today. Luckily the Aguas Frescas helped with the thirst. This one was pineapple and toasted coconuts; it was so good! Now, with a large party the whole check was together and there is no way to split it, so you definitely need to take that into consideration if you are bringing a big party.
