“ Right on the Malecon overlooking the Pacific serving very good food. Went with friends for breakfast. They have some unusual items for breakfast, maybe not for Mexicans but us Americans. Really enjoyed it. ”

The service is top-notch, with attentive staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. But the real highlight?

If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with amazing views and delicious food, La Fonda is the place to be! Highly recommend! Sidebar: the margarita's are HUGE and have a ton of alcohol in them lol. ”
“ The food was okay- not great, but definitely a good value. Margaritas were really good too. The view is Perfect for people watching and enjoying the ocean view. I ordered the chicken fajitas but probably will try something else next time. The service was good and no problem with the language barrier. ”
“ I love lafondas. It’s around the corner from my dad’s house- The food is always good. More of a local spot- I LOVE their margaritas and “ocean snacks”. Best spot for a sunset meal or drink. Servers are always so nice too. ”
“ I loved their breakfast! The prices are very good, very economical. I recommend the chilaquiles verdes, and the chocolate milk is to die for! What I didn’t like was the enchiladas suizas. I felt like they put them in the microwave, because the plate was piping hot. ”
