Absolutely horrible experience. The waitstaff was rude and inattentive. They brought us our orders and one of the dishes literally had styrofoam in it. I had to leave my table and track our server at the host stand in order to tell her that our food had styrofoam in it. Because she never checked in on us the entire time we were there after we got our meals. She came to the table and saw the styrofoam in the beans and said oh it looks like a little box got into it. And I said oh and you don’t see a problem with that? Like it was no big deal. Then we asked her for the check and she never brought it to us. When we were the last people in the restaurant. She instead started to pull out cleaning supplies right in front of us. Even though we requested the check. I had to get up and tell her we asked for our check and you ignored us and pulled out cleaning supplies. I asked to speak to the man who originally sat us (the owner) and she said he had left. She was rude and dismissive. Even though there was styrofoam...

Total yuk. I ordered a #11 combo - - tostada, enchilada, and a chile relleno - - $10.25. I thought beans and rice were included, but found out it would be $1 more, so, o.k., fine. I ordered the rellano soft. My friend ordered the same thing, but with beef in her enchilada instead of cheese and guac on her tostada. The tostadas at Taco Bell are a lot better & the rice wasn' t "right." The cheese enchilada I got was not good. The only good thing was the soft chile relleno & beans. I got a to-go box for the relleno & beans. It cost me $15.80 for Americanized-Mexican food. Never again will I go there. The chips & salsa were free! Salsa was o.k., but the onion in it looked old. Tacos Jalisco on 38th & Tennyson is the real deal. I go out to eat quite often & have lived here 44 years, so I know the real deal. Oh, the manager wasn't on duty, so I couldn't lodge a complaint...

Very terrible experience the waiter didn't keep up on our order felt very pushed off and rushed. Food was really really good but where they really get you is charging you for extra chips that they initially offered you in the first place charging you 2:50 for a drink and then when you ask for a refill which usually is free refills want to charge you a dollar per drink now put the map together you have a family of 5 people each of you order a drink and each get a refill you're looking at over $15 in Just in drinks. now granted my group was really small but now seeing this makes me not want to bring my big family to this restaurant. That being said food was great service was absolutely terrible nd the worth for the food plus the terrible service was not. Be weary...

The food was good. We arrived and thought it was busy because we waited so long to be seated. We noticed the restaurant was empty. After receiving our table we waited a long time for anyone to come to our table. Finally we got our beverage order and appetizers placed. Between the appetizer and dinner the wait was so long. No refills on water or chips and salsa. I had to get up and find someone. They were all talking and laughing by the kitchen. The service here is poor. We waited forever for our check and to pay!

This wonderful restaurant has been around since the 1970's and has always served quality home style authentic Mexican food. The staff are kind and serve with grace and synchronicity. Portions are generous and delicious. La Fonda is a great place do grab a quick meal or celebrate an anniversary or birthday with family and friends. The menu is huge and many delicious options are available to choose from with reasonable pricing. This is a very good place to eat!

I’ve been coming here for 40 years, very nostalgic for my family. It’s so great that it is pretty much the same as when Rick Garcia owned it, in fact, I can’t tell the difference. The LaFonda burrito is my favorite. If you’re in the Wheat Ridge area stop in and enjoy this awesome restaurant.
