La Fonda: A Vibrant Mexican Dining Experience with Live Mariachi Music

AMAZING experience!!! We took our parents here for their birthdays and the music was beautiful! Everything was perfect - food, decor, music, environment (I wish I could post videos here lol)

First time visit. A great place to visit if you love Mariachi music and great food. The servers were all very nice and not too pushy. The entertainers, in our case Los Camperos, were great and one of the most famous members of the group came over to our table and asked us if we enjoyed the show and thanked us for coming. Street parking is metered and a challenge, but there is a public lot behind the restaurant that charges flat fee of $8.00, well worth it as the restaurant is not in the best of areas.

The food and service were exceptional , the staff was great and more than friendly , they were very accommodating , Went today to celebrate my anniversary . Love the public announcement of our celebration. I definitely recommend La Fonda if you love live mariachi and great Mexican food.

Great place to hear awesome mariachi music. Sound systems sounds great without being to loud. I would recommend this place for birthdays and celebrations. I plan to go again. Very soon to hear the mariachi music. I think this mariachi was even better tha. The Hollywood bowl mariachi festival.

Fast customer service. Delicious food. Great environment and mariachi show.

The food was good, but really pricey. The price of the dish covers the price of the food plus that of the mariachi show. So this place is only worth it if you love mariachi shows. The check for 3 people came out to $120. Each dish was $32-35; there were no options for anything cheaper. The food was okay. The ambiance is fun. The place is dim.

Went to La Fonda last night to celebrate birthdays. I made a reservation and we were seated close to the stage. Although the service was a little slow, it was understandable because it was busy. Our waiter was very nice. They announced all the names of those celebrating birthdays, gave them sombrero to wear for a photo and serenaded them. While the opening band was excellent, they then were followed by a duo who were complete buffoons. They could not sing, their lyrics were ridiculous, and many people left while they were "performing." I am not usually one to complain but since we were charged $5 per person for the show, it was unacceptable. The mariachi finally performed and they were amazing. It was a fun experience and despite the mishap with the entertainment, I would definitely recommend going.

Great fun and good food. 8 piece Mariachi orchestra really gets the place jumping. They remodeled everything including bathrooms which are spotless. Good, pleasant fast service always ready to get you another drink. Overall a fun party night.
