La Fonda Méxican Restaurant — Restaurant in Reno

The place has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and relaxing music. We start off our meal with chorizo and nachos as a appetizer and I found any worries washed away with just how delectable it is. The Chorizo is cheesy and fresh showing just how deliciously l homemade it is. The nachos are a near perfect treat.the beef is super soft as other reviewers have said which texture actually works well with the mild nachos , well if it wasn't for the Nacos chips ending up soggy themselves but that is the breaks with Nachos to my experience. Reports about the refried beans tasting "Funny" are not completely baseless as the refried beans are made a little different which I suspect has to do with the choice of cheese in it. This doesn't make it bad by any means. I myself feel indifferent by this new flavor while my mother quite enjoys it. For the main course I ordered a Burrito Ranchro. Now I'm not sure how but it functions like a stew wrapped in a tortilla. I was Surprised to bite into a burrito that looked so well preserved and dry on the outside only for the inside to be filled with so much meat and beans soaked in there own juicy broth with more of that cheese used in the refried beans and other garnishes like spices used to prefect that kick that makes food send those pleasure signals to your brain. I came in here afraid of not knowing if I would like what I got but I was Pleasantly disappointed and look forward to my sheltered taste buds being proved wrong time and time again from this place. The Tacos meat instead of being melted like the rest of the meat was grilled to a chewy yet firm delight me and mother could wish for nothing more from other then for it to also be...

Great mexican food place that's a bit of a hidden gem. My wife and I had driven past this place several times as we visit the nearby carniceria pretty regularly, and we finally decided to give it a try a couple days ago. The restaurant is tucked in the corner of this old shopping center but the inside felt very large with vaulted ceilings and spacious booths.

The food here was great! They start you out with some salted tortilla chips and three types of salsa: a mild pico, a spicy verde, and a bean dip. I ordered the Molcajete Azteca which was served in a big, hot mortar filled with pollo, carne asada, chorizo, queso fresco, jalapeno, and nopales. The flavors were great, and the servings were very generous. My wife and younger cousin got a burrito mojado which ended up being about 3 times the size we were expecting, so they barely made it about a quarter way through before deciding to take the rest home. With our younger cousin with us the total only came out to $40 with no drinks and appetizers, which is pretty fair for the amount of food we were given. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for wholesome mexican food at...

I dislike making bad reviews because you never know if they had a bad day or whatever but when the food gives you and your kids a stomach ache because the food was bad, there is no way not to warn others. My mom told our server that that salsa was bad from the get go. The answer we got was that since we are in America that Americans don't like spicy salsa. That may be true but I think that if you go to a Mexican restaurant that you go knowing that it may be spicy. Either way it does not negate the fact that it just was not good, no flavor. We ordered the parrilla which had both land and sea. Well the chicken tasted like fish. The rice was so dry and the beans tasted weird. Then to top it off the salsa we got seemed to me Tapatio in a bowl just warmed up! Just very...
