La Fonda Latino Grill — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

I will admit we did not know what to expect when we arrived here for the first time. Inside is very clean and nothing fancy. But the food is amazing. We started off with wings that were fresh and crucnchy, not too much batter and with the sauce on the side. These were some of the best wings we have had.

Can't recommend this spot. They need to find where they stored their spice rack before I'd even think about ordering from there again. Save your money and find somewhere that actually remembers how to season their...

I moved into the neighborhood 2.5 years ago, and I've had this place on my list of local joints to try. Finally got around to it tonight, and it may be a long while before an encore.

My biggest complaint is with the fish soup. For a $6 small, I got broth with a small corn cob, a single large carrot slice, two chunks of potato and lots of fish bones/scales. What little meat was present tasted good, but we live on an island and filets shouldn't be hard to find.

The Bandeja con pernil was ok, even if the pork was extremely fatty.

Honestly, I'll probably try them once more in the future, and order something simpler and much safer. I'm disappointed as I was hoping it could be a staple in my...
