Customer Reviews
Never going to return, Service was horrible. Waiter forgot my drink and when it finally arrived, never came back. Tried to waive down a couple of waiters during my meal, but no result. The tacos were meat with guacamole on top. Charged for a draft beer when I was brought a bottle of beer.
We had dinner at this restaurant. The food with the price was really good for East coast folks like us, our waitress was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is nice. The service is a bit slow but maybe they were understaffed and at that time more people coming in. Overall we happy and hopefully next time we’re in the area, we’ll definitely eat here again.
A local favorite for Mexican cuisine. If you are not familiar with the terminology, ask the kind waitresses and they will be happy to translate the various selections. This is a family run business in its second generation. If you’re lucky, you may be able to meet the owner and learn the amazing history of this restaurant. There’s a full bar in here, slightly segmented away from the restaurant. Excellent food!! We love their special quesadillas, deep fried and full of flavor. You can request any type of meat inside. My only request would be to upgrade their salad lettuce from ice berg to something with nutrition - some spinach would take their salads to another level!
One of the best Mexican food restaurants in town. Being from Hendersonville TN, we don't have food like this. If the owner or siblings would like to move to Hendersonville and open a La Fonda Bar & Grill there, they would make a fortune. I will be back. I'm back!
I've got to say, I don't know that I have ever given a place three stars across the board. I had eaten here months before, and didn't have a strong recollection of it. Perhaps this is why. They were quick to bring out chips and salsa. The salsa was spicy but lacked flavor, and the chips, though seemingly made in-house, were made many, many hours before my arrival. The pork in my chili verde was fork tender, but again, had no real flavor. It was a perfect match for the blah beans and rice. The margarita, on the other hand, was mostly sweet margarita mix. When I asked for the check with food still on my plate, the server didn't even ask if I wanted a to-go container. Perhaps she got the sense that I would have said no. This is why I started writing these reviews many years ago. So I coul
