La Fonda Latina

"A longtime family favorite, La Fonda Latina serves a mix of Spanish, Mexican, and Cuban dishes, including tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, along with paella and Cuban sandwiches. The cantina has five locations throughout Atlanta (the Howell Mill location has closed.) The group behind La Fonda also own another family favorite: Fellini’s Pizza." - Beth McKibben, Lia Picard

"With five locations across Atlanta, La Fonda is a great place to hang out with friends on the patio with drinks and a bowl of queso blanco — with or without jalapeños. The Ponce La Fonda includes a shady rooftop patio overlooking the busy street below. Order online by location for takeout." - Eater Staff

"There’s a special place in our heart for spots like La Fonda. No matter if you’re on a date or deciding what to feed your star midfielder after the big game, they always come through. Though there are five locations of the laid-back Mexican-Cuban cantina around town (We miss you, Howell Mill! We see you, East Atlanta!), we generally heed the call to slide over to Ponce on sunny days. We know it has as much to do with our kids enjoying the upstairs patio view as it does them loving the cheese quesadillas more than their tablet. But we understand the sentiment. La Fonda’s arroz con pollo is probably the best in the city." - DeMarco Williams
