La Fuente Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

well, it's new management as of a few months. I'm surprised at the crickets about it here. I came back from vacation to step into The Twilight Zone. everything looked familiar as I've known it for 20 years, the same excellent family staff ..but something has changed. then I knew what it was.. economizing, like the place has been touched by corporate. chips and salsa now come from a bag and plastic pitcher ..and are no longer complimentary (you get some with a dish though). edible, but a turn for the worse. prices are up, no surprise there. there's an ok bar menu now and the old menu is still there. the old menu is soon to be "revised." this does not bode well by what I've seen. only time will tell.

This restaurant definitely stays true to its five stars. Stopped in here after I did a job in South Pasadena picked up a combination carnitas and asada burrito with beans and cheese inside completely delicious! The carnitas were crispy oh my God just the way I love them you can tell it was very fresh. Another thing I wanted to mention you can always tell a good Mexican restaurant by the chips they serve. You know those light thin flaky tortilla chips that you know are absolutely fresh. So delicious some Mexican restaurants have those really thick heavy tortilla chips they give you theyre cold taste like oil this place has got the goods for sure thank you again I'll definitely be back when I'm...
